HTC U11

User opinions and reviews

Sort by:

Where I work I get access to newest and best mass produced handsets on the planet... Nexus 6p came out and after playing with one for about 2 weeks I got it and the same with handsets that followed (HTC 10, Pixel XL).

HTC u11 was not that convincing to start with... Lack of earphone jack and dual side glass are really not my thing.... I do prefer solid metal phone and this u11 is not.

What it is though, is in my opinion the best phone I played with this year (so far) and I am a proud owner of black 4gb version of it.

Yes it is not the most impressive screen on the market but it's still great. Yes it does have quite big frame around it (smaller than iPhone 8plus).

But let's jump in to what is so great about it:
- this camera on both pictures and video is just stunning in all conditions although 16mp front facing camera is a bit disappointing in low light conditions in video calls where HTC software doesn't do the magic.
- best speakers in a phone I used.
- absolutely stunning performance.
- for the first few days battery behaved as in gsma review but than Google and HTC software kicked in and now it's officially the longest lasting handset I used and by far even compared to pixel XL and by quite a bit.
- it does not sound as good and as loud as HTC 10 through usbc dac but still sounds much better than pretty much everything else on the market in Europe to that level that I use it with my pixel too - although it is better optimised on u11 (you can get it really cheap from HTC store and work on everything usbc I tried it on.

Geuenly great phone - won't regret if you get it.

PS I love the look of the back after first hesitation even if cover it all the time and only enjoy the beauty while cleaning it.

      I'm a big fan of HTC phones from the time I got my Desire S, and One ME.

      I'm planning for an upgrade. Is this worth the upgrade? I just don't like the no jack option.

        The day that HTC U11 announced that they get Android 8.0 for U11 I immediately trade my Samsung Galaxy S8 and bought this u11 but look at now ,the s8 is now rolling it's 8.0 version. What the heck HTC where is the 8.0 version you promised.

              HTC is making really good phones this year. U Ultra is a really good phone especially with the cheaper price now, and U11 is really a superb phone too. I try a lot of brands but when I use HTC I feel like I'm home, it feels familiar and I prefer the Sense software more than stock or Touchwiz etc. I'm also very glad to see that HTC finally is able to make an excellent camera in a phone. So I couldn't wish for more now. HTC for me it's the best!

                AnonD-699570, 12 Sep 2017I am sad to say I pre ordered my htcu11 I got it in June. W... moreEvery company has it's stories of bad service.

                Do you want my story about a Sammy Note5 that had a bad screen and how they refused to get it fixed although still under warranty?

                And I guess Sony and LG aren't perfect, either... that's life.

                But HTC had always made excellent phones. You can't bash them for one bad story.

                  Anonymous, 09 Sep 2017Sony XZ Premium or HTC U11!?!?Both good phones, but it depends on your own preferences, XZ Premium with a super high ppi and a more boxy design, or a more rounded U11 with superb colors. Unless there are features which one have over the other and which you really want, then it's easier to decide. I'd say it's a tough one, I like both phones.

                      I am sad to say I pre ordered my htcu11 I got it in June. Why am I sad you ask? From day one it would drop calls or I failed to get calls I assumed it was a sprint issue 15 days after I got it I reactivated my samsung phone ....all calls came through with no drop calls I then reactivated the u11 again drop calls, some calls not coming through. At this point i went back to sprint just to find out I was past my time to return it with no questions asked, I was told I had to send it to htc for repairs. That was in June after numerous calls to htc they finally said don't call us we will let you know when it has been repaired... it's been 4 months I still have no phone. Every other month they send me an email stating they are working hard to get this done. The following is the latest one I got.
                      We know how important having a working device is for you. We would like to apologize for the amount of time your repair service has taken and any inconvenience this may have caused. We want you to know that we have prioritized your repair ticket to ensure it is handled as quickly as possible. Cause of the delays is due to Repair location transition and the extreme weather. We are extreme working on sending the phone to you.
                      Now they are laying delays on bad weather. I am not a happy camper.

                        Anonymous, 09 Sep 2017Sony XZ Premium or HTC U11!?!?Haven't tried the premium but I can say the U11 is a great phone. Great build quality feel, great audio, and very smooth performance. I have the Solar Red 128 GB version and I have no complaints at all. Great Camera too!

                            Hello,help please .Demo HTC U 11 ,finger print doesn't work.And i can't delete Demo aplication.Thanks

                              Aadrian, 08 Sep 2017Same here and same for me!really don't know why everybody wants same phone like 90% of the world.
                              since i hate to be in that category (sheep)...usually i tend to go with good devices but less known. i had nokia n9 (meego) when everyone had iphone or any other model of nokia (symbian). was proud owner of blackberry z10 with fantastic bb10 OS when bb was dead. still have it and still runs. back in the days when everyone had nokias or eriksons i had QTEKS. I had a htc with slide keyboard. i had an iphone 3G. when noone knew what an iphone was. now got back to htc 10 last year (fantastic device). this year htc u11. its another league from htc 10..much better battery life. better screen. better camera. smother and faster. software polished with newer android. better sound. and is a beautiful phone to watch. if google buy htc, its great because google have better software support. htc have iphone quality comparable. samsung is way worst in quality than htc...

                                i bought mine from their website. bought last year htc 10. this year htc u11. till now 0 problems. free shipping for my county (portugal)

                                  Did anyone experience a Wi-Fi hanging problem with the HTC U11 middle east version?
                                  It started last month and only happens at home where I have Linksys EA6100 with both 2.5 & 5 Ghz SSID. But when the problem started I stop using 5 GHz but it didn't help.
                                  The issues are as follows.
                                  a) notification Wi-Fi icon stays connected but not network
                                  b) the setting of Wi-Fi shows connected to my SSID
                                  c) does not show any list in Wi-Fi even the connected one
                                  d) can not switch off or on the Wi-Fi
                                  e) shows reboot logo but the phone does not switch off or reboot when you try for reboot
                                  f) the only option is to hold the power and Vol down button for 20 Sec to force switch off.

                                  I wanted to go to HTC but the first thing will be resetting the phone. Which I don't want to happen due to the pain of recovering 40-45 GB data.
                                  Is this Linksys-HTC bug? If the problem is there for other U11 users then its a bug with HTC alone. My other HTC M7/Mini2/M9+ all are working fine.
