HTC Phones - From Biggest Smartphone Maker to Nothing!

I was an HTC fan, an LG fan, and a Palm fan I'm very good at picking failures

Man, when the HTC One M7 came out, it was the coolest phone I'd ever seen.

HTC phones were my favorite. They had the best speakers I've ever used on a mobile phone and they always felt premium and ahead of their time. I use Google Pixels now but would love for HTC to come back.

I honestly loved my HTC One M7. It was by far the most satisfying phone I can remember

Stereo front facing speakers. Changed my world.

If you ignore Marketing, Market will ignore you.

I had two htc's over the years, starting in 2009, totally approved of both. Always wondered what happened to the company. Samsung did.

before I swapped to iPhone, I was using HTC phones. They were amazing. My first smartphone, I bought for myself out of high school was the HTC Evo. It was very exciting to me. And it's interesting that you touched on it, because as I'm looking into VR equipment, I noticed HTC was working on it and it instantly made me consider them because of my previous experience with their products.

when he said, "If you owned one, you loved it." I felt that. 🥺

I miss htc phones, they were my favourite phone maker.

HTC holds a special place in my heart

I loved my HTC Desire, it was my first smartphone and it was so great. I'd love to see HTC come back at some point with a game changing mobile device and re-establish themselves in the space.

I remember using my HTC One M8 for the first time. That’s something you don’t forget. That’s not a phone you forget.

I still remember the day the One M7 hit the market. It looked like an entirely different to anything else at the time like it had come from the future. Everything else like the S3-S4 felt like absolute junk immediately when you held a One M7.

The original htc one was incredible! The speaker placement and quality were unrivaled. Was heartbroken when I dropped mine and the screen shattered. The models that came after the first one weren’t nearly as nice so I switched back to apple :(

HTC changed from High Tech Corp. to “Help This Company”. Companies rise and fall, hopefully they can rise back again.

HTC had THE BEST LOOKING smartphones back then!

Kinda crazy how powerful Samsung was without directly doing anything to HTC - the Samsung vs apple idea is soooo smart on Samsungs part to both stay in the game AND push HTC out at the same time

I worked for HTC technical support from 2009 through 2014 and i can tell you there is even more to this story. Many of their flagship phones during that error had numerous problems with hardware or software that drove off loyal customers. For example, the Evo has several OS updates that erased user data or made them unusable. The HTC One had a horrible issue with purple tinted photos in low light. The company knew it was a hardware issue but refused to admit it to customers, trying to patch it with software updates. The screens in those early phones were quite susceptible to cracking, which was not covered by thr warranty until 2014. The warranty, even for covered issues, required users to mail their phone to a repair center in Texas and be without it for weeks. The repair center, like other aspects of the company, was poorly managed. The did not follow a first in, first out policy, leading to some customers phones sitting there for over year, by which point the company was no longer making spare parts for them. We had hundreds of customers that had to be notified that their phone they had mailed to us over a year before was unfixable. They hired a terrible PR firm to design their website and they completely botched it. Most phones only had a Spanish copy of the user manual listed. HTC was poorly managed and that's why it fell apart
