HTC U11 hands-on: First look

16 May 2017
Just when we thought HTC was through with this generation's flagship announcement in the U Ultra, the Taiwanese manufacturer decided it can squeeze one more release in. But before we get to explain the terrible pun we just made, let us introduce the HTC U11 - the company's true 2017 flagship offer.

      Nice phone but then I read "Screen: 5.5""
      aw :(
      HTC usually does flagships at around 5.0 inch =(
      Big phones aren't for my hands.

            HTC U11 was extremely close to making me crown it as the best 2017 phone, but it is a but or two...letting aside the fact that the new glass design is a fingerprint and crack magnet in comparison with the durable aluminium body of the 10, there is one thing that shows how stupid HTC is, the fact that it cutted down the single most important feature of Snapdragon 835, Bluetooth 5.0...so they cut the 3.5mm jack and put a generation old Bluetooth(4.2 LE) which has 1/4 the range and 1/2 the speed of 5.0??? I think they don't want to be the best, they just want to be mediocre...They put an incredible camera, one of the best of the market (same size, pixel count, aperture, autofocus as S7/S8, maybe even same sensor considering all the similarities), a great screen(5.5" IPS LCD QHD), but they cut the 3.5mm jack without the addition of BT 5.0? This is clearly not a phone for music lovers, HTC messed up things again...I am waiting for Zach to test its durability after the disaster named "U Ultra" and test myself the squeeze thing because it sounds like a gimmick or interesting thing, you never know until you try.

              I don't like the rear camera positioned in the center of the phone.

                        The design looks worst compared to its competitors. HTC is continuing its loss again!

                          Not a fan of the super shiny looks.. or the lack of a headphone jack...

                          BUT it does have an awesome camera. Well done HTC, hopefully others take up this challenge.
