Google is buying part of HTC, or more specifically the HTC team that collaborated with Google on creating the Pixel phones. This seemingly refers to the technologies that are already inside the HTC phones and will probably end up in Google Pixel phones. Then there are technologies like BoomSound speakers and the Ultrapixel cameras, which are common in the HTC phones but in future may make their way to the Google Pixel phones. To recall, last year's Google Pixel phones -- Pixel and Pixel XL was manufacturers by HTC -- and there's no doubt that the phones were perfect from almost all aspects, especially in the imaging department. Google is all set to announce the successors of the last year's Pixel phones aka Pixel 2, Pixel 2 XL on Oct 4.
