HTC starting to slip?

HTC's growth streak is over: quarterly revenue down 2.5 per cent, profits even worse -- Engadget

I know it's a relative microcosm or the issue, but I saw this coming with the Evo3d. For the first time, both Samsung and Motorola put out clearly superior premium devices in the sprint line up. HTC's still profitable, but momentum once lost is incredibly difficult to regain.

The 3D has nothing to apologize for.

Samsung is a bigger manufacturer, and the lawsuits against the smaller HTC along with Samsung's muscle has definitely put them behind their sales targets for last year, no question.

But compare the 3D screen and benchmarks (and real performance) side by side to the Photon - no way is HTC lagging on quality compared to Motorola. It's quite the opposite.

And the S3 is still the only dual core to run asynchronously. It needs to run at 1.5GHz to exceed the Exynos at 1.2GHz, but it still lasts forever running at speed; and that's the common clock now for newer HTC models.
