    【Question】
    Give the number of male users who use phone branded HTC. male refers to gender = 'M';

    【Evidence】
    male refers to gender = 'M';

    Please read and understand the database schema carefully, and generate an executable SQL based on the user's question and evidence. 

SQL: SELECT COUNT(T1.device_id) FROM gender_age AS T1 INNER JOIN phone_brand_device_model2 AS T2 ON T1.device_id = T2.device_id WHERE T1.gender = 'M' AND T2.phone_brand = 'HTC'
