Dubai: HTC Corp. on Sunday unveiled its hybrid business phone, the HTC Touch Pro in the UAE.
The 165g phone delivers advanced 3D touch interface, desktop-like browsing and mobile business solutions.
"HTC has brought one-hand, one-touch mobile internet capabilities to a higher level with the HTC Touch Pro," said Kevin Chen, General Manager for Middle East and Africa.
The phone's 3D touch interface TouchFLO 3D provides an intuitive way to zip through tasks like messaging, calendar appointments or making calls with just one touch.
The technology offers a rich touch experience with music, photos, contacts and web surfing. It also has a customised mobile web browser that enables easy viewing and effortless navigation of websites in the way they are designed to be viewed on a PC.
As part of this browsing experience, users can zoom and pan websites with one-hand and automatically view optimised content that has been specially created to fit the display.
Turning the device sideways automatically rotates the web page view from a portrait to landscape view.
In addition to web browsing, the Touch Pro includes an HTC-developed YouTube application for watching a variety of user generated video content.
Advanced wireless and auto sensor screen pivoting are just a few of the features that make the Touch Pro experience a stand out.
The HTC Touch Pro is available in the UAE at an estimated price of Dh3,499.
