According to the WSJ, HTC's longtime CEO has bet his job on the success of the One flagship device.
Reads the exact quote, "In a meeting in late 2012, Mr. Chou told senior executives he would step down if the new smartphone doesn't succeed, according to people familiar with the situation."
The company recently had to delay the launch of the smartphone, which features high-end specs and the company's latest version of the Sense UI.
Chou founded HTC in 1997 and has remained its chairman since.
HTC One has a 4.7-inch LCD with 1080p resolution and a massive pixel density of 468ppi.
Under the hood is a Snapdragon 600 SoC that includes a quad-core processor clocked at 1.7GHz and LTE. The device runs on Android 4.1 with HTC Sense 5, has 2GB RAM, 32 or 64GB internal storage, GPS and GLONASS, NFC, Bluetooth 4.0, 802.11ac Wi-Fi and a large 2300mAh battery.
