      this is so funny...what a surprise...i have used a htc one before...it lags at all the time...camera is just a mess...UI is good...drains battery so fast.....Please dont compare samsung phones with these type of odd phones...

        The phone used in both the 4K stabilisation videos is the same. In both videos it is the Samsung. You can see the phone and the guy when he walks past the mirror.

          I had both phones. U11 is ok, but is heavier and slight bulky. Camera is not better. It is good but in most of the time s8 makes better. Display is not better. Actually, S8 has one of the best displays in the world even today. So, you have to be really stupid htc fanatic to choose u11 over s8.

                  I've always thought HTC was the best in making smartphones, and the U11 just pushes the envelope.

Es... moreExynos CPU can help audio of a phone? 😂 you know nothing about phones man, cpc cannot do anything magical in terms of audio and what make HTC phones one of the best in terms of audio is amp and other chips and settings HTC used for their phones not the CPU of their phones so go and study more about phones before write nonsense comments

                      U11 tends to set the exposure higher than S8. watch the light/white object. S8 rear cam is slightly better I think. but the front cam, U11 is better.

Always keep in mind that U11 is better than S8 in Audio, now Camera, Software lag-free, better Performance, lives longer and i am sure battery will be much better than S8... some reviews even proved it. N I don't want to waste my time with the one being a silly donkey who hasn't been grown up... Even ur name suggests how much grown up you are.. Lemon ;)

I even told my friend those phones looks like toy phones so Im not interested in that two phone. About U11, I didnt say I hate it, I just still dont believe that all thing HTC said are true, maybe there are something will happen soon, like S8 has said in the past that they have "the most security method, even better than FBI fingerprint" and now we can see the Iris Scanner is a joke, easily got trick by selfie photo and glue.

Cuz adult people dont act like that. Regarding DxO, you have no knowledge and information that website works for money. This is 2017 and if you believe all things you found on GG, you may look like a silly donkey you know. That's why they gave DxO the first hand on U11 to review the camera (money right?) before it's released in order to make an envidence that U11 has a good thing to try. However GsmArea still doesnt have any reviews about battery usage right? I guess it's between 80-85 hrs maybe worse. Im not fan of any things or any phones, just didnt have good memory about HTC, LG, Sony phones in the past. And Im using China phone FYI.

                              Yeah to be honest, u11 has better camera than s8. I see the windows on building or else is more detail and clear. But i love my s8 + due to its design and comfortable usage. Well everyone has preference to own smartphone. For the person looking camera phone i think u should buy u11. But if you do else buy s8+. Iphone ? Nope i never have it once and never think to buy due its handicapped.

For me I don't even see much difference between S7/S7 edge and S8/S8plus cameras! And again i just hate that fingerprint placement of S8. They just ruined the whole design of the phone which to me would be a killer design!

                                    People who understand the aspects of photography would tell you S8/plus Camera doesn't even come close to Lumia 950/950xl! Camera period!!
