HTC One X ‘superphone’ released this year.

HTC revenues slid 20% NT$31,032 m (US $1.06 billion) for the month of April.

This marks a 19.87% drop compared to the same time last year, HTC said yesterday.

However, this latest figure is higher than NT 30.879 billion ($1.06 billion) the Taiwanese phone maker recorded in March.

Consolidated revenues for January to April period were NT$98,822 million, down over 30% year-on-year.

This comes as the Android carrier, seen as the anti-Apple, struggles against the might of iPhone and Samsung smartphones that are taking over the phone scene, according to analysts.
