It has also trumpeted work with China Mobile, the world\u2019s largest operator by subscribers, as part of the operator\u2019s 5G Devices Forerunner Initiative.<\/p>\n<p>In a statement, the vendor said it is &#8220;driving the future ubiquity of converged technology&#8221; in AR and VR, by &#8220;offering the next generation of high-bandwidth, low-latency, real-time services and applications\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Partners for other regions, including Europe, will be announced in 2019, alongside full details of the Qualcomm-powered product.<\/p>\n<p>Cher Wang, chairwoman and CEO, said: \u201cWe believe that 5G technology will help connect solutions across even more applications in the future, enabling users to have a seamless experience across smartphones, VR, AR, and more.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While HTC played a pioneering role in the development of the smartphone market, it has suffered [3] in recent years due to tough competition from both established and new competitors.<\/p>\n<p>It is betting heavily on VR as a future driver through its Vive business, although it is yet to reap the rewards of this work.<\/p>\n<p>By highlighting its work in 5G, the company is reasserting its relevance as a front runner in mobile technology. It has not so-far announced plans for a 5G smartphone, although its work on the Snapdragon 855\/X50 hub should stand it in good stead.<\/p>\n[1] https:\/\/www.mobileworldlive.com\/featured-content\/top-three\/sprint-htc-team-on-5g-data-device\/<br \/>\n[2] https:\/\/www.mobileworldlive.com\/asia\/asia-news\/telstra-connects-first-5g-customer\/<br \/>\n[3] https:\/\/www.mobileworldlive.com\/devices\/news-devices\/htc-continues-to-feel-pain-in-q3\/<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Troubled smartphone maker HTC touted its 5G credentials, stating a 5G smart hub device will &#8230;<\/p>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mobileworldlive.com\/devices\/news-devices\/htc-stakes-claim-to-5g-leadership\/\">HTC stakes claim to 5G leadership<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mobileworldlive.com\/\">Mobile World Live<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/test\/wordpress\/2018\/12\/19\/htc-stakes-claim-to-5g-leadership\/\">\u95b1\u8b80\u5168\u6587 <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":52,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"slim_seo":[],"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false}}},"categories":[],"tags":[19,11,18,8],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p7prtj-asC","jetpack-related-posts":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/test\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40214"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/test\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/test\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/test\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/52"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/test\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=40214"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/test\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40214\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":40215,"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/test\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40214\/revisions\/40215"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/test\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=40214"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/test\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=40214"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/test\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=40214"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
