This mid-range smartphone, the U23 Pro, comes with a microSD card and a 3.5mm port, and it fills me with nostalgia. But just because it was better back then doesn&#8217;t mean it&#8217;s still better now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m not too happy with the front. The 5.7-inch OLED display with a resolution of 2400 \u00d7 1080 pixels and a frequency of 120 Hz is technologically advanced, but it&#8217;s not particularly aesthetically pleasing. It&#8217;s all due to the bezels. It&#8217;s wider at the top and bottom than on the sides. This hinders my pursuit of symmetry. Not only that, but the information line showing the time and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.batteriesfast.co.uk\/smartphone-battery\/HTC\/BTE-4601\/1747932\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>HTC U23 Pro Battery<\/strong><\/a>&nbsp;status is too close to the rounded corner at the top of the display.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Camera: Rich details, washed-out colors<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>HTC has equipped the U23 Pro with a total of five cameras. On the back, there is a 108-megapixel main camera, an 8-megapixel ultra-wide-angle camera, and a 5-megapixel macro camera. The fourth lens on the back provides depth of field shooting information. The front camera has a resolution of 32 megapixels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The power is adequate,<a href=\"https:\/\/www.batteriesfast.co.uk\/smartphone-battery\/HTC\/BTE-4601\/1747932\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>HTC U23 Pro Battery<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Life is poor<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The HTC U23 Pro is equipped with a Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 processor, which is in the mid-range market. The 12 GB of RAM is more than I expected for a smartphone in this price range. As a result, the U23 Pro runs smoothly and is fast enough for daily use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For this test, I used Geekbench 6 to run the numbers. I chose three other mid-range models to compare the device to: Honor 90, Motorola Edge 40 Neo, and Samsung Galaxy A34. The HTC U23 Pro compares favorably with other mid-range smartphones. In some tests, it was far behind the Galaxy A34 and Edge 40 Neo. However, this positive impression loses some of its luster when comparing the device to the Honor 90, which uses the same processor. The U23 Pro always lags behind by a few percentage points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><u><a href=\"https:\/\/www.batteriesfast.co.uk\/smartphone-battery\/HTC\/BTE-4601\/1747932\">HTC U23 Pro Smartphone Battery<\/a><\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The capacity is 4600 mAh. It consumes a maximum of 30 watts through the USB-C port and 15 watts over wireless. These are convenient averages. However, the power consumption is higher than comparable smartphones. With a little moderation, I was able to get through a day with the HTC U23 Pro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>PCMark Work 3.0 testing found that the<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>HTC U23 Pro battery<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>time was just 5 hours and 31 minutes.

The manufacturer is only willing to provide two years of security updates for this smartphone and has not yet commented on newer Android versions. Given that most manufacturers now have improved update policies, this puts HTC at the bottom of the pack<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><u><a href=\"https:\/\/www.batteriesfast.co.uk\/smartphone-battery\/HTC\/BTE-4601\/1747932\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">3.87V 4500mAh Replacement Smartphone Battery for HTC BTE-4601<\/a><\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>4500mAh 3.87V HTC BTE-4601 battery for HTC U23 Pro constructed with advanced circuit board technology.
