HTC is launching a new U-series smartphone. They used to be a popular smartphone brand. People would buy HTC phones before Samsung became the most popular Android phone maker. This new phone is a comeback for HTC after taking a break from releasing new phones.
HTC is launching a new U series smartphone that focuses on the metaverse. The phone will feature HTC’s Viverse platform, which is for virtual reality experiences. We don’t know the launch date, but it could be at Computex 2023 on May 30th. HTC has been talking about launching a Metaverse phone since last year. Viverse is a platform for virtual reality that focuses on safety and security.
A new HTC device has been spotted online, and it might be called the HTC U23 Pro 5G. The design looks like a Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra, with a rectangular camera bump and four cameras. The phone doesn’t look as impressive as HTC’s previous phones, like the HTC One series and HTC U 11. One of the cameras might be a 108MP shooter with optical image stabilization.
The HTC U23 Pro 5G might have an AMOLED display and a Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 chip. It could come with a 4,600mAh battery, wireless charging, and a 3.5mm headphone jack. The design might just be an early sample and could be improved. HTC is not very popular in the current smartphone market and has been struggling to stand out. They tried to enter the cryptocurrency trend a few years ago with the Exodus 1 and Exodus 1s.
The last top-of-the-line HTC phone released in Malaysia was the HTC U12+ in 2018. It had no physical buttons and used pressure-sensitive sensors instead. These sensors were located on the phone’s body and acted as the phone’s “physical buttons.”
