HTC teases upcoming device for November 2 reveal event
July 18, 2025
Despite not having the best year, HTC stayed in the headlines in 2017. It released the beautifulHTC U Ultraearly this year and the impressiveHTC U11a few months after. Unfortunately for the popular Taiwanese manufacturer, things haven’t really panned out like it may have wanted. Despitethe U11 helping it to an 8% year-over-year growth, its profits are still far, far lower than they have been in the past. While some may have thought thatthe sale of part of its mobile division to Googlewould’ve ended its phone manufacturing days, that turned outnot to be the case.

And now, it looks like we’re going to get another new phone in 2017. HTCtook to Twitter today to tease its eventhappening on November 2. It used the tagline “You’ll see it all on 11. 02. 2017” with the picture of a phone with a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner. We can’t glean much from the picture, but the inclusion of a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner is significant. The last time HTCreleased a phone with a rear-mounted sensor was 2013’sOne Max.
