If HTC had to choose a best friend based on today’s sales and revenue, we’d imagine that friend would be Google. The world simply can’t get enough of HTC’s Android smartphones as the company sold 9.7 million units in the first quarter alone. The combination of the Inspire 4G, Thunderbolt, EVO Shift 4G, Desire S and Incredible S were consumed with what seemed like an insatiable consumer appetite. To cut to the chase, HTC’s revenues were up 174.5 percent year-on-year.
In order to survive in the world of tech, you need to diversify your products and target the globe. Assuming you’ve accomplished those tasks, with a bit of luck you’ll find strong underlying growth in all regions — this just so happens to be a position enjoyed by HTC. The company sold 9.7 million smartphones in the first quarter of 2011, 192% more than the year-ago quarter, and 6% more than 4Q 2010. Total revenues grew for four consecutive quarters since 1Q 2010 and reached NT$104.16bn in 1Q, up 174.5% year-on-year.
With the Wildfire S, ChaCha, Salsa, Flyer, EVO 3D, and Sensation either released or soon-to-be-released, it looks like the good times will keep on coming for HTC this year. Sometimes taking a risk reeps unprecedented rewards. HTC took that risk when it decided to focus the majority of its business on Android — well done, fine sir.
