Their prime time was long ago and now, they are trying in vain to regain that position. Meanwhile, Google is still a newbie\u00a0in smartphone manufacturing, compared to big brands like Apple, Samsung, etc. Being the creator of the most popular smartphone OS &#8211; Android, doesn&#8217;t seem to fulfill their needs. The debut of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.ph\/blog\/google-pixel-and-pixel-xl-official\/\" target=\"_blank\">Google Pixel and Google Pixel XL<\/a> is a living evidence that Google wants to achieve more than that: being an independent phone manufacturer.<\/p>\n<p>However, there is one thing Google doesn&#8217;t have yet: smartphone manufacturing infrastructure of its own. And that&#8217;s something HTC has already established for a long time. So the situation here is that, HTC is an independent phone manufacturer but desperately needs more capital; meanwhile, Google wants\u00a0to be an independent phone manufacturer and obviously has A LOT money. As a result,\u00a0if Google buy HTC, both of them will benefit.<\/p><div style=\"float: none; display: block; margin: 0 -10px; text-align: center;\"><!-- ph_pricepony_article_incontent_1 -->\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:inline-block;width:336px;height:280px\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4796993490224996\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"7528541080\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script>\n<!-- ph_pricepony_article_incontent_2 -->\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:inline-block;width:336px;height:280px\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4796993490224996\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"2964262507\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script>\n<\/div><\/p>\n<p><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/google-buy-htc-1-e1475744353965.webp \"  type=\"image\/webp\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/google-buy-htc-1-e1475744353965.jpg\" height=\"250\" width=\"436\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-27886 sp-no-webp\" alt=\"google buy htc (1)\" decoding=\"async\"  > <\/picture><\/p>\n<p>Then why HTC but not any other manufacturers?\u00a0HTC is one of the few brands that have cooperated with Google before, so they have experience in working together. While Huawei &#8211; a previous Google&#8217;s cooperator &#8211; is currently very successful in the market, HTC is struggling. As a result, buying HTC will cost much less money than buying Huawei or other brands. Moreover, though being not successful in today&#8217;s market, HTC is still a respected name and its fan base is still big.<\/p>\n<h3>Google buy HTC &#8211; the conclusion<\/h3>\n<p>So overall, if Google buy HTC, the cooperation will benefit both of them. Google will officially enter the world of smartphone manufacturers while HTC will have more chances and money to regain its spotlight in the market. What do you think about this cooperation?<\/p>\n<div class=\"31e97817518902a1d132cf665aa26f91\" data-index=\"3\" style=\"float: none; margin:10px 0 10px 0; text-align:center;\">\n<!-- ph_pricepony_article_bottom -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:inline-block;width:336px;height:280px\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4796993490224996\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7613953952\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\r\n\n<\/div>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today we will talk about something bigger than smartphones: smartphone companies.
