Police arrested design bosses HTC for theft and fraud - All About Phones

top designers of phone manufacturer HTC, including the creator of the design of the successful HTC One, were arrested by police in Taiwan. They are suspected of theft and fraud.

Five people were arrested and interrogated. The most important of the five is vice president of product design Thomas Chien. Other suspects are research and development boss Wu Hung Chein and leader of the design team Justin Huang, the creator of the design of the HTC One.

Wu Chien and detained. The other three were released on bail after a first hearing. Their offices have been searched by the police.

The action of the police in the Taiwanese capital Taipei came after a complaint from Chairman Cher Wang of HTC. She has personally filed suit against her five employees, because they had learned that they had committed fraud and the company had stolen.

The quintet was already planning to leave HTC and they were working behind with the creation of their own business on the Chinese mainland. She wanted to leave immediately after receiving their semi-annual bonus at HTC.

However

HTC caught Chien to steal trade secrets. He was secretly all files on future HTC Sense 6.0 design is downloading. He then sent those files to external contacts via email.

In addition, three of the five defendants accused of fraud. They would HTC 334,000 dollars have charged for the design of the aluminum chassis of the HTC One. They claimed that this was devised for this purpose had sent. A bill for $ 334,000 by an external company That was not so, she had conceived the design itself and divided that amount among themselves

I miss absolutely not to be able to change the battery, and an SD card slot I do not miss … What to hell with 92GB storage? And what’s wrong with an external battery pack?

Granted, I would rather have had in my 64GB device, but at the moment is not my full 32GB. Videos and pictures I save over time on my PC and mirror to my own servers (webdav sync) and that saves a lot of space. I do not really 24/7/365 wherever I am of little video to see. “That one day with the family” And should it really necessary then I can just stream it
short. Die 32GB is more than enough for me at the moment and I do not see what an SD card lock well as huge ridiculous add
It will be a matter of taste though, but I think it’s really something to Tweakers per se, but I will never understand why.
The only advantage that the bidding is if you never make a backup and you phone goes rotten. But hey, if you damaged SD card, you also lose all your shit.

And a replaceable battery …?
Meh, he’s in the phone processed so there is just 2 years warranty . (Only if it is user replaceable, they may be less than the war ranty on that as an “accessory” is.) The battery One is powerful and just helps me through the day. And otherwise … Do I always have my external battery pack that I can use for both my phone and my ultrabook (loading 8x phone, or 6 ~ 8 hours the laptop with power + battery charging them simultaneously), so I’d rather take an extra battery …

Really, I do not see what people all the time to sit here whining about that SD card lock and battery, I believe that 95% of users there really shit on … Anyway, who am I, it remains a matter of taste.

HTC is indeed distinctive way in my opinion. Superior aluminum design, special camera (Sure, zooming is not super, but most of the customers leave, well estimated by HTC, indeed many photographs only on the device or share it on Facebook where each photo *** quality.) With genius software, front-facing speakers with great sound, brilliant software, et cetera.
No, that distinctiveness is it mustache!

That’s not distinctive to your wishes, that’s a another story … But that is simply competition in the market so you can buy what you want elsewhere.

Conclusion

In the telecom sector is the word ‘family’ more often. And no, that’s not because more is chatting about the private lives of those involved, but because smartphones are increasingly part of a line of products with different sizes and price ranges, but which have the same look. Manufacturers like to call it a ‘family’, where a cheaper model so soon a ‘little brother’ is called.

known family in smartphone area is obviously the line of Samsung Galaxy S4, containing, according to the manufacturer, in order of screen sizes from small to large: the Mini S4, S4 Zoom Active S4, S4 and regular Mega 6.3. They all share the same design and many of the same features, though there are major differences between the ‘family’.

HTC also has lines of phones, but they are not really families. There is the Desire series, which has been running since 2010 in the Desire first came out and now is with numbers. The One series with the One X, One S, SV One and One X + are not really family, but with the One and the One mini seems HTC finally a name and design to attract.

equal

One mini is a little bit smaller than the One, but mostly cheaper and stripped of some elements, such as optical image stabilization and the infrared transmitter. It is nevertheless a small One and the unit is worth?

That’s not the only problem. rumored HTC did pretty nice in the past on Windows Phone. The problem is that the Windows Phone pie is not so great, especially compared to Android. Moreover, that cake already largely occupied by Nokia. HTC Windows Phone area would even be overtaken by Samsung and now have less than 5% market share. This need not be a final end but expect a successor to the Windows Phone 8X and 8S not fast.

Review: HTC Mini with slightly modified design - NU.nl

Photo: NU.nl / Joost Nederpelt

The design of the Mini is slightly different from the original One for Nutech was named best smartphone of the moment .

in April

Thus, the cut edge of the One replaced by a type of plastic bumper. That makes for a slightly less luxurious look. The two volume buttons protrude slightly provide a less than impressive finish accurately concealed buttons in the One.

The front is almost identical. The two prominent speakers at the top and bottom of the screen remained and the border around the screen has not become more robust. The difference in size of the phone itself is otherwise very limited, only 0.5 inches in height and width.

the back again is made of brushed aluminum and slightly curved to comfortably in your hand and look beautiful.

Display and sound

The resolution of the screen is cut from full HD (1080 x 1920 pixels) to HD (720 x 1280 pixels). The differences are small, in practice, also because the screen itself is slightly smaller (4.3 to 4.7 inch). When zooming in on text loss in sharpness falls, but with photos and even text on the home screens, it is almost impossible to see.

Furthermore, the white display and brightness slightly less good, but despite the small differences the screen is excellent. The Mini One therefore has a better display than the S4 Mini (review). However, the latter has slightly better viewing angles and colors seem brighter by them to show.

slightly saturated

Camera and battery

HTC One Mini has the same camera as the One. A 4-megapixel model that HTC describes as an ultra pixel camera. By making use of larger pixels using more light is captured and would improve the quality of the pictures must go up. In the dark the Mini One and One therefore relatively good photos.

the phones themselves see the photos often nice, although even then the lack of detail, for example leaves and buildings may fall. On the PC, the details are all at the lower resolution. See photos taken with the Mini on Nutech.

The battery life of the Mini is average and comes with regular use of social media, new apps and e-mail where the screen is often a high brightness about 12 to 14 hours.

Performance

Mini uses a 400 Snapdragon chipset, like the S4 Mini. These chips are slightly less likely than those in the current top models, but the speed is sufficient in practice. The Mini One has no problem with games, videos and the usual or heavy apps.

The Mini has Android 4.2.2 and HTC Sense 5.0. Same software as the One. In appearance Sense is pretty quiet with a clear line in terms of icons. The Blink Feed, a sort of digital magazine with a visual display of messages in selected media, the latest news and updates from social media, the standard home screen.’s This can be disabled, happy because clearly it is not.

Conclusion

Because the Mini (449 Euros MSRP) is a lot cheaper than the One (699 Euros MSRP) there are some concessions. The screen is slightly less good, the chip less rapidly and the housing less well finished. Nevertheless, the performance is sufficient and finish fine.

A full One in a small jacket is unfortunately not and the difference in size is very limited. That does not mean that the HTC One Mini at all levels can come along and an impressive handset is the bottom line. HTC now joins Samsung with a good and relatively small Android device for a lower price. The Mini One and Mini S4 do not for each other.
