It is aimed at buyers who want a practical everyday handset with a capable mid-tier-style feature set rather than premium flagship hardware.
The phone runs Android 8.1 Oreo with HTC Sense UI and is finished in black. Its 5.7-inch IPS LCD panel offers a 720 x 1440 pixel resolution at roughly 282 PPI, with capacitive multitouch support and 16 million colours. Nano-SIM slots support dual-SIM, dual-standby operation.

The memory card slot is not available, so storage is limited to the built-in capacity.
Photography is handled by a 13 MP rear camera with phase-detection autofocus and LED flash, supporting geo-tagging, HDR, panorama and video recording up to 2160p at 30fps or 1080p at 30fps. The 13 MP front camera also includes HDR, LED flash and 1080p video at 30fps, which suits video calls and self-portraits.
