HTC Corp. is developing its first camera, a waterproof model for extreme sports, as it diversifies beyond smartphones amid three years of declining sales, according to a person familiar with the plans.
Featuring an ultra wide-angle lens, the camera will have a 16 megapixel sensor and connect directly to devices running Google Inc.’s Android and Apple Inc.’s iOS systems, said the person who asked not to be identified because the details aren’t public. HTC declined to comment in an e-mailed response to Bloomberg News today.
