Meet the HTC U11 - Shiny, Powerful, & Squeezable!

2017-05-16
you know things get super intense when they get cranked up to 11 meet the latest from HTC this is the U 11 but one seem to be going longer in thinner with like a two by one a sec ratio or like a two point seven six five by 1.2 it's like to see just a normal aspect ratio phone it is a big phone though it's not for for tiny baby hands or for just normal adult hands but is a 5.5 inch quad HD screen it's got Corning Gorilla Glass 5 all over it so should be pretty protective but if you plan on getting it wet or or dusty no this only has IP 67 so obviously this is a very design centric phone it is extremely glossy in fact if you want to use it like a mirror like the old palm trees back in the days with this thing around pretty much any color save for the white which looks beautiful but not coming to the US you can use just as a reflection or like to blind somebody usually comes along with really glossy backs fingerprint D so you don't want to keep a microfiber cloth with you HTC did pack a lot on the software and the specs side so it is Android 7.1 which is really nice and it's HTC Sense that's not the only sense that's in here the big stories that you 11 is the edge sense such as you can squeeze the phone you can almost use it like two separate buttons a short press can be anything you want to launch the camera you can launch a web browser they made it really customizable and a long squeeze can watch something else so you essentially get two separate buttons so having to find and locate two separate buttons on the film in our testing it works really well it's kind of fun to set up don't know how useful it's going to be on a daily basis but if you want extra buttons you find yourself looking for shortcuts it's a really ingenious way to do an HTC did a nice job putting it together it also packs pretty much the latest specs it's got a snapdragon 835 in there it's got 4 gigs of ram 64 gigs of storage is the only storage option of course you can up that with a microSD card outside of the u.s. though you're going to get a different version if you want you get 6 gigs ram or 128 gigs of storage the people who have had like a mixed feeling towards HTC's cameras they've done some cool stuff ultra pickles in the past and they've kind of reverted back but the camera looks to be really nice and our initial camera test the pictures it was pretty good it's a 12 megapixel ultra pixel 3 sensor the latest camera stuff they'd expect safe detection self-timer dual LED flash f1 points of an aperture HDR boost 4k video recording the front camera really packs megapixels it's a 16 megapixel sensor it's got a live make up feature auto selfie voice selfie we've got a self timer for 10 seconds HDR boost selfie panorama and full 1080p video recording so a really nice selfie camera before I talk about sound um should get this one out of the way no that's phone Jack know what going in we love it or hate it I create a plug your headphones in unless they are USB see but HD does do a lot with sound it's high-res certified hecu sonic with active noise cancellation HTC boomsound hi Fayed ition so got the extra 5 you know it's going to sound pretty good HTC has done a really awesome job of audio fidelity in the past so I expect even better performance from you 11 on the battery side its 3000 milliamp hours I feel kind of the same way I do about that as I do about the lack of a headphone jack HTC claims we get about 24 and a half hours or so of talktime and up to 14 days of standby time and of course all the other Qualcomm quick charge stuff it expected here like quick charge 3.0 you also added extreme power saving mode so this is the HTC new 11 it's glossy it's shiny it's big bold and is hopefully HTC's come back I'm gonna reserve judgment so I get a chance to actually play with it we only got some hands-on for real few minutes the screen looks bright the camera looks pretty solid how it all comes together in a package you use on a daily basis you have to be determined to being able to squeeze the phone and something very new got to retrain your brain to the grip and grab when you are gripping and grabbing the phone does feel really nice in the hand HGT spent a lot of time clearly trying to make the screen to the back view almost bezel listen to feel like you can't find a theme with your finger and you can't the build quality a typical HTC fashion is awesome whether or not just the phone for you I can't answer yet I want to get one though and technical buffle offices will test it and will let you know what we think if you wanted to test anything in particular leave in the comments down below if you want to see that full review is a video a thumbs up to let us know you want a review of the HTC EU 11 so next time and John Ranger some TechnoBuffalo you
