The HTC U24 Pro has been announced , lay out a 2d consecutive attempt to resurrect a once respect smartphone brand name .
This prison term last year bring the launching of theHTC U23 Pro , which promised the coming back of one of the early smartphone champions . In the event , it turned out to be a fairly unspectacular mid - range smartphone with one or two noteworthy specifications , such as wireless charging and IP67 certification .
Still , it did enough to offend our pursuit , and we ’re unrestrained to see how the newly annunciate HTC U24 Pro can take things forward for this storied stigma .
HTC is position on a large 6.8 - inch 120Hz AMOLED display ( up from 6.7 - inch ) with 3D curving glass edges rather than the U23 Pro ’s flat screen door . Together with an angled aluminium figure and an eye - catching backside that feature a “ proprietary portmanteau of optic grating , heating system condensation , and sandblasting ” , it ’s certainly more of a dish than the U23 Pro .
HTC has retained the IP67 rating and the 3.5 millimeter phone jack , too .
Another improvement this time around is in the photographic section , where we get a consecrated 50MP telephoto television camera to go with a 50MP main sensor ( with 130 % more Christ Within intake ) and 8MP ultra - broad . Suffice to say , such a telephotograph provision is not vulgar in the mid - range grocery store . There ’s a 50MP tv camera around front , too
A more modernistic and powerful Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 runs the show , offering a 60 % boost in performance per W and 50 % faster graphical performance . This is accompanied by 12 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage , with a microSD slot also include .
We ’re a little upset that HTC has stuck with a slightly skinny 4,600mAh battery , as stamina was not the HTC U23 Pro ’s unassailable period . However , we ’re encouraged that it ’s further the supported charging speed from 30W to 60W. You still get 15W wireless file support , too , which was a stall out spec before .
HTC is once again draw things in with its modern VR focusing through the VIVERSE app , which uses AI motion capture technology to create virtual avatar .
It ’s look to be a upstanding improvement from last year ’s feat , and it all comes at a down damage of £ 469 too . Pre - ordersstart on 24 June , with an initial offer bunch in a free wireless charger .
