As per the news coming from sources, it seems that HTC has solved the production problem of its flagship HTC One. The problem was considered to be the biggest problem associate with the HTC One and that issue prevented it from properly competing in the market – slow production numbers. According to reports, the component supply issues responsible for the problem have been solved.
Some newspaper reports that HTC will double the One’s production in May compared to the previous month. The production issues meant that the One’s arrival in certain countries was delayed, including the U.K. and certain Asian markets.
HTC president, Jack Tong was quoted as, “Our capacity is expected to rise significantly starting from mid-May,” “We are optimistic about our high-end sales during April and June.”
It is informed that one of the suspected reasons for the delays is the 4MP UltraPixel camera that the One features.
HTC is facing stiff competition from its main rivals, Samsung. Report shows HTC has got revenues of US$1.43 billion during the January-March quarter this year, which is a 29% drop from the Oct-Dec 2012 quarter and a 37% year on year decrease.
HTC President Jack Tong believes that the company’s 5-inch phone, the HTC Butterfly has the potential to be one of the important phones in the lineup, which saw a 50% sales increase in Japan (sold as the J Butterfly there) after the contract price was slashed to zero recently. The company is also planning to release updates for the Butterfly by the end of this month, enabling several built-in software features that are on the new HTC One, such as the Sense 5.0 user interface, the BlinkFeed live-streaming home screen and the slideshow function for the camera.
Meanwhile, it is also confirmed by HTC that HTC One is all set to get the Android 4.2.2 update very soon. The news has been confirmed by HTC’s ROM developer LlabTooFeR on Twitter. The HTC One includes a 4.7-inch Super LCD 3 display supporting full 1080p HD resolution natively. The display has pixel density of 469 pixels per inch and 1080×1920 resolution . This is also in the news that HTC has recently confirmed in a statement that it is unlikely to release a version of the HTC One with a pure Android experience. But rumors are there saying t the company may release a phone later this summer that is similar to the HTC One but without Sense.
