Not a comprehensive search , not many phones gave this chipset (I found the Motorola Edge 40 but as a flip phone price artificially higher than expected due to it being a flip)

Xiaomi 13 Lite used in this comparisons see ballpark benchmark expectations

    Only HTC logo? I wonder where is it manufactured? If China then i pass. I have a moral rule not to buy things from hostile countries that dream to destroy the West:)

          The decisions to use the Snap 7 Gen 1 instead of the 7+ Gen 2 and not to include a charger will be the final nails in HTCs coffin. Terrible decisions considering they absolutely need this phone to sell well

          Also needs a price drop. €530 is too much. Should be €400 otherwise people will just get the Samsung A54

                  Oooohhh, can't wait for this. Would love to see how 7 Gen 1 performs with HTC's skin.

                      No heat issues, very good endurance.

                      Just because MiUI gave bad reputation to this chip (not first chip to be victim of MiUI, many helio P series were too) , xiaominions get mad.

                      Mi 13 Lite costs same and much inferior.

                        Finally.

                        Way better than mi 13 lite. Only €50 more.
                        With Qi charging, IP68, better audio, better UI , double storage.

                                And then everyone will definitely be so surprised when GSMArena gives it a rating of 1.2 stars. /s

                                Seriously, HTC's corpse is rotting on the floor and the people that bought them are still trying to perform CPR. The company is dead, let it go. If you must, take their assets and absorb it into a new subdivision: a new phone company. Nobody that still cares about HTC likes this phone. They want their old HTC, and that HTC will never come back. Time to move on.
