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

Abstract: For a few years now, HTC has played second fiddle to the likes of Samsung, LG, and even some newer players in the flagship smartphone game. But if there was ever a time to root for the underdog, 2017 might be the year for it.We've certainly been impressed...

Am I going to get it? No. My Pocketables millions don't afford me the budget to get it. While it feels better in my hand as far as size goes, looks better than my 10, and seems to perform all around about 20% better on everything, I'm still pretty happy w...

To conclude, there's a lot to like about the HTC U11. This is gorgeous hardware, matched by up to date specs, and with a set of unique features like U Sonic, and Edge Sense, that help this phone stand apart from the standard set of competitors out there.I...

At a day in I've got processor and camera envy. However I'm about to load up every single app I have and see if it slows it like it weighs on my HTC 10. Can't review a phone properly without a lot of junk.Any questions or tests for it, let me know. I've g...

Abstract: The HTC U11 is easily one of the year's best smartphones. While it's certainly going to be an uphill battle for HTC to get word out about the device's strengths, sometimes pictures speak louder than words. Coming equipped with an impressive 12MP, f/1.7, 1...

After years of criticism and declining sales numbers, HTC has come back full force to deliver one of the finest smartphones you'll find this year, and quite possibly the best phone they've ever made. Packing the absolute best camera you'll find in a smart...
Abstract: HTC may have launched the U Ultra recently, but that phone was more of an experimental device than one that's truly designed as a flagship level device. The HTC U11 is the true 2017 flagship from HTC, and there's a number of reasons why it's getting that...
Abstract: HTC is back in the running with its new squeezable flagship smartphone – the U11. One look at the shiny new device and you will realize that HTC has a penchant for gorgeous design. The U11 comes with rounded corners, curved edges on the front and back, an...
