The culprit for this, says Cliff Maldonado analyst at Baystreet research, lack of sales resources for the company’s restructuring. For now, there is no mention any restrictions for the European market.
We already know that the Taiwanese company in a big restructuring, so that will have to rely on the current sales force. No, they do not include expansion into the US market, at least not in the way they had planned. In other words, because of these restrictions could happen to the company’s new flagship HTC 11 (which we reported earlier), does not appear in sales in the United States.
The first is this wrong thought on telecom and other official channels. But it is not just a matter of selling but also technical and service support without that HTC does not want to go to the US market. No doubt that will be sold by some web shops or that Americans buy the device outside your home country but in this case the problem of warranty and service.
Why mention this? In fact, you also know how and in Europe and other neighboring countries buying through foreign webshop has become very common. But one thing is to buy a mid-class and cheap, but if the “roared” a lot less damage, and easier to buy another. The second is to buy a device over $ 600, if it breaks down then you throw a lot of money. Warranty and then, of course, there is, but it can be time-consuming. Also, I should mention how expensive devices are not immune to failures. Indeed, unofficially will tell you how many famous expensive smartphones regularly bleed and Croatia, are full of them services, shocked to find out when the which models and manufacturers word. We’ll maybe one more detail next year.
The same analyst forecasts to HTC could change their operations in the Original Design Manufacturer (ODM) that produce smartphones for other companies, such as, Google, and their Pixel and Pixel XL models.
So, for all these reasons the US the market could lose new flagship HTC 11. Too bad, because it announced a beast of smartphones – 5.5-inch QHD screen almost borderless, 8-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 processor, up to 8 GB of RAM and 256 MB of internal memory. Front camera should have 8 MP rear is double than 2x 12 MP, the battery of 3700 mAh with fast charging (Qualcomm Quick Charge 4.0), and will work on Android 7.0 operating system Nougat.
