HTC banks on 4G to strengthen foothold in India

Taiwanese handset maker HTC is betting big on 4G in India, lining up devices across price points, as part of its efforts to strengthen position in the domestic market. The company on Thursday unveiled a slew of smartphones here priced Rs.13,990 onwards and also introduced its flagship HTC 10 for Rs.52,990. “We didn’t have a strong 4G portfolio and we lost some ground in the last 12 months. And the market moved to 4G pretty fast. Now, we have a stronger portfolio and all our phones are 4G-enabled, most are VoLTE compatible as well,” HTC President South Asia Faisal Siddiqui told PTI.
