Lately, HTC is trying hard to arrest it's slide in the global smartphone market. According to recent report of 2012(Q4) global smartphone market, the company no longer features in list of the top five smartphone makers. Apart from table toppers Samsung and Apple, the other three spots are facing stiff competition between Nokia, BlackBerry, Sony, LG and HTC. With the emergence of three Chinese firms - Lenovo, ZTE and Huawei - the fight for market share has now turned fiercer.
HTC is now following the footsteps of other technology giants such as Apple, Microsoft and Samsung to host its very own launch event to gain individual but more extensive attention.
HTC's London event is set to kick-off at 3:00 pm, 19 February, almost a week ahead of the international mobile convention MWC (Mobile World Convention) 2013 which is scheduled on 25 February in Barcelona.
