4Q2011: HTC cut sales forecast.

WorldWide Tech & Science. Francisco De Jesús.


One of the largest suppliers of  smartphones in the world, HTC has cut its sales forecast this year and expected to recover in the second half of next 2012.

HTC has cut its earnings forecast for the fourth quarter of 2011 by 23%, expecting these to be $3.4 billion, which equals the previous year.


One reason experts say could be a loyal consumer demand for Apple iPhone and the rise to first place in the world market from Samsung, at least for the third quarter 2011. 



Samsung has reached the level of offering high-performance phones like Galaxy Galaxy S II and Nexus have been stolen from the film to HTC.

For us one of the reasons could also be the continuous bombardment of Androids models  leading to saturate the market to the point that if a consumer decided to purchase a phone  a year ago or not decided  to renew the device for now, but will when his contract for 1 or 2 years is over, or  does  seem enough for now to keep the current phone that gives you everything you need without having to get excited by the arrival of a new model almost exactly the same but with more power of processing speed and dual-core or quad-core, 1GB RAM and 4G LTE.


If in the case of Androids vast majority of previous models to those of today may be updated to the new Ice Cream Sandwich (Android 4.0) probably will not see the need to buy a quad-core phone, 4GLTE, at least until the 3G service operators keep it  working.


Also remains concerned about global macroeconomic recession that continues still and also affect any outcome.
