It comes with a 7,660mAh battery and is sold through Three in the United Kingdom. It would also be made available in Switzerland, Germany and Finland.

 

Cher Wang, Chairwoman and CEO of HTC, said: 'HTC is proud to bring to market the world's first 5G mobile smart hub,'

 

'5G will be the game-changer for VR and AR, and the new HTC 5G Hub will seamlessly deliver the great bandwidth of 5G to our devices, driving our vision of Vive Reality - a boundless, immersive environment where human experiences will come to the forefront.'
