HTC U11
HTC launched their new flagship U11. It's going to be a true flagship from HTC for 2017. As the flagships of previous year from HTC, U Ultra & U Play wasn't that much good against it's rivals; U11 is looking pretty great. Let's check out the specifications first.
HTC U11
Display: 5.5 inch 4K Super LCD 5 display with 1440×2560 resolution (534 ppi) & Corning Gorilla Glass 5.
SOC: Qualcomm Snapdragon 835.
RAM: 4/6 GB.
Memory: 64 GB internal & expandable upto 256 GB.
Camera: 12 UP rear camera (f/1.7) & 16 MP front camera.
Battery: 3000 mAh.
Price: ₹53000.
Now let's go through some details.
Design: It's a big change in HTC's design language for years on U11. Rather than a full metal finish U11 sports a liquid design language, i.e. metal and glass finish. There are curved edges all over the edges. The phone looks really pretty.
Performance: It's the first phone to ship with Snapdragon 835 world wide (Samsung Galaxy S8 shipped with Exynos processors in some regions.). In US it'll be shipping with 4 GB RAM, but in Asia as well as India it'll have 6 GB of RAM under the hood. So, performance wise HTC U11 will be snappy.
Camera: HTC U11 sports a 12 Ultra-Pixel rear camera with 14 micro metre of apperture size, OIS, Auto HDR Boost & f/1.7 lens. Generally it sounds great. For results, it scored 90 in DxOMark camera test, 1 point ahead of Google Pixel & 2 points ahead of Samsung Galaxy S8 & Sony Xperia X Performance. For selfies it sports a 16 MP camera with Auto HDR Boost. So, for camera department, it seems the best Android device till date.
Battery: It's a 3000 mAh one which looks moderate.
Special Features: HTC U11 sports lots of special features.
1. The best special feature (I'll say it unique feature) of HTC U11 is it's Edge Sense. U11 is incorporated with pressure sensors along it's sides. So, you can open different apps with different squeezes, short or long. As the phone is IP67 rated water resistant & you can't use touch screen under water, there this feature will be so helpful. You can just squeeze the phone to take a picture or record video.
2. HTC U11 shifts along three Virtual Assistants, Google Assistant, HTC's Edge Companion & Amazon's Alexa. In China it'll be shifting along with DuerOS, a digital assistant from Baidu. HTC is doing so as where Google Assistant is good at giving information, Edge Companion is good at controlling and launching mobile feature there Amazon's Alexa is good at controlling home devices.
3. There is USB Type-C in place of 3.5 mm headphone jack. HTC U11 comes bundled with HTC's USonic headphones which features active noise cancellation & can tune audio through your ear with advanced sonar like technologies.
The U11 will be available in four colour.
So, expectations are high for HTC U11. Now it's time to watch it in action.
