HTC first to add skins in android, first to implement dual camera, first to implement metal body, first to implimemt 3d camera add loads of features to camera that no company are able to implement till date. First to built smart phones It was really a innovation a company I need it back
@@Cydia0 HTC are already back, the U24 is a very impressive phone. Reviewers refer to them as "mid range" because they are cheaper to buy, but in terms of specs and performance they pretty much match the latest iPhone and Samsung and the others.
@123whatsYOURname that was not really what I meant. Those cameras were fine back then. But they faded and eventually only had a pink fade over each and every photo. Eventually, you could only take pink clouded pictures. That's the only reason I changed the phone after two years, because otherwise, I was very happy with the M7, but I couldn't take a decent picture with it anymore.
Decided to buy this as it was on sale at around 280€. This caught my attention pretty much by accident last summer when I randomly thought to check what happened to HTC. Back then it was around 400€ and the specs seemed pretty good at that price point, as it had some old school features I'd appreciate. Though reading through a few reviews did not really impress. And its huge. I wish there was something in the sub 5" category - with a physical two phase shutter button.
I've gotta say I really like the phone finder feature on the website. This was the only phone I could find with a headphone jack, 8+gb ram, 256gb storage, a microsd slot, and a 108mp camera with OIS. Coming from a BLU G91 max this is a bit pricey for the specs but it's the only thing that fits my requirements!
I'm planning on getting it as well because I want a headphone jack, SD card slot, wireless charging and don't care much about taking photos or playing games. I'll likely keep refresh rate lower as well for battery life. Just not a lot of options that fit those things.
Also, I had the Blu F91 5g, which also had all those options and, honestly, I frickin loved it! But I dropped it face down on concrete and busted the screen. I considered just buying another one of it, but it only has android 11 and doesn't get updates.
@@austinetheridge3743 yeah I think I saw the F91 before, but it doesn't have the same camera quality or OIS. I'd also prefer a newer version of android of course. I have an HTC u23 now and I really like it. My only complaints so far are that you can't open the camera from the lock screen, and the headphone jack is on the top which is just kinda weird. Other than that it's great!
Just wanted to point out that the screen does do HDR, and accepts HLG input fro TH-cam. It also has stereo speakers, the main one shown in the video, and the phone receiver one, just above the selfie camera, so it does do stereo sound.
Glad to see HTC back. I wish they made a true Pro or Ultra model with a bigger battery, better display, camera, smaller bezels, and stereo speakers. We need something else besides Apple and Samsung in the US.
Once I read, htc sold desire brands to Chinese companies, to continue selling phones. So htc now is not truly htc like before 😅 don't expect to much guys
I wish they offered the BIG digital clock like they did on the Vivid. It was my favorite feature on the htc. Also loved how the weather would come over your screen and lock screen. Like if you had rain in your area, your lock screen or wall paper would show rain and thunder and you could see the water droplets on the screen itself 😂 or when you open the phone, clouds would come over the screen for a second. Mannnn I still think about to this day
This is obviously not the old HTC but I for one would like some variety back in the smartphone market. There used to be many players back in the day but now it's just Samsung and Apple or the Chinese brands. There's not a whole lot of options to choose from if you decide to buy a good phone.
Man i uesd to use it until last year till i start getting network & wifi connection. After using for 5 years I faced a problem where my wifi stopped connecting and then my mobile network stopped working then my phone didn't restart properly and when it did was asking for some password to move forward. I then searched on google and found that there was a modem chipset problem in u11. Many users experienced this in their 1st or 2nd year of use but I got it after using for 5 yrs. Due to this i had to purchase Nothing phone 1 which is just fine but my unit restarts like 8-10times a day :( . I really miss using my u11 in red color. I still have it along with my m7 & desire (bravo from 2011).
I've owned many phones because i use two and HTC has given me the least issues. Out of the non iphones they were always my favorite and customer service the one time I used it for my HTC was s tier. Considering this as my travel phone since it's relatively affordable
Guys support these companies need more competition in the smartphone market. The reason for smartphone prices is to go up every year because of a lack of competition in the market.
I hope HTC changes their design. I mean, they are trying to copy the current competition, rather than stand out from it. Iphone continues its iconic look, some android phones are slightly deviating away from Samsung's design, Pixel created it's own new look by its 6 series. HTC should atleast create a new look for its smartphones. Why? Because it's the first thing people see. I know HTC can definitely improve in terms of specs. My dad had an HTC phone way back 2015 and he loved it. I really thought the company 'died' but it's a good thing it's making a comeback! (just like Nokia, but Nokia has a long way to go)
HTC didn't die, Google stole two of it's main designers (and more of their team) in 2018, so the company stopped making phones for a couple of years and focused on virtual reality systems and accessories (The Vive) instead. The early Pixels in particular were basically just rebranded HTC phone designs. And I don't know why you think they are trying to copy anyone, especially since they are one of the few who offers an earbud plug and extended storage with a micro SD slot. I recently had the U23 Pro in my hands and it is pretty much like the U11 and U12+ in looks and feel. Two classic flagship HTC phones that were gorgeous and I'm still using (and I drop a lot of stuff).
True Words! Had my M7 until 5 years later. Didnt switch because it broke,coz it still works, but as to keep my promise: I will not buy another phone until 5 years later. U12+ was my next.
HTC without thier Htc sense skin and thier innovative iconic design and a unique feature felt like a body without a soul.That's the same mistake nokia did so please don't repeat that mistake.
Wow!!!Yesterday I was just having a conversation about HTC because I had 2 HTC phones years ago & I don't hear any news about them anymore...Hopefully their product does well...
The quality HTC used to have on their phones was top notch, no one could come close. Both them and LG are missing in the phone industry. Buuut it seems like HTC still hasn't figured out where to put focus :/ perfect example of what team of people can do to such a huge and successful company. The "I'm older I know better " mentality,
I searched for a 2021 or newer Android phone, with an oled display, memory card slot, headphone jack and wireless charging. I was left with just 11 choices. Sony, at twice the price of the HTC, and Infinix which I have never heard of. So, is there a 'better option' for me, if the specs I mentioned are must-haves, and I'm not willing to spend $1000+ on a phone?
Well no, not if you can't do without the 3.5mm jack. And it will be worsening moving on... I abandoned it 4 years ago when I got my beloved Mate 20 Pro and tbh never longed for it since.
The reason I wanted a headphone jack is because I hate in-ear earbuds. Maybe I have strange ear canals, but I have 3 different pairs, Soundcore Liberty 4, Technics AZ60 Mark 2, and a third pair from Xiaomi, and all of them push themselves out of my ears, regardless of the silicone tips I try. When I'm in a meeting, I constantly have to push them back in every 3 or 4 minutes. I also have two wireless "full" headphones, one on-ear from JBL and one over-ear from Sony. But I use headphones all day long, and those becomes very uncomfortable after a while. ***** But I think I finally found a solution. I've now bought a pair of 1MORE OpenFit S50 open-ear buds. They are very light, very comfortable, and they stay in place because of the hook, they don't go inside the ear canal. I've only had them for a few days, but I think I'll keep using these. Also because these finally last the entire workday on a single charge. The Soundcore and Technics only last between 4 and 6 hours.
I bought and owned one of the first HTC phones one8 sadly it died after a android update over a year ago, it the battery and all the abuse lasted me over 8 years made me cry I will never own such a great phone again. I would recommend anyone buy one of HTC phones if I had the income I certainly would + I still have my original one in a drawer RIP. Thank You HTC
Where is HTC Sense??? I want HTC Sense with Blinkfeed back! And yes I agree that they should just do what their fans want which is to relaunch the One M7 with 2023/2024 specs
@@raimimar4488 - I recently bought a Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite SM-T220 tablet (8.7" screen), and even with 6 GB of RAM, it is the slowest piece of crap I've ever had the misfortune of owning. Not only that but the amount of Samsung bloatware on it is disgusting, and invasive! In order to access your Samsung account, they demand you supply a phone number -- despite that the tablet only has WiFi. I have to keep reminding myself that I don't have the money to buy another tablet so I don't take a hammer to it. I've been repairing and upgrading computers for the last twenty years and and mobile devices for the last fifteen, so it really takes a lot to make me lose my patience like this. I wish my old Asus tablet could be unlocked so I could root it and install something newer than Android 7 on it. Even with Google bloatware on it, it ran circles around the Samsung garbage I now have. The flipping thing takes about 5 minutes to reboot, probably because of all of the bloatware I can't remove from it. I will never waste money on a Samsung mobile device again! And although I always use Mac computers, I can’t stand the dumbed down iOS of iPhones and iPads.
They still make phones? or is this he firs phone they have made in years? I am using the HTC one (I think M7 is the name, the on before the M8), and it works surprisingly well in 2023 (bought it for £30 at a pawn shop), so I am very curious about this U23.
Yes, they made the U11 in 2017, and the U12+ in 2018, until Google bought (aka stole) their main design team (for a crap load of money though). Then in 2020, they released the HTC Desire 20 Pro, and the HTC Desire 22 Pro in 2022. The U23 Pro was released in 2023. No Sense UI on the phones unfortunately though since the U12+ in 2018 (their last with the original design team). But the U23 Pro I spent a couple of hours with last week, had only stock Android 13, no bloatware, and I didn't miss the Sense UI interface as much as I thought I would. It was very smooth to operate. I ordered one in red and just waiting for it to arrive.
despite the nostalgic brand name, an A series Pixel would've been a better benchmark for HTC to follow suit. Im wondering if there are anyone makes a Gcam mod for this model, it would recompensate from the lacklustre performance of the camera itself
I wish htc made a new htc one max with upgraded specs, brighter display, boom sound front facing speakers, hifi dac, headphone jack, better finger print scanner, micro sd card slot and usb c with a larger battery. I still have my htc one max but the gold pins on the sim card reader broke when I was trying to take out the sim card since the sim card got stuck in the phone when I was using a sim card adapter. I even have my htc one m9 as well. I really like the size of the htc one max and the metal back on my htc one max with a latch on the side of the phone to access the sim card slot and micro sd card slot.
Considering how much it costs in my country. I'd rather buy 3 SD865/870 phones for the same price. Especially after seeing the thermal stress test and camera quality.
Used to be a huge fun of HTC. Glad it's back.
Still got my HTC tilt, tilt 2 and HTC one m9
But U23 Pro shows that HTC isn't competing
@@DarkPa1adin nah they ain't, it's just saying "Hi, we still exist"

The build quality of the M7/M8 phones were really impressive. I'd like to see them reboot that design as well

just ban all china phones then 😂
😂😂 hear he hear he

Or any phone for that matter

does anybody know if this phone supports the HTC transfer app, you know to basically clone your old HTC to a new one ?
To this day, the HTC One M8 is still my favorite phone of all time
Nice Review !
Intro Music ? :D
If HTC would simply listen to their fan Base. They would make a Modern M8. Front Facing Speakers, Modern Camera, the works
Damn htc and gsmarena. Brings me back 😭
Only EIS in the video is really a turn off for 549 euro
im very happy with it, 🎉🎉
If they make phone like m7-m9 again with proper specs, good camera, compact size (under 6.1) and affordable (under 500), i will definitely buy it
The phone landscape is a lesser one without companies like HTC... the One (M7) is still one of the best looking phones ever released.
Can anyone let me know if it has video out over the usbc port?
Doesn’t support eSIM? I am interested in the u24 pro
I swear if they released the one m8 ppl would still buy it.... I miss metal phones 😭😭😭
despite the nostalgic brand name, an A series Pixel would've been a better benchmark for HTC to follow suit. Im wondering if there are anyone makes a Gcam mod for this model, it would recompensate from the lacklustre performance of the camera itself
Gcam won't improve the battery management
It has too many compromises for the G cam mod to redeem it as a phone
Do you know that the Pixel (first and latest versions) were/are designed by part of HTC's original team, who were stolen by Google in 2018?
I wish htc made a new htc one max with upgraded specs, brighter display, boom sound front facing speakers, hifi dac, headphone jack, better finger print scanner, micro sd card slot and usb c with a larger battery. I still have my htc one max but the gold pins on the sim card reader broke when I was trying to take out the sim card since the sim card got stuck in the phone when I was using a sim card adapter. I even have my htc one m9 as well. I really like the size of the htc one max and the metal back on my htc one max with a latch on the side of the phone to access the sim card slot and micro sd card slot.
HTC is still living in 2019
Htc, lg, sony these are the giant phone brands about 10 years ago
screen size is big for liking, 6.1-6.4 is a sweet spot.
Considering how much it costs in my country. I'd rather buy 3 SD865/870 phones for the same price. Especially after seeing the thermal stress test and camera quality.
