HTC Viverse Phone Specifications
HTC has been quiet about the Viverse phone since it first surfaced in rumors. Following the announcement of its existence, a few HTC product leaks began to surface. The new HTC phone is said to include high-end specifications and capability for 5G. Similarly, a wireless charger from the company with the model 2QBK200 surfaced on a certification website last month. It had a charging speed of 15W. The exact specifications, however, have yet to be revealed.
HTC showcased its new VR experiences at MWC in March and Viverse was announced as the brand to enter the emerging market of ‘metaverse’ and adjacent sectors. It also released the VR-based Vive Browser, Vive Connect for simulated experiences, and the Vivo Guardian VR tool. These tools help parents, guardians, and teachers safeguard minors entering the immersive world.
HTC unveiled the Viverse platform which is described as an open and secure Metaverse platform for HTC’s devices. For years, the company has sold its own VR headsets and smart glasses under the Vive brand. These products are anticipated to work with the Viverse platform as integration. The Viverse platform is described as a hybrid of virtual reality, augmented reality, artificial intelligence, and blockchain technology. 5G is also a big part of the Viverse, according to the brand.
In the coming days, there could be a slew of new details about the upcoming debut. We expect HTC to release a list of specifications and a smartphone portfolio. Details about pricing and availability will also be appreciated.
