HTC just released a nice Lil $600 phone with a headphone jack and a microSD card slot. Think I’d rather have that.

The U24 pro, although that one isn’t that little (6.8")

Look closer. There are no dates anywhere. Also this paragraph:
If Apple kills the Mini, those people will need a new home. An Android phone (with Beeper for iMessage) might be an adequate alternative.
Makes it abundantly clear it was forgotten about years ago.

Shit I didn’t know HTC were making phones still! Some fond memories for many phones during the early years.

It’s their first one in ages. They’re trying to re-enter the market. The hardware is pretty good. Not the most cutting edge, but you get the headphone jack and a microsd card slot back, and at $600 it’s way better than the $1,200 bullshit samsung and apple have been trying to shill.

Thanks.
If they embraced the mod community it could be a semi-official pixel replacement. They were always pretty good among oems about low bloat, if they just threw out stock and made only unlocked phones, could even have custom toms pre installed as an option if they really wanted to shake up the market. On of the costs for oems was supporting software updates that fit their bloat into the new android versions–they were always behind Google which was one of the original value propositions for Nexus line before Pixel. With Google going full Evil, there is a spot for someone else to take up the hardware crown.
