HTC, with an aim to come back in the mobile world and maintain its stand, has introduced two new mid-range smartphones the HTC U20 5G and the HTC Desire 20 Pro in Taiwan. The HTC U20 5G is the company's first 5G smartphone and the Desire 20 Pro is another member in the company's Desire series.
Both running on the Snapdragon 765G. Both phones come with quad-camera setups, 5,000 mAh batteries. The U20 5G comes as the latest midrange offering in HTC’s lineup and the company's first phone to boast 5G connectivity. It’s built around a 6.8-inch FHD+ LCD with a punch-hole cutout for the 32MP selfie cam. It also boasts a 20:9 aspect ratio.

Under the hood, the Snapdragon 765G is paired with 8GB RAM and 256GB storage which is expandable via the microSD slot.
There is a beefy 5,000 mAh battery with 18W wired charging through the large cell has its drawbacks as the device weighs in at a hefty 215 grams. The phone boots Android 10 and also packs NFC.

Acoording to the firm, Desire 20 Pro is the lower standing phone is HTC’s new duo. It packs a 6.5″ FHD+ LCD with a 25MP selfie camera and a 19.5:9 aspect ratio. Jumping to the back we find the exact same quad setup from the U20 5G. The fingerprint scanner is also placed on the back which features a nice gradient design.
If HTC’s first 2020 smartphones feel a bit short on the wow factor, it’s because they practically are. At this point, it might simply be banking on its name to even make people curious if it has anything left to offer to the mobile market. It might, however, also try to entice buyers with price, like the HTC Desire 20 Pro’s 8,990 TWD ($303) price tag.
The HTC U20 5G, on the other hand, will cost 18,990 TWD ($640), which isn’t that bad for the specs. Only question now is whether HTC will sell either or both in the US and international markets.
