HTC’s cell phone division limps on with metaverse-centered Desire 22 Pro

It hasn’t delivered a cutthroat lead gadget in years, however HTC’s cell phone division isn’t tapping out at this time. Today it declared the HTC Desire 22 Pro, a development to last year’s HTC Desire 21 Pro, and the organization’s enormous effort to exploit the supposed metaverse. In the UK, it’s listed at £399 and will transport on August 1st.

There are several unique viewpoints to the telephone’s metaverse usefulness. In the first place, it’s intended to be the “perfect companion” to HTC’s as of late reported Vive Flow VR headset and used to get to Viverse, HTC’s interpretation of the metaverse. The headset is intended to work with any Android telephone, however, so it’s not altogether clear what the Desire 22 Pro offers that isn’t accessible somewhere else.

There’s likewise some NFT usefulness here, with HTC’s Taiwanese site promoting that the telephone incorporates a computerized wallet to oversee crypto resources, and accompanies a free NFT. This seems to change by market, be that as it may, since comparable language is absent in the marketing materials on its UK site.

Elsewhere, the Desire 22 Pro’s specs are completely midrange. It has a 6.6-inch 1080p presentation with a high 120Hz revive rate, and an opening punch score in its upper left containing a 32-megapixel selfie camera. Around back there are three back cameras, a 64-megapixel fundamental camera, a 13-megapixel ultrawide, and a 5-megapixel profundity sensor.

Internally it’s controlled by a Snapdragon 695 processor, with 8GB of RAM, 128GB of stockpiling and a 4,520mAh battery. It upholds remote and opposite remote charging, runs Android 12, and has an IP67 rating for residue and water obstruction. The Desire 22 Pro comes in one or the other dark or gold.

The approach is exceptionally suggestive of HTC’s past blockchain-controlled cell phone, the Exodus 1, which it delivered in 2018, and circled back to the more reasonable Exodus 1S the next year. In any case, neither one of the telephones seems to have switched HTC’s cell phone fortunes. The organization’s piece of the pie apparently dove to less than half a percent in 2018, that very year it sold much of its smartphone talent to Google. These days, HTC sells not many cell phones that it doesn’t enlist on open smartphone market share trackers.
