May 22, 2013 22:20 BST HTC One can’t save HTC from HTC First failure Yes, the HTC One may have nothing but amazing reviews and praises, but we all know how the Taiwanese phone maker is slowly wilting away. A good part of it is brought about by the disastrous sales of the HTC First (Facebook Phone) and with the company’s executives leaving HTC one executive at a time. HTC’s Kouji Kodera left the company just last week (this news is according to Chris Ziegler of The Verge). Meanwhile, Lennard Hoornik (HTC Asia’s CEO) left the company according to CNET. Furthermore, employees have hurled themselves off the company’s doors in the last three months. According to Ziegler’s anonymous source: “They’re in utter freefall.” Since 2011, HTC has been experiencing bad luck after the another. After receiving poor sales, the once majestic tech giant needed something like the HTC One to take it away out of a bad year. Yes, the HTC One could actually do great things for the company, but it didn’t. The HTC One was launched in mid of April and it sales of the device started off real slow. This is indeed a worse outlook than what was reported earlier. According to them, the HTC One is “selling well”, but not as well as the Samsung Galaxy S4 (it’s biggest and strongest competitor). HTC says that this is all because of their “supply issues”. The thing is, even if HTC get back on the track, it might be too late for the Taiwanese phone maker to fix their internal issues and sales problems. Samsung’s Galaxy S4 has already captured the market and has sold its 10 Million units in less than a month. This is a new record for Samsung, as the predecessor of the Galaxy S4 (the Samsung Galaxy S3) sold 10 Million units in 50 days). If the HTC One is making decent sales for the company, the newly launched HTC First (Facebook Phone) on the other hand is nothing but a complete FAILURE. This is a huge disaster for HTC and of course, Facebook. Despite all the hype with HTC partnering with Facebook, things only got worse. Not even the mighty social networking site can help HTC sell more HTC First unit. Not even when AT&T has decided to drop down the phone’s price from $99.00 to 99 cents. The question is, if the HTC One can’t help the ailing company, what new HTC phone can? For more HTC One information, visit us at Phoneslimited.co.uk.
