Totally respectable in my experience with this phone
And generally above average. 3000mAh doesn't seem like much with a 5.5" screen

The editors didn't like
This screen has embarrassing light bleed along the lower bezel. Come on
HTC
Do I need to say anything else? HTC does include a 3.5mm adapter as well as its USBC U Sonic earbuds in the box
At least
This is one of the most slippery phones I have ever us
No headphone jack (ugh!)
Low-quality 3.5mm adapter
Disappointing selfie camera
Prev4 of 4Next
Body prone to fingerprints
No separate headphone jack
Glass build makes this fragile and a fingerprint magnet
Bezels are bigger than some other 2017 phones
No 3.5mm audio jack
Mode switching on the camera is clunky
No headphone jack
Back panel attracts fingerprints
Battery life is only OK
Fingerprint magnet
Lacks 3.5mm audio socket
Misses out on Bluetooth 5.0

The player is expensive and defiantly free of built-in streaming features. Picture performance isn't readily distinguishable from players at half the price
HDR
Average battery life
A bit bulky
Lack of a headphone jack is a nuisance
Squeeze feature is a complete gimmick
Not offered by 3 of the 4 major US carriers
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
Battery size and performance don't impress
Substantial bezels
No headphone jack and only proprietary USB-C headphones work
Very slippery in the hand
Attracts fingerprints
Only in Sprint stores
Wireless charging is MIA
Glossy design looks great but is a fingerprint magnet
Lack of 3.5mm audio jack
Edge Sense needs more work
No HDR10 support at launch
No dual camera system
Pricey
HTC loves bezels. No headphone jack
Glass design is slippery and fragile
Battery life could be better
The Sense interface is getting old
SoC throttling under load
MicroSD slot is just average
Doesn't support aptX
Not all functions available when recording video
In some outdoor scenes a slight bluish cast is visible
This is a really tricky one. I actually really like the HTC U11, it has grown on me tremendously. I love the camera, which is one of the best on the current market in my view. I also like the software, the performance, and the audio is second-to-none. It'...

squeezable sides, brilliant camera, microSD card slot, water resistant, bold colours, good screen, 24hour battery, noisecancelling earphones in the box
bulky, large bezels, dated design, no headphone socket
The HTC U11 is a great smartphone hidden in an old, bulky design. While rivals have moved on with tiny bezels and big screens squeezed into small phone bodies, HTC has stagnated.It's bright and bold on the back, but bland on the front. The large bezels ma...
There's a lot to like about the HTC U11 and while it certainly has flagship level specs, it's hard to differentiate in the market against the likes of Samsung and LG. The glossy and colourful design is fresh but won't be for everyone, even though we're gl...

Unique colour designs that look eye-catching, lots of power for fluid operation, great sound quality, waterproofing
Battery life could be longer, Edge Sense "squeeze" feature is a gimmick, Sense Companion feels unnecessary
The HTC U11 brings with it some of the core components you want from a flagship: there's loads of power for a fast and fuss-free operation, a good display, great camera performance, and attention to detail in the audio offering which puts HTC above its fl...
The HTC U11 is excellent and worth the £649 asking price when looking at the competition. But is excellent enough?Depending on what you value, it absolutely is. HTC gets audio more right than any other manufacturer, making speakers that shout louder, head...
Great camera, Squeezable sides, Slick performance, Good battery life
No 3.5mm audio jack, Bulky body
Yes. If you value substance over style, the HTC U11 is easy to recommend. It's lightning fast, it delivers compelling audio quality, the camera gets excellent results with no fiddling required, and the battery life is solid. Sense Companion complements Go...
The HTC U11 is an interesting device that combines top-tier technology with a unique styling. The Edge Sense feature is still an unknown, but if implemented well it could be a significant advance for using the bigger and bigger phones that are arriving th...
