HTC is officially back with U20 5G and Desire 20 Pro

HTC’s rumored mid-range handsets are now official. The Taiwanese company has launched the HTC U20 5G and the HTC Desire Pro in its home market with both featuring contemporary if unexceptional designs. The HTC U20 5G is the first 5G-capable handset and is targeted at the upper mid-range segment while the HTC Desire Pro is a standard mid-range offering.

The U20 5G centers on a 6.8-inch FHD+ LCD display with a 20:9 aspect ratio with small front-facing hole for the selfie-cam. It is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 765G chipset and mated to 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage. It has a large 5,000 mAh battery and supports Qualcomm’s QuickCharge 4.0 tech which is good for 18 W fast charging. On the rear are four cameras including a 48 MP primary sensory, an 8 MP wide-angle camera, a 2 MP depth sensor and a 2 MP macro lens.

The Desire 20 Pro centers on a 6.5-inch FHD+ LCD display with a 19.5:9 aspect ratio and also includes a similar punch-hole selfie camera cut out. It is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 665 and is mated to 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage. It too features a 5,000 mAh battery but only supports Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0. The ‘Pro’ naming scheme seems to result from the fact that it features the same rear camera set up as the U20 5G

Both devices run Android 10 out of the box, although HTC has yet to confirm the pricing of either handset. At this stage, we’re hearing that the Desire Pro 20 is the most likely to be the first of the two devices to venture into other markets.
