HTC will be releasing their latest flagship in a few hours time. The HTC U 11 with the U series glossy design that look simply stunning. (smartphone is like becoming a jewelry already.)
This post is based on the leaked video that was uploaded to youtube (taken down). Luckily it was mirror into another website.
Display + Processors
5.5 inch with 1440 x 2560 Pixel display.
Equipped with Snapdragon 835 and 6GB ram... Power and multitasker beast? I shall test it out once i get the phone!
Colors and Design
Seems like HTC U11 will come with 5 different colors. (Black, White, Red, coral blue? Ocean blue)
Honestly, this phone will definitely be a fingerprint magnet. As for the design, seems like not much have changed when compared to the last year HTC U series.
Camera
It will be equipped with 12MP rear camera and 16MP front-facing camera for you selfie fanatic.
Why no wide angle lens? Pardon me for being spoiled by LG G6 wonderful dual lens feature....
Squeeze Feature
As you can see, that HTC included a weird feature. By squeezing the phone, you can trigger certain application or feature.
The above picture seems like showing the configuration of the squeezing feature. If you have watched the video that I have mentioned earlier on, you will know that you will be able to take a photo, opening up chrome or activate google assistant?
Gimmick? we shall find out how useful it can get later on.
Battery + USB C
No details about the battery size yet. However, with such a large phone, it better be a huge capacity battery !!! Luckily we know that it is equipped with USB-C.
Please come back for the final announcement details tonight!

- Gone are the home button (the bottom bezel). The home button technically still there, just that it is underneath the screen now and when you press hard, it will give you feedback and bring you back to your homepage. (Virtual Button).
- The fingerprint is at the back now, beside the camera.
- IRIS Scanner is there now!
- Screen resolution is the same on both phone however now it will be able to play HDR+ mode. It will depend on the video provider. (Netflix and etc)
- Dual Pixel camera, for better low light performance and improved camera processing software.
- Front camera become 8MP with autofocus
- Bixby - Something like google assistant. For example, you can use the camera to search the landmark information or even a product in front of you.
*Bixby goals is to help you improve your day to day life... Machine learning!

Conclusion

I am currently using S7 Edge for awhile now, which I am totally in love with it.
Samsung always produces the best screen which making viewing video so pleasurable.
Even though last year wasn't the best year for Samsung due to the faulty battery incident. However, i believe that they have increased their quality check on every phone hence I still have FAITH in their product!.
I guess I will have to wait patiently for it to arrive in Singapore so that I can feel it personally. Be sure to wait for my hand on post/video and maybe I will buy one myself.
*Wink Samsung SG* I am waiting for you to contact me =p
