Ultimately there’s only so much you can do with a glass phone screen, and every manufacturer has pretty much settled on their design ideas, tweaking around the edges.
The one thing I loved about the HTC U Ultra was the liquid design idea. Thankfully for HTC, the U11 marks the point where the Taiwanese manufacturer appears to have actually turned a corner, because it's a genuinely great handset in almost every respect. HTC can produce great phones and has done so in the past, but it's had more misses that hits when compared against true flagships. So expectations were high for its own in-house followup device, the HTC U Ultra.ĭespite having many of the same specifications as the Pixel XL, the U Ultra was ultimately a disappointing device compared to its immediate competition, and it's a comparison that's only widened with the release of many competitor handsets through the year.Īs such, when the HTC U11 was announced, I was cautious but not terribly optimistic. The problem for HTC was that they weren't in-house efforts, even if HTC was doing the actual legwork of producing the hardware.
HTC was responsible for two of the best phones of 2016 by way of the exceptional Google Pixel and Google Pixel XL handsets.
