Taiwanese smartphone maker HTC
announced it expects to see its sales rise by nearly 50 percent over the next three months thanks to strong demand for Android phones.
HTC, the Taiwanese smartphone maker, on Wednesday said it would aggressively expand sales of its smartphones on the back of the growing popularity of Google's Android operating system.
The group plans to increase shipments by nearly 50 per cent over the next three months, from 3.3m handsets in the first quarter to 4.5m in the second quarter, as a number of its new phone models begin to reach consumers.
Cheng Hui-ming, chief financial officer, said these numbers “indicate the growing popularity of the Android platform in Europe and the US”.
