HTC To Make A Comeback With New Smartphone In India, Likely to Launch Desire 19+

After nearly a year break, Taiwan-based smartphone manufacturer HTC is set to make a comeback with a new smartphone for the Indian market. The company has teased a new smartphone launch in India in its social media accounts, and the comeback teaser is also live on e-commerce site Flipkart.

Unfortunately, the teaser does not reveal the official launch date for the phone, but it highlights a few key features of the phone that includes waterdrop notch. Looking at the waterdrop notch on the teaser, we can expect the brand to launch recently launched HTC Desire 19+ in India.

In a short video teaser, HTC has highlighted some of its achievements of the company over the past decade. In 2007, HTC introduced the world’s first touch-centric phone. In 2008, the T-Mobile G1 was the first Android phone, made by HTC. The One M8 in 2013 was the first smartphone with a unibody metal design and dual rear cameras. In 2016, HTC launched its first smartphone with front and back OIS cameras.

At the end of the video teaser, we can see a phone with a waterdrop notch. The company recently launched the HTC Desire 19+ smartphone in Taiwan. So, it might be the same smartphone that is going to enter the Indian market in the coming days.
