The HTC U11 which was unveiled last month has been launched in India today. The U11 is HTC’s flagship smartphone and carries a price tag of ₹51,990.
The HTC U11 being a flagship is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 835 SoC which is laced with 6 GB RAM and backed by Adreno 540 GPU. There’s also a 4 GB RAM variant of the U11, however, HTC has only launched the 6 GB RAM variant in India as expected.
The HTC U11 flaunts liquid glass surface which is created using a process called Optical Spectrum Hybrid Deposition. This process layers highly-refractive precious minerals across the U11’s back because of which you see different colors at different angles.
The HTC U11 also comes with Edge Sense, USonic and Sense Companion. We have already seen the USonic and Sense Companion on HTC U Ultra, however, the Edge Sense has been introduced with the U11. Edge Sense is a technology which lets you trigger different actions through different gestures along the edges of the phone. For example, you can launch your favorite app by simply squeezing the U11.
You can configure the Edge Sense the way you want so that you can perform different actions through different gestures. Moreover, apart from the Google Assistant, the HTC U11 also comes with Amazon Alexa which is similar to the Google Assistant.
“We are proud to present our flagship smartphone – HTC U11 which showcases HTC’s power of innovation by bringing to discerning customers pioneering technologies that are game-changers in the industry and reflect our strong focus on R&D and Design. HTC U11 comes equipped with unique features like Edge Sense that opens the doors to a whole new world of phone interactions. We are particularly proud of the fact that the U11 camera has achieved an incredible DxOMark 90 score, making it the highest rated smartphone ever in DxOMark history also making it the #1 smartphone camera on the market today. We are confident that the HTC U11 will set new industry standards.” said Mr. Faisal Siddiqui, President South Asia, HTC.
