Why HTC cell phone pictures of the clock is 10:08?

If you often see the phone released by HTC, I do not know you have not found in the mobile phone released by HTC official in the picture, the clock is that in 10:08, is a coincidence you? There are still reasons? On this question, many people make their own interpretation, such as HTC has released the date of the first Android phone G1 may be the designer casual get on a never to change it, or did not reasons and so on.

If you have this question a while ago, HTC has given the answer in the official blog. In the 12-hour digital clock (the clock like the following figure), 10:08 is a reasonable time frame, so that the LCD units up to light up time clock manufacturers can determine the clock display correctly ; we may will say that if you want the LCD lights up, then, how do not eighty-eight past six p.m.? In fact there is no such time.

Traditional digital clock, each number by 7 LCD unit.

In addition, the traditional pointer clock 10:08 time-sharing, hour and minute hands just will show the "smile" of a V-shaped angle, the meaning of "victory", so it looks like the most symmetrical, so we look at some watches, DM The images are deliberately transferred to the 10:08 to shoot. In short, the HTC 10:08 time the reason is so simple, no deeper meaning.

General pointer clock will often transferred to the 10:08 take a picture, the pointer looks symmetric, it will not block the brand logo.
