HTC has suggested that it will launch its smartphones in India again after a gap of over a year since it launched Desire 12 and Desire 12+ in June last year. HTC put out a tweet from its India Twitter handle teasing its comeback. The Taiwanese company has suggested that the new HTC smartphone features a water drop-style display notch, which is expected to be the HTC Desire 19+.
The teaser video also depicts HTC’s journey so far in the smartphone world. The company had launched the HTC Touch, the world’s first touch-centric phone, in 2007 to the world’s first Android-based smartphone HTC Dream in 2008 to the HTC 10 that supported sport optical image stabilisation (OIS) in both front and back cameras in 2016.
