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

The Edge Sense complication is fun but at the same time doesn't offer a huge advantage in utility over an actual button on the U11's side or top. You might love it, you might not find it useful at all, but at least you probably won't hate it. I ended up u...

In short, the HTC U11 is a wonderful phone that I'd recommend to anyone. The fly in the ointment? It's expensive and only £30 cheaper than the superior Samsung Galaxy S8 – the kind of discrepancy that will be invisible if you're comparing two-year contrac...
