HTC is a well-known Taiwanese electronics company and one of the world’s biggest competitors in the mobile phone space. They just announced on Twitter the launch of their latest smartphone – built “for the metaverse and web3”. The phone has been named “Desire 22 Pro” and is being developed specifically for HTC’s Vive Flow VR headset and the company’s virtual world, the Viverse.
HTC has claimed that the device will come with a built-in digital wallet to safely store crypto keys and non-fungible tokens (NFTs) that its users earn in the metaverses that they visit. Other details about the phone include a 6.6-inch full HD display, a mid-range Snapdragon 695 chipset from Qualcomm, a 64-megapixel triple rear camera setup, and support for wireless charging, for a retail price of $399 globally.
Interestingly, this announcement comes just after the Solana network revealed they will be developing their own web3 mobile phone called “Saga”. Their phone will be an Android handset made by Solana Labs. The “Solana Mobile Stack” software was revealed at NFT NYC last week.
