HTC returns to phones with VR-focused Desire
There’s one more phone maker back making phones, as HTC makes its return, but the focus isn’t exactly on the high-end.

Virtual reality’s second revolution isn’t going anywhere, and now that it’s beginning to take off, HTC is doubling down with two options.
The first day of CES packed into five minutes, with news from Samsung, Sony, LG, Intel, Hisense, TCL, and HTC. It’s The Wrap, and it’s live from Vegas.
No one likes being stuck to their computer, and VR tends to come with that caveat, but this year, things will change.
HTC’s virtual reality “Vive” system gets all the attention because of how it lets you move in the real world, but it still keeps you tethered with a cable. But with Focus, the company plans to change things.
Both Google Earth and Google StreetView changed the world when it was released, but if you have a VR headset, you can even get closer.
Virtual reality already has a high cost of entry, but HTC is hoping a move to make the Vive less expensive helps. Will it?
HTC makes one of the better VR headsets in the HTC Vive, but it hasn’t crossed over into the world of portable virtual reality for some reason, but an announcement in Japan could change that shortly.
Hooray for superfluous days of recognition, because that’s what April 5 is, unless you’ve been hankering to go out and buy one of HTC’s Vive VR headsets.
