When is HTC's Viverse event?

HTC recently posted on Twitter a teaser for its upcoming smartphone that is set to debut at a launch event on 28 June 2022.

How to watch HTC's Viverse event

HTC will likely live-stream its Viverse event on YouTube. The event video will be embedded at the top of this page once it becomes officially available. 

What to expect from HTC's Viverse event

In early 2022, HTC announced its answer to Facebook's metaverse, Viverse, which would allow you to communicate with others through a VR chat, hold meetings in Engage, collaborate in Vive Sync, attend holographic VR concerts, and more. Then, at MWC 2022, HTC said it's working on a flagship phone that'll work with the metaverse.

Now, HTC is thought to be teasing the launch of that mobile device, by sharing an invite on Twitter that has a phone-shaped silhouette along with an HTC Viverse logo.

The phone will likely offer an augmented reality and virtual reality experience and some sort of time into HTCs open-source metaverse platform Viverse. Reports have also speculated about whether it will have HTC Exodus-like blockchain features. Little is known for sure right now, as there haven't been very many leaks to date.

Having said that, HTC is clearly poised to share more about the Viverse and will potentially unveil a mobile device in June.
