The HTC One mini was announced earlier this year, but it seems that HTC might be running into some issues with regards to the production of the casings for the handset, which some believe has led to poor third quarter sales for the company. As it stands, HTC is only selling about 200,000 units of the HTC One mini every month which might seem like a huge number for the layman, is definitely not great as far as manufacturers are concerned, at least compared to tech giants such as Samsung or Apple who managed to sell 9 million iPhone units over the weekend alone.
Analysts predict that if HTC does not manage to get their supply chain “fixed”, it could lead to pretty grim results in Q3. In any case HTC has been struggling for quite a while now so this does not come as a complete surprise. In fact there have been rumors that HTC could be creating a new operating system designed specifically for the Chinese market which could help them gain some market share in the future, especially since the market at the moment is being dominated by Samsung and Apple. Either way Q3 for HTC is expected to end next week, so we guess we won’t have to wait too long to see how big of a loss HTC will be posting.

Word that hails right from the mouth of an official source is what most of us would like to hear when it comes to the unveiling or release of a particular device or update. Case in point, Jason Mackenzie, President of HTC America, tweeted that the HTC One will finally be on the receiving end of the Android 4.3 Jelly Bean update before September comes to a close. Not only that, those who happen to have the HTC One Developer Edition sitting pretty in their pockets will also be receiving the last of the Jelly Bean builds from this week onward. We do wonder whether the

At the Cyanogen Inc. formation announcement, there was a particularly interesting bit of information that was pointed out by those who went through the entire announcement with a keen eye for detail. It seems that Cyanogen Inc. are currently in cahoots, or rather, partnership, with a major smartphone OEM. This deal has already been struck, but the official announcement is set to be announced in a few weeks’ time. CyanogenMod fans would be extremely happy to hear this particular news, where it translates to being able to buy an official CyanogenMod handset sometime in 2014.
There is nothing quite like a firmware update to give an aging device a new lease of life, is there? HTC has just rolled out a new firmware update for the HTC One Mini, where it is said that this particular update will be able to fix several bugs as well as improve on the device’s stability after installation. The entire firmware update itself is not to be trifled with, we are looking at a 214MB chunk of data to be downloaded.
Well, you know for sure that a particular device is about to arrive in the mainstream market when it appears on the FCC, and the same can be said for the HTC Desire 601. Much has been leaked about it, but there was still no exact release date as well as pricing details for the HTC Desire 601. I guess all of that will change now, with the smartphone from Taiwanese manufacturer HTC making a splash over at the FCC. So far, in the FCC listing itself, it sports compatibility with Sprint’s LTE bands, alongside the HTC Desire 601′s codename of “Zara” seen in the build number.
