Abstract: As we near the halfway point of the year, we're about to enter that lull period in the mobile industry where flagship announcements are few and far between. In previous years, Taiwan-based HTC has been consistent about introducing its flagship phone earli...
Abstract: In five years reviewing smartphones I don't think I've ever seen one so full of contradiction as the HTC U11. A stunning backplate mated to a forgettable face; fast software blunted by extraneous gimmicks; slick multimedia features without a big battery t...

Class-leading performance, Bright, 5.5-inch QHD display, Fantastic BoomSound speakers, Gorgeous design with IP67 water resistance
Average battery life, No headphone jack, A bit bulky
HTC can keep its Sense Companion and its squeezable Edge Sense controls. Those features work as advertised, but I don't need 'em. The things that really makes the U11 stand out are its unique jewel-like design, thumping BoomSound speakers, superb performa...

Beautiful design, Swift, smooth performance, Excellent camera, Battery life impresses
Only in Sprint stores, No headphone jack, Wireless charging is MIA
The HTC U11 is a seriously good phone. HTC has combined beautiful design, superlative build quality, thoughtful features, and a restrained customization of Android. Problem is, I suspect few will ever actually see one.It's fair to say that HTC is lacking...

Effortless, highquality camera, Fantastic performance, Battery life worth writing home about, Some really attractive color options (though the best are nonUS), New BoomSound speakers sound nice and satisfying
Dated look, Noisecanceling earbuds aren't quite as impressive as they could be, Edge Sense feels overengineered (for what could be just a button), Fancy audiorecording features difficult to appreciate
The HTC U11 is somewhat of a phone unstuck in time. It's got all the processing might of any 2017 flagship, offers a modern, quite useful digital assistant, and dips its toes in high-tech features like active noise cancellations. But it's also a phone tha...
When I reviewed the U Ultra, I could see the potential in the design and hardware execution — that phone was just unfortunately saddled with multiple issues including its size, a couple bad internal spec choices, a subpar camera and a far-too-high price...
The HTC U11 has a great potential that we are looking forward to unlocking and testing for a longer period in the field. From our short exposure to it, and from the technical data we have gathered, the timing of its launch places HTC firmly in the high-en...
