Taiwanese mobile phone manufacturer HTC has continued to experience a downward spiral in its market share in the past two years and that has resulted in a reduction in the number of models the tech company churns out each month. However, the month of June 2020 seems to be a good one for the company as it recorded a substantial growth in its revenue occasioned by the Desire 20 Pro released mid-June.

HTC’s revenue jumped by 63.5% last month as it reached NT$649 million. This is said to be NT$250 million more than its revenue in May. This happens to be the company’s highest revenue recorded this year.

The Desire 20 Pro responsible for the surge in revenue was launched on June 16. The phone is a 4G phone equipped with a 6.5-inch punch-hole display. It is powered by a  Snapdragon 665 processor paired with 6GB of RAM and there is 128GB of storage onboard. The phone also packs a quad-camera setup with a 48-megapixel main. It is priced at NT$ 8990 and is available in HTC’s home market.

HTC’s revenue is also expected to remain strong in the next few months as the new U20 5G is billed to go on pre-sale from July 1-31st and on sale in August. The phone which is the brand’s first 5G phone features a 6.8-inch punch-hole display with a quad-camera setup and rear-fingerprint sensor. It is powered by a Snapdragon 765G SoC with 8GB RAM and 256GB ROM. There is equally a huge 5000mAh  and support for 18W fast charging. It is priced at 18990 NTD (about 4539).
