HTC Unveils New Flagship Smartphone Made for the Brilliant U: Meet the HTC U11

• HTC
  Edge Sense, the next dimension in touch interaction with your phone.
• Liquid
  Surface, a stunning, unique design that reflects you.
• HTC
  USonic, our most advanced headset ever built for personal audio, now
  including Active Noise Cancellation.
• Amazing
  cameras with the highest independent rating ever awarded to a smartphone
  camera1.
• HTC Sense Companion, Google
  Assistant, and Amazon Alexa for a smarter, more helpful smartphone2.

• Few things are as natural and intuitive as the sense of touch.
  HTC Edge Sense transforms this fundamental sense into a completely new
  and revolutionary interaction with your phone. With a simple squeeze, HTC Edge
  Sense lets you easily engage with your phone in an unprecedented yet intuitive
  way, helping you more naturally enjoy the things you love like taking photos,
  opening Facebook, or launching any of your favorite apps.
• For example, with HTC Edge Sense, launching your camera has
  never been easier. No more fumbling for buttons or awkward hand positions. No more
  worrying about dropping your phone while you pose. Just lift, squeeze, smile,
  and snap.
• You can also send texts faster and easier than before.
  Texting can be impossible when you are on the move, but using HTC Edge Sense
  for Voice to Text, you can speak your text messages without having to slow
  down. Lightly squeeze, speak your message and send your texts on the go.
• You can even
  customize the squeeze gesture: open email with just a squeeze. Or launch your
  favorite game (or any other app). Or pick any one of a host of options. Want
  even more touch control? HTC Edge Sense gives you the ability to activate
  advanced touch and use a “short squeeze” as well as a “squeeze and hold” for
  even more functionality at your fingertips.
• And because
  Edge Sense is based on actual pressure applied to the side of the device, it
  can be used in nearly any condition – including while wearing gloves or in
  weather such as snow or rain that would normally be a challenge with capacitive
  buttons.

• HTC U11’s liquid glass surface is crafted to impress
  using Optical Spectrum Hybrid Deposition. By layering highly-refractive
  precious minerals across the phone’s back cover, we’ve created vivid new colors
  that transforms light with every movement you make.
• The new seamless, curved look of HTC U11 is achieved with
  3D glass on both front and back. Heating and then bending the glass using
  extreme pressure results in unique, 3-axis symmetry for a phone that is slim no
  matter which way you hold it.
• HTC U11 has a 5.5” Quad HD 3D glass screen designed for
  vivid, crisp images and text in any light – even direct sunlight. With our best
  display and true-to-life color reproduction, we provide you a purer full-framed
  viewing experience. Our display avoids the cropped pictures or distorted colors
  at the edge that are the results you can expect from a curved screen.
• Plus, HTC
  U11 is water-resistant3, so no need to worry about splashes,
  spills, or dunks.

• HTC U11 introduces the latest version of HTC USonic,
  which now combines Active Noise Cancellation with the ability to tune audio to
  your unique hearing. By leveraging built-in microphones on the headset and
  USB-C data connectivity, USonic earbuds map your inner ear with an advanced
  sonar-like technology and then adapt the sound profile to your unique biology.
  This creates an incredibly personal and optimized listening experience with
  vibrant audio shaped specifically for you.
• USonic now incorporates Active Noise Cancellation, which
  reduces disruptions and distractions around you, so you can stay focused on
  your music. Active Noise Cancellation continuously monitors environmental sound
  levels, and quickly adjusts to any new noises or disturbances. You’re free to
  stay focused on your music, videos, or games.
• HTC BoomSound Hi-Fi Edition speakers got an upgrade, too.
  We’ve improved the speaker design to deliver more loudness and better Dynamic
  Range Audio. On top, the tweeter now offers an acoustic chamber that allows the
  highs and mids to sound richer. While below, the woofer sports a new speaker
  and improved magnetic circuit design for louder, clearer and deeper bass tones.
  You really have to hear it to believe the power of BoomSound.
• We didn’t forget to upgrade the microphones, either, using
  four optimally positioned omni-directional microphones together with our new
  Acoustic Focus technology, HTC brings you our best 3D audio recording quality
  yet. HTC U11’s microphones work together to record audio from all directions, and
  when shooting video with Acoustic Focus, you can visually zoom in to target
  your subject and amplify their specific sounds.
• Out of the
  box, we will also ship an HTC USB-C to 3.5mm adapter with a built-in DAC that
  offers great audio performance and wide compatibility with all other devices
  and earphones.

• HTC U11 has achieved the highest ever rating for a
  smartphone camera for both photo and video by independent metric DxOMark4. Our multi-axis optical stabilization system and super-fast
  autofocus in all lighting conditions make the camera quick, your pictures
  sharp, and videos smooth. We improved our camera and video for a more dynamic
  exposure range with HDR Boost without the lag, new white balance enhancement, a
  major reduction in noise, and excellent detail preservation.
• HTC U11 introduces Auto HDR Boost to give you all the
  benefits of HDR without the lag. HDR Boost offers clearer, more balanced
  pictures by taking multiple shots that measure the darkest shadows and
  brightest highlights without any slowdown. HTC U11 enhances textures and
  colors, increases visible detail and brings out the best in every shot. When
  shooting video, Temporal Noise Reduction automatically uses information from
  the previous and next frames to remove unwanted noise and deliver the clearest
  video.
• Great news for serious photographers: HTC U11 incorporates
  the new UltraSpeed AutoFocus with same full sensor auto-focus technology that’s
  found in top DSLR cameras, so you can enjoy significantly faster focus speeds,
  with snappy and delightful performance. In addition, HTC U11’s exceptional
  optical and electronic stabilization system will keep your photos and video
  steady and crisp even when your hand is shaking.
• The new
  front camera now combines high-resolution 16MP detail and our UltraPixel light
  sensitivity for brilliant selfies day or night. It also utilizes the same
  powerful HDR Boost and noise reduction as the main camera.

• Three brains are better than one, so inside HTC U11 you can
  find three intelligent companions devoted to you: HTC Sense Companion,
  Google Assistant, and Amazon Alexa2.
  In mainland China, HTC U11 also offers Baidu DuerOS.
• We’ve made HTC Sense Companion smarter than ever: it will
  get to know you and your daily patterns over time in order to offer you more
  convenience every day. For example, HTC Sense Companion is smart enough to
  notice if you have any late appointments that day and will remind you to recharge
  while you have time or bring a power bank. It will make sure your phone is
  running at its optimum speed by suggesting to clear junk files and unused apps
  for more free space. It will let you know if you need to dress for inclement
  weather conditions, track your fitness progress relative to your goals,
  recommend great nearby restaurants at mealtime, and much more5.
• HTC U11 runs the latest version of Android, so it also
  includes Google Assistant, the helpful personal assistant powered by Google se
  arch and services for finding directions, getting answers, managing your tasks,
  planning your day, and entertainment.
• HTC U11 is
  also the first smartphone on the market to feature hands-free wake word access
  to Amazon Alexa. By simply asking questions such as “Alexa, what’s the weather
  today?” or saying things like, “Alexa, turn on my living room lights,” Alexa
  will respond to your needs anywhere you go, making it easy to control smart
  home products, ask for news, weather, music, and the 12,000-plus skills in the
  Alexa skills store. The Alexa voice service is currently available to customers
  in the United States, U.K., and Germany.
• And in mainland China, HTC and Baidu DuerOS have built a
  strategic partnership to create a voice-based virtual assistant with speech
  recognition and voice interaction to satisfy Chinese users’ needs, which can
  better understand Chinese people and help them find what they want.

• HTC U11 is the first smartphone to be commercially released
  worldwide that is exclusively powered by the Qualcomm® Snapdragon™
  835 Mobile Platform.
  So no matter what region of the world you live in, you get an octa-core
  processor with breakthrough speeds, jaw-dropping graphics, impressively smooth
  performance and outstanding battery life. Every HTC U11 also includes UFS 2.1
  for an extremely fast processor paired with the fastest memory performance.
  Experience Gigabit Class LTE (up to 1Gbps) with the integrated Snapdragon X16
  LTE modem, which is designed to deliver fiber optic speeds on the go for
  lightning-fast music and video downloads and to get almost instant access to
  the web, social media sites or your content in the cloud. You get 25% faster
  graphics than the HTC 10, with 35% or 3 hours more video playback, 30% or 8
  hours more music playback and 43% or 3.5 hours longer web browsing time via a
  LTE network6.
• A blazing fast processor with amazing camera and incredible
  HTC USonic sound means you’ll want a lot of storage for apps, games, photos,
  music, and entertainment: HTC U11 offers 4GB RAM/64GB storage and 6GB RAM/128GB
  storage options, so fun on your phone is always available.
• HTC U11 also
  offers a fingerprint reader for enhanced privacy and security. Requiring just a
  few minutes to set up, the fingerprint reader will unlock your phone with the
  press of your finger – making it faster and easier to jot the note, capture the
  photo, or do anything you want with your phone on a moment’s notice.
