Even though it didn’t exactly sell like hotcakes, the HTC U11 was without a doubt one of our favorite high-end phones released in the first half of 2017. And now we’re getting “even more squeezed into a slimmer, stunning” device.
It’s time to (officially) meet the oft-leaked HTC U11+, sporting a 6-inch Quad HD+ display with a 2:1 aspect ratio, and pairing a Snapdragon 835 processor with a gigantic 3,930mAh battery.
There are two configurations coming to Europe later this month, with 4 or 6GB RAM, and 64 or 128GB internal storage. Powered by Android Oreo out the box, the U11+ (or U11 Plus, we can still call it that too) makes Edge Sense “better than ever”, letting you use essentially any app with a simple squeeze.
The phone’s neat and original software tricks don’t stop there, with a swipe anywhere on the home screen accessing notifications. Meanwhile, that large, super-sharp screen with (relatively) thin bezels supports HDR10 content playing, and as usual, HTC boasts a “remarkable” DxOMark Mobile score (90 points) as proof the 12MP single rear-facing camera with OIS and f/1.7 aperture doesn’t need a partner to shine.
Proprietary HTC BoomSound and USonic technologies make the audio experience one of the industry’s all-around best, and in addition to the Translucent Black flavor we’ve talked about so much of late, the U11+ also comes in Ceramic Black and Amazing Silver.
Meanwhile, the significantly lower-end HTC U11 Life is all about providing innovations like Edge Sense, USonic and Active Noise Cancellation for a wider, more budget-conscious audience.
Stateside, T-Mobile is the exclusive carrier of the Full HD 5.2-incher, with sales underway November 3. Unlocked variants start at $349 at htc.com, with an Android One flavor coming soon to select international markets.
