One Mini smartphone supply chain issues reportedly hit HTC | FinestAndroid.com
It looks like HTC’s troubles won’t be gone any time soon, with the company now under pressure to make right on it’s failing to meet demand for its One Mini smartphone.
Supply chain problems may add to HTC’s difficulties this quarter, if a recent report from Reuters is accurate. The news agency reports via sources familiar with the matter, that the Taiwanese manufacturer is facing shortages of the HTC One Mini’s aluminium casing due to design difficulties.
The problems with the HTC One Mini, launched in mid-July, come partly from a casing shortage is piling pressure on already disappointing sales and increasing the likelihood the firm will post its first net loss this quarter.
The report states that HTC is having difficulties meeting consumer and telecom demand for the 4.3-inch handset, which launched earlier this summer. The source said that consumer and telecom demand for the One Mini could not be met at the moment, even though analysts estimate that the company plans to ship only around 200,000 of the devices each month.
HTC did not reply to an email requesting comment. The sources declined to be identified because they were not authorized to speak on behalf of HTC.
