Specifications
[edit]Hardware
[edit]The HTC U11 has a glass unibody-like design with an aluminium frame that includes pressure-sensitive points for the implementation of HTC Edge Sense. This enables users to control or navigate several functions by pressing the edges of the metal frame. It is fitted with a 5.5-inch Super LCD 5 Quad HD (2560×1440 pixels) display. The front glass is made of Corning Gorilla Glass 5 while the rear glass uses Gorilla Glass 3. HTC U11 features a 3000 mAh battery with Quick Charge 3.0.
The rear camera is a 12 megapixels sensor with 1.4 μm pixels and an f/1.7 aperture; it also includes OIS and Ultraspeed[clarification needed] Autofocus. The front camera is a 16 megapixels sensor with an f/2.0 aperture and includes EIS.
The HTC U11 has 4 microphones for 24-bit 360-degree audio recording. It also has HTC BoomSound Hi-Fi edition [clarification needed] stereo speakers, with the headphone serving as the tweeter and the bottom-firing speaker as the woofer. Dust and water resistance are included with an IP67 certification.[2]
The phone ships with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 chipset and includes either 4 GB RAM and 64 GB of storage or 6 GB RAM and 128 GB of storage.[3]
Software
[edit]The HTC U11 ships with Android 7.1 Nougat with an overlay of HTC Sense UI. HTC is also currently rolling out Android 8.0 Oreo (without the Treble feature for device-independent system updates)[1] updates for the phone via OTA. Google Assistant, Amazon Alexa and Baidu Duer (China only)[4] are pre-installed. Alexa only became available on 17 July 2017.[2] HTC Sense Companion is installed to make personalized suggestions by learning from daily routines and suggestions based on the user's location.[3]
Sales
[edit]On 15 June 2017, Chang Chia-lin, the president of HTC's smartphone and connected device division, stated that the HTC U11 had been selling better than its predecessors, the HTC One M9 and the HTC 10.[5]
HTC U11+
[edit]
HTC unveiled an upgraded version of the U11, the U11+, on November 2, 2017. It features a 6-inch 2:1 display (marketed as 18:9) with thinner bezels, a larger battery, a rear-mounted fingerprint reader, IP68 certification for dust and water resistance, and is pre-loaded with Android 8.0 Oreo. The Verge reported via internal sources that the U11+ had previously been developed as a successor to the original Pixel XL smartphone HTC had developed with Google, under the codename "Muskie", but that it had been shelved in favor of a version produced by LG instead, and was re-engineered into an update to the U11.[6][7]
HTC U11 Life
[edit]The U11 Life is a T-Mobile- exclusive smartphone unveiled by HTC alongside the U11+ on the same day. It features a 5.2-inch display, IP67 certification for water and dust resistance, 73 hours of battery life, and ships with Android 8.0 Oreo. Unlike the U11+, the U11 Life has a smaller display and comes shipped with the 4th Generation Android One platform, which it joined on September 13, 2017. It is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 630 SoC with 3 or 4 GB of RAM.
