2015-08-08
this episode of Android khooneh is brought to you by domain.com so HTC has delivered its quarterly reports and it doesn't look pretty but the CFO did promise that they have a new product and a new category is that hopeful or just double speak for we don't know what the to do real briefly let's start with the numbers the embattled Taiwanese company announced that it is back in the red with a net loss of 252 million us HTC provided a couple of graphics that illustrate how deep the quagmire is consider that the Q 2 2015 was the first full quarter of availability for the HTC One m9 it was the time for the m9 to show its mettle and really helped HTC return to growth instead the device actually held back HTC and the reality is it's going to get worse before it gets better if ever HTC CFO Chang outlined the three areas that the company will focus on over the next few months in order to return to profit HTC intense serious cost-saving measures which could mean people losing their jobs HTC said they will also try and address premium segments but not flagships HTC called this a premium mid-range that sounds like more desire phones and finally HTC hopes to capitalize on new segments like VR where it boasts it has a first mover advantage but VR still uncharted water and we're skeptical it will provide HTC the deliverance that it needs I feel a little bit like a broken record over the past ten years there has been a smartphone war and the reality is Apple one it's over they pwned everyone else that's not opinion that's just fact before you guys freak out and say I should be fired for saying something positive about Apple on an android authority show but it's the truth they have ninety two percent of the markets profit that doesn't mean ninety ninety two percent of the market share don't get me wrong it just means they make gobs more money than any other manufacturer Samsung is a distant second an HTC and LG and sony and all those other wonderful tech companies have a sliver of the pie on the best days so what is HTC supposed to do well suc CFO said all the right things said they were in a cut costs focus on their profitable devices which are the desired devices and he was going to come up with a new product and a new product category that's all the right things you want to say to your shareholders investors the question is can HTC execute now for those of you been watching for a long time you know I'm really excited about new wearable categories new categories of products that take advantage of the internet of things but what do you think what is a new product category then HTC can blow up they don't have to be first but they do have to be first in the mind what gadget or or solution or problem do you think HTC could solve I'd be really interested hear it in the comments below yes I have been sending Oh t-shirts see people actually get them and you have about two more days to come up with a domain name that has a dot-com that is Android related and somehow makes me laugh show us the power of a dot-com please why because no domain name extension tells your story with the same level of trust as a.com or.net domain name dot com and.net domain name extensions and Jack credibility in to your online presence and who doesn't want more credibility you can say fifteen percent on domain name and web hosting is when you use our coupon code android at domain.com check out don't forget fifteen percent off when you use our coupon code android when you think domain names think domain.com alright guys i have a sort something out earlier in this week I did a best android smartphone 2015 edition and a number of people in the comments felt that the tenth option the ZTE axon was mentioned by me because it was a sponsored product whoa anytime a service or product is sponsored I will say this episode of Android Q&A is brought to you by domain.com that every time I would never suggest a product or service that was sponsored and not tell you that it was sponsored that would be seriously unethical and is never going to happen I think people have a hard time believing that ZTE could make a premium quality phone and they hit it out of the park with this phone hopefully they continue to do so don't forget about my brothers and sister and Android we're working super hard to be source for all things android
