The HTC U23 pro is hardly a ‘Pro Phone’ from the company

After teasing its new cellphone on Twitter, HTC has formally taken the wraps off the U23 Pro smartphone, which seems precisely to the leaked pictures that the leaker purchased from a used market in China, and sadly, the HTC U23 Pro is neither a flagship grade smartphone nor does it have a lot to do with the Metaverse.

The cellphone has a fairly generic design that appears to be taken from OPPO, it is available in colour choices of Coffee Black and Snow White, when you additionally get a thick chin bezel and a entrance digicam punch gap minimize out, which isn’t some type of design language you’d have hoped the outdated HTC undertake on its flagship smartphones, although to present them some credit score, the U23 pro is IP67 rated in opposition to mud and water.

In phrases of specs, the cellphone is powered by final 12 months’s Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 SoC paired with 12GB RAM and 256GB of storage, the latter will be expanded with a microSD card, it options a 6.7-inch OLED FHD+ show that refreshes at 120Hz and guarded by Gorilla Glass Victus, 4,600mAh battery with assist for 30W quick wired charging and 15W wi-fi charging.

Camera smart, it has a quad digicam system that options a 108MP fundamental digicam with OIS and EIS that takes 4K HDR movies, complemented by an 8MP ultrawide, 5MP macro and 2MP depth digicam, the entrance digicam takes 32MP stills and 1080p movies, which is general a fairly normal digicam setup now we have seen on mid-range telephones.

So, how is the cellphone associated to the company’s Viverse platform?

Well, apart from with the ability to create your individual digital avatar on the cellphone, you possibly can stream apps from the cellphone into the company’s VIVE XR Elite headset, and that sadly must be bought individually because it doesn’t include the cellphone, however fortunately this isn’t one other smartphone VR headset concept that HTC is introducing right here, so when you already personal the VIVR XR Elite headset, this may very well be a good companion cellphone to go along with.

Don’t anticipate the HTC U23 pro to be bought in Malaysia, as the company’s smartphone division has exited the market right here, the cellphone will be preordered at the HTC Vive UK on-line store for a cool £499.00 (RM2813) and also you get a free HTC True Wireless Buds Plus earbuds.

Though this isn’t precisely a nice comeback by HTC, let’s hope HTC actually takes it smartphones a little extra significantly the subsequent spherical.
