Bitter pill for HTC: The Taiwanese smartphone(JIAYU G2S) manufacturer must supply passports due to individual components to move the launch of its new flagship model HTC One. For the company, there is currently no good anyway.
The HTC is one of the great hopes of HTC, which is due to strong competition from powerful Samsung-6, 90%, and Apple-1, 21% under pressure. Recently, the company had to contend with strong sales declines. As the "Wall Street Journal" reported that planned for the third week of March launch is postponed for two to three weeks. An exact date is not known yet. This is because of supply problems.
Especially for components such as the metal housing and camera parts are loud HTC(A9600 MTK6589) managers delivery problems. "We work closely with all partners to ensure that we can serve as many orders as possible", the HTC marketing manager Benjamin Ho cited. Preorders would in some markets until the end of March, then another comes in early April.
Hard times for HTC
In February, the Taiwanese manufacturer had introduced its new HTC One. At that time, a simultaneous launch with more than 185 suppliers in 80 countries had been announced. By rescheduling the HTC One loses its advantage over the major competitor of Samsung Galaxy S 4(ThL A1), which will be released in late April. Anyway, the situation at the Taiwanese manufacturer is serious: Just last year, HTC had to because of declining job numbers significantly reduce its pre-orders, said a representative of the mobile phone manufacturer. HTC could now secure any matching camera components, as it is not a top customer more. A key reason for the delays.
