Pros and Cons

HTC U23

HTC U23

The HTC U23 Pro marks a rare comeback for the once-giant smartphone brand. With mid-range specs, a 120Hz OLED display, and a 108MP camera with OIS, this phone tries to recapture its former glory. The device features an IP67 rating, RGB notification LED, and a headphone jack. However, its performance in other areas is underwhelming. A single bottom-firing speaker, average battery life, and unimpressive camera capabilities raise concerns about the U23 Pro's value for money.
