This company\u00a0is not even listed in the top 5 market share in many key markets.\u00a0According to IDC statistics, in the past 4 years, the sales of HTC decreased by about 18% each year. To be fair, HTC still has very good products, such as HTC 10, which is considered an Android masterpiece.\u00a0However, many other Chinese brands are occupying the mobile market such as\u00a0Oppo, Huawei, Meizu, Xiaomi.<\/p>\n<p>In the context of decreasing sales, HTC needs a change. The policy of &#8220;austerity&#8221; by Cher Wang is currently keeping HTC moribund. It really needs\u00a0to do something crazy and more breakthroughs, even willing to put aside the image of high-end producer\u00a0in the user&#8217;s mind to approach\u00a0new customers.\u00a0According to IDC, 540 million people worldwide have bought feature\u00a0phones in 2015, most of whom will buy smartphones in the future. This is a &#8220;blue ocean&#8221; for both HTC and Nokia.<\/p><div style=\"float: none; display: block; margin: 0 -10px; text-align: center;\"><!-- MY End of Content -->\n            <ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n                 style=\"display:inline-block;width:300px;height:250px\"\n                 data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4796993490224996\"\n                 data-ad-slot=\"7887885268\"><\/ins>\n            <script>(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});<\/script>\n            <!-- MY News Mobile Middle -->\n                                <ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n                                     style=\"display:inline-block;width:300px;height:250px\"\n                                     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4796993490224996\"\n                                     data-ad-slot=\"3890141663\"><\/ins>\n                                <script>\n                                (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n                                <\/script><\/div><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-34173\" src=\"http:\/\/www.pricepony.com.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/^BC08033B547F84E6FEADB8442696BBC84E96D35B90E6C5720E^pimgpsh_fullsize_distr-1.jpg\" alt=\"HTC needs Nokia\" width=\"479\" height=\"250\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/^BC08033B547F84E6FEADB8442696BBC84E96D35B90E6C5720E^pimgpsh_fullsize_distr-1.jpg 588w, https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/^BC08033B547F84E6FEADB8442696BBC84E96D35B90E6C5720E^pimgpsh_fullsize_distr-1-300x157.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 479px) 100vw, 479px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Current President of HMD Global, Florian Seiche, &#8220;the old man&#8221; of HTC, is holding the opportunity to revive Nokia phone brand, with a new direction: to focus on the developing countries, where many feature phone users are in demand of their first smartphone.\u00a0Tim Culpan, the writer of Bloomberg, suggested that Cher Wang should pick up the phone and call Florian Seiche to co-operate with\u00a0Nokia and share the potential smartphone market.<\/p>\n<h3>Does HTC really need to co-operate with Nokia?<\/h3>\n<p>This Taiwanese phone company is known for its high-end smartphones.
