HTC U11 Reviews

Evaluation 5
Advantages: I liked a lot, almost everything.
The main thing is a gorgeous screen, eyes almost never get tired. There is available a night mode with a pleasant soft light.
The phone is nice to touch, just beautiful
The location of all the keys is very convenient
Sound Gorgeous
Very fast
Good camera.
Disadvantages: I bought a silicone case on AliExpress - a pad. Spigen for 1000 rubles, transparent. Sits like a glove, the appearance does not spoil, falling to the floor with a reliable elastic sound.
Comment: New phone picked up by the parameters. There were options for Samsung Galaxy S8, Huawei, Google Pixel, HTC.
HTC back in service!

Advantages: Impressed with the speed of this model. A powerful processor and more than enough RAM allow you to perform any tasks. Nothing slows down and does not hang. Wide range of LTE frequencies. In the presence of all the necessary frequencies for the use of the device in a big city. Data transfer is very fast. Wi-Fi is stable. There were no communication breaks. The speed is also very high. Loud speaker. Calls never missed. Heard from another room. The interlocutors did not complain about the quality of conversational dynamics. I hear well. I also hear the caller well. There is a small volume reserve. I liked the screen. Clear and saturated colors. Although eats a lot of energy. Battery pleasantly surprised. It works more than a day with an average load. If you stretch a little, then enough for two days. Of course, without active games and constant video. I liked fast charging from the network. The battery literally picks up 50% capacity in 40 minutes. I really liked the quality of music through headphones. The sound is rich, detailed and loud. Volume reserve is even too big. Great native headset. Very comfortable and high quality. No worse than expensive headphones. There is no 3.5 mm headphone jack, so I recommend to handle the headset very carefully.With its breakdown or loss it will be difficult to find another suitable one. The absence of a standard connector is solved by an adapter, which also acts as an amplifier. Through the adapter music is also high quality. Checked on good headphones. Cameras have not met better yet. I am not an avid photographer and do not like poking around in the manual settings. I photograph by the principle got and photographed. The pictures are very clear, with natural colors. Autofocus is fast. The main camera is definitely the strong point of this model. About the front camera I will say that it is enough for a good selfie. He did not expose her to serious tests, since he is not a fan of narcissism. From the little things very nice to have an indicator of missed events.
Disadvantages: I do not like covers and try to keep direct contact with the smartphone. I think that the tactile sensations when handling the device are very important. Therefore, I decided to pay special attention to this item. It should be noted that the device is really very beautiful and very well assembled, but the biggest drawback of this model is the materials from which the smartphone body is made. And as a consequence of the difficulty in handling. The smartphone is constantly trying to slip out of hand. As a person who handles equipment very carefully, I can say that in order to keep him you need a high concentration of attention and action. And sometimes this constant concentration is very annoying. The device does not want to once again get out of his pocket, because every wrong movement can lead to its fall. I have repeatedly come across a situation where there is no strong need to use the device, but at the same time you restrain yourself from simply picking it up and taking up your free time. If your phone ever fell from your hands, this model is definitely not for you. I can’t say anything about the strength of the body of this model, as I have so far managed to keep the smartphone from accidentally falling. I hope it will be so in the future. Also, the device has an interesting property to “run away” on a smooth surface. It is necessary to put the smartphone on a seemingly flat surface and after a while it can slip from it and fall. Therefore, carefully choose the places to which you are going to put the device. As for the markoti, I want to say that it does not cause any inconvenience at all. Of course, the back glass cover gets dirty very quickly. But fingerprints and other stains on the case are also quickly erased. Simply put and then take the phone out of your pocket or hold it smooth with a soft cloth. In any case, all the above disadvantages can be avoided by buying a cover.
Comment: Frankly, I was one of those people who think that HTC has long been dead. I must confess that I buried this famous brand early. Long looked at this unit after its official release. Watched on all sides. I watched reviews, read reviews. Long did not dare to buy. The main selection criteria were the presence of high-speed Internet, a good camera and a musical component. That is why drew attention to this model. I highly recommend this unit for purchase, provided that you take into account what I wrote in the "Disadvantages" paragraph.

Advantages: • Appearance. The smartphone looks stylish and modern;
• Good build (I have Taiwan). Front and rear glass, metal on the sides. All quality, no complaints;
• Full, standard equipment, the wires are not saved;
• 128 Gb is enough. Thoughts on the use of Micro SD has not yet arisen :)
• Camera! Honestly, the pictures are cool. PRO mode supports RAW format;
• Surprised high quality night shooting. In PRO mode, you can significantly reduce the noise;
• Awesome video shooting. After the upgrade, Full HD 60 FPS mode becomes available. The quality exceeded all my expectations. The picture is clear, rich. Without exaggeration;
• 3D Sound when shooting video (recording from multiple microphones). Very decent sound.He recorded the sound of Karelian waterfalls. The sound is lively;
• Android 7.1 with all its benefits (screen sharing, shortcuts, etc.). It works very fast!
• Yes, and the smartphone itself is fast. I used to think that my smartphone is fast, but with the HTC U11 I learned what really fast means!
• If you like toys, then on this smartphone top games will go perfectly well. For example, Dead Trigger 2, UFC - fly :)
• Clear charging indicator. If charging - orange, and if green, it means charged;
• Notification indicator. When the phone is locked, the notification indicator flashes. I used to miss this function before, when there were missed calls and I answered them only after an hour or two. Now you can immediately see that there is a missed message or message in the messenger, even when the phone is locked;
• A huge plus that while using GPS and the navigator keeps the charge from the usual USB in the car. The phone does not sit on the road and you do not need to buy 2000 mA charging from the cigarette lighter;
• I appreciated the Edge Sensor when I was on a Karelian bog standing on a fallen tree. With one hand, I held onto a nearby birch tree so as not to fall, and with the other I photographed while squeezing the hull. :) That's when I realized all the advantages of this function!
Disadvantages: • The screen is cool, the colors are saturated, the resolution is high, the picture quality is very decent, but I put the screen 4 stars because I don’t see anything in polarized glasses! Just a black spot instead of a screen. If you drive a car in polarized glasses and use the navigator, then this will be a serious disadvantage for you;
• You can not use 2 SIM cards and Micro SD at the same time. You have to choose - 2 SIM cards, or 1 SIM and Micro SD. I do not know whether this is a flaw or not, because 128 Gb is still enough :)
• Standard case is questionable. Dust clogs under it! Especially noticeable after several days of use at the top of the smartphone. Accordingly, without cleaning the appearance will deteriorate;
• Some applications cannot be uninstalled. And this is not an application "Phone" or "Messages" :) For example, Facebook, News Republic. This "imposing" very few people like it;
Comment: I found out about a smartphone from an advertisement of a popular blogger and immediately became interested. After watching several video reviews, reading reviews, decided to purchase. Took him on a trip. On the road, he never let me down. The pictures turned out great, the video too. The smartphone is definitely TOP, undoubtedly the flagship. The point is not even in the Edge Sensor, which everyone is so actively discussing :) First of all, this is a great camera, the highest speed, and of course Android 7.1. Very good solution from HTC.

Advantages: * Smart enough not to enrage. Still not used, after the old phone. Waiting all the time lag, but so far none.
* The battery was killed for the day, only when I constantly used the camera. In my usual mode (music, reading, video) is enough with a margin.
* Compression response solved for me the problem of photographing my wife without posturing.
Disadvantages: * There is no spherical panorama in the camera. In the past htc I liked this mode.
* Pre-installed bundle of google software, most of which is not needed. Not that it’s a minus, but a feeling of unnecessary rubbish.
* Very rarely there is a bug when it does not perceive (does not try) the imprint and it is necessary to enter the password. A few weeks have been a couple of times.
Comment: Overall impression - more than satisfied. There is no feeling of "pebble in the shoe" during use.

* The rear window is covered with a default cover and scored on it. Not as aesthetically pleasing, but I almost don’t look at the back surface.
* There are concerns about the headphone wire. There is a potentially weak spot at the point where the wires enter the connector, because in a pocket jeans can be quite bent.
* Sound is ok. I am not a music lover, I like everything. Timbre adjustment included, and active noise reduction turned off.
* The camera is good for the phone (but there is no limit to perfection).
* Of the bugs found only one, which is described in the shortcomings. There are no other complaints.

Advantages: Great camera. The pictures are very cool.
Very good sound. Both external and in headphones. Clean, loud, high quality.
Bright display. Everything is perfectly visible in the sun.
Excellent performance. No hint of slowing down or freezing.
Good enough battery. With standard use, I have enough for a day and a half.
Disadvantages: Lack of mini jack
Comment: The smartphone is very decent, HTC tried their best. Assembled very well. There are no complaints about the work either, everything works as it should work. I liked the function with active side edges, I take screenshots, turn on the flashlight. I am satisfied with the purchase.

Evaluation 5
Advantages: I highlight the functions that I need:
1. The camera is the best I've ever seen on smartphones.
2. Excellent screen, no glare, the picture is clear, I watch movies only in high quality. The screen leaves gorgeous impressions.
3. Build quality and tactile sensations.
4. Work speed, does not slow down, all applications open without delay.
Disadvantages: There are prints on the glass case.
There are no worthy accessories, perhaps this is due to the fact that the smartphone has recently gone on sale and soon the situation will be corrected, but now there is nothing at all in the market.
Comment: At the moment, this is the best model of the smartphone that I had.
Only positive emotions. If you have money, be sure to take u11.
It looks like htc is back in competition in the market.

Advantages: -Sound, plays very well and cleanly, the sound does not cover, good noise reduction.
- The camera is beyond praise, the photo is bad, but everything is fine, the colors are excellent, especially when you put it somewhere
- Charging holds for a day and a half
- very smart, does not slow down
Disadvantages: Of the minuses, I will only note that I'm afraid of the case, the glass is all the same (but they give a plastic case, I hope it will save it from my hands))))
Comment: I chose to change my 5S for a long time, I did not want to take a healthy phone, but I wanted a beautiful picture.
I took the U11 blue, the phone went as it should)

Evaluation 5
Advantages: - Great screen
- The loudest and clearest sound of all the phones that I heard
- Noise canceling headphones
- It works very fast
- High-quality assembly
- The camera is really awesome (if you believe DXOmark, then in principle the best in the market of mobile devices)
Disadvantages: - The battery could have been a little better.
- Not everyone can like the design
- Without a cover, fingerprints are visible on the back cover
- While not enough accessories on the market
Comment: Ordered in the Emirates, everything works fine in our networks. This almost perfect device without obvious defects. I switched from iphone 7 and I can say that if Android doesn't bother you, then HTC will be better in all aspects. The HTC brand has already buried the haters 10 times, and they all continue to delight with excellent devices.
