The announcement of the smartphone HTC U11: boring, dull, and very expensive

HTC announced its new flagship smartphone U11, that’s just the news of this was lost in the flow of information, and for good reason. The device is really the top, but without a single punch — all the chips copied from competitors and, most importantly, it is not frameless.

Yes, that’s right: while Samsung and LG already sell their frameless flagships, and Apple is preparing to release iPhone 8, HTC U11 is the design of 2015 and the smartphone even have dual cameras, that is, he did nothing to fend off the attacks of competitors. Moreover, he even denied entry under the headphones — it was cut, ostensibly for protection against water according to IP67 standard, although the Samsung S8 degree of protection IP68, and the entrance for a headset is.

HTC U11 is equipped with a CPU Qualcomm 835, 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB ROM, Gorilla glass 5 on top of the Full HD screen of 5.5 inches, 7.1 Android OS with HTC’s Sense and Sense intelligent Companion, and a camera 16 Megapixel front and 12 Megapixel rear. All this is powered by batteries at 3000 mAh, which is fast but no wireless charging. On each side cases HTC U11 has eight Edge sensors Sense that respond to short and long compression — these actions can be scheduled to run certain functions.

But all this is infinitely boring — who in 2017 need a flagship with such a giant part, and even with a horse’s price tag in the amount of $ 750? Much more cute LG G6 is cheaper, so the Taiwanese vendor again did not take into account the lessons of the past, when his flagship, nobody bought just at an inflated price. All credit of trust is exhausted. HTC, drink yadu and go out the window.
