Big problems for suppliers of HTC, expected poor quarterly results - Hardware upgrade.it

The impressive rise of Samsung in the mobile industry with the introduction of the iPhone, have caused the gradual fall in the market share of HTC , once among the industry leaders. The problems of the giant appear to be exacerbated by the difficulties encountered in the chains of suppliers in recent months.

 HTC

According to what is reported by some sources internal to Reuters, in fact, it seems that the lack of plates in aluminum and plastic smartphones are slowing down production drastically, so you will not be able to meet the expected demand from consumers.

HTC fails to achieve the results of the direct competitors with no reference to the quality of products sold: One is one of the most complete and high performance Android devices even today, but it seems that marketing the Taiwanese giant is not aggressive enough to be able to counter effectively the proposals of competitors.

In addition, Samsung has specifically attacked all niches of the market with products that are attractive in relation to the asking price, while HTC uses market strategies significantly different, with a few products, but well targeted. At the moment it seems that HTC is able to produce only 200,000 One mini every month , the result is not in line with the minimum expectations of the manufacturer.

Analysts warn that if the situation does not change we might expect “sad results” cost of the third quarter of 2013, with the company that may be a loss in profits for the first time in the year course. The third quarter will close next week and reporting of financial results is expected in October.

HTC One: start the roll-out of the update to Android 4.3 - Hardware upgrade.it

One of the most interesting Android devices of the present generation is certainly HTC One , the proposal of the Taiwanese manufacturer of aluminum unibody among the most sought from the point of view of the design ever. Although he has had some success, however, the direct opponent Samsung can unleash quarterly results extremely superior with its Galaxy series.

 HTC One Android 4.3

users can HTC One update to Android 4.3 in a short time since it started roll-out on a global scale . Only a few days ago some people in Taiwan have managed to get their hands on the new official version, while the lucky ones today were U.S. consumers.

The package for installing the update is about 564MB and includes a number of improvements with regard to the stability of the system and fix minor bugs. At the same time are improved algorithms for shots at night or in low lighting conditions environment and stereo sound. The update to Android 4.3 also brings Sense 5.0 interface enhancements .

Inside the changelog, as reported by PhoneArena, we can also read that you added an indicator to show the percentage of battery charge, improvements to the Gallery and the addition Video Highlights of options to functionality. The update has not yet arrived in Italy, however, the situation could get unstuck in a few days.

Review HTC Desire 500 - Everything Android

HTC Desire 500 is the new smartphone from mid-low range of the house Taiwanese, especially interesting because it offers good performance and all the HTC Sense software at an affordable price.

Into The Design is very cute, especially thanks to a red frame that wraps around the device, the color is then taken up by the beats audio logo behind the structure, with company logo and the sole aluminum part that encloses the camera’s sensor and the FlashLED. For the rest, the device is fully polished polycarbonate, with the back cover that wraps around the entire device, so as to make it look monocoque, surely the strength with which it was built this device is remarkable.

Into IMG_1574

Into Doing a quick tour physical , on the top we find the 3.5mm jack and the power button on / standby / off, volume rocker on the right embedded in the Metallic frame, below the MicroUSB port and the main microphone, while on the left we have no door or physical key.

Into IMG_1581

Into the rear instead we have the ‘ speaker at the bottom obtained through the holes in the body, the camera with the FlashLED up and the HTC logo. The size of the device allow you to use it fairly easily with one hand, the weight is therefore not by any discomfort in the pockets of his jeans.



Display

Into The Display is one of the best aspects of this device mainly because of resolution of 800 x 480 pixels , with a resolution of 217 ppi . The characters while browsing the web are not visible if you do not carry out operations zoom adequate, but the rendered image is good and above all colors are reproduced very closely. The blacks are good considering we’re talking about an IPS, while the benches as well as the brightness of the LCD is great, it allows you to have a good visibility under direct sunlight.

Into IMG_1576


Camera

Into The camera back is 8 MP and unlike HTC One and One Mini is not equipped with technology Ultrapixel. Still pictures are taken in a discrete manner with colors and contours of objects always a bit ‘too mixed, so even if the definition of the image can be promoted with flying colors, the same can not be said for what concerns the actual playback the framed objects. The videos are shot only to 720p , and in HD quality, even in this case we have not made a perfect record as they often suffer from some lag, but the overall quality is quite acceptable.

Into IMG_1572

Into The camera front is 1.6 MP and is useful for making video calls or take self-portraits without being pretentious.

Into The Software of the camera is very similar to that found on HTC One, we can even say that is exactly the same except for what concerns the functionality Zoe does not exist on this device. Consequently, we can take photos and shoot videos on the same screen, apply effects in real time, activate the digital image stabilizer and adjust all the classic settings such as exposure, contrast, etc..

We invite you to take a look at our sample we took and the video test at 720p posted on our YouTube channel to get an idea of ??the quality of the multimedia device.

Into IMAG0017  IMAG0016  IMAG0015  IMAG0014 IMAG0013  IMAG0012  IMAG0011  IMAG0010  IMAG0005


Audio

Into L ‘ speaker is located in the back, at the bottom center. As for hands-free calling volume and the power of the speaker is good, in fact, the device has passed with flying colors our classic call test in the car with handsfree is active. If we talk about music playback audio will miss too much bass, though the volume is at a level high enough, also because the technology beats audio can only be activated by inserting headphones, with which we will have a much higher quality.

Into IMG_1570


Battery

Into The battery is 1800 mAh . We always used as the device in a very intense way, with many messages in chat (Whats App, Viber, Facebook, etc.), web browsing, a few minutes and call the game: the phone’s battery completely true the 19, without using any option for energy saving, with which we are sure will be able to easily run over night.

Into IMG_1585


Software

Into The Software is version 4.1.1 Android Jelly Bean coupled with the HTC Sense 5. It’s definitely a plus to have all the features of this interface on a device to medium-low. This obviously the content aggregator known as BlinkFeed, exactly as we have seen on HTC One. Some shortcomings of the Sense based on 4.1.1 but they are definitely the lack of quick toggle in the center of notifications and the inability to display the percentage of the battery.

Into IMG_1582

Fluidity

Into The fluidity navigation within the UI is good in most cases. The device does not suffer from lag if he has no special operations, as we begin to see slowdowns also quite evident when we sail in the home for example, when we download an application or send a file via Bluetooth.


Applications

Into In general, the software is very similar to that found on HTC One, and then we will find for example the Auto mode really useful and developed efficiently, the application “Notes” where we can also synchronize our texts of Evernote, the weather , the Flash Player pre-installed, an application that allows us to transfer backup even from Android smartphone and much more.

Gaming

Into The GPU present on the HTC Desire is the Adreno 500 2013 and we were definitely surprised positively. We tested instead of the usual Real Racing 3, the new Asphalt 8 which puts more stress on the processor whip. Obviously, from the point of view of graphics this title does not make it like on a HTC One or a Galaxy S4, due to the resolution decisamene minor, but the fluidity is really very good, suffers from some slowdown only under certain conditions and particularly confusing with many polygons, but for most of the time we will be able to play without any problem.

Browser

Into The Browser HTC is as always very efficient. This time, however, with very heavy websites we have some small problem, some lag that does not affect browsing but worthy of being reported. Surfing the Web sites without excessive features and content to be rendered, the navigation is fluid and smooth without suffering from jamming details.

In conclusion

HTC Desire 500 is certainly a device to keep in mind if you love the experience offered by HTC Sense but you want to avoid spending a blunder for a smartphone. Certainly there are plenty of customization options and all the software package Taiwanese company, with performance and all in all a good price.

Into IMG_1575

Into The launch price of the device is 249 € , but can currently be purchased on the 220/230 euro for some online store, very interesting price if you want a good device, to some extent, but at the same time immersed in the user experience of HTC.

As anticipated, the first models to receive the update will be Developer Edition of HTC One to whom it is addressed ‘s software update 3.22.15401 . A huge leap in release, as the previous year (1.29.1540.17) was still based on Android 4.1.2 (remember that users USA has not received the update to Android 4.2.2 available in our market).

The news, undoubtedly positive for U.S. users, adds to the opening of the distribution of ‘ update to Android 4.3 in the Taiwanese market reported two days ago and contributes to delineate a positive picture in relation to the road-map of updates to HTC One.

HTC working on a variant of HTC One with Octa-core CPU and 3 ... - HDblog (Blog)

HTC could be working to build a top of the range Android variant, with Octa-core CPU and 3 GB of RAM . And ‘what is obtained by a screenshots recently circulated in the network, the veracity of which, for the moment, it is not possible to make assessments more accurate.

htc_one_octa_core

The data that most affect examining the screen are those relating to the SoC system, since it refers to a different hardware platform than the current HTC One. The remaining specifications, on the contrary, do not show significant differences, including a display of 4.7 “with a resolution of 1080p and the presence of the camera Ultrapixel, with front camera 2.1 MP.

Except that the SoC may be the 800 Snapdragon or Tegra 4 (both type quad-core), companies that are developing systems Octa-core SoC for use in mobile computing at the moment are Samsung , which has already marketed device equipped with the new Exynos CPU, MediaTek and Huawei . Beyond the possible candidate and excluded that HTC has the means to produce their own SoC systems, the validity of the news confirms the exclusion of Qualcomm rose from suppliers.

For completeness, we mention that, recently, there have been rumors relating to the choice of replacing the Snapdragon SoC 800 HTC Max One with a previous cheapest model. Among the possible reasons, as well as the containment of costs, there is also the alleged inability of HTC to ensure a sufficient number of orders to Qualcomm (see . HERE ). HTC may therefore actually be looking for an alternative supplier of SoC systems to be used in its terminals and one of the possible candidates could be one of the companies mentioned that you have already try them Octa-core SoC development.

close with the last evaluation on the actual possibility that HTC update its One with a model that, in fact, is a simple variant and not a completely revolutionized. This possibility exists in theory if it is assumed that in recent years HTC has always marketed towards the end of an enhanced variant of the top range (in 2011 and 2012 HTC Sensation XE with HTC One X +). Rumor to that effect were also prevalent during 2013, although he never made reference to the presence of an Octa-core SoC (see . HERE for example ).
