While it’s not yet the pot of gold that they’re looking for, HTC have posted their latest earnings report which detailed around a US$1bn turnover and an operating loss of roughly US$64 million.
Yeah, that’s pretty gloomy still but it’s certainly better than over US$100 Million operating losses which they suffered last year and their sales figures are on the up, likely a by-product of the release of the HTC One (M8).

But the unfortunate reality is that Samsung market their devices extremely well and HTC have yet to learn the art of marketing to their market. Once they learn this instead of relying on a stale reputation that they earned 4 or 5 generations of phone ago, they’ll… Read more »
