As HTC smart phone sales drop dramatically, the company needs something to save their brand. Only a flagship that stands out and meets many requirements from users can do it. Therefore, just earlier today, HTC announces their next high end device – HTC O2. However, what makes this phone special?

According to many Chinese sources, HTC O2 display is a huge 2K. This means HTC O2 will join the QHD team upon release. The display is a 6’’ screen, thus the pixel density will be 490ppi. Moreover, with this device, HTC may change their flagship series name. Maybe the brand just does not think One series will make it.

HTC O2 sounds fresher, since everyone needs O2 to live

The Taiwanese manufacturer also equips a lot of new, most powerful hardware for HTC O2 specs. HTC O2 will probably sport Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 & Hydra quad core, which will be shipped at the end of this year. However, as the device is rumored to be out in October, this might not be the most reliable specs. Additionally, HTC O2 will be equipped with an Adreno 530 for its GPU.

The phone also has a 4GB RAM with 64 or 128Gb internal storage. HTC O2 battery is 3500mAH, which is quite impressive.

HTC O2 camera is a massive 21MP sensor on the back. With this camera, HTC O2 can be on spar with the Xperia series or other high end flagships from bigger brands. However, the front sensor is only 5MP, which is not quite appealing to selfie lovers. Even mid range phones have at least 8MP for front camera.

What’s even more interesting is that HTC O2 will have an IP certificate. This means there will be waterproof and dustproof features for the first time on an HTC phone.

This Taiwanese brand is quite popular even in Philippines. However, as their sales keep dropping, will HTC O2 save the entire brand name? Hopefully, when HTC O2 releases in Philippines, it will make a big boom. Since HTC One M9 costs around 27k right now, so HTC O2 price in Philippines will be likely around PHP 30k to 40k.
