Back in May, we reported that HTC is staging a comeback in the Philippines. Two months after HTC Philippines is now here, and they brought their latest smartphones.
Just as initially planned, HTC will initially offer their smartphones online, before venturing the physical retailer space. The brand has tapped Lazada Philippines, leading e-Commerce platform in the country, to carry their products.
HTC’s current portfolio on Lazada includes the previous Desire-line devices, and their dated HTC U line-up. This includes the HTC U Ultra, U Play, and their current flagship, the U11 — which dominated Antutu’s top ten fastest smartphone list for the month of May before it was dethroned by the OnePlus 5.
