hardware business, including smartphones and VR devices. So, in the agreement
this time Google is entitled to several teams from HTC previously trusted to
develop a smartphone owned by Google, namely Pixel. Even Google is also
entitled to a number of HTC's non-proprietary licenses.
With HTC's proprietary hardware business, this step will
further smooth Google's plan to develop "Made by Google devices like
Android Pixel and Pixel XL smartphones, Google Home, DayDream VR Headset and
Chromecast.
However, this acquisition does not mean that in the near
future there will be no more smartphones from the HTC brand. Although already
acquired, but the smartphone business branded HTC will continue to run,
although it could be a smartphone that will be launched next will be the latest
HTC branded smartphone.
Although not yet known to be what the smartphone will be
launched by HTC, but the presence of Google in the hardware business HTC will
give its own impression for the next HTC smartphone. In addition, Google is
also considered to be a fresh breeze for corporate finance, because for some
time past the company continues to lose money.
