HTC has officially unveiled the U23 Pro smartphone, which was previously known thanks to several leaks. The announcement, as expected, took place today - May 18. The new smartphone received SoC Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 and, although this is a mid-budget platform, the device has become the most powerful for the Taiwanese manufacturer: there have been no flagship models in the HTC line for a long time. The HTC U23 Pro features a 6.7-inch FullHD+ OLED screen with a 120Hz refresh rate and Gorilla Glass Victus protection. By the way, the fingerprint sensor is not built into the screen, but is located in the power button on the right side panel.

The amount of RAM of the device is 8 or 12 GB, and built-in - 256 GB, there is also a microSD slot. The smartphone received four rear cameras at once: 108-megapixel with optical image stabilization, 8-megapixel ultra-wide-angle, 5-megapixel for macro photography and 2-megapixel with a depth sensor. The front camera has a resolution of 32 MP. HTC U23 Pro has a 4600 mAh battery that supports 30W wired fast charging and 15W wireless charging. Reverse wireless charging is also provided. The smartphone is IP67 dust and water resistant and runs Android 13 out of the box.

The HTC U23 Pro is truly compatible with HTC’s Viverse Metaverse: it comes preloaded with the Viverse app and supports the Vive XR Elite mixed reality headset, which can be purchased separately. The smartphone is presented in two colors: black and white. The 8GB model costs NT$16,990 (about $550), while the 12GB model costs NT$17,990 (about $585). The HTC U23 Pro is already available for order on Taiwan’s HTC website, but no other markets have been announced yet.

Thermaltake introduced the Tower 200 Mini Chassis to build a fairly compact, but at the same time, if necessary, and the most productive PCs.

The body dimensions are 537 x 300 x 280 mm and it weighs 7.7 kg. As you can see from the photographs, the case has not the most familiar shape of a vertically elongated parallelepiped.

Despite the relatively small dimensions, a video card up to 380 mm long will fit inside, that is, apparently, any modern video card. At least, the manufacturer does not talk about any restrictions on the thickness of the adapter. In addition, there is enough space inside for a standard power supply up to 220mm long and even a liquid cooling system with a 280mm radiator.

The case itself offers a pair of pre-installed 140mm fans, a 3.9-inch display for displaying various useful information about the PC, space for a CPU cooler up to 200mm high, dust filters, space for two 2.5-inch drives and two 3.5-inch format, three expansion slots, a USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 port and a pair of USB 3.2 on the front panel and two color options: white or black.

The first renderings of the Realme C53 smartphone have appeared on the Web, and it is clear what inspired the company’s designers.

Realme smartphones have long been quite original, but for some reason the company decided not just to look at the iPhone once again, but almost copy it.

It is expected that the device will receive a 6.74-inch IPS screen. The teardrop notch hints at the budget, and although the price is still unknown, other parameters also indicate this. In particular, SoC UnisoT612. Also, the device will receive 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of flash memory.

The main camera will have a resolution of 50 megapixels, and the additional one will be only 0.3 megapixels, which also speaks volumes about the positioning of the smartphone.

From the rest, we can distinguish a battery with a capacity of 5000 mAh with 33-watt charging and a case thickness of only 7.59 mm.
