Aimed at fitness enthusiasts and athletes, the HTC Grip has a built-in GPS receiver that can track your run and cycling exercises. It also has a sleep tracker. Among the smorgasbord of sensors it contains are accelerometer, gyroscope, compass, and light sensor. Sadly, it does not have a heart rate sensor. It will hit the North American market soon and will be available in Deep Teal and Lime color variants. It will also come in three sizes: small, medium, and large. Its price is rather steep at $199.
