HTC U Ultra is now official: Sapphire glass, Snapdragon 821, 5.7" QHD display

12 January 2017
UareU is one catchy slogan, but we tend to like our 3.5mm jacks - none to be found on the Ultra.

Well I like my iPhone 6s Plus! The 7 and 7 plus only have a newer chipset but essentially is the same as 6s plus and since I got the 128gig model I'm flush with capacity whilst my iPad Pro 9x7 has 256 gig of cpu memory!😎

        yuhuu, 12 Jan 2017always? M7, M8, 10 best phones at their time! Samsung fanboyHow do you know he's a Samsung fanboy? I like Samsung and I'm also very appreciative of everything HTC has done for the smartphone industry, he's probably an arrogant Nokia or Sony fanboy they are the worst of the worst.

HTC's almost vanilla android on htc 10 is a big factor and up to now after 7 mos from buying htc 10, it's still super snappy and no lags, perfect battery and camera. It's what they call a bang for your buck. People i think are just too afraid too switch brands. If I'm gonna switch brands i'll consider getting an iphone :)

                It’s the second hardest material in the world after diamond and the fact that it’s very hard to scratch means that it’s much less likely to break than competitors like Gorilla Glass or Dragontrail. GTAT claims that it’s around three times stronger, but it’s the scratch resistance that really matters.

                  I'm loving the design, 3D audio, Usonic, sense companion and the combined 16mp with ultra pixel mode.
                  But I think there is a flagship coming after Samsung hmm, nice move HTC.

                    They never talked about the performance and other technical aspects of the mobile. Clearly the flagship is yet to arrive. They would never miss the latest Snapdragon.

                      Vic, 12 Jan 2017I think now it's obvious that HTC management must be fired.... moreI actually prefer this phone to HTC 10, in everyway it's far better soc is spd821, camera16 mega that can be turned ultra pixel, and body is well finished. I think many people just hate HTC whatever HTC does they must find mistakes. If u say it's too expensive I agree but that the phone is a crap...I totally disagree with you. Take a long google Pixel it's look very much an iPhone don't it? Why ain't u calling it a copy beside that Pixel google phone was made by HTC. Now adays many phones look alike. In fact I will buy this phone ahead of HTC 10. The only prob would be in the news s8, LG g6 and other flagship put out something better then this would be second thought so for now this phone rocks. Period!

                            The LG V20 didn't even sell all that well, yet here we have HTC cloning it (with an inferior ticker implementation and smaller battery).

                            At that price, with those specs, why not just wait for the 5.7" Galaxy S8?
