6" 18:9 QHD P-oled like V35
6/8GB + 128/256Gb
Wide 48MP + Ultra Wide 16MP + Tele 12MP
Dual selfie + Face ID
At least 3500 mAh

    I hope HTC does well with these new releases, honestly.

      What were they thinking when they decided the price? Don't they know that Huawei, Xiaomi and Galaxy A50 exist?

        Anonymous, 11 Jun 2019SD710, HDR oled (according to taiwanese media), 6Gb, 128Gb... moreAll them are overpriced. But, at least, Pixel phones have better updates while the support of HTC globally is almost null and Pixel phones has OIS in the main camera. These phones doesn't have OIS and doesn't seems to have stereo speakers like the Pixels, they call them dual speakers but the aperture of the upper one for the ear, that is the second speaker, it is suspiciously too narrow... Although the iris scanner its a placebo, the telephoto is a 2x optic zoom only...

        https://www.htc.com/tw/smartphones/htc-u19e-spec/

        In any case phones like the Mi 9T Pro, Mi Mix 3, One Plus 7, Nubia Red Magic 3 and Meizu 16s for me sounds a lot better than the HTC 19e and Pixels mid ranges at similar price.

        And for the HTC Desire 19+... I prefer Mi 9T, Mi 8, Pocophone F1, Meizu 16th, even a spare Huawei Mate 10 or OP 5T.

                Some of the comments are toxic. This midranger has a bigger battery, telephoto lens, more detailed selfie cam, and boomsound for the price of the Pixel 3a XL. This is not bad at all.

                The Desire is not the best though. That should have been like $200 considering the Umidigi S3 Pro and Ulefone Armor 3 both exist at $300. It's probably going to be sold at like Cricket, Boost, Metro, etc. That's a miss.

                The U19+ is making me STOKED for what they have in store for their flagship. That's the first HTC phone with an OLED panel excluding the Pixel 2. Here's hoping!

                    price is too big for a midranger.
                    But still better than puixel only problem is pixel have constant updates where HTC receives one per every 18 months.

                        Device has SD7xx series, HDR oled screen, 6Gb, 128Gb, stereo speakers, USB 3.1 (few chinese flagships dont have), QC4.0, telephoto , face ID and almost 4000mAh ...

                        People still complain. It costs less than $500 ....

                          beep beep telephone, 11 Jun 2019Are these the biggest scams of the year? Yep, people would be crazy to buy HTC nowadays. I won't rely on them to honor their promises for software support

                            So they finally decided to put a normal sized battery in a phone. Now if they include the 3.5mm jack too, they may have a worthy offering.

                              U19e comes at a price almost equivalent to Oneplus 7.

                                Not sure about Desire, but U19e looks very nice.
                                It is rival for Pixel 3a XL, so we can compare:
                                htc hast 128 against 64GB of storage
                                usb 3.1 against 2
                                better battery(?)
                                and on top of all that it is cheaper than that and looking better

                                  This phone will be a dead meat among its Chinese and Korean competitors; seems like HTC is not much interested in it's survival...

                                    I think the prices need to be less by $50 if they want to survive. Earth can survive without HTC.

                                      I just really wish that any Company still made at least one 16:9 screen ratio model.

                                        HTC U19e seems to be great, a little pricy though!
