It hasn\u2019t released a competitive flagship device in years, but HTC\u2019s smartphone division isn\u2019t throwing in the towel just yet. Today it announced the HTC Desire 22 Pro<\/a>, a follow-up to last year\u2019s HTC Desire 21 Pro, and the company\u2019s big attempt at capitalizing on the so-called metaverse. In the UK, it\u2019s listed at \u00a3399<\/a> and will ship on August 1st.<\/p>\n

There are a couple of different aspects to the phone\u2019s metaverse functionality. To start with, it\u2019s designed to be the \u201cperfect companion\u201d to HTC\u2019s recently announced Vive Flow VR headset<\/a> and used to access Viverse<\/a>, HTC\u2019s take on the metaverse. The headset is designed to work with any Android phone, though, so it\u2019s not entirely clear what the Desire 22 Pro offers that isn\u2019t available elsewhere. <\/p>\n

There\u2019s also some NFT functionality here, with HTC\u2019s Taiwanese site<\/a> advertising that the phone includes a digital wallet to manage crypto assets, and comes with a free NFT. This appears to vary by market, however, since similar language is not present in the marketing materials on its UK site<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere, the Desire 22 Pro\u2019s specs are thoroughly midrange. It\u2019s got a 6.6-inch 1080p display with a high 120Hz refresh rate, and a hole-punch notch in its top left containing a 32-megapixel selfie camera. Around back there are three rear cameras, a 64-megapixel main camera, a 13-megapixel ultrawide, and a 5-megapixel depth sensor. <\/p>\n

Internally it\u2019s powered by a Snapdragon 695 processor, with 8GB of RAM, 128GB of storage and a 4,520mAh battery. It supports wireless and reverse wireless charging, runs Android 12, and has an IP67 rating for dust and water resistance. The Desire 22 Pro comes in either black or gold.<\/p>\n

The approach is very reminiscent of HTC\u2019s previous blockchain-powered smartphone, the Exodus 1<\/a>, which it released in 2018, and followed up with the more affordable Exodus 1S<\/a> the following year. But neither phone appears to have reversed HTC\u2019s smartphone fortunes. The company\u2019s market share reportedly plummeted to less than half a percent in 2018<\/a>, the same year it sold much of its smartphone talent to Google<\/a>. Nowadays, HTC sells so few smartphones that it doesn\u2019t register on public smartphone<\/a> market<\/a> share<\/a> trackers. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
