Lolo, 10 Jan 2017 Camera Megapixel Support Up to 16 MP dual camera Up ... moreYou are talking about hardware support though. The Nokia 808 only had a single core 1.3GHz processor and that had a 41 megapixel camera. It's all about the software and the image sensor.

    I smell a flop. Oh wait, that's just the smell of HTC.

        I dont understand why HTC cant take old M7 body, put the latest tech inside and its good. Its perfect size (not too big) and nice design overall. Reason why apple makes profit is they have rather old hardware and keep upgrading it rather than throwing new and new models. Also key argument for apple buyers is the SIZE of the phone. It cant be so big that your thumb doesn't reach top corner comfortably.

          The battery for the U ultra is OK but concerned about the size of the top n bottom bezel's even though it seems there will be ffs.

            Lolo, 10 Jan 2017 Camera Megapixel Support Up to 16 MP dual camera Up ... moreSimilarly the cortex chip in Nokia 808 or 1020 could only support 20 MP camera but they had 41 MP so there is probably some way to bypass the MP issue in phones

              This doesn't make sense, with the much improved Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 SoC but HTC still only equip it's flagship with a measly 4GB RAM & 64GB internal storage is disgracefully. This seems like no upgrade from last year's HTC 10.

                and again... 5.2 and low battery like all your old models, its a shame that HTC have so good phones with poor battery, I'll never buy it again for that, never

                  If the finger print sensor is going to be on the back of htc u ultra does that suggest that we're be getting a dual front firing speakers back.

If you check the the specs from SOC manufacturers you will find the count of megapixels the SOC supports. After all, the higher the number of pixels, the more data needs to be transferred.

                        Historically it was a long was from proprietary combo jack ( for charging, audio and connection to PC) to separate 3.5 mm standard audio jack. And 3.5 mm jack was a great idea highly appreciated by phone users all around the world. Now we are moving back to old days of primitive phones / smartphones. What will be the next step? Ditching USB-C and moving back to proprietary jacks like it was 15 years ago? Such and idiotic decision. Clear regress instead of progress. I personally will never buy any smartphone without 3.5 jack. Not only because I need one but also because I totally disagree with removal decision and not going to support it with my own money.

I feel like Htc doesnt have talent left anymore and theyre sticking to what they always did to hide it. Except now phones from Xiaomi and Huaweii are better and cheaper, so it doesnt work anymore.

I might be wrong, but we're not talking about the hardware encoding of video here, so in theory they could put in a module with 100 megapixels and it would work..

The performance will be always inferior comparing to Snapdragon counterparts and not only that, There will be less Custom ROMS available. So it's definitely a deal breaker for me.

                                        Ok, after reading this I see HTC now being the first company to announce/release a SD 835 phone...interesting.
