Did you know?
HTC was founded in Taiwan in 1997 and was the powerhouse behind many popular operator-branded phones (for example, the G1 'Google Phone'). So although the name HTC is often hidden, many great innovations can be traced back to this high-tech company - the first colour palm-sized PC, the first Microsoft Pocket PC, the first Microsoft Smartphone and 3G phone, and many more world firsts.
Many think that HTC entered the phone industry in 2006, because that's when HTC launched their own branded devices. They have since released dozens of HTC-branded products globally such as the groundbreaking HTC Touch series, the first ever phones to feature intuitive touchscreen technology, and the HTC Desire, 2010's Phone of the Year.
Today, HTC is one of the leading manufacturers of smartphones, with a wide variety of easy-to-use and well-designed phones that feature the latest innovations. A full quarter of HTC’s entire workforce works in research and development — no wonder they bring out so many leading devices!
