Recently, HTC, the Taiwanese manufacture of smartphones and tablets released their new electronic products, HTC Vive and HTC 10 smartphone, which takes people's great notice of this highly controversial company again. HTC Vive, the VR headset for games, requires a high graphics card PC configuration, while the new smartphone needs a well-worked USB connection.
