If Nothing can start from nothing and become something, I think HTC could come back again.
They always made great phones. Just made some dumb decisions along the way and didn't keep up with the trends like the other guys did. I still have HTC phones that would boot up and be usable even though they're years old. That's much more than I can say for some Samsung and other phones I've had over the years.
HTC's upcoming addition to its U series of smartphones is tipped to launch with what might be the highest-end collection of specs the once-iconic Android brand has gotten together as of late. Then again, they are still distinctly sub-flagship in nature, depicted as packing a Qualcomm Snapdragon 7-series chipset and a relatively pedestrian battery capacity into an arguably last-gen build.
