Final Thought
The HTC Desire 21 Pro 5G reminds me of the good old time of android phones early introduction in Nigeria. If you can recall, HTC was among the best options to consider then.
Even when they had it up with quality i just didn’t imagine they will go down on the list for a while. However, being at the top is no guarantee of all-around excellence when it comes to customer satisfaction.
Personally, i love the taste and feel of the HTC Desire 21 Pro 5G. The features on the ecosystem are also not disappointing too.
