have you ever found yourself just really liking something from day one there's your favorite city to visit your favorite car no matter how old it is your favorite watch or SmartWatch for that matter that effect can be the same for smartphones but after pretty much reviewing some of the best devices of the year that love at first sight hadn't really clicked for me or at least not until today I'm hiding under that one pocket now and I have to spend 24 hours with the HTC u 11 so here's the thing I wasn't really expecting much of a surprise with the new HTC u 11 the you ultra was seriously my least favorite phone to hold during my review given the unnecessary heft but the U 11 is something else entirely the 3d form glass creates this very interesting aspect of the overall design instead of having an enable a curved display the glass is actually thicker on the edges almost making the aluminum frame inexistent the result of the phone that feels like if it were fully made of glass with no sharp edges to account for anywhere honestly not sure what it is but it's my favorite feel on a phone in 2017 now what hasn't really survived at all well after just one day of use is this clear case it scratched stuff all over on the outside and on the inside it is a lint magnet sure free stuff in a box is always great but I've had to migrate back to my usual sleep on Amazon and yes a chamois is a must in this reflective glass finish setting it up for the first time we have the new HTC logo animation while heading to this being about you the Wi-Fi Google assistant an account set up for restore all resemble your standard Android phone from the beginning it's not until after that that we're greeted by the option to set up your HTC account and then to set up edgesense which begins by asking you to set the sensitivity at which you'll be squeezing the phone for it to react next up we have the you sonic setup which you'll need the headphones for and you simply have to press a button that it detects the noise and adapts to it automatically and you have the usual fingerprint setup and after that things actually begin to get weird see for a company that closed that it doesn't bring any blow to their phones part of the set up has applications that suggest for you to install with some of these being exactly that load amendment bloat continues and features like blade feeds which include sponsored content something I honestly don't understand that a phone at this price range separate features like the HTC Sense companion have to be set separately since there's no secondary display like on the you ultra you get these random bubbles like chat heads on the display with suggestions right now it's too early to replicate it or for this feature to be of any use and everything else we have the standard HTC Sense on top of Android 7.1.1 this continues to be my favorite Android skin given its minimalism with some new additions like the pixels contextual menus when you long press an icon making the cuts this also continues to be my favorite version of Android given its battery optimizations so far the U 11 has lasted me through my first day without a problem the time will tell if that holds up this particular review unit is a snapdragon 835 variants with four gigs of ram and 64 gigs of storage and dual-sim capabilities and trade in the space from that memory card performance is obviously top-notch but I can't say that I've been really impressed with call quality as with previous HTC phones boomsound high five speakers have been plenty loud for content consumption as for active noise cancellation overuse sonic well these are no Sennheiser's but audio over headphones can get so loud but I seriously can't hear any noise more from wants real audio review coming very soon the camera has also been quite impressive HTC has reduced the size of the ultra pixels in favor of a wider aperture in order to shave most of the camera hump that we saw with the u ultra my first batch of photos have been quite impressive during the day and also overnight once real camera view will come very soon to shed more details on what you get here overall for my first day of using this phone I'll tell you this much it looks like a flagship it feels like a flagship then yes it runs like a flagship just like in the case of the HTC 10 this is another device without compromise from HTC we'll be reporting back with our school review in the days ahead in addition to our standard batch of comparisons well that happens make sure you follow us on social media and hit that subscribe button down below for more videos like this one you also follow me on Twitter hi now - quarterly that are on Instagram at high middle e data please give this video a thumbs up if you liked what you saw I am hey meta leave it I think so much for watching we'll see what the next one
