Hey dudes! Thanks so much for checking out the video! I'm committed to getting the facts straight, so let me know if you've noticed any mistakes. I'll post them here in the show notes! Party on!
I had an HTC phone with windows mobile. I had it for a year and a half then it just turned off one day and wouldn’t turn back on. Not surprised they’re out of business.
HTC has this same pattern with their VR headsets: The HTC vive, they partnered with valve which was back then a really good VR headset, once valve stopped their cooperation together their products got twice as expensive but quality got less. They started to release new headsets every year to every two years where the quality, the tracking and so on got worse. They started to what are standard features sell them seperately for egrogrious prices mainly because they were the only brand doing it. Only for them today to give up on the consumer market for VR headsets and now being the laughing stock of the VR market with hundreds of alternatives that are cheaper and better. To this day while inferior to some other more modern VR headsets the Valve index is still recommended as PC headset aside from the quests standalone ones. It's the middle of the road alternative to the cheaper quests and pico neo's. It seems everytime HTC seems to dominate the market they just spam the market to profit and then blow their own reputation by doing that only to give up later. Seems HTC's slogan ''give up when it starts to get competitive''. They seem to want a monopoly for themselves and when they haven't gotten one they go crybaby everywhere blaming the consumer at times becoming the laughing stock eventually.
Why no mention of the HTC Vive? Was it not a main contributor to the company? I felt like it was such a big force in the initial Oculus Rift vs HTC Vive battle in the mid to late 2010’s. Other than that, great video!
@@DaltonJWood I didn't see anything about the vive in my research, I was focused on their phones. Several comments have pointed it out. it seems like cool tech
@@GOPRepubliklan yeah dude. He's probably my favorite artist of all time. I'm a jazz guitarist so I'll have to suggest his jazz big band album "a hot night in Paris" and his work with "brand X"

It feels like HTC, Blackberry and Nokia could have been way bigger than they are.
@@danielosawaru9045 yeah for sure.
Damn bro, I just watched the whole video and the quality of video and the edits that you make deserves huge number of followers. 🙌🙌
@@BhanuPratapSingh-xg2mm thanks dude!

@@techwiz81 yeah it's crazy
just because your particular model turned off randomly doesnt mean its a bad phone, and i never had a htc phone, plus htc came back this year
@@archux_ they didn't "come back". They never left. If you're referring to the u24 pro, that line of phones has been around since 2019.
@@archux_ that’s actually exactly what it means, when a phone becomes completely unusable before the contract is even up it’s a bad phone
was it htc hd2?
Same as LG. Budget "flagship killer" options from China left only room for one "premium" android phonemaker.
Imagine putting "polite ringer" in your commercial thinking that will sell something.
@@ModricoTV yeah their commercials were something that's for sure.
HTC One M7, One M8 and HTC 10 were my most favorite phones ever. I hope HTC would stick to the unibody metal design for their latest phones.
Yeah they're beautiful phones.
How do we sell lots of phones? "make good phones" gee, thanks RUclipsr for your invaluable advice. No one would have thought of that.

My first phone was a Wildfire. My parents seemed to expect me to be super happy to have one. Too bad it was crap.
@@chronikhiles oh lol.

Dude I love your channel. Been watching for a while. Keep it going.
Thanks my dude!
Patents - copyrights and trademarks aid only in creating/maintaining monopolies. They are anti-competitive and anti-free market.
Yeah that's why it's cool how Tesla doesn't patent their stuff.
you deserve way more attention than this, your videos rock!
Thanks dude! You rock!
Good video, you deserve more viewers
@@ing_gl thanks dude!
Good video man. Love the Greenday tshirt!
@@akkinak hack yeah dude. I got it a few weeks ago at the saviors tour
your video is good man, liked and subscribed. but can you make a video about asus zenphone ? thanks!
Thanks dude! I'll look into it. I was so sad when they stopped making those
@@owencooktech yeah, look into that interesting topic
Interesting topic.
Thanks
Sort your volume levels out dude 🤷♂️
@@johntknight I normalized the whole video. Maybe it's your speakers/ headphones? What part did you notice it in?
Like the Genesis shirt. Long live Phil Collins!
@@GOPRepubliklan yeah dude. He's probably my favorite artist of all time. I'm a jazz guitarist so I'll have to suggest his jazz big band album "a hot night in Paris" and his work with "brand X"
so would you advise someone to get a modern htc phone?
@@yorrickwi yeah if it looks interesting to you. Most modern androids don't have a headphone jack, so if that's what you're looking for go for it!
@@owencooktech well that and having expandable storage
High Tech Crap
That's a little harsh lol.
First!
second, technically since the poster first commented 9 hours ago
Damn bro, I just watched the whole video and the quality of video and the edits that you make deserves huge number of followers. 🙌🙌
