Close XHTCs Sales For July Are Down 45% From Previous Year, Why? [Discussion] posted on Aug 6th 2012 by Chris Chavez Share This Story

Today, HTC finally announced their profits for your month of July, and theyre not looking so hot. Evidently (recently they announced they were pulling out of South Korean and Brazilian markets) Waterproof Android Phone HTCs revenue fell 45% when compared to the this same time 2009, without a doubt attributable to weakening consumer demand for their flagship One series devices. A year ago, HTC hit NT$45.11 billion for your month of July, even though this year, they was able to usually in NT$25 billion.

Again, these numbers were expected following on from the launch of rival Samsungs Galaxy S3 as well as being only expected to worsen as the rumored next iPhone drops in September. Remember, even when HTC announced they would frequently be focusing their efforts on releasing as few device variants as possible, they still was able to spread themselves thin with 3 flagship devices. Samsung alternatively were able to concentrate on 1 flagship the Galaxy S3 and essentially launched the same phone across all carriers throughout north america (and abroad).

Even though HTC treated criticisms using their older devices head-on when launching the sole series to critical acclaim, it's only AT&T customers who were given dibs with their flagship One X. I cant help but wonder if HTC labored on having the One X in the market to as much carriers as you possibly can, if their numbers would look a little more like Samsungs. What exactly do you guys think? Hypothetically if your One X was on your carrier, should you select Galaxy S3 or use the One X?
