HTC U11 Review

[@santoshmoopanar6584]

sometimes it feels HTC are the only innovators in the market better than everyone let me explain what ever they did with their products the industry as a whole followed it 1.all metal design on M7 when competition was on plastic (notification light inside micro drilled speaker grill was dope) hope someone remembers it 2. stereo sound (boomsound) which became industry standard later 3.duo camera on m8 one as shooter and other for recoding depth of field for bokeh effect was a great idea and the industry is catching up now only the software then lead to it's downfall 4. 3d camera shooter on evo 3d was way ahead of the time 5. fingerprint sensor on HTC one max even before iPhone 5s 6. how can one forget the first Android phone ,first Windows phone , first 4g phone and many small things things such as clicking picture while recording video simultaneously, lock screen widget, blinkfeed, ois in front camera, now the 3d audio namely were somewhat industry first they really nailed the core of the user experience that too without bloatware and the phones were gimmick proof which is complimented by their industrial design the only thing which lead to the downfall of the company is their management and their marketing they were the first but never capitalized​ on it if they had got their management right during the m8 period we might have seen more ground breaking innovations from the company rather than just edge sense

[@TheZvonko1]

Bravo!

[@monstalova]

Yep. Just like TV's too all Samsung does is copy other people. Sony and HTC have been so innovative with all their new features. They get ridiculed for it. Then a year later big companies like Samsung and Apple will steal it. Then advertise the hell out of it and make it seem like it's amazing. Pay off big reviewers and there's your sales. Companies like Apple and Samsung spend most of their money on marketing, unlike the real tech companies who spend it on R&D. They either flat out steal it or fine-tune the features and software a bit more then mass market it as the greatest thing ever. Will never buy or support corrupt companies like LG, Samsung, Apple etc.

[@chrisb1906]

I thought they should have left the kickstand on their phone. The dual Beats speakers was classic, wish they left it. Removing the 3.5mm headphone jack, aka the iPhone was a lame ass move. I still love their phones though

[@Hari-kx2er]

@@monstalova Ok, you are indeed within your rights to criticize Samsung and Apple. But let me make a case for the other side. Samsung 1) They first brought Amoled screens to smartphones and now it is mainstream 2) They brought multitasking to android first via touchwiz dual window before Google took it with nougat. 3) Galaxy SII was one of the first if not the very first Android smartphone with dual core processor. 4) Samsung is the only android smartphone manufacturer with their own processor division (Exynos). Neither HTC has one nor Sony or LG. Apple 1) Their software support obliterates any Android competitor 2) Their A series processors are often faster than any Snapdragon, Exynos or Mediatek 3) iPad outright destroys all Android tablet competitors whether in raw processing power or App support. 4) Video recording in iPhones is still superior to android phones

[@AdarshPandeyFilms]

This phone seems legit to me! Great camera, audio, display, performance, build quality.. and a decent price. If the squeeze feature is a gimmick, we can simply ignore it, since it is not contributing negatively in any way.

[@RyeonLok]

the squeeze features is LEGIT! it is so handy for me to launch many shortcuts with natural instinct.

[@projectgraham414]

Did anyone see THIS coming after the fail that was the Ultra? I'd seriously a U11 over the S8 or even G6. And that RED!!!!! GLORIOUS. 😵

[@NeXMaX]

It's significantly better than that U Ultra. A better phone and a better deal. I still don't understand why that phone was priced so high.

[@holycrapimbatman1760]

D13H4RD2L1V3 i think its a kind of marketing. You know the htc u ultra is never meant to be a phone that everyone likes, it is meant to be a phone that everyone hates. it is like a review device. you release some devices and see how people are responding about the pricing and all. And another thing is when a company releases a phone that is hated by all they wont expect much from its flagship and then they blow the people away by their flagship. It is alot better than u ultra . well it is meant to be because it is a flagship afterall...

[@StevenHoagland]

*Dashing*Graham Cluck Those of us who follow HTC, pretty much knew that a replacement for the 10 would come in the Spring, despite the U Ultra release early in the year, especially since HTC always uses the latest processor in their flagships. U Ultra is a good phone that was wrongfully bashed. My biggest beef with it is it doesn't work on Verizon. U11 pretty much ticks all the boxes and works on all carriers.

[@TejBBF223]

the problem for me was always camera on HTC phones. Now i can finally go back. Gonna buy the U12 though.

[@guhaniyer5601]

D13H4RD2L1V3 it's mostly because of the screen

[@mmorales508]

Come on Mr. Fisher this is the first time that I have to totally disagree with you. Over the past years you and everyone else has bashed HTC cause of their high prices, no IP ratings, bad cameras, no fingerprint scanners and low volume on speakers (HTC 10). This time and since the HTC 10 they have delivered solid performance phones and this U11 has everything people asked, even the dammed glass back, but everyone still hates on them. For the first time they price their true flagship really well below the competition and now you complain is not expensive enough????? Squeeze feature is not a gimmick in my eyes and I think it will be very useful for us here in New England (I'm also from Boston now in Shrewsbury) during winter time. You're the only person so far that says the camera is average, I know that's your opinion, but man. I think it is wise for them not to use that weird apsect ratio for now since most of the apps and content doesn't support it and I'm sure that next year they will jump on that wagon as well, for now I applaud them for not going that way. Yes I hate the fact it doesn't have the 3.5 jack, I hate is not cold metal but thats it, it is a solid well built fast phone that will get faster updates than any Samsung and won't lag as those. I really couldn't believe you actually said some of the things you said Mr. Fisher with all due respect. Also why people ask for glass back phones just to complain about fingerprints?! It is obvious that glass attracts fingerprints!

[@surzsid]

I completely agree with Morales here. It seems like he didn't give a chance for U11 to grow on him and seems like he had an agenda against this phone from the beginning saying about contradictions

[@scotthaan1046]

All due respect, you are clearly distorting what he said about the price. He didn't complain because it is not expansive enough, but rather he thinks people who willing to pay that much money will want bit more advanced ones despite the bit higher price. And those who care about reasonable price more will have very strong competitor like One Plus 3t. You probably already knew what he meant but you are just angry because he didn't love your favorite phone.

[@Jhihmoac]

M Morales - Actually, Mike Fisher did not bash HTC at all... Last year's HTC 10 was a phone he held on to and really used a lot... It's just that there are some things about the 10 that are difficult to compare to and beat...

[@harshvardhan990]

It is a good phone but the competition is even better. I personally don't think anyone except HTC's loyal fans would buy this over bezeless screen of S8 or wait for OnePlus 5. And about the squeeze feature, I haven't used it myself but the side of the phone is made up of metal and why would you squeeze your hand with metal... it will just hurt your hand.

[@insainllama]

I feel like this reviews conclusion doesn't make much sense. The phone has everything people have been asking for from HTC and its in most cases more practical than the S8. I don't see how a couple software gimmicks that can be turned off anyways could overshadow everything else that's excellent on this phone. I like your reviews a lot, but I think this one really fell flat.

[@RyanX1899]

Robert Hardy no idea how edge sense can be called a gimmick. Samsung gave people a button that opens an assistant and nothing else. edge sense is programmable and will have so many use cases. apps could also utilise the feature and will prove to be very useful for zooming in and out of maps for example. it's a brilliant innovation.

[@monzerassar7503]

Why would anyone want the s8 over the u11? The screen? That only? I can have a better audio experience, smooth UI, better looking phone imo and a camera with no oversaturation that makes you feel that it's coming from a 50s pin up photo shoot. The U11 ticks all the boxes for me, and I wonder why did you say that the s8 is more "advanced"? I have a hard time believing that the taller screen is the only reason.

[@Pler1978]

Monzer Assar not sure if serious... No one wants the U 11 so it seems that most disagree with you... HTC better stick to mid level they are well below Samsung and Apple.. Only sprint carrying them tells you everything you need to know... Pretty soon they won't be in stores...

[@monzerassar7503]

martyjanderson I can't see in the comment section that "most"disagree with me. And are you kidding me, HTC below Samaung? Lol, they can't even optimize their damn software. They bought an audio company for 7 billions and still, their audio is crap. HTC was the first to make an android phone and still craft brilliant phones. If it weren't for their bad marketing choices and lack of multi-carrier support, they would have had a bigger segment in the market. S8 is a beautifully made smartphone, but the u11 is more superior in every aspect other than the screen.

[@SwordBlaze]

Monzer Assar It's because of this thing called "Personal Preference". I'd prefer the S8 over any other phones in a heartbeat (Even tho I'm using the S8 rn). And IMO the S8 has better camera than HTC cuz S8 camera isn't even that oversaturated and the exposure is awesome. Anyways, I respect your opinion

[@drainboy]

don't worry i'm getting the u11

[@cosmingosav]

Monzer Assar People like different things. In your eyes, the U 11 is better than the s8. That's cool man. It's true that the u11 has a lot of nice features that the s8 hasn't but same thing goes the other way around. Personally I don't give a shit about fancy DAC or boom stereo speakers because i rarely use a speaker, and the htc software IN MY OPINION is worse than samsungs at this point beacuse they took what makes stock android dull and strapped some fake assistants on it. And then all the sheep say : "oh but it's smooth", which slowly is becoming irrelevant as i never experienced hiccups on my S7 edge and have had it since launch. But that's just an opinion and no phone is objectively the best on the market. It's about what's best for YOU. If a company does a better phone that caters to my needs then i'll buy it. I don't care about brands or manufactures.

[@EpicallyEvil1]

Ahhh good old HTC, Probably the best phone producer with the most underrated phones of all time. I almost never see anyone with an HTC device yet they produce some of the best out there. I remember how revolutionary the HTC M7 was back in the game with the all metal unibody design and now they are back at it with this Liquid metal design they got going on. I really hope they sell enough and don't go bankrupt. People need educating about phones and need to realise there are more brands other than Samsung and Apple.

[@geforce5591]

I had less problems with my M7 in the two years I had it than my LG G4 in 1 month. The M7 was that good. It even had better audio for music. Only pro from switching to the G4 was the bigger screen.

[@sushantdeo7236]

best phone but it's going to be underrated like HTC 10

[@Asthbendriel]

Until they save enough over the years to start working on good advertising, they're gonna be underrated This is for sure the way to go though, they're on the right path when it comes to the phone itself

[@jortuspelatus7364]

D Walker Even if it's just the screen that stands out on the S8 it's still a DAMN FINE screen.

[@InitialDAmine]

I'm more conflicted about this review, picking up on stuff that such as edge sense and HTC Campanion as faults is rather stupid because you can simply not use either if you don't want to, simple as that. So basically there is nothing to be conflicted about in this phone, it is shapping to be the best phone of 2017 aside from aestetics (the front) everything else is top notch

[@SunsJoel]

Dear Mr Mobile, this review is more contradictory than the phone. The s8 has a better display (if you get one without red tint) and looks prettier. However, the U11 camera is just as good, similar battery, much better audio, both through the headphones and loudspeaker, much faster software not to mention quicker updates. Its pretty much what the Pixel should've been. You seems to be bashing the phone for no apparent reason.

[@s.y.7866]

[@jngo102]

Sensible KZbinr Marques never reviewed the U11.

[@MrDetox2u]

i guess smaller bezels

[@dearbasheer]

@MrMobile [Michael Fisher] How is Samsung S8 more advanced ? A hollow comment just like that?!? You meant the half baked Bixby? Or the awkwardly placed scanner? Or the infinity display that is prone to ghost touches? Thought of you as a good sensible unbiased reviewer until this video. Did you just said that HTC U11 is not pricey enough? Is that a con? Wow, that beats me.

[@hakim0485]

He seems to be critical about U 11 and people seems to be critical about this review. After reading the comments on different U 11 review videos it seems HTC has finally done something right, as I have never seen this many people in favour of HTC in long time.

[@abhishekjadhav8814]

yes me too,, people are really digging this phone!!

[@pierret8633]

all the s8 lovers coming here bagging the phone. let's compare how they perform 12 months from now. we already know that answer !

[@insainllama]

Idk why Samsung doesn't just use exynos for all of their flagships. My s7 with the snapdragon chip was a laggy slug after six months.

[@pierret8633]

insainllama my whole family have had galaxy ranges from 5-8. All have had problems to lag and freezing. They had had constant broken screens . purple line through screens. battery charge problems , sim card problems. I'm talking 6 or 7 phones here. not one of them listen to me to buy a HTC . I've never had to return my phone. They have multiple times. Samsung are not what they are made out to be. whilst HTC is under appreciated

[@ValenNitto]

Pierre T speaking of that, I'm actually watching this on my htc M7. Letting my htc 10 charge haha

[@insainllama]

I feel ya. Im currently using an HTC Desire 530 while my iPhone screen gets repaired. While this thing is pretty slow, I don't hate it. While I would still rather use my iPhone, its interesting to see that even an HTC low end device can be pretty decent and much more enjoyable than other low end devices. Heck I even like this thing better than my old Nextbit Robin.

[@Pler1978]

Pierre T ok it's so bad but they keep buying Samsung phones... No one buys HTC as a first choice I'd be suprised if HTC survives more than a few years... So enjoy it while YOU CAN. THEY CAN'T even afford to advertise

[@Philosophey]

I don't really see how you can call s8 more advanced than this phone. In what aspect s8 is more advanced than this phone except screen? Also you seem to miss the point of squeezing. It's a new tech that needs app support to develop. Hardware is there, app developers just need to use it for effective shortcuts etc. Skipping songs in spotify for example, so you can squeeze the phone in your pocket to skip to next song etc.

[@ripzy1234]

Yet another underrated HTC phone Michael I agree with most of your points but I'm immediately switching to it from my LG G6 gimmicks or not they've got solid requested features locked down such as water resistance, improved boomsound speakers that still beat most flagships today and a camera that is up to par with the top end devices if not better and I have hope for the squeeze features to be developed enough to a point of usefulness. but hey once again a great detailed review.

[@TheMrMobile]

+Nizzy hey man I feel that. You might miss that wide angle shooter, but BoomSound beats *everything* out there today hands-down.

[@ripzy1234]

MrMobile [Michael Fisher] I know I sure will :( but the camera improvements alone make it superior compared to the G6 oh and the audio capabilities related to it are dope and I'm really glad you said boomsound is back! man do I miss the days of having a great sounding device it gives me great comfort knowing they're one of the only companies still pushing their sound capabilities compared to flagships adopting single speakers :/ This phone has really grown on me after some deep thought lol.

[@norbelthomas]

It is pretty sad to see such a famous channel releasing a poor and review full of discrimination. Even comparing to the flagships of different brands, the HTC U11 still stands out at multiple aspects including the camera ability, microphone quality with acoustic focus function, edge squeeze for underwater photography, nice battery life under relatively small battery and most importantly, the fluent interface. With all these wonderful merits, this channel just mentioned the pros at the speed of light, and left most of the time criticizing under harsh and uncomfortable tone. Really feel sad and sorry for another once famous channel currently losing its credit.

[@nerovanguard846]

It's because those cons are true. It's not discriminating anything

[@trs5127]

Over half of the video was pros, then a few minutes of cons, then more pros and then conclusion. That's a standard mrmobile video. And all the cons are true. It's you wearing rose tinted glasses when looking at HTC

[@heidis2330]

[@ClipsInMotion]

First time ever being disappointed with a review from you. I'm not a brand loyalist and will get whatever is better. The only thing reviewers mention about phones in 2017 is the infinite display. Htc U11 is the best overall phone, just like the HTC 10 when it came out. Everything is way above average or the best. You cant say the same for Samsung, LG etc.. Samsung has the best display but the lag is ridiculous and the speakers is straight garbage..

[@Devilfairy1]

Sincerely, it deserves more praise than people give it. Its better than S8 in my opinion. Most companies don't even focus on the audio features, HTC is the only one which has struck to its guns when it comes to providing great audio experience. I think U11 will be the phone on which you will make a video about next year saying how amazing it was just like most reviewers did for HTC 10. And seriously!! criticizing it for the change in name, for adding a U. Don't get me wrong man, I love your reviews but this time I disagree on few points. The only turn off for me was the small battery and the lack of 3.5 mm jack.

[@andyH_England]

These reviewers all take great pleasure in knocking HTC yet all they dislike is quite unreasonable, they knock the HTC for the gimmicky squeeze, yet I see the potential in this and then they praise the s8 for being advanced, yet the s8 is full of gimmicky pointless useless stuff from DeX to Bixby to pulse sensor to Edge screen! I really do not understand these reviews and feel that reviewers have ulterior motives which makes me sad. Many of us want a great performing phone that does the main things well and the HTC does this in spades. The front fingerprint sensor is essential, great speakers, a must, great audio compared to the average s8. Watch speedtests and the s8 is slow, and the U11 is the first time I have seen it wack the Samsung in those tests. The aspect ratio of the screen, why these skinny length phones, I much prefer the wider U11. The noise canceling headphones are great, the directional mic is useful, where are the useful s8 features? A poor review that jumps on the "I love Samsung and everything else is not good" band wagon, that has become very boring and I feel these KZbin reviewers are now at the whim of certain viewers, the teen market, and their reviews are to maximize clicks; praise the s8 and knock the rest. I expected more from mR Mobile😔

[@Recklean]

Please be aware that it is called ACTIVE noise cancelling, NOT acoustic. Acoustic is what Bose uses for their headphone as branding. You have done that in multiple videos :) orherwise i love your videos :)

Iphone uses the same software years, iphone first copied the metal body from HTC and the even the 3D touch was coppied, and you talk about S8 the most gimiky phone of the year. The display is 2k butwe can't use it, and please come U 11 with it, U 11 will knock it off, and watch pocket now's video about the disply of S8 biggest gimik. Thankyou sir. Love your work

I agree with you except the part where iPhone copied HTC with metal because the first iPhone ever had a metal back

[@stevehirjak7824]

I think this is your hardest review on an HTC yet. You usually really like their stuff. It's also one of the hardest reviews on the U11 yet. Everyone else seems to think the camera is "at least as good" as the S8 while yours is "almost as good." Can't wait to try myself. I totally agree with the Sense companion and I can't believe they are still trying to put Blinkfeed into their phones which is awful. I do think this phone is the best buy out currently (barring a stunning camera and solid software on the upcoming Oneplus 5), though. I hope it gets the love it's due from the public, but online only generally only results in sales to geeks...so I think you may be right on the sales...S8 for most, geeks will shop for cheap phones like the new Motos or the Oneplus.

a great sound and a very very good camera that beats s8 alot specially in low light and IP 67 a good price ....and s8 isnt an advanced phone if you think that a big screen that most of the apps open with black bars the top and the bottom no it isnt this year htc did a very good job yeah it could have been better but I think U11 better than S8 in terms of improvements from last year ...samsung didnt make any thing new except the design

Mr Mobile, I disagree with the overall theme of your review. You're one of the most objective reviewers out there but you've just lost the plot here! Squeezing is natural and intuitive and with future software updates, it's only going to get better. Battery life has been great on my unit and maybe past experience is clouding your judgement here since the camera on this one is an absolute stunner! Maybe you need to give it another chance and re do this review?

Hey Michael...I think this is the first time I totally disagree with you about a review I think you're wrong on this one...this phones got something for everyone ...music lovers got great audio ...camera lovers it's got a great camera ...people who like fast software experience close to almost close to stock .. much cheaper than a pixel...Built quality great with the stunning new look... and unique way to launch your camera... tops specs for those that care about whether it's an 835 with 64gb ....The only thing is Phone doesn't have is that new screen ratio ...and the best part is it's cheaper then the other leading flagships of 2017 so I don't see how this isn't a win-win for anybody that wants a new phone

[@TechLineHD]

This review just told me exactly what I thought about this phone without even having it.

[@MinhPham0407]

I think the issue here is due to Michael's statement at 7:40 " I expect most people will...". Michael did praise the U11 as a good phone, many times in the video, but this statement implies that the U11 is not a good buy. Personally, I think it's a bit harsh on the U11. This is the 1st time in many years that I can see a HTC flagship that can go head to head with big competitors' offerings without real compromises.

[@multisolchemicals914]

most unbiased review ive seen so far. i'm absolutely going to buy this phone but i feel some reviewers are over exagerated with how incresible this phone is while others are just deliverately trying to bash the phone in favor of the galaxy s8

[@multisolchemicals914]

i think sticking with 5.5", 16:9 aspect ratio is fine but they should made efforts to make the bezels smaller by moving the finger print sensor and swithing to on sceen buttons

[@FadeDance]

The squeeze seems like an awesome camera shortcut! It's instant instead of having to hold down a tiny camera button (you know those times when you want your camera ready NOW) and overall it just seems like a rare innovation in an ultra conservative "me too" smartphone space. The audio features are underplayed as well. Tuning the phone body to boost resonance for phone audio, 3d audio recording by default, 4 mics, audio focus, and the hardware integration with the included earbuds (some of which was glossed over in this video) are all interesting and useful features! I also love that they actually took the effort to bring a unique design language from concept to execution like Sony does instead of just jumping on the forgettable design trends of the year. And the camera. From what I can see it's the best phone camera on the market aside from the XZ Premium. The iPhone doesn't have accurate colors while the S8 has oversaturation and oversharpening of images. Now, as a Sony owner I have some harsh words for Sony's image processing (low light and indoors has some serious problems that flowers and review pictures don't always capture) and overall I come away going that the U11 has the best camera in the market, tied with the Pixel. For some reason I think this is a phone that I could really love to own, and that over time it could be greater than the sum of its parts. I wish it had a glance screen feature and wireless charging, but regardless this is the phone I want to own, and I don't think I'm making a compromise in saying so.

[@roeshak10]

a little harsh Michael. I think so anyway. sure the s8s design makes this look dated and I'm not trying to subtract from how important that is especially from a retail perspective, but overall it's a good phone and priced reasonably. dx0 scores to one side the camera is good enough to satisfy most. as you say the software is fluid and it's got great audio options. It probably would have served HTC better to have priced it at least $150 less than the s8 seeing as it loses to that device on the disign display and camera fronts which are the key areas for consideration when most compare. having said that in 2018 they all need to step up on design. no matter how good the spec sheet is, how well it performs, how great it sounds or how premium it feels, if it looks 10yrs older than it's competition, it's sure to get overlooked by many.

[@cyianlee]

Edge Sense + Beautiful 3D glass back = Selfie pictures with unmatched quality! The shinny glass back can serve adequately as a mirror. Using Edge Sense to control the camera and the back mirror, I was able to take selfie pictures, error free and easily, with the rear camera. Edge Sense is not a gimmick, in my opinion. The only bad feeling I have against it is why such a easy and brilliant idea didn't come out earlier.

[@dunwolf3090]

This is the worst review I saw in a long time. just say you like the S8. Because to say S8 is more advanced is just crap. the only thing more advanced is the screen. I saw a lot a reviews about this phone. The specs are the same but that's it. the only thing the s8 is better in is 4k video stabilization. audio htc destroys Samsung. and even the camera with photos. I don't know were you get your info. but please call this my opinion and not a review. a review must be reasonable with facts backing up. You didn't give any but only say there are more advanced phones out there. that's just not telling the truth. If you hate HTC just say it. don't bash it like you give an honest review.

[@Jubestwager]

Really surprised by the negative review, especially about the camera and battery life. Which version of the U11 was used in this review? The Sprint version or unlocked? Another reviewer mentioned that the Sprint version didn't get the latest camera updates yet. Maybe the Sprint software is affecting battery life too?

[@shaunlangenberg]

Nothing more exciting than seeing a new MrMobile upload!

[@jamesk3677]

I don't mind the regular display

[@aurelian1]

I like that you replayed that bowling shot *just* long enough for us to see the result.

[@aazanahmed8325]

Just when I left KZbin to start my assignment you upload. What are the odds ?

[@k0zzu21]

I have watched almost all of your videos and liked them, but now I gave a dislike. I think the points you made on this phone weren't justified. The only real flaw is the lack of headphone jack and the squeeze feature is not a gimmick during winter time. This phone will fail no doubt commercially, but that's all because of a lackluster marketing budget.

[@shawnorjiakor]

Lauri Koskinen Agreed

[@gcg8187]

Lauri Koskinen yeah I agree, I don't understand his complaints against the phone. he has a problem with the marketing of the device? And one thing about the phone that's kind of gimmicky but kind of not? Why does he have a problem with it almost I don't get it, its not clear.

[@tarunshukla3781]

I have to ask this after watching this video... "Can I get your HTC U11 ?"

[@priyo4388]

Congratulations HTC !! You made an awesome device. Already pre ordered it.

[@Zandaia]

Just ordered a Solar Red variant! Too amazing to resist!

[@isse304]

he didn't talk about how it's faster than the s8.

[@demon23ro]

Amazing how a great audio experience ( recording / playback ) has become a feature in a phone.. that helps it stand out from the rest of the "phones" out there.. Audio is so underrated these days..

[@OddmanGames]

Hi, Anyone can tell me if is it possible to transmit the screen via HDMI - type C cable? thanks Specifically I should use it with elgato hd60 capture card 😀

[@kamraniqbal270]

HTC is a true flagship. Only thing it is lagging behind is the front face design. Otherwise nothing comes close. Flagship performance(better than Samsung and LG), that audio system literally obliterates any other smartphone, LCD 5 screen which is not too far behind Amoleds and a camera which is actually better than most of the cameras out there. ( At par with s8 and Pixel). I see no reason how is that edge sense a gimmick. Squeezing doesn't need you to adjust you grip while a button does. S8 is all screen and show off, and Bixby? Seriously? Isn't that a gimmick? What about LG's flagship price with outdated processor. I think U11 is the best flagship of this year for now until Pixel 2 and iPhone comes out.

[@MRbeqa100]

Top CPU/GPU, one of the best camera, amazing stereo speakers and stunning headphone playback, IP67, QHD display, good software implementation, shiny look, affordable price what a hell we want more?

[@Nanomak1]

Waiting for the xz premium review cause I want to buy it or the HTC u. Great review as always

[@shawnorjiakor]

My price is good enough for me. I going to buy it.

5:30 so we are advocating for giant Monopoly now eh? f the competition right Michael? give everything to Google already.

[@aja8590]

The general consensus in nearly all U11 KZbin videos comment sections is that the U11 is the greatest phone ever created, and the S8 is "dah laggiezt piece of crap eva made, fuck Samsung". Thank you for delivering a balanced and objective review, as always.

[@alanti67920]

NewOrder66 Sith Can you give me an example of a KZbinr who said that ? You're the first one I see complaining about youtubers loving HTC and bashing Samsung, which I think there is almost none of

[@meedosolami]

from saudi arabia ....addicted to your videos..since pocketnow...keep it up Michael

[@hahahahahahhaist]

Right after mkbhd your review are the one I trust the most

[@sergioft1386]

I really like your videos, they are not excessivily long, and the way you do them is pretty entertaining and fully informative. I bought my phones mostly based in your reviews, I am waiting for your reviews for the future Moto Z 2 Force and the future OnePlus 5. You do a great job Mr. Mobile!

[@HarshVardhan-wd9xo]

I really think that this is the best phone so far..... and much better than that laggy samsung s8.... and I personally don't like the bezelless designs...... well it's my opinion though .....

[@TheDuplantier]

i pre ordered this as soon as the video ended. thanks michael

[@darkskoliro]

Wait...but how is the S8 more high tech? Because it has smaller bezels? At this point even with just the audio zoom and speakers it is already more "high tech" than the S8... Not hating, but just pointing that out.

[@kendricsmith6178]

If they would've did a crazy screen to bezel ratio then It would be very modern lookin on the front

[@zacharypalmer5056]

Excellent review, but the fact that the title does not include the phrase "main squeeze" is slightly disappointing

[@DF-ud7un]

The HTC U11 is a good phone but they should have did a little more with the screen. Also wireless charging would not have hurt.

[@Jwtiyar-Nariman]

From this video now i understand that you and some reviewers are behaving that you get paid for review any flagship device from any company except HTC, because of this every year you are saying same shit things about HTC, its been a whiel you are telling the shit that htc don't have water resistant now they have it and you say SCREEN and the traditional screen size, Whats wrong with you guys? Just tell me whats the advanced thing that samsung have over U 11? Fingerprint place? shame on you, iam not understanding you people.

[@anoncrazynonevilgooddecent7631]

Im getting this phone is it still good to get this phone even if it’s kinda old when it came out? It’s not too old for me to get it?!

[@kusaluprety232]

I was waiting for this for a while.

[@flyingpenandpaper6119]

7:25 "quietly brilliant smartphones" I see what you did there

[@AntCoolSkid]

The m8 was my last HTC but the glorious red edition could easy sway me back.

[@anirudhmenon5280]

Can you please do a review on the Sony XZ Premium?

[@212maxx]

Samsung S8 more advanced ??? I don't think so.... A gimmicky rounded over saturated screen with distorted image at the edges is hardly an advancement. Meanwhile U11 after checking out all the reviews , best camera, best sound, by far the quickest phone on the market, most accurate screen colour,( no over saturated cartoon looking image) beautiful design..etc, all for the very best price for a flagship phone, what more could you want?

[@ChrisJones-ht9zn]

The thing I can categorically say without reservation is that this year has given us some fantastic android phones with a few more still to come. There's a great android phone for everyone out there. It's over to Oneplus and Google now to show us what they are made of. I've always had a massive soft spot for HTC but was losing interest. I think HTC have shown a lot of guts bringing this phone to the table. It's not for everyone but I'd like to take my hat off to the HTC engineers and say well done guys.

[@gabzsy4924]

Michael, The Motorola Z2 Play came out in the US? I can't find any english reviews on it, only in portughese or spanish!! I can't wait for a proper review and comparison with the first Moto Z play

[@MichaelDetwiler]

The U11 is a home run.

[@AmirRehman]

I can't complain about battery life yet. I got 6 hours of on screen time on the first day, which I find pretty fantastic coming from a Nexus 6p. Also I like the squeezing idea. I use it got taking screenshots (short squeeze) and triggering the flashlight (long squeeze) for now but I can see me using it for other things when more options become available with an update. Also, fingerprints are less of an issue for me as I carry my phone in my side pockets all the time and this alone wipes off the fingerprints for me. Totally loving the look and feel of the device and especially the sound. I'm no fan of that new 18:9 ratio from LG and Samsung as it actually takes away too much screen estate on the sides for me. HTC does a much better job here imo. Good review though. Keep'em coming!

[@mizanrahman4759]

hey Michael..I have been watching ur vids for quiet some time now.. But dissappointed with this one.. This is a great great phone.. We couldn't have asked for anything more..unlike other manufacturers who are just in the spec race, htc did change the game in the looks department..man that red is hot!! you are awsm..ur videos are awsm..and like always lets stay mobile :)

[@ThatsPety]

but really though, all that squeezing and you couldn't squeeze in a headphone jack

[@chandlerbing7496]

jnjjules I get what you are saying; but these ear buds... They are just the best. I say that based on my htc 10 earbuds. they are absolutely fantastic. everybody would love those no doubts. however I'm not sure I can say that about the phone itself 🙁🙁

[@ThatsPety]

Reza Fe'li oh, that's actually good to know!

[@skumbagsterlo6065]

Reza Fe'li forget those earbuds, can the phone drive my high impedance headphones? No? Is that only an LG thing?

[@chandlerbing7496]

Sterling Maxwell there is a cable in the box for that matter i guess!! but almost all headphones use wireless bluetooth connection.

[@skumbagsterlo6065]

Reza Fe'li still have to carry the adapter, and no, most headphones do not use Bluetooth. Most headphones use the 3.5 mm audio jack.

[@solipsistcynic9345]

What place did you take the videos at? This was an awesome smart phone review!!

[@ChadChristian]

Your videos make me want to be a better tech reviewer every time I see them. Another great video and I appreciate all the hard work that goes into making them.

[@Ghork1]

Only reason HTC sells worse than samsung is that samsung owners are forced to continusly update due to shitty laggy touch wiz, i'll probally get this, though my htc one (m7) still runs fine

[@kusaluprety232]

No it is because HTC can't do proper marketing campaign. Also, they thought having it sold by only 1 carrier rather than having it available in all 4 major US carriers. Plus, the one carrier it is sold on is Sprint, which is a low end network that is looked at for people who can't afford Verizon, AT&T, or T-Mobile and those people would be less likely to pick up an $600 flagship.

[@ArthurRVega]

I miss my M7.

[@PackingLess]

What camera setup do you use?

[@javenturner1]

I really like the way you review Michael, could you consider doing an XZ premium review later on when it comes out, I would really appreciate it

[@btrue2day]

How the heck is the S8 more advance that the u11??? Oh you are so paid ....

[@Cashman94]

Apple fans, PLEASE TAKE NOTE! HTC is the first now with the shiny surface at the back. Now if Apple decides to make something like this, don't call Shenanigans after 2 years. I think 5 years would be right. PS: I'm an Apple user at the moment

[@jidb-yt]

I really like this phone but the lack of headphone jack seriously puts me off. I think I'll go for the XZ Premium, hopefully Michael will review it soon.

[@luzleafcinema]

JIDB which will happen 1st, headphone ppl finally get quiet or 45 gets impeached?? The irony of your ridiculous whining is you get a decent set of in-ear phones that are noise cancelling. You also get a connection in case you do wanna plug in your own fave cans. Everyone wins, why are you still crying???

[@jidb-yt]

LuzleafCinema I appreciate the fact that you get better headphones in box and that you get an adapter, but I don't see why they can't push USB-C audio and also put a 3.5mm jack on the phone it's not like they ran out of room. I personally don't like the lack of a headphone jack because I pretty much only listen to audio via headphones which means I often find myself charging my phone whilst also using the headphone jack, without a headphone jack I can't do that. It would mean I'm being forced to use my phone differently just because of, as far as I'm concerned, a trend.

[@mrcraggle]

Apparently, the extra microphones take up that space but we'll see what the situation is with JerryRigEverything or is the U11 another "Waste of space" like the U Ultra.

[@skumbagsterlo6065]

LuzleafCinema as for the people that already have high end headphones, why should you force them to carry around an adapter just to use they headphones they paid for with the phone they paid for?

[@RobertCarlosUSC]

I'm not sure how many people carry their high end headphones everywhere they go, but for those that don't the in box headphones work very well. They produce a great sound stage and do active noise canceling.

[@6644pmr]

Michael, is that some mr. fantastic style grey hair on the temple I see? Perhaps a Just For Men Mr Mobile review in the future?

[@n7eet]

LG: "We made our new Flagship with extremely low screen to body ratio." Samsung: "I see your bezels and raise you curved edges." HTC: "Hold my beer... I mean bezels, now squeeze."

[@danielhirsch4551]

Great work from both of you 😊 really looking forward to that solar red version. yet I will wait until the Nokia 9 and OnePlus 5 are released. What is your opinion about the DxOMark rating? Fair or bogus? where does it excell the Pixel? Action shooting?
