Hasta La Gadget!

All right, so there is the HTC One mini, but how about something that is far smaller than that – where it is known as the HTC Mini? There were whispers of this candybar shaped handset going around earlier this year, and the main purpose of this particular device to exist would be to hook up to the HTC Butterfly. Just in case the HTC Butterfly sounds familiar to you, that is because it is better known as the HTC Droid DNA over in the USA. Well, the HTC Mini has more or less remained under the radar to most folks, being available only for the Chinese HTC Butterfly model to date, but it seems that it will also muscle its way to the UK market this time around.

The HTC Mini will boast of NFC connectivity, and resembles an old school cordless device. It will hook up to the HC Butterfly while functioning as an extended phone which can be used to handle your incoming and outgoing calls as well as text messages, in addition to letting you check out your phone logs and calendar entries all via its monochrome display. Apparently, Clove is accepting pre-orders for the HTC Mini at approximately $100 after conversion.

It was yesterday when we spotted a Vine spot of what could very well be a potential HTC One Max teaser, although that remains to be seen. Today, we have unearthed a YouTube clip by HTC (which happens to feature the tagline, “Here’s To Change” that will hopefully come true since HTC’s recent corporate performance has been far from satisfactory, and shareholders are an easy lot to lose their patience with) which might very well hint about the upcoming HTC One Max, too, considering how that device has seen its fair share of leaks in recent memory.

This unlisted teaser YouTube video has been titled “Big Things Ahead”, and the description of the video itself is so vague with such a large scope, your guess is as good as mine as to what it can possibly be. Of course, the HTC One Max would have the highest chance of making it as the correct answer since it has gone through the rumors and alleged photos phase, but who knows, HTC might very well have a device that they have successfully kept under wraps all this while?

“Big Things Ahead” Teaser YouTube Clip By HTC original content from Ubergizmo.

While just a couple of bits and pieces were spilled yesterday, overnight it would appear that HTC made with the full-length video spot for their newest campaign entitled “Big Things Ahead.” They also use the tag #HTChange, a single iteration of the multi-word collection of possibilities for what H.T.C. could stand for. It’s also been […]

Remember when HTC decided to add its own contributions to the One Mini rumor mill by using its own infographic? It seems the Taiwan-based company is following the same trend with the HTC One Max, a device that we’ve heard about for what seems like months. On its official Twitter account, it posted a teaser in the form of a six-second Vine, three simple words and a hashtag: “big things ahead. #HTChange.” Take from that what you will, but it seems to us that this particular tease means we’ll be seeing the larger variant of the One sooner rather than later.

Update: There’s now a YouTube clip showing a similar teaser, but it’s not clear whether the phone featured in it is actually the One Max. See for yourself after the break.

HTC has been struggling to gain its share in the market that is largely dominated by Apple and Samsung. The company made progress with its latest Android flagship, the HTC One, but still its weak quarterly earnings and relatively low market share have analysts wondering what might be in store for HTC. Alice Sun, a well known analyst at EE Times, recently posted a rumor on Sina Weibo claiming that HTC Chairwoman Cher Wang had made up her mind to stop making mobile phones, and that she had even put HTC up for sale in the market. HTC has responded to that rumor with an official statement, saying that it is not up for sale.

Despite the rebuttal from HTC, Alice Sun followed up on Sina Weibo and claimed that time will reveal the reality. On the other hand, HTC says that it is “committed to innovation and will continue to deliver new designs and products to consumers worldwide.” The company is expected to launch its first ever phablet in the coming weeks, the HTC One Max. There haven’t been any more rumors indicating that HTC might be bowing out of the smartphone industry, we’ll keep an eye on this situation and will report on any developments.
