HTC has announced the new HTC Desire 20+ in Taiwan, following the launch of the HTC Desire 20 Pro and HTC U20 5G. This new phone is a statement of intent for anyone who has scrapped the brand. The Desire 20+ is a mid-range phone based on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 720G chipset and a quad-lens rear camera, and while the launch doesn’t specifically mention it, the Snapdragon 720G should offer a reasonable gaming experience as well. .

The 6.5-inch display on the HTC Desire 20+ only offers 720×1600 HD + pixels, albeit in a super-wide 20: 9 aspect ratio, but FHD video capture is supported, backed by a reasonable 6GB RAM. In fact, the main camera is 48MP capable, flanked by additional lenses for wide-angle, depth, and macro. The front camera is a 16MP which is not bad at all. All cameras support Auto-HDR and the rear matrix offers a dual-LED flash.
Storage is 128GB out of the box, but there’s a microSD slot to double or even triple that figure. A rear-mounted fingerprint sensor, Bluetooth 5.0, A-GPS, NFC are present and correct too, creating a reasonable bouquet of connectivity at this price point. Surprisingly, there is a 3.5mm headphone jack at the bottom.
The outer shell of the HTC Desire 20+ is made of durable plastic with HTC’s trademark textured “twill” finish, which improves grip in the hand, while under the hood, a modest 5000 mAh battery is assisted by a power saving mode and Qualcomm Quick Charge 4.0.
All in all, this is one of the most “mid-range” phones you can imagine. Nothing is missing, but nothing is exceptional either. We can see that it is popular with younger users, but only if they find it in an increasingly crowded field of similar devices. Okay, but it will take a lot more than this to turn HTC’s fortunes around.
Pricing and availability
The HTC Desire 20+ is available from HTC Taiwan only in Dawn Orange or Twilight Black for TWD8490 ($ 295). There is no information on international availability at this time. The HTC Desire 20 Pro finally went on sale in Europe, so there is hope that the Desire 20+ will also come out of Taiwan.
