So far, in 2017, there are five smart phones that can win the title of "Android King", including Samsung S8 series, Sony Dafa's Xperia XZ Premium, meters 6, one plus 5 , and the protagonist of this time --- HTC U11 As the former leader of the mobile phone industry, HTC U11 has finally pushed itself to the forefront of the mobile phone industry through 3D ripple glass design, beautiful colors, the strongest performance and other features.

Mobile highlights

Play point 1: The design of the back of the U11 fuselage is very eye-catching. Officially known as "3D curved surface ripple glass design", the design inspiration comes from water drops. This glass fuselage uses the light splitting and color mixing technology, which will have a different sense of hierarchy from different angles, and constantly changing colors will present a unique visual experience.  

Play point 2: U11 mainland version accesses the interactive AI operating system Baidu DuerOS. It can enable the system to communicate with users, identify the context, interact continuously, and fully understand the needs of users. Compared with Apple's Siri, it is more grounded in Chinese speech recognition and Chinese local services.  

Play point 3: Edge Sense, a border pressure touch technology, can be understood as situational interaction, which breaks the traditional interaction mode. Users can press the mobile phone border to perform various operations, and can start a small assistant with Baidu DuerOS capabilities  。

Play Point 4: The camera of U11 is rated as 90 points by DxOMark, the photo evaluation website, which is the highest score of all mobile phones at present.

Configuration&Appearance

As a flagship machine, the HTC U11 uses a 5.5 inch 2K resolution Super LCD 5 screen, covered with Corning Gorilla Generation 5 glass, equipped with Snapdragon 835 processor, 4GB RAM+64GB ROM, and 6GB RAM+128GB ROM (UFS2.1 is used for both operation and storage).  

16 megapixel Ultra Pixel camera in front (f/2.0 aperture, 150 ° viewing angle), 12 megapixel Ultra Pixel camera in rear (single pixel 1.4 μ M photosensitive, f/1.7 aperture), OIS optical anti shake and full pixel focusing are supported, and 4K video recording is supported. Equipped with 3000mAh battery, support fast charging 3.0, support IP67 level waterproof, support NFC, USB-C 3.1 (Type-C), Bluetooth 4.2, dual band Wi Fi, and Sense UI based on Android 7.1.  

It is also equipped with black technologies such as BoomSound HiFi, 3D audio recording and four high sensitivity microphones.  

The body color of the HTC U11 includes snow white, sapphire, silver grey, red and this time's Meditation Black. Meditation Black will show a light dark green in most cases, which is more delicate than ordinary black mobile phones. Each corner of the glass back of the fuselage is a 2.5D glass symmetrical design. The connection between the upper and lower glass and the metal middle frame is just right, and the hand holds a round and delicate texture.   

There is a touch home key integrated with fingerprint identification module on the chin on the front of the fuselage. The response speed of this home key is very fast. Sometimes the response speed is too fast, and accidentally touching it will cause a false touch. On the left and right of the Home key are the touch back key and the multi task switch key.  

At the bottom of the body, there are Type C connectors, HTC BoomSound stereo speakers and microphones.

Like most flagship phones, the HTC U11 cancels the 3.5mm audio interface, and the audio output is integrated with the Type-C interface. Although it is said that the headset can no longer be charged at the same time, which will be troublesome in some scenarios, HTC has a conscience that it will give a HTC USonic earphone randomly in the mass production model, which has the active noise reduction function, in addition to a 3.5mm to Type-C wire.    

On the top of the fuselage is the card holder, which is suitable for Nano SIM card (supporting dual cards and dual standby all Netcom) and Micro SD card (supporting maximum expansion of 2TB).  

On the top right of the middle frame is the volume key and the power on key, while on the bottom half of the middle frame is the sensing position of Edge Sense. When the phone is held in one hand, the finger and palm can activate Edge Sense by slightly pressing, and the phone screen will show two arcs as feedback.  

Edge Sense can set the strength of pressure grip recognition. According to the degree of pressure grip and the duration of pressure grip, Edge Sense can achieve different functions in different scenes, such as starting app, taking photos, or starting Baidu DuerOS.

Ability comes from Baidu DuerOS voice assistant -- Xiaodu

Baidu DuerOS is dedicated to providing HTC U11 with intelligent voice assistant, also called Xiaodu assistant. The user can press the HOME key to wake up or hold the middle box of the phone to start it. Like other AI assistants, the mini assistant can be used under the condition of WiFi or mobile network coverage.

The user can set the alarm clock, add reminders, adjust the screen brightness, turn on the flashlight and other mobile phone settings with a small assistant. You can also directly ask small assistants about various life services, such as nearby restaurants, what movies are there, flight time, weather, navigation, calculation, etc.

The strongest camera

The rear camera of HTC U11 scored 90 points in the famous camera rating agency DxOMark, which is the highest score in smart phones so far. The rear lens is a 12 megapixel Ultra Pixel camera with a single pixel of 1.4 μ M photosensitive, f/1.7 aperture, OIS optical anti shake and full pixel focusing are supported, and 4K video recording is supported. What is the effect of the actual shooting?  

The HTC U11's focusing speed is amazing. It is always fast and accurate enough to capture the object to be photographed. As long as the shooting picture is switched and stayed, it can finish focusing again without having to focus manually again. It can be said that it is one of the fastest focusing phones in the market.  

Because the single pixel of the image sensor under the rear camera has 1.4 μ With a sensitive area of m and a large aperture of f/1.7, very bright and clean photos can be taken in some weak light environments.  

HTC also equipped this rear camera with multi axis anti shake, full pixel focusing technology and high-speed HDR shooting function. This lens is very good in terms of focusing speed, detail texture and color restoration. Even at night, there is not too much noise, and there is no extra sense of smearing in the distant details.  

The virtual transition between the focus and the background is very natural, and the flare effect obtained by adjusting to the nearest focal length is very attractive.  

The HTC U11 is equipped with a professional photographing mode. After entering the professional photographing mode, it can also change the camera parameters like color temperature, exposure compensation, ISO, shutter speed and aperture, just like the SLR. In addition, you can also shoot the photographer's favorite RAW format. RAW format is very friendly to post editing, and is much more flexible than JEPG format photos. In addition to the professional photography mode, there are also post delay photography, slow motion and panorama, which can fully meet the daily needs of various photography.  

U11 is relatively affordable in terms of price. It is one of the few HTC flagship mobile phones in the past that is less than 5000. U11 has a dreamy color body, DXO optimized lens, innovative edge sense frame extrusion human-computer interaction function, and a very grounded DuerOS small assistant aura. This flagship can be regarded as the most playable smartphone among these "Android phones", and the one that is least likely to crash.
