At a time when lesser-known brands and comparatively new smartphone brands have scripted success stories, the time is now seemingly ripe to witness revival of brands which were not too long ago known for premium devices before today’s ‘successful’ brands came into existence. Hence, it makes sense for the former to update itself and come out with newer avatars to compete in the market; especially the Indian scheme of things.

One brand that not too long ago showed, potential sparks, was Taiwan-based HTC which was not too long ago rumoured to be exiting the smartphones segment. Now, the brand has seemingly dismissed these rumours and stated that it would launch newer phones shortly.

As per a DigiTimes report, HTC loyalists could expect newer and updated smartphone variants from the company, towards 2018-end or in 2019.

However, the USP of this development is that the company is rumoured to be working extensively on integrating newer technological element including 5G; coupled with Artificial Intelligence (AI) and related technology.

Other technical details have also surfaced, and as per these, there could be a 6GB RAM edition offering 128GB internal storage; this smartphone is speculated to be released during the end of this year. In relation to this, there could be more devices following suit during the early part of next year.

Hence, at this juncture, it becomes imminent to imagine the fact about HTC potentially launching a 5G-compatible smartphone as soon as the global deployment and rollout of 5G goes underway and completed.
