According to a previous teaser from HTC, it will launch the U24 / Pro smartphones on June 12. Now a poster of the HTC U24 Pro has leaked, revealing the design language of the model.

HTC U24 Pro design and rumored specs

As you can see from the image, the phone comes with a triple rear camera setup on the back and a centered punch-hole camera in the front. Two of the three cameras rest inside a pill-shaped module and the third one is separated from the other two. A pill-shaped flash is placed outside the camera module. Interestingly, the camera system has one less lens as compared to the HTC U23 Pro, which was launched in May last year. The predecessor had a 2MP depth sensor, which the company might have removed.

The screen also appears to be curved on the sides, however, it can be due to the reflection from a certain angle. The chin on the bottom could be slightly wider than the one on the top. The image also shows a rounded middle frame while the predecessor comes with a flat design. Based on previous rumors, it could be a 6.8″ FHD+ (1080 x 2436) OLED display.

speaking of the internals, the phone is expected to be powered by the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 chipset, which is an upgrade from last year’s Snapdragon 7 Gen 1. The phone has already appeared on GeekBench confirming that there will be a 12 GB RAM variant of the phone. It could be paired with 256GB storage.

What to expect?

To give you an idea about what to expect, the U23 Pro comes with a 108MP main, 8MP ultrawide, 5MP macro, and a 2MP depth camera. There is a 32MP centered punch-hole camera in the front.

There is a 4600mAh battery that supports 30W fast charging. Unlike many in its range, the U23 Pro offers 15W wireless charging support. So the U24 Pro could also support wireless charging alongside a slightly faster wired charging and possibly a 5000mAh battery.

That being said, the poster is still a leaked one, so take the design shift with a pinch of salt. More details will be shared soon.

A fresh HTC teaser was recently shared. This revealed that the company is gearing up to launch new smartphones in the market. The device in question is expected to be the HTC U24 series, and now, we finally have an official launch date. So let’s check it out.

HTC U24 Series Launch Date

The company shared an official launch date on its official X account (formerly Twitter). Looking at the teaser, HTC is set to unveil a new smartphone on 12th June 2024. The teaser shares an image of the device from the side along with the words “Coming Soon” underneath. While the official poster image does not officially state that it is the U24 series, the tweet carries the tag “AllForU”. So this is likely the HTC U24 or U24 Pro models.

To recall, the HTC U24 and U24 Pro were spotted on the GeekBench listing. The higher end Pro model also surfaced on the Google Play Console listing. Based on what we know so far, the smartphone is equipped with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 SoC, which is paired with at least one model with 12GB of RAM. So it is an upper mid-range model and gets an upgrade from the Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 on last year’s HTC U23.

This listing also confirms that it runs on the Android 14 OS out of the box. A Bluetooth SIG sighting confirmed support for Bluetooth 5.3. On Google Play Console, it was seen with a 1080×2436 resolution display that could be a tall 6.78-inch panel. This would likely offer a 120Hz refresh rate. The device is expected to sport an OLED screen. The U23 series housed a 4,600mAH battery pack. So the U24 lineup might offer a larger 5,000mAh battery pack. This is all the information we have at the moment, so stick around for more as we will be covering the launch tomorrow.
