HTC has released an official new
product video for the Desire Pro 20. As we said, the device is limited to
Taiwan for now although the company did say in a tweet that other markets will
follow. Those markets might not include the U.S., but that doesn't mean that we
should ignore this phone. If HTC plans on becoming an important smartphone
brand again, we should take a look at what the manufacturer is doing now.
First, the Desire 20 Pro is a mid-range
device sporting a 6.5-inch LCD display and the Snapdragon 665 chipset. It
features 6GB of memory and 128GB of expandable storage. On the back, you'll
find a 48MP primary camera, a 118-degree 8MP ultra-wide-angle camera, a 2MP
Macro camera for 25mm close-ups, and a 2MP depth sensor. There is a portrait
mode and a night mode that allows photos to be shot in low-light environments
without a flash. And in the front of the device, there is a 32MP selfie
snapper. The handset comes with a 5000mAh battery as HTC has finally given in to
the idea of equipping its phones with enough juice to last over one day.
The HTC U20 5G is also limited to Taiwan
for now but could be launched in other markets eventually. A video released by
HTC on the date the handset was unveiled mentions the 6.8-inch tall and thin
display with a 20:9 aspect ratio. Under the hood is the Snapdragon 765G chipset
that features an integrated 5G modem chip, 8GB of memory and 256GB of
expandable storage. The rear camera setup is exactly the same as the one found
on the HTC Desire 20 Pro and there is a 5000mAh battery inside this model as
well.
Perhaps HTC is taking the Motorola method
to get back into the flagship game. The latter conquered the budget and
mid-range markets before shocking the Android community by releasing a
competent and competitive top-shelf device.
