Cher Wang said in a statement that Pre-orders will start from February 29th and these Pre-orders will be shipped in April. He added:

" Yes smartphones are important,  but to create a natural extension to other connected devices like wearables and Virtual Reality is more important...I think
the problem was competition – Apple, Xiaomi, these companies spend tons of money on communications and marketing, they pump a huge amount of investment into the market. There are a lot of Chinese competitors."

HTC has partnered with Valve,  a video game developer company which uses Valve's steam VR technology and are continuing to work with other innovative companies to create contents like gaming,  entertainment, medical and education.
