HTC has released the official unveiling video of the new U24 Pro

HTC created many iconic devices such as the Touch Pro, Touch Diamond, Xperia X1 with its unique interface, T-Mobile G1 (the first Android phone in the US) and Nexus One. However, after the release of the One (M8), the Taiwanese manufacturer lost its position and focused on creating blockchain phones and mid-range devices. The latest model, the HTC U24 Pro, was unveiled a week ago, and the company has released a video showing off the device’s features. The video is just over a minute and a half long and highlights the phone’s features such as a 6.8-inch curved OLED display with a resolution of 1080 x 2436 and a refresh rate of 120Hz. Inside, there’s a mid-range Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 chipset.

One of the features HTC has emphasized in the U24 Pro is its «shiny new back panel». There are more significant improvements, however: a triple-camera setup on the back that includes a 50 MP main camera with optical image stabilization (OIS), a 50 MP telephoto lens with 2x optical zoom, and an 8 MP ultra-wide-angle camera. The front camera also has a 50 MP resolution, which allows you to make high-quality selfies and video calls. HTC U24 Pro supports 4K video recording.

Of course, AI features are not lacking: AI Photo Enhancer improves group photos by opening the eyes of those who have closed them and turning participants’ heads toward the camera. Viverse tracks your dance moves and allows two AR avatars to replicate them perfectly.

HTC U24 Pro is IP67 dust and water resistant. The 4,600 mAh battery supports 60W wired charging and 15W wireless charging. It also lets you charge other phones using the reverse wireless charging feature.

The video doesn’t mention it, but the HTC U24 Pro features 12GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage, which is expandable via microSD card. A nice addition is the presence of a 3.5mm headphone jack. While the HTC U24 Pro likely won’t be available in the US, Europe and Russia, it’s priced at 564 euros (US$606) and NT$18,990 (US$586) at HTC’s online store in Taiwan.
