HTC 11 Thread

[Deleted User]

This thread is for dicussion on the upcoming HTC 11/Ocean.

HTC have been on a downward slide for years now, and with the recent release of the U Play and U Ultra (which were generally panned by reviewers), a lot of people were questioning whether that is the beginning of the end for HTC.

Latest reports are that the HTC 11 (or HTC Ocean) will be announced in April and released in May. The device features a 5.5" QHD screen, Snapdragon 835, and 3000mAh battery. The only unique selling point is the addition of a touch-sensitive frame which allows you to control the device from the side. I know a couple of people currently testing this device in the US, and they say that this new UI doesn't offer much more than a press to select at the moment.

I don't hold out much hope for HTC. I've had virtually all of their flagships dating back to the Tytn II on WinMo, but I really feel they've lost their way. I'm still going to wait until the 11 is announced properly before deciding on what my flagship is for 2017.

Just logged on to htc club and the 64gb is down to €584 and the 128 €656. Not bad. Maybe ahead of the plus release? I may be keeping half an eye on that, 18:9 aspect ratio and rear finger sensor is appealing.

By far the most appealing thing about the plus is the 4000mAh battery. Personally, I prefer a FPS on the front, but it's gotta go somewhere if you're reducing the bezels.

Evan Blass has tweeted:

Much ado about nothing: the 11/2 HTC event is to launch the decidedly mid-range U11 Life, not the +. Dial back your excitement accordingly.

sentient_6

Ya. Hard to actually know though. People on xda saying why would htc build hype and have an event for just a single mid range.

Vahevala

If they don't release it now, when will they? If they are waiting till Q1 2018, it's too late because the S9 will be released then and they will have missed the boat! :pac:

I heard the plus had been pushed to December. This year has been a weird one, with the SD 835 production issues pushing everything back.

Did anyone have to repair their screen? Any shops in Dublin that do it?

Just got new update, on the unlocked version obviously, October security patch and 'bug fixes'.

Iv been impressed so far with the updates. Even just security patches ever 2 months goes along way.

Just got it there myself. Thanks

Interesting with the transluscent back. Looks like you can see the wireless charging coil. No idea why that wasn't on the U11.

Some screenshots of the U11+ from that YT video:

I saw on the HTC Club site it said:

This Black Friday we’re planning our biggest EVER deals. And the ONLY way you can get your hands on them is with HTC Club. Our exclusive Black Friday store will open early from 20th – 27th November, giving you even more time to shop the sale. But stock is limited

I wonder will the U11 get reduced more especially with the U11+ coming out?

sentient_6

Ya im keeping an eye on that myself. I would imagine there'll be further reductions. Im giving thought to the 128gb u11 if not the plus.

I must say I do really like that coil detail on the translucent variant.

Yeah, only real selling point is the battery. Should be impressive.

I still prefer FPS on the front and capacitive buttons like with the U11.

Vahevala

It looks much more flatter than the U11 was. Yes they put in a bigger battery but of course the screen is bigger so that will take a hit on the battery so I'm not sure when it comes down to it, how much longer it will last.

I don't really use fingerprint to unlock on my current phone but I do like a home button to be on the front of the phone, also I think the front camera isn't as good as the U11?

U11 front camera is rubbish. The 10 was better.

I guess I will wait & see, I wonder what the release date for Europe is because they didn't mention that. I love my selfies so the front camera is important to me lol.

I thought the quality of the U11 front camera from pictures I saw online looked good.

sentient_6

Im not a selfie person but iv been using the selfie camera way more lately with my daughter who thinks it's hilarious and I think the quality is quite good.

Im of two minds about the + in that I see no compelling reason to upgrade from the U11 but its has a few nice features.

U11 front camera has no OIS and the pixels are way too small. I'm sure it probably lost any head-to-head with flagships from earlier this year.

On top of that, use the squeeze and reflective back to use the main camera for a decent selfie!

Vahevala

The U11+ isn't being sold in the US :eek::eek:
