Since then, most of its phones have been budget affairs with releases few and far between. For those that cling on to the notion of HTC’s return to glory, we have some (sort of) good news. On Monday we learned HTC wants to go back to making premium handsets.
A new version of this device is available. Check out our review of the Zhiyun Smooth Q3 at the link. Not satisfied with killing off the pocket camera, smartphones are now supplanting some DSLRs as the preferred device for capturing photo and video. For many, the trade-off in size and weight just isn’t justified, especially with recent advances in computational photography. While smartphones typically take great photos these days, there’s still room for improvement where video is concerned.
