![]() In retrospect, the stereo BoomSound speakers equipped on the U11 is quite impressive, outputting a reasonably quality audio with some oomph to its volume. ![]() However, moving on to the aural and IO features of the U11 does bring some slight disappointment starting with the headphone jack because there is none, while USB type C is versatile there is only one which means you can’t charge the phone while plugging in the earphones. Next on the checkbox would be the U11’s screen while it may not be sporting an AMOLED display featured in Samsung’s flagship the Super LCD5 Quad HD screen does remain vibrant with a sharp and crisp look and even scoring 166 percent of the sRGB rating, not only that the display is also quite bright with a rating of 512 nits which actually beats the Samsung Galaxy S8 and Google Pixel XL which comes in at 437 nits and 396 nits respectively. Admittedly one cannot deny that the U11 does look great. Taking a look at the HTC U11 chassis it should immediately remind users of the U Play and U Ultra although instead of a full metal unibody now the U11 sports an amalgamation of glass and metal, which still proves rigid and sturdy enough although with a glass shine like that this would prove to be a troublesome phone to carry around considering what a fingerprint magnet this would be. So, what’s new this time around? For starters that would be Edge Sense whereby squeezing the phone by default activates the camera although this is re-programmable with somewhat endless possibilities. Since in the Android space there plenty of one-off gimmicks which hailed as groundbreaking but never caught on. While the spec may not be impressive when compared with memory beasts like the One Plus 5 and its 6GB or 8GB memory configurations, prudence remains the key here. Running down the whitepaper specifications the HTC U11 is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 835 SoC with an Adreno 540 GPU, a choice of 64 GB of UFS flash storage and 4 GB or memory or 128 GB of flash storage and 6 GB of memory. Model: Just when people thought HTC was done releasing phones, HTC surprises us with the new HTC U11 flagship. Rating: performance: 90% display: 85% mobility: 80% Single Review, online available, Long, Date: The 12 Megapixel 1/2.55 inch sensor is coupled with an f/1.75 lens to achieve these results. Flash exposures are very even across the frame and feature good detail preservation and color rendering. Its image stabilization is also very effective, although sometimes it leaves some residual evidence of motion. Outdoor scenes are vibrant, with good detail and very low noise. In addition to excellent technical scores, its images tend to have a pleasing look, with good color rendering. The HTC U11 features remarkably consistent performance in a wide variety of shooting conditions, making it a great camera for most situations. In particular, its very low noise and fast autofocus helped edge it ahead of our previous highest-scoring phone, the Google Pixel. As you’d expect from a top performer, its scores are impressive across the board. HTC U11 Mobile review: The new DxOMark leader Source: DxOMark version With an overall DxOMark Mobile score of 90, the HTC U11 is the highest-rated smartphone camera we have ever tested. Rating: Total score: 68% price: 40% display: 90% mobility: 60% workmanship: 70% Single Review, online available, Short, Date: If you’re a big camera buff, you might be able to justify the price in your own head – it’s a ridiculously well-performing device in that regard – but for people that don’t put a premium on camera performance…there’s better devices out there for cheaper. In the end, the HTC U11 is just another adequate “flagship” with gimmicky features and the bloated price tag we’ve come to expect from the big name OEMs. ![]() For all the praise it got around the web, frankly, I expected better. A $650 (at minimum!) phone with this set of specifications is ludicrous in a world where OnePlus’ 5 – or even 3T (from a year ago) – can be had for $200 less with largely better specs. But context matters, and the price of that adequacy needs to be considered. 68% HTC’s U11 offers a disappointing overall package with a few very bright spots (Review) Source: Android Guys version In a vacuum, HTC’s U11 is a perfectly adequate phone. ![]()
