HTC fans in Taiwan rejoice! The wait is over as the much anticipated HTC U24 Pro has been officially released in the region. This mid-range smartphone has impressive features and a competitive price, making it an attractive choice for users who want a beautiful display, powerful cameras and a long-lasting battery.

Immersive display and powerful performance:

The U24 Pro takes center stage with its stunning 6.8-inch OLED display. This FHD+ panel has a smooth 120Hz refresh rate, promises silky smooth images and a responsive user experience that is perfect for gamers and users who enjoy watching videos on their phone. The screen is curved at the edges, which adds elegance and enhances the immersive viewing experience. This beautiful screen is protected by a durable layer of Gorilla Glass, which ensures that it can withstand everyday bumps and scratches.

Under the hood, the U24 Pro has a Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 processor, LPDDR5 RAM and UFS 3.1 storage. This combination offers powerful performance for everyday tasks, cross-application multitasking and even light gaming.

Versatile Camera System:

U24 Pro has a versatile triple camera system on the back. The main camera is a 50-megapixel image stabilizer with OIS (Optical Image Stabilization) to capture sharp images and more stable videos. It comes with an 8-megapixel ultra-wide sensor for capturing sweeping landscapes and group shots, and the surprising addition of a 50-megapixel telephoto sensor with 2x optical zoom that lets you get closer to distant subjects without compromising image quality. Flip the phone over and you'll find a 50-megapixel front-facing camera, perfect for high-resolution selfies and video calls.

Long-lasting battery and other features:

The U24 Pro is equipped with a 4600 mAh battery that should provide enough power for a full day of use on a single charge. As for charging, the phone supports 60W cable fast charging, so you can quickly resume using your phone without waiting hours for it to fully charge. In addition, the U24 Pro supports 15W wireless charging, which provides a convenient way to charge the battery without wires.

U24 Pro runs on Android 14 operating system that offers a clean and user-friendly user experience. An in-display fingerprint sensor takes care of security, and you also get a handy microSD card slot for expandable storage. Connectivity options include the latest Wi-Fi 6E standard, Bluetooth 5.3, NFC for contactless payments and a USB-C port for charging and data transfer. HTC has retained the beloved 3.5mm headphone jack, which is often missing from flagships these days. The U24 Pro also has a notification LED, which is a small but appreciated feature for alerts.

Stylish design and competitive price:

U24 Pro is available in two stylish colors: Space Blue and Twilight White. The dimensions of the phone are 167.1 x 74.9 x 8.98 mm and the weight is 198.7 grams, which offers a comfortable grip despite the large screen. The IP67 rating ensures that the phone is resistant to dust and water and offers peace of mind against weather conditions.

The pricing strategy of the U24 Pro is particularly interesting. The base variant with 12GB RAM and 256GB storage starts at NTD 18,990 (approx. Rs. 49,000; ~ USD 585), while the higher-end 12GB RAM and 512GB storage variant is priced at NTD 20,990 (Rs. 54,200;) ~ USD 585 . This puts the U24 Pro in a competitive position in the mid-range and offers good value for its features.

Promising mid-range contender

The launch of the HTC U24 Pro in Taiwan marks the arrival of an attractive mid-range. An excellent display, high-performance cameras, a long-lasting battery and a versatile package make the U24 Pro a strong contender in the potential market.
