HTC

HTC Corp., (Taiex: 2498) mainly produces powerful handheld devices, and continues to expand innovative fields to lead users to experience real freedom of movement.

The company was founded in 1997 by Chairman Wang Xuehong, Director and Chairman of Hongda Foundation Zhuo Huotu, and General Manager and CEO Zhou Yongming. Over the years, HTC has worked quietly behind the world's well-known communication manufacturers, so that the products of these well-known manufacturers can shine and heat in the world market. HTC has established a unique cooperative relationship with major mobile device brands, including five leading telecom companies in Europe, four largest telecom companies in the United States, and many fast-growing telecom companies in Asia. At the same time, HTC has also introduced its products to the market through leading OEM partners, and has developed its own HTC brand since June 26.

HTC is one of the fastest growing enterprises in the mobile device industry, and it has won the recognition of consumers in the past few years. American Business Week even named HTC as the second best performing technology company in Asia in 27, and in 26, it was ranked as the third best technology company in the world.

HTC is an international foundry, and its sales customers focus on the whole world. At present, there are many known ones, including:

domestic DOPOD: generally 6 series and 5 series.

Hong Kong's QteK: The name is strange, called QteK 77,88, etc., but its distribution quantity is small.

British O2 Telecom: China and Hong Kong have been colonized by Britain for 1 years, and the British commercial tentacles are deep, so O2 is also very popular in Hong Kong, where you can easily buy O2 series, which can be divided into several generations of XDA descendants.

French Orange: Hongkong Li Ka-shing Investment Holdings is the major shareholder. According to legend, Orange has set off a storm of "Join my network and give you a mobile phone". Every quarter, there are new policies, the price of network (including communication) keeps falling, and the fourteen-day machine keeps coming, which has driven other foreign network operators to join the donation, and the fourteen-day machine (called 14 Days Return in English) will arrive in 23. What is the concept of 23? Orange was acquired by Lee! Orange actually has its own characteristics, and the overall image packaging is excellent: his machine packaging is all black, while the box is marked with the word Orange. All of them are named SPV, which is divided into SPV E series and SPV M series.

German T-Mobile: Germany as the source, across Europe and North America, and AT&; T has played several times in North America, and the outcome is inseparable. Its model number is marked by MDA and MDAII. The network operators are also very personality. For example, O2, Qtek and DOPOD all directly put a LOGO on HTC products, and sell them as a package. Germans always like to design their own shells and change their shapes slightly. In fact, the board is still the same board, and nothing has changed inside.

north American at&; T: The OEM products of this company are rarely exported to mainland China, and the relatively large quantity is SX56 (dopod 686).

In fact, there are many brands that have strategic cooperation with HTC, but it is said that Orange is HTC's best partner. With new models, it always guarantees the supply and support for Orange.

Memorabilia

Not long after the difference with Hero, HTC has introduced a low-priced machine HTC tattoo, which is G4.

The CPU,WIFI,GPS,WCDMA/GSM of this machine still follow the high match of the predecessors, and FM function is added for the first time, but Touch Window and LCM adopt the same low-end material as Htc 3G, and the price is less than half of Hero's, which also shows that the high-end intelligent HTC doesn't want to be high and low, and is ready to take some civilian routes.

November p>29-HTC released the latest upgraded version of its flagship model HD, HTC HD2[4], which uses a 1GHz CPU and capacitive touch screen, pushing the hardware configuration of WM mobile phone to a new height.

the relationship between p>HTC and Dopod

whenever people talk about PPC or smartphone, people always think of dopod first. Yes, dopod's influence on people in both the PPC field and the smartphone field is very profound, because dopod has been focusing on making smart phones.

friends who are concerned about parallel mobile phones may have noticed that there are always many different models of the same product in dopod, such as O2 version, T-Mobile version, VODAFONE version, etc. Therefore, many netizens have caused an argument, saying that dopod is an OEM of foreign mobile phones and does not produce mobile phones.

In fact, in the early days of dopod's establishment, it was indeed "branded" goods, and it was sold under the CECT brand, which made people misunderstand that dopod was an out-and-out branded product. I have indeed heard in the market that when consumers buy dopod products, they ask why there is a CECT logo on dopod's mobile phone. Is dopod made by CECT? Under the various explanations of sales, users are still not at ease, and it is even more incomprehensible and unacceptable to CECT. After all, they spent a high price to buy dopod.

So is dopod an OEM? Among the smart phone users in dopod, only a few really know about mobile phones and dopod's mobile phones. (The dopod smartphone users here refer to the dopod series of mobile phones, including the customized versions of parallel imports by foreign operators.) Actually, the understanding of these friends is wrong. It's a long story about dopod mobile phones, but it's not difficult to figure out what's going on. I can definitely tell you here that dopod is an OEM, but it is the "brand" of its own home.

You can do a very simple test and ask your friends four questions. 1. Who made the mobile phone in dopod? Second, what is the relationship between dopod and HTC? 3. What is the relationship between dopod and CECT? 4. What is the relationship between customized mobile phones of foreign operators and dopod? After the four questions, we can basically know that many people know little about smart phones based on dopod! Speaking of dopod, it reminds people of some history of dopod. Some people say that dopod is a brand of Taiwan Province, while others say that dopod is a pure domestic brand. Which is correct?

dopod International Co., Ltd. was established on July 1, 22. It was jointly funded by Taiwan Province Hongda and VIA Electronics, with Wang Xuehong of HTC as the chairman. In order to avoid HTC's dual role of OEM and independent brand, the chairman of the board was later changed to Ding Xiufeng, the supervisor of VIA. Dopod International Co., Ltd. is headquartered in Taiwan Province, China, and its factory is in Hsinchu, Taiwan Province. Dopod International Co., Ltd. is mainly engaged in product design (PPC phone, PDA), marketing, business and customer service of mobile phones and handheld devices, and its business covers Taiwan Province, China, Chinese mainland, China, Hong Kong and Southeast Asia.

besides dopod international co., ltd, there is also a dopod. Dopod Communication Co., Ltd. is a high-tech company founded by Yang Xingping, a doctor studying in the United States (also known as the father of dopod), and a joint venture between China Electronics Group Corporation (CECT) and overseas. The company is headquartered in Shanghai and its production base is located in Wuhan. The business scope of dopod Communication Co., Ltd. is mainly concentrated in mainland China. The licensed dopod mobile phone we usually refer to is from dopod Communication Co., Ltd., with the trademark "DOPOD" and the homonym is "dopod".

dopod Communication Co., Ltd. didn't have its own mobile phone license in China in the early days, so all the products sold at that time were marked with CECT's license, so many people mistakenly thought that dopod was a brand owned by CECT at that time. In fact, dopod and CECT were just cooperative relations. Subsequently, dopod obtained a domestic mobile phone license and officially sold dopod's own brand of smart phone products. In fact, everyone has found that there are almost no mobile phone counters in dopod in major mobile phone stores, and dopod's mobile phone is rarely seen in the stores. In fact, this has a great relationship with dopod's sales strategy.

Why can't you buy dopod's mobile phone in the market? This will be explained in more detail later. There are two dopod companies mentioned above, one is dopod International Co., Ltd. and the other is dopod Communication Co., Ltd. Dopod International Co., Ltd. is headquartered in Taiwan Province and its factory is in Hsinchu, Taiwan Province; Dopod Communication Co., Ltd. is headquartered in Shanghai and its factory is in Wuhan. The short answer is that "dopod International Co., Ltd." is responsible for the business in the Asia-Pacific region and "dopod Communication Co., Ltd." is responsible for the business in Chinese mainland. The former has been acquired by Taiwan Province HTC. Dopod companies mentioned now mostly refer to dopod Communication Co., Ltd. In particular, dopod is not a subsidiary of HTC or its own brand. HTC, on the other hand, is an ODM(Original Design Manufacturer) manufacturer in Taiwan Province, which designs its own products and brands other brands. HTC appears as a mobile phone agent in dopod, and even when opening some engineering prototypes in dopod, it can clearly see the HTC logo on the screen. Dopod has always claimed to be an integrator since its early days-the operating system is Microsoft's, the core processing chip comes from Intel, the design and processing depend on Taiwan Province Hongda, and the production license comes from CECT (China Electronics Group).

HTC mainly focuses on OEM, making customized mobile phones for major operators in Europe and America, and its own products are not sold to the outside world. HTC owns two companies, dopod and dopod International. In order to make the two "dopod" of its own family survive in the fierce competition, HTC has also taken some powerful protection measures for them. Dopod's factory in Wuhan is mainly composed of parts and components, and the main parts of the machine are mainly purchased from the home. The home here is naturally HTC. In fact, from design to production, HTC is responsible for most of them. At the same time, this also explains why we often mention HTC in some reviews. In fact, HTC XXX is the original model. Because it is customized for different operators, the machine models that finally arrive at operators are named differently.

for a simple example, the original model of dopod D9 and HTC is Universal, while the customized model of O2 is XDA Exec, the customized model of T-Mobile is MDA IV, and the customized model of Orange is SPV M5. Although the final names are different, they are actually the same thing. In addition, on the same basis, HTC will also make minor adjustments according to the requirements of operators, such as configuration adjustment and design adjustment. A typical example is dopod 838. The shell of VODAFONE version is square, while the T-Mbolie version is somewhat streamlined. In the eyes of many people, dopod's PPC smart phone is very awesome. In fact, it is not a dopod cow, but its owner, HTC. In fact, there are not many manufacturers of PPC and PDA in the world. 7% of the smartphones (including PPC and Smartphone) using Windows Mobile system in the world are from Taiwan Province, mainly HTC and MiTAC. They all started OEM from the iPAQ era and mastered some technologies.

HTC was authorized by Microsoft Windows CE at the beginning of its establishment, and then exhibited the world's first WIN CE handheld computer at the CES exhibition in the United States, which was highly recognized by Microsoft and the cooperation between them was further strengthened. Now HTC is the main customer of Windows Mobile, monopolizing 8% of the market share of Windows Mobile phones. As mentioned earlier, HTC, an ODM(Original Design Manufacturer, designs its own products and brands other brands) manufacturer, specializes in producing branded smart phones for European operators. We commonly have French Orange, British O2, German T-Mobile, etc., but in fact, HTC's customers are far more than those mentioned above.

HTC is the world's largest PPC foundry. Because there are too many manufacturers or operators that HTC has given to OEMs, it is inconvenient to list them one by one.
