A HTC has become one of the leading names in the virtual reality segment with the launch of HTC Vive. Now the company plans to launch a new VR device for Smartphones.
In the opinion of many, the HTC Vive virtual reality glasses are the ones that guarantee a better immersive experience due to the support of large-scale experiences from day one. HTC therefore seems ready to respond to a different market segment than the one the Vives are targeting.
According to the company's chief financial officer, Chia-lin Chang, “Vive is top of the range and in the coming months we will have new plans for mobility and virtual reality and will not be a smartphone embedded in a headset. It will be a different thing".

Although it has already been confirmed that it will be compatible with the brand's latest smartphone, the HTC U, it remains to be seen whether HTC's proposal will be a direct response to the Google, Samsung e Alcatel, or whether it will be a mid-range bet.
In addition to increased mobility, these projects will also mean a reduction in prices for HTC's virtual reality equipment.
