Google will present the new Google Pixel 5 on October 2. Apparently, one of the smartphones would be manufactured by HTC, although it would be sold as a Google mobile, just as it happened in the case of the original Google Pixel. However, it is now claimed that Google could buy HTC's mobile division.
Google could buy HTC
Until last year, the mobiles that Google had presented were all smartphones from the Nexus program, which were manufactured and marketed by different manufacturers, although they received updates from Google. However, in 2016 the Google Pixel were presented, smartphones that were no longer Nexus mobiles, but were Google smartphones. In fact, we know that it was a mobile made by HTC, but the truth is that at no time does the manufacturer's name appear referenced on the smartphone's casing, nor did Google announce that HTC was the manufacturer. It was just a Google mobile.
The same will happen in the case of the new Google Pixel 2. It would present a Google Pixel 2, and a Google Pixel 2 XL. The Google Pixel 2 would be manufactured by HTC, and the Google Pixel 2 XL would be manufactured by LG.
However, it is claimed that Google could buy HTC. The mobile manufacturer increasingly sells fewer units, and loses more money. Some time ago there was talk that they could close. On several occasions there has been talk of trying to resuscitate the company, but the truth is that it is most likely that HTC will never be able to improve sales in a market that has changed, and in which only the cheapest mobile phones and mobile phones seem to survive. high-end smartphones on the market.
If Google bought HTC's mobile division, it would go on to become a smartphone maker. It may not present many smartphones per year, but there would be the possibility that not only high-end phones would be presented, but also new mid-range and entry-level Google Pixel smartphones.
