Pros

Design

The U23 Pro’s display is coated in Gorilla Glass Victus, which is nice and tough for a mid-range phone.

Authentication is handled by a fingerprint sensor housed within the power button on the right edge.

Battery

The HTC U23 Pro is a competent mid-ranger with clean software, wireless charging, and IP67 certification.

Software

You also get almost flagship-level dust and water certification, courtesy of an IP67 rating.

You can also get one straight from HTC.com in a bunch of other countries.

Audio

You do get a pair of loud (if somewhat tinny) stereo speakers.

That extra thickness enables the inclusion of a 3.5mm headphone jack on the top edge.

Availability

Availability seems pretty good with Amazon US, Canada, UK and Germany listings.

Cons

Camera

The camera experience is decent at best. [source: gsmarena]

Design

Unnecessarily chunky design. [source: techadvisor]

Display

Its display could be brighter and more color-accurate; the thick bezels are quite noticeable. [source: gsmarena]

The high refresh rate handling leaves a lot to be desired. [source: gsmarena]

Gaudy unbalanced OLED display. [source: techadvisor]

Battery

The battery life is disappointing. [source: gsmarena]
