HTC is reportedly working on a new upper-midrange phone. The Bluetooth SIG authority certified the said device last week. The listing revealed three model numbers: 2QC9200, 2QC9100, and 2QCB100. It is being said that these model numbers belong to the three different country variants of the same smartphone. It seems that it could be the HTC U23 Pro smartphone, which has been spotted on the Geekbench benchmarking platform.
As can be seen in the screengrab below,
the forthcoming HTC U23 Pro has appeared on Geekbench 6. The Taiwanese
manufacturer has launched a couple of low-end Wildfire-branded smartphones in
recent months. It has also been launching Desire-series phones each year.
However, the U23 Pro is the successor to the HTC U20 5G, which was announced
back in June 2020.
The Geekbench listing reveals that the HTC
U23 Pro is powered by a Qualcomm chip, which is equipped with four CPU cores
working a 1.80GHz, three CPU cores operating at 2.36GHz, and a single CPU core
running at 2.40GHz. The source code of the listing shows that the SoC includes
the Adreno 644 GPU. These CPU and GPU details are enough to confirm that the
HTC U23 Pro is powered by the Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 chipset.
The Geekbench listing further shows that
the HTC U23 Pro has 12 GB of RAM and Android 13 OS. In the single-core and
multi-core tests of Geekbench 6, the device scored 933 and 2351 points,
respectively. At present, there is no information available on the other
specifications of the HTC U23 Pro. It is likely that the device may arrive with
a 120Hz AMOLED display, up to 256 GB of storage, top-notch cameras, and a big
battery with fast charging support. In all likelihood, the U23 Pro may debut in
Taiwan in June.
