HTC yesterday released the HTC A101, a mid-range tablet in South Africa and Russia powered by a Unisoc T608 processor. Featuring a metal-body design, the A101 sports a 10-inch 60Hz LCD display with a resolution of 1920x1200 pixels with rather thick bezels.

Google and HTC officially signed an agreement where certain HTC employees, many of whom are currently working with Google on their Pixel smartphones, will join Google for a $1.1 billion cash investment in HTC. Google will also receive exclusive license for HTC intellectual property while HTC will still be making smartphones and are currently working on their next flagship phone after the HTC U11. They also said that they will continue work on their VIVE VR tech, Artificial Intelligence and Internet of Things as well.
