My initial comment would be that I can't advise the purchase of this mobile phone. My analysis is provided below.
I purchased a HTC U23 Pro and after having used it for some time I now have an opinion.
It includes some problems I have with it, but due to not receiving assistance from HTC support I want to provide my opinion externally.
I am currently using OnePlus N10 5G (with Android 11) and Sony XZ2 (with Android 10), which I am therefore referencing ti against.
1. The networking is bad, and I have often problems getting it to connect with both mobile data and WiFi, when my reference mobiles will connect.
2. The battery is used up rather quickly, possibly due to the screen power usage. The screen is good in normal light, but not extraordinary in high light situations. I don't do games, so I don't know about the screen performance for games.
3. The camera is OK in normal day light situations, but not in low light, not in close ups and not with an easy selection of parameters when doing a picture taking. The 108mpix proposing is useless as it doesn't provide any improvement over the standard 12mpix setting.
4. The closeup option is only fixed-focus and therefore difficult to use, so not really an option for a user, but just something to put on the label.
5. The side positioned finger print sensor is not working well, and will not always react on a saved finger print, and I also experienced that the system suddenly deleted/forgot the saved fingerprints I and, so I had to redo it all.

travelinjack3, 25 Aug 2023Still not available in VietnamIts not available anywhere in Europe anymore!!! HTC used to market new phones there but now only in Asia e.g. India and middle-east such as S-Audi Arabia So you can count yourself lucky and soon enough in line for many new htcs like the V22* which is nice for you!

Tyas, 24 Aug 2023HTC one m8 has 77h endurance rate with tiny 2600mah battery... moreUnfortunately, in pursuit of features, sync everything and tracking, there's nothing we can do.
Companies are not listening to many of us, they're just going about forcing their opinions and products.
Even low end products re heavily bloated with stuff we don't even use much.
Nokia 808 Pureview with a very very bright 4 inch display lasted 2 days with 1400 mah battery. Most of the battery power today is being misused for useless tasks.

HTC should just stop making phones, the specs are just downright bad for the price.

More than the battery life, the OS is an offense considering the good skin HTC used to have

Anonymous, 23 Aug 2023Too small battery. Too small screen like the rest of them.4600 mah battery is too small?
6.7 inch screen is too small?
What are you comparing it against exactly?
Although, I do agree the battery standby is turning out too less... 86 hours is.. let's just say, I'm expecting some sort of error, or its due to that AI learning that happens initially.

Anonymous, 19 Aug 2023You are business guy and still need carrier deal to get pho... moreLike with every other UI regardless of a brand.
And yes i am a bussiness guy thats why i use carrier to buy a phone because it offers me avesome price and i hvae money for something else.
Since i dislike to throw money out of the window is always for me a better way to buy something on a contract where i pay 16 euros for next 2 years. My current Moto 40 edge pro. Same way i got my xiaomi Mi 11 lite i paid 12 euros a month rest been covered by my monthly plan which is 37 euros.
Paying instantly 789 eur for a phone price at my carrier is a no for me if this is much cheaper way since i pay 37 just a phone bill unlimited calls and text and 40GB data and without anything else.
Hope you understands.
Even if i wanted i could get something like Hymalayan version of Metavertu.
But i am not that kind of guy who must have everything he can afford.

I am sure you can afford unlocked device and flagship ones.
Also, could have gotten simpler phone without any IP.
Person that does not like modified UIs, should never use one.
MiUI is exactly what you bash.
Too much modified, laggy and bloated.

Anonymous, 05 Aug 2023Does anyone remember the HTC rose, it had a slide out keybo... moreI remember many old HTC phones, I saw them everywhere, at the time I saw many people having a BlackBerry as well. Samsung wasn't at all that big, and Nokia lost market share in large numbers. It was a different time, Windows Mobile, Symbian on Nokia and Sony Ericsson, dumbphones, special niche camera phones, iPhones and the early Androids. Now you have either iOS or Android. Boring.
