15 years of innovation HTC in the smartphone market - androidmag.de

For 15 years already developed HTC smartphones. To celebrate this anniversary, the company has now put together a short film in which it shows its long and varied history.

15 years is a long time and in the fast-paced smartphone market once more. 15 years ago just Windows 98 hit the market, we do not yet paid to the euro and the former U.S. President Bill Clinton had to explain his relationship with a certain intern to the public. Decade and a half since HTC is already in the smartphone business and has not only witnessed the one or the other innovation, but also actively. In a good three-minute-long video, the Taiwanese manufacturer is now presenting us his story.

15 years of innovation HTC in the smartphone market

Many know HTC as a manufacturer now only exceptionally engineered Android smartphones, but the history of the company began quite differently. When market power and ubiquity of Android, it is hard to believe that Google’s mobile OS has only five years under his belt. Most of his life has not spent so with Android, but with the competition of the now-defunct Windows Mobile HTC. Even then, the company has been a driving force of innovation and brought in 2003, for example, the first Windows Mobile smartphone on the market, which also came with a 3G connection and therefore could quickly surf the internet.

But then with the growing competition from iPhone and Android, which could be operated easily and smoothly by hand, Windows Mobile could not keep up with its nested menus and its stylus operation. So HTC was forced himself to lend a hand and provide the manufacturer with a stale operating system interface. The beginnings were seen first time with the HTC Touch, and later the surface was then renamed the TouchFlo 3D. The great-grandson of this development is now known as Sense and represented on all HTC smartphones.

But of course HTC was only really successful when it has set on Android. Again, the list of innovations is long and significant. With the HTC G1 2008 saw the very first Android smartphone on the market. With the 2011 successful integration of Beats Audio in its smartphones and the boom sound called stereo front speakers with the current flagship, the HTC one, the company has also finally given the previously neglected sound capabilities of smartphones. And while yes you did the first smartphone with Windows Mobile and 3G to the market in 2003, it brought in 2010 the world’s first smartphone with Android and 4G.

HTC has much to be

the smartphone market rendered outstanding and introduced many innovations in the last 15 years. Even if the company is currently struggling a bit, so at least I would not imagine a world without the Taiwanese and hope for another 15 years.

But how do you think? HTC will get out of its current crisis and can return to its former strength, or how many other former champions slip further into the abyss? Your opinions on this in the comments!
