Great news for HTC
HTC solves its supply issues, HTC One production will double
The HTC One was announced way back in February with the intention of landing on store shelves before the Samsung Galaxy S4 and thus gaining traction and needed momentum, but supply issues plagued the launch for HTC and it was pushed back. Now, three months after the initial announcement HTC has finally worked out its supply kinks and is ready to double production for its HTC One flagship.
The doubling will happen in May compared to April shipments as component shortages will no longer be an issue.
Not just that production of the HTC One will continue growing in June as well to meet what HTC North Asia president Jack Tong says is “strong demand.”
"Our capacity is expected to rise significantly starting from mid-May. We are optimistic about our high-end sales during April and June," Tong said.
HTC officially confirmed it was having issues with supply for its UltraPixel camera, an unconventional 4-megapixe. sensor that had to be manufactured specifically for HTC as no other company is using it.

But will they sell ?
I already know more people with S4(s) than Ones. In fact I don't know anyone with a One, ive only seen people vaguely using them in places like the cinema.

It's selling fantastically well for them:
HTC One sales are strong: 5 million sold despite supply issues

And it makes reading the following posts quite funny:

Oh please, get real.
HTC's Q1 sales target is half a million. Sony sold more Z's than that in a single WEEK in Japan.
Last year, Xperia S sold a lot more than Htc One X + One S + OneX+ combined. And we all know Xperia S was way behind One X/OneS/One X+ hardware wise. Z and One are not THAT different.
So just like how Sony Xperia Z is no threat to Galaxy S4 in terms of sales, HTC One is no threat to Sony Xperia Z.
Anyway I do like this handset. A good but inadequate flagship IMO with design copied from Blackberry Z10, Iphone 5 andSony Xperia Ion
Ultrapixel ? FAIL. An average joe isn't gonna understand what ultrapixel is, they will walk into a store and see 4mp - Instant turn off !!!

5million in a month, yep, no threat there

If your post was directed to me because I said Sony dont sell as many handsets, it was just a general comment comparing the whole market, ie, Sony not number one. Calm down
Sorry if it seemed that way, my post was not directed at you
@Tsepz_GP
Please don't say something that stupid. No point bringing Xperia X10 to the discussion. That was a very old SE device.
HTC One Q1 sales target is 0.5 million. It will be available starting March 15 in various countries. Xperia Z sold 0.6 million in the first week of release in Japan alone (just one country). It would have sold at least 2 million units by the end of Q1 in Japan alone.
And anyway, it's not something I should even discuss. When Xperia S (which was heavily outdated compared to 2012 HTC flagships) beat HTC One X + One S + One X+ combined in terms of sales numbers,
Z has absolutely nothing to worry about.
Sadly, another FAIL by HTC.
Not to mention, they might soon get sued by Blackberry/Apple/Sony. Maybe all 3.

man, being a blind fanboy can have people saying some crazy stuff, withi.n no time the One has proved to be something Sony should certainly worry about, seems I was bang on when I said the Htc One shouldn't have a problem catching up.

From what it seems, it's only doing decent in certain markets. The sales figures are unofficial. And no-one here besides etaab wants htc to fail.
The one is doing good in the USA, hardly going to conflict with the z there...
I've seen one htc one so far, and more Zs in London. It's not exactly taking the world by storm...

Yes, well, I've seen more BlackBerry Z10s than any 2013 Androids, what you and I see won't always be representative of what's really going on. No, the One isn't taking the world by storm, that's a roll reserved by Apple iPhone and Samsung Galaxy S, but considering the amount of crap surrounding HTC from IP suits, supply chain issues, infighting, component shortages etc... For it to manage to get anywhere close to 5million in such a short time is incredible. Is there any other flagship that has managed this outside of Apple and Samsung in the last 3years?

I like the One the way it looks and feels. Only thing I don't like is Sense 5 looks a bit dull

I hope it's true. I'd rather HTC do well then Samsung. But I won't believe 5m sold until we get more solid information.
There's that many BlackBerry faithfuls in south Africa???
I didn't use seeing phones to estimate anything, but I've seen quite a few s4s so far, most in the hands of people that don't know why they got it except the fact that they heard it was the best, so it was a very rough benchmark.
But all these senior employees leaving shows that this temporary success is completely unexpected. All the signs showed failure. A smaller screen with the same footprint, a fail at a camera, a delayed launch and an attempt to restrict multitasking in android?

I still can't find any reasonable explanation for their decision to ditch the multitasking button.

And so speaks the voice of the moron. Im surprised you're even brave enough to try joining in conversations outside of Sony threads where you're idiotic opinions and foul language are tolerated.
@ Tsepz_GP - I do find it very entertaining regarding the sales figures after what the aforementioned morons claimed not so long ago.
Good job to HTC, I just hope it secures their future. Theres only them and Samsung who make half decent Android phones. Plus Samsung need a proper rival to stop them becoming Apple - dull, boring and little innovation.
