  • Google has bought parts of HTC’s Vive division to “accelerate the development of the Android XR platform.”
  • The deal is reportedly valued at $250 million and comes years after Google acquired most of HTC’s smartphone unit.

Google bought most of HTC’s smartphone business back in 2017, laying the foundation for recent Google Pixel phones. Now, the search giant has acquired parts of another HTC division to bolster its Android XR efforts.
