Report: HTC to announce three new smartphones in Q1 2017

HTC has struggled quite a bit this year, despite having a few soliddevices on offer including the high-end Bolt and 10. In hopes of turning things around next year, HTC will, according to the latest report from Taiwan, announce three new smartphones in the first quarter.
HTC will probably announce the first device at a press conference on January 12. Rumors have it that the company will take the wraps off the mid-range X10, the successor to the last year’s X9. The device is expected to come with a 5.5-inch 1080p display, MediaTek’s Helio P10 processor, 3 GB of RAM, and a 13 MP rear camera. These are just educated guesses for now, as HTC has not confirmed any of the rumors regarding the device.
The second device in question is most likely the HTC 11 — codenamed HTC Ocean. The flagship device just might be announced during the Mobile World Congress (MWC), which kicks off on February 27 in Barcelona.
The third smartphone HTC plans on announcing next year might be a phablet. Apparently, the company is working on a device called HTC Ocean Note, which means that it will probably be a bigger version of the upcoming HTC 11. As of now, we really don’t know much about it, but we could assume that it will go head to head with other high-end phablets such as the LG V20.
For HTC’s sake, let’s hope that these devices bring a few new things to the table that will be able to spark consumer interest. Otherwise, things don’t look good for the company, which hasn’t really been able to keep up with the competition in recent years.

EVERYTHING WE KNOW ABOUT THE PIXEL 4, THE MOST-LEAKED PHONE EVER

Image
Google’s  Pixel 3 might have been the  most-leaked phone in history . Long before its unveiling, we knew practically everything about it from unboxing videos, photo comparisons, even a full review of the device. Surely, for the Pixel 4, Google would clamp down on leaks to leave some surprises for its debut on  October 15th , right? Let’s just say, if that was the plan, it didn’t exactly work out. We’ve now seen the Pixel 4 XL from every angle and in three different colors. At least seven different sources have touched this phone, many of them confirming the same specs. We not only know which cameras it’ll have, but also what they may be capable of, including air gestures (go figure). That doesn’t even count information Google has already shared  on purpose. So if you want to know almost everything about the Pixel 4 nearly a month before it’s announced, buckle up. We’ve sifted through all of the rumors and information we can find to compile everything we know —...
