HTC has not given up on smartphones just yet and the new U23 Pro is here to prove that. The company’s latest mid-ranger has arrived in Taiwan for a starting price of $550 and it continues the legacy of HTC’s Viverse VR compatibility.
Upfront, there is a 6.7-inch OLED panel with 1080p resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. The screen features tiny bezels all around, except for the sizable chin. The screen is protected by Gorilla Glass Victus and there is a fingerprint sensor on the side atop the power button for quick unlocks.
It also has IP67 water and dust resistance.
The HTC U23 Pro draws its power from a Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 chip that comes with 8 to 12 GB RAM options and only a single 256 GB memory variant. There is also a memory card slot for storage expansion.
The phone boots Android 13 OS out of the box.
The primary camera setup includes a 108MP main sensor equipped with OIS for steady videos and photos. There is also an 8MP ultrawide unit, a 5MP macro camera, and a 2MP depth sensor alongside the main camera. This camera can record 4K videos at 30 FPS.
The selfie camera is a 32MP unit capable of 1080p video clips.
HTC U23 Pro is one of those rare mid-rangers that come with wireless charging. This is on top of a 4,600 mAh battery and there is 3oW wired charging support as well as reverse wired and wireless charging.
As mentioned earlier, the HTC U23 Pro has a starting price of $550.
