HTC is reportedly planning to launch its own action camera designed for extreme sports.
If in fact true, the move will see the Taiwanese company directly compete with GoPro, the market standard in rugged camera tech.
The news comes from Bloomberg, which claims HTC has a tube-shaped 16MP camera with a wide-angle lens already in the pipeline.
The report says the camera will connect to both Android and iOS devices via Bluetooth and Wi-Fi and that HTC may even release its own supportive apps.
It won’t operate as a standalone camera either, which means you’d have to connect it to your smartphone directly first.
When will this HTC action camera come along you ask? Well, it just so happens that HTC began sending out invitations this week to a mystery New York event on October 8 called ‘Double Exposure’.
Bloomberg’s source also claimed that the photo-centric event would be a likely time to unveil the action camera, alongside the selfie-focused HTC One M8 Eye.
