​HTC Revenue Falls for the 4th Quarter in a Row

HTC Corporation reported a 64 percent dive in revenue for the first quarter, contracting from $1.3 billion in 2015 to a dismal $456 million. Q1 profit also plunged by a staggering 78 percent from last year's $250 million to $60 million. HTC is struggling to restore its share in the cut throat Android market, which has now shriveled to 1 percent. Its net loss totaled to $80 million in three months. Sales results of its new smartphone HTC 10 and virtual reality device Vive were not yet counted. However, 11 days after the pre-sales opened in China, only 251 units of HTC 10 were pre-ordered. This shows that HTC is losing against major competitors Apple and Samsung in the world's the largest smartphone market.
