At least there’s decent IP67 water resistance to balance that out. Not unwieldy by any stretch, but its large footprint lends itself to a heft that’s not too far off Apple’s biggest (and vastly more expensive) smartphones despite their glass and metal construction. The whole package, despite being plastic to the best of my knowledge, is surprisingly heavy at 205g. It’s alive and well on top of the device, with a second microphone beside it not too far from the one wisely positioned right by the cameras. Moving on from the backside for a second, the outer edges of the device house not only a fingerprint reader under the power button, but the still dearly missed headphone jack.

But what isn’t a mystery is how and why I’ve come to adore it after spending a solid week lugging it around on a bike, to the park, and around a shopping centre. What any of that means is truly a mystery. Releasing at £499/$499, the HTC U23 Pro doesn’t let a whole lot on with its name. Handy wireless charging Wireless charging is a neat addition that you don’t always see in the mid-range market.Capable camera setup The 108MP-led camera setup should suit most needs with wide, ultrawide and macro lenses.Great for binging video content The fast, fluid, and huge 6.7-inch 120Hz OLED screen is hard to look away from.
