There are plenty of companies and brands involved in the mobile tech business in one form or another that have seen their popularity wane over the years, ranging from Nokia to BlackBerry, LG, and Motorola, but for long-time Android enthusiasts, HTC’s fall from grace must be the most painful of all these failure stories.

While that day might still be a ways off, the company has finally managed to stop its monthly bleeding by reporting around $42 million (NT$1.31 billion) in March 2019 consolidated revenue.
