Even as Samsung is busy rolling out the Galaxy S8 series globally, HTC is now prepping to launch its flagship next month.
HTC has sent out press invites for its upcoming launch event scheduled on May 16. The event would be held simultaneously in Taipei, New York and London, indicating that the company has something big in store. While the invite does not mention any smartphone, the tease has the caption “Squeeze for the brilliant U”, which hints towards the flagship HTC U.
