bleh im not talking about htc but i really hate all these underpowered android devices hitting the market every chinese corporation shitting them out devaluing all devices. basically hurts all the decent flagship phones as they also are influenced by this downward spiral.
I like that there are phones coming out at $200-$300 unlocked that provide a good experience. Phones like the Moto G, Asus Zenphone 2, Alcatel Idol 3, and Huawei P8 lite are decent phones that don't cost an arm and a leg. The flagships that are priced above this level should give you better build quality and camera, but if you don't care about that then these get the job done.
Frankly HTC brings nothing to the table that can't be replaced by the likes of Huawei, ZTE, or any other chinese manufacturer. Their differentiating factor is HTC Sense and Boomsound.
