Welcome to the World, HTC Flyer
The HTC Flyer was released in May 2011, and it was received with much excitement and praise. As a proud member of the HTC family, it boasted an impressive operating system, Android 2.3.3, which could be upgraded to 3.2, and the popular Sense UI. Its sleek dimensions (420.8g, 13.2mm thickness) made it easy to hold and carry, making it perfect for on-the-go use.

The device also had an impressive Adreno 205 GPU, making it ideal for gaming and multimedia consumption.
A Display Like No Other
One standout feature of the HTC Flyer was its unique display. Boasting a 7.0-inch LCD screen with a resolution of 600 x 1024 pixels, the Flyer offered a high-quality visual experience.

Capturing Memories
The HTC Flyer's camera was another notable feature, with a 5-megapixel main shooter capable of capturing high-quality photos and recording videos in 720p. It also had a 1.3 MP front camera for video calls and selfies.
Long-lasting Battery and Stand-by Time
The Flyer's non-removable Li-Po 4000 mAh battery was impressive, offering up to 1470 hours of standby time. This meant that you could use your device for hours on end without worrying about finding a power outlet.
