The HTC U23 Pro’s leaks have revealed that the device may come with a 120Hz display. It’s expected to be an AMOLED panel and it may as well have some sort of protection.

As per Geekbench, the device will be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 chipset, which is similar to the Snapdragon 778G+ chipset. Although it’s old, we have seen the chip perform better in day-to-day talks.

That said, expect the Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 inside the U23 Pro to be a bit more efficient since it’s fairly new. The phone will also have 12GB of RAM and is expected to come with 256GB of base storage.

Moving to the cameras, rumors have it that HTC may employ a quad-camera unit on the U23 Pro. The primary lens will be a 108MP sensor that may have OIS support. It will be assisted by a wide-angle lens, a depth, and a macro lens.

The smartphone may pack a 4,500mAh cell with support for wired and wireless charging. It is expected to boot on Android 13 OS out of the box.
