HTC officially announced that chairman Wang will be the CEO of the company, and that former CEO Peter Chou will focus on new product development. In the official statement, Wang said:

The industry is changing rapidly, and smartphones have become central devices in the world of intelligent hardware. We were pioneers in the smartphone industry and now we're starting to think about the potential of next-generation connectivity devices and services ... I am honored to be able to shape HTC in a future phase of development.

The official statement also mentions Wang's more and more access to HTC's day-to-day management over the past two years. The past two years have also been the two years that HTC has stepped down the central stage of the smartphone global market. Despite the creation of two generations of "best Android Phones", HTC is often classed as others in IDC and SA's smartphone shipments, and they are no longer the TOP10 smartphone makers in the Chinese market.

But HTC is no longer willing to be a "smartphone maker". In addition to smartphones, HTC has released re handheld cameras, grip and re Vive VR devices over the past year.

But the transition does not mean an immediate effect, after all, old rival Samsung is doing exactly the same thing, and a quicker step. and eyeing Chinese manufacturers, such as Millet and Huawei, have made it their goal to beat Samsung. Millet President Lin in an interview with Dr. Mo said Samsung if not change mode will encounter a big problem.

In the fourth quarter of 2014, HTC's fourth-quarter revenue was $1.52 billion, up 12% from a year earlier, compared with a 14% increase in the previous quarter. The company's net profit was $15.88 million trillion, down 20% from a year earlier.
