When we reviewed the HTC U Ultra just over three months ago, we said that it felt like a stopgap device, used to fill space before a true 2017 flagship could be launched and grab at least a little bit of the attention its competitors were getting. It seemed obvious that HTC was waiting for a supply of Qualcomm's hot new Snapdragon 835 processor, and so we advised anyone interested in the HTC U Ultra for its looks to hang on for a little while before spending Rs. 60,000. As it turns out, we were exactly right. The HTC U11 is already here and not only is it a lot more powerful than the U Ultra, but it also costs less.
The HTC U11 fixes nearly all the problems we had with the U Ultra, and also has plenty of new flagship features. The Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 SoC is incredibly powerful, and the 12-megapixel rear camera is independently rated as the best in the business. There's even a woofer for powerful sound. This phone introduces Edge Sense, which means you can squeeze it to perform quick shortcuts. This sounds like a gimmick but actually works really well. Performance is top-class, but battery life is only just about average and HTC's software could also use a lot of polish. Overall, this is a solid phone that can stand tall among 2017 flagships.
