Instal the new for android Metaverser12/28/2023 ![]() ![]() Now we've got the Metaverse phone, and by the way, the company has already signaled its next fling will be with augmented reality. 2019 brought the HTC Exodus, a "Blockchain Phone" that could run a full Bitcoin node, a wildly inappropriate use-case for a battery-powered, slow, storage-limited mobile device. In 2017, the company touted AI and machine learning as the future, promising the HTC U Ultra would lead to a total "transformation" of the company. ![]() Lately, what's left of HTC's smartphone division has brought this rudderless buzzword product strategy to smartphones. HTC probably means generic face recognition. HTC's spec sheet curiously also lists "Face ID" as a feature, which is an Apple trademark. It has Android 12, a fingerprint reader, wireless charging, a microSD slot, and an IP67 water-resistance rating, which HTC only describes as "splash proof." For cameras, you have a 65 MP main camera, a 13 MP ultrawide, 5 MP depth sensor, and 32 MP front camera. It has a Snapdragon 695, a 120 Hz, 6.6-inch, 2412×1080 LCD, 8GB of RAM, 128GB of storage, and a 4520 mAh battery. Presumably the buzzword gimmicks are meant as a distraction from the fact that the HTC Desire 22 Pro is a generic-looking mid-range phone. This phone comes with that Vive Flow controller app, but you can install it on any Android phone that supports miracast and get the same features. HTC's latest VR goggles, the Vive Flow, use an Android phone as the controller and can show the phone screen inside the VR environment. It's roughly used to mean "VR-related." The phone itself does not seem to have any actual VR features. ![]() HTC says this phone will somehow help you "enter the metaverse," as "the phone to carry you into the future." The metaverse is the latest tech buzzword companies have been hyping up. The latest from the company is the HTC Desire 22 Pro, a 399 British pound (~$486) mid-ranger that represents the company's first smartphone of 2022. ![]()
