HTC to Make Waterproof Extreme Sports Camera

Sales are declining, Samsung and Apple have taken the most of the cellphone market share. How to survive in the market? How to come back in the competition, with the record of past 3 years with reducing sales?? Create something new and diversify the operation. This is what HTC thought and now is rumored to be working on a 16 – Megapixel sports underwater camera. Not to forget the already established GoPro in this underwater business. HTC is entering a new market, with less competitors and thinking to expand its operations.

The ‘camera’ will be tube shaped, supporting both Android as well as iOS and can be connected through Wi-Fi as well as Bluetooth. The camera is also expected to be suitable for rugged areas and featuring a strong solid body. With this camera HTC is forecasting to gain $244.6 million as revenue, giving GoPro serious and tough competition. HTC’s official latest attempt was the flagship smartphone M8, which offered more than one operating system. GoPro recently released 12 megapixel Hero3+’s however ended up making losses with revenue as little as $19.8 million. GoPro now decides to launch a new Hero4+’s featuring higher performance, better megapixels and much more. This increased competition might result in small companies entering this market and infiltrating it.

Any official announcement has not been made yet by HTC, but these details were given out by a person, who chose to stay anonymous. However HTC is expected to carry an event on Oct. 8 in which the camera will be released along with a new smartphone, suitable for taking selfies at the very same event, it is expected to take place somewhere in New York or California. For now we can only wait until an event takes place or any official announcements are made by HTC.

When I was younger I used to spend almost all of my free time playing computer games. My mom and dad would go mental over this. “You’re never going to do anything with your life if you are going to play games all day” they used to say. What was even more unusual was the fact that I played more games than most of the guys in my friend group. Looking back, I have to admit that I probably played a bit too much, but I also learned a lot of great things. When I turned 20 I decided that it was high-time to make some money of my own, but the only jobs I could get were that of waitress or cashier. How exciting. After several excruciating months of serving tables I had a great idea: since I love gaming so much, why don’t I write about it? That’s when I started doing small writing projects on Elance. Eventually, I got an offer for a part-time job. During that time I learned all about content marketing strategies and how search engines work. I started writing about various topics such as technology, health and lifestyle and discovered that I was actually good at it. On November 24, 2014, I became part of the ArgyllFreePress team.
