HTC U11’s smartphone with the new ‘Edge sense’ feature has been launched in India at a price of Rs 51,990. The HTC U11 is up for pre-booking from today i.e. June 17, while the phone will go on sale on Amazon India and offline channels in the last week of June 2017.
The HTC U11 comes with a 5.5-inch screen with a Quad-HD (1440 x 2560 pixels) resolution. The panel, a Super LCD 5, is the same that HTC used in the U Ultra and it’s still as gorgeous as ever. Colours look every bit as rich and vibrant, if not as over saturated and eye-popping. The phone has excellent viewing angles and outdoor legibility is also spot on. There’s an option to manually correct colour temperature and a night-mode that turns them to the warmer end of the spectrum when enabled.
The HTC U11 is powered by 6GB RAM and 128GB internal memory which is further expandable via a hybrid micro-SD card slot and clubbed with a 2.45GHz octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 processor. That is as high end as it can be at this point of time.
