based on your comments you probably also don't know you can also take a panoramic selfie not just landscape panoramic or turn on flash for the selfies if you are not in an area with good lighting.
when you turn on flash it will flash the screen white to light up your face.

the 6 post below are all to help you to find your way in a HTC 2017 phone.
i'm just adding this one for extra stuff for the camera that you may not know where they are.
For maco-night shot and fast moving objects mode....
they can all be found in Pro mode..
with the back camera on, tap the 2 vertical lines on the left>scole down to "Pro" and tap it.> on the screen you will see all you need to take pictures like a pro.

if your last HTC phone was the HTC ONE X no wonder you are lost.
my 5 posts below is dedicated to helping you with the new Sense UI and the things you said the phone didn't have.
also, you should download your HTC U11 user manual and give it a read it would definitely help you.
If you want my help with anything I can be found in the U Ultra Forum as I own the HTC Ultra which is running the same UI version as the U11.

if you pull down twice from the top you would see that you have more toggles and then swipe left to see even more. you can even tap the pencil icon to edit the layout of what you see.
and as for you saying they can only toggle on & off stuff, your are wrong again. trying holding your finger on any of the toggles and see what happens.

I don't have the dual sim model of the U Ultra
but I'm 90% sure if you swipe down on the home screen to bring up the quick lunch tray you can....
tap on the settings gear>go to Dual network manager
and from there pick your defaults.

If you want the "face soften" for the front camera,
tap to flip the camera to the front> tap the 2 vertical lines on the left > in the selfie photo section you should see "Makeup" that is the slider you want to turn on.
if you are having red eye problems, turn on HDR auto

the default email app has support for hotmail and office 365
when you open the app you just have to tap the 3dots>go to add account and you will see
Exchange ActiveSync for HTC Sence
Gmail
Yahoo Mail
Outlook.com
Other (pop3/IMAP)
you just have to pick the correct one & set it up.
I have my work 365 account, personal gmail & live mail all going to the one default mail app.
as for setting the sync time.....
after you setup your accounts, pick the account you want to set the sync time for>tap the 3 dots>tap settings>tap sync, send & receive.
once in there you can change it to how you like.

Thoroughly disappointed after waiting for more than 6 months for this phone. The phone is not much different from my Previous HTC One X which is more than 5 years old in terms of functionality. Some basic things missing are Cannot set default SIM, you have to select everytime you make a call, the default widgets are very few, sense companion continues to give suggestion even though u have disabled it. There is no Tasks app and obviously cannot sync with Outlook. The top menu swipe down has few links only and has to facility to only switch on and off, the option to go to the respective setting is not there.
My earlier phone camera has the option to fine tune the photos such as Face Soften, red eye reduction, which is not present in U11. The mail app does not have the option to set sync timings.
Looks like they have given the basic Android functions without including those that was already available in earlier HTC versions.
Thoroughly disappointed, unless these are taken care in the software update.

Still waiting for updates. Very pleased with phone. Great audio. I bought for functionality... I don't care about bezels!

I have had virtually every htc flagship since the m7 but my U11 just feels so vulnerable to breaking and it's a horrible feeling to be worried about the glass breaking whereas with the aluminium build ones they were like tanks and htc was known for its classic aluminium build.

I do think the build quality of my U11 is excellent but I admit I am not a fan of the glass build and I am worried about dropping it all the time but I do have a tempered glass screen protector on it and I use a spigen rugged armour case also with a carbon skin on the back of the phone for even more protection.
I do wish it was made of aluminium like all previous htc flagships.

Very happy with my HTC U11. Truly fantastic camera in all lighting conditions, great battery life (6 hours screen-on-time), bright display, incredible speed when opening apps and browsing, and I like the Sense customization too. What I like the most are the speakers which provides an amazing sound for listening to Spotify and watching YouTube videos. I think this phone is quietly the best phone of 2017, for me that's definitely the case.

This phone disappoints me in terms of the durability quality. I just bought a U11 and immerse it into a basin of water. No even 5 minutes the phones shut down already and the next day there are visible water vapor in the camera lens. The speakers sounds also distorted due to water entering the speakers. IT SUCKS!
