HTC has become a bit player in the global smartphone space since selling the bulk of its phone business to Google in 2017 (and arguably for a few years before that). But the company continues to crank out new phones from time to time. And now HTC has unveiled two new smartphones including the company’s […]

Lilbits 6-11-2020: Game Streaming expansion
Google’s Stadia game streaming platform officially works with computers, Chromecast Ultra media streamers, and a limited number of recent Android phones. But now Google has added beta/experimental support for just about any recent Android device which could turn the device already in your pocket into a game console. Stadia for phones also now includes support for […]
Lilbits 5-27-2020: Device shipments dropping
With the global economy in a bit of a shaky state as countries around the world respond to the COVID-19 pandemic, it’s probably no surprise that Gartner is predicting a significant drop in PC, tablet, and mobile phone shipments for 2020. What is a little surprise is that the dip is only expected to be 13.6 […]
Lilbits 381: Microsoft Defender ATP for Linux, Android, and iOS
Windows has long dominated the desktop and laptop computer space, but Microsoft has all-but given up on getting Windows onto smartphones. So the company has instead shifted its focus in an effort to get you to use its apps and services on your Android, iOS, or even Linux devices. Heck, the company is even planning to […]
HTC Desire 19s is an inexpensive triple-camera smartphone
Despite selling much of its smartphone team to Google a few years ago, Taiwanese device maker HTC has continued building phones… particularly weird ones like the HTC Exodus line of blockchain smartphones. The new HTC Desire 19s is little less weird… unless you consider the fact that HTC is still in the phone business to be […]
HTC reveals specs for its cheap blockchain phone
HTC has become a bit player in the smartphone space in recent years, but the company is trying to carve out an unusual niche for itself by releasing a series of blockchain phones. Last year’s HTC Exodus 1 is a $699 smartphone that can double as a cryptocurrency wallet and function as a full node. […]
HTC Wildfire X launches in India (isn’t actually made by HTC)
Taiwanese device maker HTC has largely become a shadow of its former self since selling most of its smartphone division to Google (and arguably for several years before that). So at first glance it might be a little surprising to see a new HTC smartphone launching in India this week. But as xda-developers points out, […]
HTC launches two new mid-range phones… is apparently still making phone
HTC may have sold a significant portion of its smartphone business to Google a few years ago, but the company still seems to be producing new phones… and not just niche models like the HTC Exodus line of blockchain phones. The HTC U19e is a smartphone with a 6 inch, 2160 x 1080 pixel OLED display, […]
HTC Exodus 1s coming in Q3, 2019 (A cheaper blockchain phone)
As expected, HTC is doubling down on the idea of blockchain smartphones… but it turns out the company’s next phone isn’t so much a follow-up to last year’s HTC Exodus 1 as it is a cheaper alternative. HTC has announced that the Exodus 1s will be available in the third quarter of 2019 and it’s expected […]
HTC’s second blockchain phone is coming this year
HTC isn’t the major player in the smartphone space it once was, but the company did release one of the more unusual phones of 2018 — the HTC Exodus 1. It’s an Android phone with built-in blockchain hardware and software, allowing you to use it as a cryptocurrency wallet and support for decentralized “web 3.0” […]
HTC 5G Hub is a mobile hotspot, battery, and Android entertainment device
HTC didn’t bring any new smartphones to Mobile World Congress this year. But the company is jumping on the 5G bandwagon with a new multi-function device that… does a lot of things, honestly. At it’s most basic level, the HTC 5G Hub is a hotspot/router/hub that you can use to connect up to 20 users […]
Lilbits 344: Winter… I mean Black Friday is coming
Singles Day has come and gone (although some sales live on). But Black Friday is just under two weeks away. Best Buy, Walmart, HP, and Samsung have revealed some of their sale prices over the past few days, and I’m continually updating Liliputing’s Black Friday mobile tech deals page with the latest bargains. There are […]
