HTC has pushed out a new update to the Edge Sense app that brings along a couple of changes, key among which is support for Alexa. This means that U11 users will now be able to launch the digital assistant by squeezing their phone.

That's because the feature isn't officially live yet - HTC USA confirmed in a tweet that U11 users will be able to access Alexa on their units starting July 17.

Sony made the camera perfection for life photo, don't miss an action don't miss any moments. HTC just can't compete with Sony.

At least HTC has the balls to innovate unlike your Sony which by comparison is still stuck in the stone age lol
