Google today announced the first crop of Android One smartphones at an event in India. With prices starting at just $105, the devices are designed to give those in emerging markets a stock Android experience and all the benefits that brings on a “high quality” device with a super affordable price tag.

HTC is set to take an unexpected leap into extreme sports gear with a waterproof camera that will challenge the GoPro, according to a source familiar with its plans. The Taiwanese company is said to be looking beyond the smartphone as it seeks out new way to make money following three years of declining sales.

NVIDIA has all but confirmed an HTC Nexus 9 tablet packing its 64-bit Tegra K1 processor by mentioning the device in a lawsuit filed against Qualcomm and Samsung. The chip maker expects the tablet to begin shipping during the third quarter of 2014, and some believe it could be announced at HTC’s “Double Exposure” event on October 9.

HTC is still hard at work developing its first smartwatch, according to “people familiar with the matter,” and you’ll be able to buy it early next year.

A recent report claimed that the Taiwanese company had scrapped plans to build a wearable due to the rising costs of components and increasing competition from a growing number of Android Wear devices. But to the delight of HTC fans everywhere, it appears those claims were false.

HTC has started sending out invites for a ‘Double Exposure’ event it’s holding in New York on Wednesday, October 8. Unfortunately, the invitations don’t reveal too much about the upcoming event, but it does show two women holding an HTC One (M8) presumably taking a selfie.
