In 2009, there was no smartphone maker that could compete with HTC. But its hegemony didn’t last long. The next year, there was another king in the Android smartphone market, Samsung. Since then, this manufacturer has been going down a dark hole. Well, in the past two years, we haven’t seen any new smartphones coming our way from this manufacturer. And today, it quietly released a new model dubbed the HTC Desire 22 Pro.
