While the U20 5G gets a Snapdragon 765G and 5G support, the Desire 20 Pro is powered by a Snapdragon 665 SoC.

HTC has previously been rumored to launch a 5G smartphone of its own in 2020, and perhaps the U20 5G is that one. However, this is actually just a mid-range smartphone instead of a flagship like many people expected. The HTC U20 5G was launched exclusively for the Taiwan market and there is no word on its availability and pricing in other markets.

HTC U20 5G is equipped with a 6.8-inch LCD screen on the front, featuring  Full-HD+ resolution, a 20:9 screen ratio, and using a punch-hole design with a single 32MP selfie camera.

On the back, the device is equipped with a quad-camera array including a 48MP f / 1.8 wide-angle camera, an 8MP f / 2.2 ultra-wide-angle camera with a 118-degree viewing angle, a 2MMP f / 2.4 depth-sensing camera and a macro 2MP f / 2.4 camera.

In terms of performance, HTC U20 5G is equipped with Snapdragon 765G chip, aided by 8GB RAM and 256GB storage. The battery of the device has a capacity of 5000mAh and it supports 18W fast charging with QC 4.0 technology. It runs on Android 10 out of the box.

The back of the device is where the main camera of 48MP + 8MP + 2MP + 2MP is located vertically similar to the U20 5G. This back is designed with eye-catching diagonal stripes, looks like high-grade carbon fibers.

The HTC Desire 20 Pro is equipped with Snapdragon 665 chip and available in a single model with 6GB RAM + 128GB memory.
