HTC is back with exciting news! The company is all set to launch its new phone on June 12th. After many rumors and teasers, HTC confirmed the launch date and gave us a sneak peek of the phone. The teaser shows the phone’s side profile, revealing the power button, volume rockers, and camera module.
A Look at the Rumored HTC U24 Series
According to rumors, HTC is expected to introduce the U24 and U24 Pro smartphones. These new models will be the successors to last year’s U23 series. Recently, an HTC phone with the model number 2QDA100 appeared in a Geekbench listing. This listing revealed some exciting details about the phone, including a Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 SoC, 12GB of RAM, and Android 14. The phone also showed up in the Google Play Console database, confirming an FHD+ (1080 × 2436 pixels) display and other details.
Last year, HTC introduced the U23 and U23 Pro with Snapdragon 7 Gen 1. So, the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 in the U24 series should be a significant upgrade. We can also expect IP67 ratings for dust and water resistance in the U24 series, just like in the U23 series.
Launch Date and Time
HTC has confirmed that the phone will be introduced on June 12th at 8 AM Taiwan time (5:30 AM IST). So, next Wednesday, we will know all the details about the new phone.
HTC’s Return to the Indian Market

Although the post didn’t reveal the phone’s name or launch date, it is likely to be an HTC U24 series model. This launch will mark HTC’s return to the Indian market. The company stopped its operations in India a few years ago after facing tough competition from Chinese smartphone makers.
The teaser post on X (formerly Twitter) by HTC Vive announced the launch of a new product in India. The post used the hashtag “Allforu” with a “coming soon” tag. The image in the post showed a device with “Al24U” text. While HTC hasn’t disclosed the exact name of the phone, it seems to be an HTC U24 series smartphone.
