Novelties of HTC smartphones are taken not by quantity, but by quality. HTC presented a new flagship smartphone HTC U11 EYEs - one of the confident leaders

Next year, HTC will delight connoisseurs of its products with a device that has a characteristic that users like. HTC President Chialin Chang announced this. In addition, the talk was also about the company's new product, HTC U11 +. And about whether this device could have debuted on the market as the Pixel 2 XL from Google's operating system developer?

Users have already seen the HTC U11 and its larger version, the HTC U11 +. These devices have already debuted, but in none of them has one of the most notable features of the flagship smartphones of 2017 - the dual camera - found its use. HTC President Chialin Chan said the company will equip its smartphones with this part, which will be released next year, as soon as it finds the best technical approach. The prospects of one of the most popular smartphone vendors in the recent past were reviewed by Richard Lai on the pages engadget.com and Yordan in the published resource gsmarena.com note.

Chialin Chan also confirmed that next year the company will continue the approach to the release of new products, which is characteristic of 2017. This means that HTC will only release five or six smartphones in a full year. In addition, the company attaches great importance to the representation of its products in the Chinese market. It should be noted that the Chinese market is dominated by budget and mid-range devices that cost no more than $ 300. And this is a completely new challenge for HTC, as it has never been strong in the lower price segment.

Cialin Chan also commented on the HTC-Google agreement. He noted that the implementation process of this agreement is currently not completed, since the agreement has yet to be approved by the company's shareholders in early 2018. The president of HTC did not comment on HTC's involvement in the work on phones from search giant Google, despite the information that it was the Taiwanese company that was engaged in the design and production of one of the new products of 2017 - the Pixel 2.

HTC President Chialin Chan presented the U11 + smartphone in Taipei. Chialin Chan also confirmed that HTC will once again release dual camera smartphones in 2018. Those who know HTC's history well will remember that the EVO 3D was one of the first smartphones to come with a dual camera module.

Then the company began to promote its "Duo Camera" technology, which provided bokeh effects in two generations of HTC flagships. Surprisingly, the company did not use dual cameras in its HTC 10 smartphone, while other vendors - LG, Huawei, Xiaomi and even Apple - have just started using dual cameras in their devices.

Chialin Chan did not elaborate on the technical details of HTC's upcoming dual camera device. The rumored U11 + was originally slated to be the Pixel 2 XL. Earlier it was reported that HTC designed both the Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL, but Google only settled on the HTC-made Pixel 2, while the Pixel 2 XL's design that eventually saw the light of day was designed by LG. And the reason for this, perhaps, was the fact that the proposed LG is cheaper to manufacture. Unlike the U11, the U11 + fingerprint scanner is located on the back of the device. Cialin Chan was asked about this device.

After a long pause, he replied:

The question you asked is too difficult, I do not know how to answer you. I cannot comment on Google products. Thanks to our relationship with Google, there are things that we know and don't know about them, but we cannot comment anyway. I can only comment on our own U11 +: we already started planning it around the end of last year, including the sources of its key components, and it makes sense, it was planned this way at one time. We're also very happy to have these components in our U11 +.

Thus, neither confirmation nor denial that the U11 + was originally planned as a Pixel device has not been received. It is possible that the U11 + was planned alongside the original Pixel 2 XL design from HTC, since that way it would be possible to purchase similar components for both models in large quantities on more favorable terms.

When asked about the location of the fingerprint scanner, Chialin Chan replied that he thinks the location of this component of the smartphone on the rear panel makes sense for a device with a tall display, the aspect ratio of which is 18: 9. Therefore, if HTC actually developed two variants with similar specifications, the company might want to use the same design for the fingerprint scanners in both models. In any case, the U11 + looks promising. But will its sales be successful?

After the mobile phone market was taken over by Chinese manufacturers such as Huawei, Xiaomi and Meizu, HTC's products became much less popular. However, the company is not discouraged and is still trying to stay afloat, which is why it annually releases gadgets that keep up with the times. To show you the most successful models, we present to your attention a list containing HTC phones, their photos and prices. Go.

# 5 - HTC Desire 12

Price: 10 500 rubles

HTC Desire 12, which was released in March 2018-2019, was honored to open our rating. It has a rather primitive appearance and because of this it is rather difficult to identify HTC Desire 12 as a specific model. The gadget has a 5.5-inch display with a resolution of 1440x720 pixels. The heart of the HTC Desire 12 is the MediaTek MT6739, which is aided by 2 or 3 GB of RAM. The amount of storage also varies - 16 or 32 GB. The main camera is 13 MP, the front camera is 5 MP. The battery capacity is 2730 mAh.

I must admit that the smartphone turned out, although not perfect, but quite good for its segment. It is clear that in terms of the combination of characteristics and price, it will not be able to oppose anything to products from Xiaomi, but nevertheless. Of the main advantages of the smartphone, we note a good screen. The matrix is \u200b\u200bcalibrated in the best way and due to this the image on the display is detailed and juicy, despite the low resolution. HTC Desire 12 has no serious drawbacks, you can only find fault with the processor. Of course, people who are only interested in everyday tasks will be satisfied with them, but those who like to play demanding games will not have the highest performance.

# 4 - HTC Desire 12+

Price: 15,000 rubles

The older brother of the HTC Desire 12 smartphone has a 6-inch screen with a resolution of 1440x720 pixels. In place of the processor there is a Snapdragon 450, working in a duct with 3 GB of RAM. The storage capacity is 32 GB. The main camera with a dual 13 + 2 MP module and an 8 MP front camera are responsible for the quality of the photo and video. Autonomy is the prerogative of the 2965 mAh battery.

Like the usual Desire 12, the plus version is equipped with a good screen. An interesting fact is that the developers decided to keep the same resolution, despite the increase in the diagonal. This did not affect the quality of the picture - it is just as wonderful and juicy. In terms of performance, Desire 12+ looks much more confident due to the processor. Although it is not the most modern, but most games will pull without difficulty. It is clear that in demanding projects you will still have to lower the graphics settings, but this is not so critical.

№3 - HTC U11 EYEs

Price: 23,000 rubles

We decided to give the bronze to the HTC U11 EYEs, it started selling in February 2018-2019 and consumers immediately liked its modern and elegant design. HTC U11 EYEs has a 6-inch matrix with a resolution of 2160 × 1080 pixels. The performance of the smartphone is a concern of the Snapdragon 652 chipset, which is actively assisted in this by 4 GB of RAM. The 64 GB storage volume allows the smartphone owner to save many beautiful pictures taken with a 12-megapixel main camera or a 5-megapixel front camera. The battery capacity is 3930 mAh.

The main advantage of HTC U11 EYEs is cameras. They are some of the best in their segment and are capable of producing detailed photos with the correct color balance. In the absence of good lighting, the situation is a little worse. Another strong point of the flagship is the display. It has no problems with contrast, color rendition, so the image on it is always juicy and detailed.

# 2 - HTC U Ultra

Price: 27,000 rubles

The HTC U Ultra is a truly unique smartphone. The fact is that this is one of the few solutions on the market with as many as two displays. The diagonal of the first is 5.7 inches, the resolution is 2560x1400 pixels. The second 2.05-inch screen with a resolution of 1440x160 pixels is also on the front panel, but is located slightly higher. The gadget is also interesting for its hardware characteristics. For example, it has a modern Snapdragon 821 chipset. The amount of RAM is 4 GB, but the amount of internal memory can be 64 or 128 GB, depending on the version chosen by the buyer. The volume of the battery is 3000 mAh. The main camera is 12 MP, the front camera is 16 MP.

The flagship objectively has no weaknesses, therefore it is almost the best smartphone in the arsenal of the HTC brand. The high price is justified by the magnificent screen, which has maximum viewing angles and throughout its entire life will delight the owner with a high-quality juicy image with the highest level of detail. The processor is enough to run any game at maximum graphics settings. Cameras are a godsend for bloggers and casual users alike, although the HTC U Ultra isn't the best camera phone ever. For many, the presence of an NFC module, which has recently become very popular, will be a pleasant bonus.

# 1 - HTC U12 Plus

Price: 55,000 rubles

The last model in our ranking of smartphones from HTC is the U12 Plus, which takes the gold. The flagship is equipped with a 6-inch display with a resolution of 2880x1440 pixels. Looking under the hood of HTC U12 Plus, you will find the top-end Snapdragon 845 chipset. There are two memory configurations - 6/64 GB or 6/128 GB. All amateur photographers, without exception, will be pleasantly surprised by the picture quality provided by the 12 + 16 MP dual main camera and the 8 MP front camera. The battery capacity is 3500 mAh.

As befits a flagship, HTC U12 Plus simply has no weaknesses. Each of its components will delight the owner, even if it is the most sophisticated fan, in whose hands more than a dozen smartphones have been. The screen of the gadget demonstrates a gorgeous picture that simply boggles the mind. The processor here is the top-end, so you won't have to think about performance for several more years. Cameras are capable of taking pictures that you will not be ashamed to post on a social network or just leave them as a keepsake. Thanks to them, the pleasant moment of your life will become even brighter and sparkle with new colors.

The imaging device with a 5.5-inch display is available in black, gray and white universal colors. The manufacturer also presented elegant “female” models, made in shades of gold and rose gold.

Important:the thin metal case fits well in the palm of your hand: you can operate the gadget with one hand.

70% of the front side is occupied by the screen. The rest is with buttons, speaker and sensors. The device protects the protective glass from dust, scratches and shocks. It has rounded edges, so it completely covers the front of the gadget.
The internal memory (32 GB) is enough for storing memorable photos, videos and audio recordings. In addition, it can be expanded with a flash drive: the device recognizes variants up to 2 TB. Such a smartphone will become a full-fledged hard drive.

The advantages of the model:

  1. Color Crisp - A wide viewing angle FHD display with 401 PPI pixel density lets you enjoy rich color and detail.
  2. High performance - a powerful eight-core 2.2GHz engine and 3GB of RAM will ensure excellent performance of the device both when surfing the web and playing games.
  3. Gorgeous photos and videos - the resolution of the main camera is 13 megapixels, automatic focusing, image stabilization function and flash make it possible to take a high-quality picture both in bright light and in the dark. Pro mode records shots in RAW, allowing you to retouch shots quickly and at a deeper level.
  4. Excellent selfies - thanks to the “Selfie” function, a beautiful frame on the front camera (5 megapixel) is provided: just smile and the photo is ready. Correct your portrait ahead of time with Quick Makeup.
  5. Two speakers - give loud, surround and frequency-balanced sound: watch movies and listen to audio tracks not only in.
  6. A separate slot for a flash drive - with this device you don't have to choose between 2 SIM cards and an increase in internal memory.

Among the shortcomings of the top model are the alternating operation of SIM cards and a display that glares in the sun. However, in comparison with the “stuffing” of the gadget, these are trifles.

2.HTC Desire 830

3.HTC Desire 526G

4. HTC 10 Lifestyle

Style, high performance, great sound and cameras - with a decent capacity (3000 mAh) battery, it is suitable for simple web surfing, video and photography, and for games.

The 5.2-inch screen is completely covered with a protective screen, so it is not afraid of dust and scratches. The hardware stuffing of the device is protected from mechanical damage by a solid metal case.

Smartphone advantages:

  1. A display with a maximum resolution of 2560x1440 (QHD) delivers 564 ppi images that are crisp and vibrant.
  2. The rear 12 megapixel camera not only allows you to create high-quality pictures, but also to take videos in 4K. And a 5 megapixel front camera gives rich photos in FHD.
  3. Available - 32 GB of installed memory (in fact - about 28 GB due to pre-installed programs). This volume is increased by a flash drive up to 2 TB.
  4. Thanks to an eight-core chip from Qualcomm (1.8 GHz) and 3 GB of RAM, the device shows high speed not only when using standard utilities, but also in 3D toys.
  5. Sound - Hi-Fi quality both in headphones and through.
  6. Operates on Android OS - most Google services are free.

This smartphone has only one drawback - the device supports 1 nano sim-card. The memory card tray is located separately, so you won't be able to insert another SIM card instead of a USB flash drive.

5.HTC Desire 630

6. HTC U ULTRA

The chic look of the case iridescent in the light is achieved thanks to the unique combination of sapphire crystal and metal. But this smartphone is not attracted by design alone: \u200b\u200ba large 5.7-inch display, which gives an image in QHD-quality (2560x1440 pixels), will delight both fans of web surfing and online video viewing, and gamers.

The screen protected from scratches and dust by special glass is one of the advantages of the gadget, but the stylish case is easily soiled: fingerprints and small fibers are noticeable on the glossy surface of the back cover.

The device works with two sim and a 256 GB flash drive. The combined slot for 1 nano-sim or microSD will not be a problem if you purchase the option with 128 GB storage. Also available are options for storing 64 GB of information.

The device runs on the seventh android, so the user has access to many free services and Google applications. The quad-core processor, clocked at 2.15GHz, is powerful and delivers high performance for both simple use and gaming.

A powerful 3000 mAh battery lasts about 18 hours of reading and surfing the web, and you can enjoy games for about 5 hours in a row. A bonus for lovers of "toys" - a practically non-heating case.

Two more "chips" of the device - cameras: 12 Mp (on the back) and 16 Mp - on the front. These options make it possible to take great pictures. A special frame stabilization function will prevent the picture from shaking when shooting.

7. HTC U PLAY

8.HTC One A9

The device runs on an android and is equipped with a lithium-ion non-removable battery. 2150 mAh capacity is enough for 16 hours of talks. Thanks to the "economical" AMOLED-display during standard use - reading, surfing the Internet - it lasts for 8-10 hours.


Once again, I am returning to the market of last year's smartphones due to their delicious price today. In this article, I will consider not only the best NTS smartphones of 2018-2019, but also some veterans, we will also discuss the pros and cons of each model.

Which NTS smartphones are better?

In its latest innovations, HTC has implemented the following new technologies that are common to most models:

  • support for 2 SIM cards;
  • high resolution;
  • face recognition technology;
  • framelessness;
  • good selfie camera;
  • the latest operating systems Android 8.0 or Android Pie 9.0;
  • unusual "iridescent" design, giving freedom of expression.

But the trick, in my opinion, is HTCSenseCompanion. This technology is a faithful companion, constantly learning your actions and habits that you do daily. She may recommend that you dress warmly and go to work a little earlier than usual when weather forecasters predict a likely snowfall; remind to bring a power bank with you when there is a long trip in the plans; will suggest a good restaurant in an unknown city and help you to book a table. But what is most pleasing is that it is constantly changing and improving, gradually getting to know the owner better. HTCUUltra also has a built-in voice recognition engine. Therefore, it can identify your voice even if the gadget is inactive. You only need to say one word to call, write a message, set an alarm or start navigation. Read more about all the nuances of choosing HTC smartphones below.

The best budget smartphones are HTC, then the expensive ones. Before chasing cheapness, purchasing a gadget of your dreams, answer yourself some questions: does it have stereo speakers? Does it have wireless charging? Is there a headphone jack or will you need to use wireless headphones or a headset adapter with wires? Is it compatible with new 5G networks?

HTC Desire 12+ is the most balanced smartphone

HTC Desire 12

Rating 4.8 (85%). HTC Desire 12+ features a 6-inch HD + display (the firm says it's the largest in the series). The device houses an 8-core Snapdragon450 chipset, a dual 13 + 2MP main camera and an 8MP front camera with flash. Thanks to them, you can make selfies and relics whenever you want and high-quality portraits under any circumstances. The lens with an impressive 2.0 aperture of the HTCDesire 12+ front camera makes it possible to capture a lot of light, even in low light. There's no need to wait for the perfect light: use the front LED flash for well-lit and clear selfies, or smooth backlighting for natural selfies.

  • Excellent display;
  • Powerful camera;
  • Fast charging;
  • Good headphone sound;
  • Has HTCSenseCompanion technology
  • 4G support.
  • Not the longest period of activity.

The rest of the specifications are not attractive in any way - 3 GB of RAM, 32 GB of permanent memory, a 2965 mAh battery, a fingerprint scanner and Android Oreo. In general terms, a smooth gadget with good performance.

HTC U Ultra 64GB - the flagship of the market


Rating 4.5 (80%). This unit has some interesting features. Although we are observing the traditional design of the case, we have a wonderful 5.7 ″ screen with a resolution of 2560 × 1440. Excellent 12 Mpx rear camera. There is also an additional screen placed above the main one (160 × 1040 pixels). Its diagonal is approximately 2.05 inches and is required to display notifications. Supports the use of 2 SIM cards at the same time. Weight is only 0.17 kg. The size of the internal memory is impressive - 64 Gb. However, like the size of the RAM - 4 Gb. The front camera is excellent at 16 Mpx. And despite the already large size, memory expansion is available.

  • Strong sound, both in headphones and speakers.
  • Great performance and, of course, a great price.
      • But the volume of the battery is so-so: not large, and not small, 3000 mAh is suitable for ordinary users.

      Undoubtedly, HTC U Ultra can be called a flagship device, as it operates on the basis of the once popular QualcommSnapdragon821 processor.

      HTC Breeze - American budget employee


      Rating 4.4 (77%). Now the well-known firm NTS has developed and presented to a wide audience not just another flagship, but a budget version called HTCBreeze. The operating system here is one of the most modern - Android Oreo8.0. Despite its price, the design is “premium style”. For example, a smartphone has narrow bezels around the screen. A 13 Mpx camera module is placed behind the updated HTCBreeze. Also, the main camera is equipped with a dual-tone LED flash. The front module has a resolution of 5 Mpx.

      • The most advanced ratio then is 18: 9;
      • The screen resolution is also not weak, as for a smartphone: 1440 x 720 pixels.
      • Only 2GB of RAM, and 16GB of permanent;
      • A rather weak battery, the volume of which is 2730 mAh.

      Thus, the gadget can be safely attributed to the category of budget smartphones.

      HTC U12 life 4 / 64GB - a decent gadget of average specifications


      Rating 4.3 (75%). The refreshed HTC U12 Life is a mid-range fashion gadget. This is a breakthrough from average mediocrity, but there are trade-offs. Excellent design of the smartphone, large display and long battery life, but not very good software. This is a mid-range gadget with a price tag of approximately 23,000 rubles. Not to be confused with the U12 Plus (it's good that they are not similar). With an interesting striped design, a huge display, an excellent battery, and an attractive price, the U12 Life has every chance of a strong position in the competitive market.

      • Large display;
      • Attractive design;
      • Good battery
      • Difficulties with software.
      • There is no moisture protection.

      If you like the design of the U12 Life, and the large display and battery are priority in terms of parameters, then you should choose this one.

      HTC U11 EYEs is one of the confident leaders


      Rating 4.2 (75%). The NTS company has presented another gadget, which is called the HTC U11 EYEs. It belongs to the middle segment, it has front cameras and face recognition. The novelty has a six-inch display made using frameless technologies. Resolution 2160x1080 pixels. The aspect ratio is the most modern - 18: 9. There is a 12 Mpx photo module at the back, but the front camera is equipped with 2 sensors of 5 Mpx each. The fingerprint scanner was placed in the back.

      • The basis of this gadget is the Snapdragon 652 chipset. To help it, there are 4 GB of RAM, 64 GB of internal. It can be enlarged with a microSD card.
      • Large 3930 mAh battery.
    • Pre-orders are open for $ 512. The researchers point out that the cost of this gadget is very high.

      The smartphone went on sale in a black, red, blue case.

      HTC One M9 - the dream of former photographers


      Rating 4.0 (72%). Next in our ranking is an old model with pre-installed Android 5.0 OS. The device screen in this model has a comfortable 5 inches with FullHD picture quality. The internal equipment has a powerful eight-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 chip with a power distribution: 4 cores at 2 GHz and 4 at 1.5 GHz. This makes it possible to save battery consumption and work the device for about 25 hours of talk time. Together with the Adreno430 graphics accelerator, a device with great performance came out. The RAM in the smartphone is 3 Gb, which is pretty good at the moment.

      • The internal memory of the device is 32 GB, and with the help of external drives it is simply expandable to 128 Gb.
      • A mobile phone of high quality in all its properties creates a three-dimensional stereo sound, which is similar to the sound in a cinema. HTCBoomSound with DolbyAudio plays great music of various genres and videos with multiple tracks from YouTube.
      • Weak battery at 2840 mAh.

      A device with an excellent 20 Mpx camera will satisfy the desires of photographers who are professionally involved in this work. And with the help of powerful tools from HTC EyeExperience, it is possible to shoot from 2 cameras at once and take automatic selfies using voice control.

      Well, now the TOP smartphones NTS (the most expensive). The following 2 models are for true electronics gourmets striving for quality, for whom price is not a question at all.

      HTC U12 Plus 128GB - another photographer's dream


      Rating 4.5 (80%). The gadget HTC U12 Plus demonstrated a surprisingly short life span and limited maximum screen brightness. Moreover, as of August 2018, its initial cost was approximately 54,000 rubles. HTC calls its own design “LiquidSurface” or “fluid surface” as glass resembles a liquid. The designers did it: all 3 colors shimmer beautifully. Unfortunately, fingerprints will be immediately apparent on the glass case. The system responds very smoothly and quickly, and surfing the Internet or playing 3D games is a real pleasure. This is one of the fastest models on the market right now. Still, the battery life of the HTC U12Plus is disappointing: in the test with the screen on, the 3500 mAh battery lasted only 7:38 hours. Pros of Android 8 OS and great performance of a powerful processor. 2 double chambers on top.

      • Too short term of autonomous activity.
      • Sufficiently dark screen.
      • No wireless charging.

      The HTC U12Plus gadget shows great quality, with two excellent dual cameras and very high performance. Nevertheless, according to the test results, it did not reach the very top of the HTC smartphone rating.


      Rating 4.4 (79%). This is the harbinger of a renewed wave of smartphones, which are not only digital card storage facilities used in ApplePay / GooglePay and other payment services, and reliably guarded by wallets that support any type of electronic asset. After all, in the not too distant future we will not care what paying for our morning coffee - with cryptocurrency, intergalactic credit obligations, or the money we are used to.

      Like most other potentially innovative technologies, a blockchain gadget will require infrastructure - support for payments with cryptocurrency not only on unknown sites, an adequate legislative framework in most countries and at least a similar degree of perception of blockchain technologies, which, for example, wai -fie. When putting things in order in these things, you can see similar solutions in the devices of the 1st echelon brands. The usefulness of such a wallet in a smartphone is much more than the wow effect of a display that folds. A strange sensation. It seems that you have been walking around with a unique gadget all month, others do not even have such a thing nearby. Even reviews are especially absent, in general, there are only a couple of short articles on the Internet, mainly on cryptocurrency resources ... It should take your breath away from the feeling of being close to something unusual, but here 2 factors come into play.

      Firstly, the cryptocurrency hypetrain, if not completely liquidated, then certainly moved to a backup path and defended in a dead-end depot. The aspirations of cryptocurrency owners for simple earnings (a sharp increase in the price of assets, such as what happened in 2017) has faded a little, and although the market is developing, it does not have big leaps, entire industries are still not switching to blockchain. Secondly, there is enough data about HTC U12 +, which became a technical donor for this device, and the differences between them are limited by the programs and the design of the back cover.

      Security is another matter. Those who like to save their own valuables in a safe, tightly closed and with a lost key, are likely to consider all the methods of protection that were taken by the engineers of the NTS to be small. As we know, the weakest link in every protected system is its user. As a result, anyone who wants to take possession of other people's finances can spy on the PIN code from the Zion program or force them to enter it.

      • Support for cryptocurrencies.
      • Low level of security.

      Summary

      Technology pioneers are always challenging, so NTS is commendable. They took a chance to play on a new field, made a quality product and improved the profile software. Here are just the gadget itself managed to become older, just appearing on the market.

      Thus, the HTC Desire 12+ is the best option in terms of price and quality among HTC smartphones for the season 2018-2019, although in the review it is referred to budget models.

Articles

There are just a huge number of smartphones on the market. And the Taiwanese company HTC is known for making some of the best phones. Even if she is not among the market leaders, her products enjoy stable popularity.

New devices come and go. Sometimes it can feel like it's difficult for us to keep track of all these changes. Therefore, this article provides a constantly updated list of HTC phones you need to know about. We have selected the ones of interest.

HTC U12 +

A flagship smartphone intended to replace last year's U11 model. It features a 6-inch LCD display in 18: 9 format, a touch-sensitive fingerprint reader, an impressive 3,500mAh battery and Android 8.0 Oreo (upgradeable to Android P). The device is equipped with two dual cameras. The main camera has a telephoto lens (for shooting distant objects) and a wide angle lens.

There is no conventional U12 variant. Therefore, the U12 + is HTC's only flagship in 2018 so far. Along with a large battery, large display and three body colors, U12 + expands the capabilities of the Edge Sense function. Now there are even more control options by squeezing its body. The quality of the buttons is constantly improving thanks to software updates.

Other than that, you get great specs with a Snapdragon 845 processor and 6GB of RAM.

HTC U11


The U11 has reinvented HTC's design after years of stagnation. The wide range of colors and glass body enhance the originality of the design. This is the first smartphone to include Edge Sense. It allows you to get quick access to various functions of the device by squeezing its body at the sides. Once done, you can turn on the camera, take a photo, or launch Personal Assistant.

The U11 is last year's flagship with outstanding specs: Snapdragon 835 processor, 4 or 6 GB of RAM, 64 or 128 GB of internal storage, great camera. HTC UltraPixel technology supports HDR Boost, similar to HDR + from the Google Pixel.

Add to that the beautiful and intuitive HTC Sense interface to see that the U11 remains quite competitive today. At the same time, it is noticeably cheaper than a number of top models from other companies.

HTC U11 +


HTC U11 + has received a new design compared to HTC U11. It has an 18: 9 display, a 3930 mAh battery and software based on Android 8.0 Oreo. There are 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of internal memory, as well as two full-featured SIM-cards.

The cost of the device compares favorably with other top-end Android phablets such as the Google Pixel 2 XL. The U11 + uses HTC's Edge Sense technology and hardware buttons (which the new U12 + lacks).

HTC 11 Life


On the international market, the device is presented with an unmodified Android One OS. This mid-range model from HTC follows the design nuances of its older flagship colleagues in many ways. Reduced screen, more modest software. The result is a more affordable price.

The device is equipped with a Snapdragon 630 processor. The display is covered with acrylic glass. There is biometric protection. Following current trends, HTC engineers have added a fingerprint scanner to 11 Life. The main 16-megapixel camera takes amazingly high-quality images. There is a standard set: autofocus, flash, optical stabilization.
