Go back to what worked, modernize it a little bit, sell through carriers at a price tag competitive with say OnePlus, and profit. They could present a good alternative to OnePlus with stereo speakers and expandable memory, not to mention actually useful and amazing cameras

          That's good to hear. They always made very good phones.

            Finally.
            They should juat play the smartphone game a little harder.
            Finally go full bezeless, go back to front facing speakers, keep the pressure sensitive buttons (before Oppo makes them popular) as a statement, bring back the 3.5mm jack for the h8rs (because for them LDAC clearly isn't good enough. I really wanna see at least one of the people complaining about the lack of a 3.5mm jack listening to more than .mp3 files), use higher pixel counts (12MP is a thing of the past. I don't even know why it was ever brought back), and finally add a killer feature.

I think the people on the hTC board and the designers never learn from mistakes. Their phones lack in several aspects; removal of the headphone jack, lower battery capacity compared to competition, worthless feature like squeeze actions etc.etc. I wont mind having a mm or two thicker phone with great battery life. they never learn and the launching price is always high regardless the features. if they dont change their approach to the market they will go down again.

                Good news. I hope they make it. The more competition the better. But they need to provide better updates and better products.

                  I highly doubt that they made a any profit. They are probably getting ready to sell the company and they needed to "cook the books " to make HTC look better than they actually are.

                      If Fuggle buys anything, most of the time they buy it to destroy it.

And probabl... moreSame in European countries and what is shocking is the price they have got for flagship models compared to others, is really low price (what is good) - they are not very popular anymore, everybody wants to own a Apple, Samsung or a Huawei... and HTC started most of it for smartphones, I recall the time I called my smartphone a PDA.

                          IMO, I think it will be very hard for HTC to retrieve its past glory in smartphone market. The market is different to what it had been a few years ago, when HTC phones are more popular. Investing in other fields seems to be only future for HTC.

                                      All they need to do is follow what apple and samsung has done, make 3 phones, a budget one with probably a snapdragon 710 or better, a normal one and a pro one, with good cameras with good features. Expand on their audio and advertise it and have good battery life on their phones and their phones will sell, oh and also bring the 3.5mm jack back. They can make a comeback but they carry on doing dumb stuff.
