To commemorate the launch of Captain America: The Winter Soldier, HTC has teamed up with the folks over at Marvel to create an ultra-rare S.H.I.E.L.D. Edition of its flagship smartphone of 2014 — if you’re a Captain America fan, then this is definitely the smartphone for you.
HTC’s One smartphones have been a beacon of superior design among Android handsets, yet amid slumping sales even that bright light is dimming for the struggling smartphone maker as its head of design has decided to leave the company.
The man behind HTC’s One smartphone line, Scott Croyle, has announced that he is leaving the Taiwanese company after leading the industrial design and user experience teams since his studio One & Co was acquired in 2008.
When HTC launched its flagship smartphone of 2014 just three weeks ago, it awarded customers a handful of promotional goodies to get them started — this is called the HTC Advantage campaign. As part of the program, anyone who purchases a handset automatically receives 50GB of free Google Drive storage, however, this doesn’t appear to be the case for AT&T customers.
Carriers in the United States are pretty strict about users turning their mobile devices into Wi-Fi hotspots. They go that extra step to block such traffic, forcing users to pay for a tethering plan if they want to share their mobile device’s data.
The new HTC One (M8) is no exception to this rule. However, users can gain the ability to tether their handsets — without racking up additional charges — by simply editing a system file. Read the steps below to find out how.
HTC has been trying to re-invent mobile cameras using its UltraPixel camera sensors in its flagship handsets. While the company’s effort has not been appreciated by all, it is definitely heading in the right direction.
Now, in an interview with Vodafone U.K., HTC’s camera expert, Symon Whitehorn, revealed some interesting tidbits about the future of UltraPixel and how the smartphone camera scene is going to change dramatically in the next 12-18 months.
