It is said that "heroes don't mention their bravery". In fact, HTC was really brave in those days.

Not to mention that the all metal body and dual camera lens are the first of HTC. Even ID rimless phones first appeared on the HTC M7 mobile phones. So far, there are many mobile phones in the market with HTC in design.

However, the world is changeable. HTC has opened its own way to feed others and starve itself.

Due to HTC's strategic deployment and the transformation of new business, HTC's mobile phone competitiveness is much lower than before. As the former king of Android, it is obvious that he cannot accept this fact. At the 20th anniversary of HTC, HTC U11, the long-awaited flagship of HTC's new generation, was released as scheduled. thank Love to play computer games HTC U11 black engineering prototype provided!

Configuration highlights, Snapdragon 835 CPU, DxOMark 90 point camera, 2K screen

It has achieved DxOMark 90 points, greatly improved the level of photography, and run the latest Sense UI+DuerOS intelligent voice interaction system. Users can activate DuerOS voice assistant through Edge Sense, Direct dialogue and interaction with mobile phones enable mobile phones to fully understand users' intentions, build an ecosystem of Internet applications, and truly achieve "thinking what you want, and getting it by mouth".

More than 160000 runs, faster, more amazing, and more power saving

In terms of performance, HTC U11 is equipped with Qualcomm ® snapdragon ™ The 835v is equipped with a 10 nanometer mobile processor, which brings faster speed, more amazing picture quality, smoother performance, and longer battery life. According to the official data, compared with HTC 10, HTC U11's image processing speed has increased by about 25%, video playback time has increased by about 35% or more hours, music playback time has increased by about 30% or more hours, and LTE's online time has increased by about 43% or more than 3.5 hours.

The score of HTC U11 was 160000 in the running score test of Anthuru.

PCMARK's test score is 6800, and the overall performance is strong.

In fact, the popular games such as Glory of the King, Valley of Dragons, NBA 2K15 and so on were tried. U11 performed well. There was no jam during the game, and the maximum number of frames could reach 60. After half an hour of the game, the hand felt warm but not hot. I was satisfied.

Photo experience, DxOMark gives 90, I give 99

This 12 megapixel rear camera uses 1.4 μ m pixels HTC UltraPixel ™ The third-generation high light sensitive large pixel sensor, with a f/1.7 aperture, achieved a high DxOMark score of 90 points, supporting optical anti shake (OIS) and electronic anti shake (EIS), UltraSpeed full pixel auto focusing, OIS optical anti shake, high-speed HDR, and 4K high-definition recording. Here's a look at the actual performance of the U11 camera:

Equipped with HTC Sense UI camera APP, it has a simple interface and is easy to operate. It has built-in panoramic mode, professional mode, and delay shooting. In addition, video recording also supports delay photography, slow motion, and so on.

The video recording interface is relatively clean, with a 3D logo at the bottom, which means that the video recording mode supports the unique 3D ring sound source focusing technology of U11, and 360 ° all-round recording makes you feel immersive. When recording video, real-time noise reduction technology is supported. By analyzing the previous frame and the next frame, redundant electronic noise can be removed, and the resulting picture is clearer.

When taking photos in professional mode, the output file can be directly set to RAW format, which is the same as the output format of professional SLR camera.

Resolution

On sunny days, outdoors, U11 outdoor perspective photo samples, the resolution is good, and the details of the top of the building are clearly visible in the distance.

Still life proof sheet

The overall brightness and saturation of the picture are excellent, the color restoration is close to reality, and the details are relatively complete.

Macro shot proof sheet

There are some tricks in the actual shooting. Try to increase the depth of field when shooting, so that you can take a picture with a better degree of virtualization.

Take samples at night

It is worth mentioning that the large pixel sensor and the f/1.7 aperture have greater light input, which can effectively improve the imaging quality of weak light. The noise control is good enough in the environment of insufficient light at night.

High speed snap sample

UltraSpeed's full pixel auto focusing is really amazing. The focusing speed is extremely fast. The effect of taking a snapshot on the 110 km/h highway is amazing.

Landscapes along the highway.

In terms of imaging quality, The overall performance of the U11 is excellent. DxOMark's high score of 90 points really deserves its reputation. No matter where the subject is in the picture, the HTC U11's UltraSpeed full pixel auto focus is extremely fast, as fast and accurate as the human eye. It is particularly practical for shooting dynamic objects, on-site shooting and low light environment. The resolution of 12 million pixels is no less than that of the human eye, F/1.7 The large aperture ensures the brightness and improves the image quality. At the same time, the color reproduction ability is also good. The performance in the night scene mode is also commendable. The noise control is excellent, and the personal experience can be given 99 points.

Appearance, 3D water glass body, poisoned at first sight

In appearance, HTC U11 adopts front and back double-sided glass+metal middle frame for seamless fit, which makes it more round and beautiful visually. The 3D ripple glass body design adopts the light splitting and mixing technology, which integrates precious mineral materials with high refractive index into the back plate of the mobile phone. The visual effect is amazing, which can follow your every move to constantly change into amazing colors, making every angle so different. It is no exaggeration to say that it has been poisoned to the depth at first sight.

The upper part of the back is the flash lamp and camera, and the lower part is the classic HTC trademark. The silver gray glass is printed inside, which is grand and low-key.

The front, the rest screen is beautiful, and the bright screen is interesting

A 5.5 inch Super LCD LCD screen is designed on the front. The surface is made of the fifth generation gorilla glass, which is strong and scratch resistant, with an ultra narrow frame design. With the radian of 3D curved glass, it is deep and quiet in the resting screen state, and has the visual sense of curved screen.

The perfect combination of 3D curved glass and metal middle frame makes the hand feel round and silky. There is a Home button in the center of the navigation area, which is oval in shape, and is visually even flatter than Meizu's round key. It has a built-in fingerprint identification sensor. The left side is the return button, and the right side is the multitask menu button. The hidden design is adopted. When the screen is lit, the key backlight will automatically light up.

In terms of display effect, this screen has 2K resolution, non diamond pixel arrangement, delicate display effect, natural color restoration, and good visual viewing experience. The design of 3D surface can effectively avoid edge image clipping, color distortion and other problems.

The front camera and distance sensor are distributed on the right side of the earpiece. Instead of adopting the popular symmetrical design, the U11 provides a 16 million pixel front camera, which uses BSI back lit sensor, supports F/2.0 aperture, high-speed HDR and 1080p high-definition recording.

On the side, glass and metal blend seamlessly

The thickness of HTC U11 fuselage is 7.9mm, which is not outstanding compared with the ultra-thin model. However, the design of hyperbolic glass has natural visual advantages. It looks very thin from the side. It always has amazing color like ripples from different angles. The glass blends with the metal frame like milk, forming a satisfactory seamless arc shape, which is round and smooth, Compared with the sharp chamfer of Nut Pro, the handle is different.  

On the right side of the fuselage are the volume key and power key, and the surface of the key adopts the metal sandblasting process. It is worth noting that the surface of the power button is designed with anti slip texture, which can increase the friction of the fingers when pressing and prevent the fingers from sliding. The details are quite good. The SIM card slot is designed to the top, which supports all Netcom, dual cards and dual standby, and TF card expansion of up to 2T.

Bottom, Type-C、 360 ° recording microphone HTC BoomSound ™ stereo-speaker

The bottom of the phone is relatively simple. From left to right, there are pickups, charging interfaces, microphones, and dual channel speakers. The charging interface HTC U11 uses the popular Type-C interface without any doubt. It supports the USB 3.1 transmission of QC3.0 fast charging. It is fast and durable, and can be plugged in and out. HTC BoomSound ™ Stereo speakers bring a good listening experience. In fact, the external effect is very good. It's not exaggeration to say that I have used the phone with the best external effect.

Careful friends may have found that Mao has so many microphones, but actually count them carefully, HTC U11 involves a total of four highly sensitive directional microphones, which are distributed in the front, rear, upper and lower parts of the body. With the sound source focusing technology, the sound source can be locked in multiple directions and the sound source reception effect can be strengthened during recording. 360 ° all-round recording makes you feel like you are in it, raising the recording standard to another level.

There is no 3.5mm headphone jack found in the whole body. In fact, HTC has designed a standard U11 dedicated headphone - HTC USonic smart sonar headphone, which uses Type-C interface and intelligent active noise reduction technology. It can analyze your inner ear through similar sonar technology, and then adjust the audio output for your cochlea construction to provide a different sound effect playback scheme. This means that the sound effect you hear will be a feast for your exclusive optimization and customization.

System, HTC Sense UI

HTC U11 is equipped with domestic customized Sense UI: ChinaSense 9.0.1（10602）， Customized based on Android 7.1.1.

The overall interface UI is relatively simple, and there is not much customization, leaving the original Android experience. Flat icon design, exquisite transition animation effect, and HTC rich themes make the operation smooth and visually pleasing.

HTC Sense Companion is built in HTC Sense, which can learn user's operating habits and optimize the operating experience. New Republic includes a variety of aggregated reading materials such as finance, experience, entertainment, technology, etc. It supports the integration of microblogs, calendars, and suggestions for nearby restaurants, cafes, and wine bars, which adds convenience to daily life.  

Drop down message list and multi task card display.

A variety of power saving modes are built in to maximize the endurance of 3000mAh. It is worth mentioning that after the advanced power-saving mode of U11 is enabled, only basic communication applications such as phone calls and text messages will be retained. Only 2% of the power will be lost when only answering and making calls in an afternoon, which is really a great power saving.

Edge Sense， Innovative interactive experience

Edge Sense is an innovative highlight of U11.

Edge Sense, based on the traditional key based human-computer interaction and touch based human-computer interaction, can enable you to start the corresponding functions such as taking photos, calling out the voice assistant, opening the APP, and quickly replying to messages with just one touch of the border, without too many tedious steps.

In fact, it's a practical experience. The original squeezing can also respond to different operations by the strength and length of the grip. In daily use, it is recommended to set the grip strength in the third and fourth grids to avoid accidental touch. Of course, the second grid strength can be set accordingly for girls.

It used to be that there could be so many hidden innovations. HTC is definitely an innovation driven company. After leading the technological trends of ID frameless, all metal body, dual camera lens and so on, I believe Edge Sense will be the next hot spot.

Edge Sense + Duer OS， This private secretary is easy to use, smart and intelligent

What is DuerOS?

DuerOS is a dialogic AI operating system launched by Baidu, which conducts human-computer interaction through voice dialogue. At the same time, with the help of cloud based DuerOS, it can constantly learn and evolve, become more intelligent, and is called "a dialogic AI operating system with epoch-making significance" at home and abroad.

Edge Sense+DuerOS intelligent voice interaction system is a highlight of HTC U11.

U11 skillfully uses Edge Sense edge pressure touch. No matter whether the screen is locked or not, all users need to do is to hold the screen intelligently, immediately wake up the DuerOS voice recognition assistant, conduct pure "conversational" interactive communication, and complete the operation with one hand. Compared with the traditional mobile phone voice assistant, it is much more convenient to operate, and it is obviously a higher level in terms of force. So, what is its actual experience?

Business trip arrangement, voice reminder

I temporarily decided to go to Shanghai tomorrow. Please remember to remind me, but it unexpectedly asked me what time to remind me? Different from the general question and answer, DuMi can also think about the problem itself and have multiple rounds of dialogue with me, which is quite good.  

Me: Hello.

Du Mi: Hello, what can I do for you?

Me: Remind me to go to Shanghai tomorrow.

Du Mi: What time would you like to be reminded?

Me: Five o'clock

Du Mi: Is it tomorrow morning or afternoon?

Me: Five o'clock in the morning.

Du Mi: created successfully.

Recommended by restaurants, many people have difficulty choosing in their daily life. There are many kinds of restaurants, but they haven't chosen one to go to after a long time. Can DuMi help me solve this problem? Baidu's search engine and rich cloud data have advantages in information such as takeout, meal ordering and movies, while the huge number and categories of online businesses also test the mysterious cloud ecosystem architecture.

Idioms: Solitaire, Hidden Poems

When encountering problems that you don't understand, you used to open the browser, enter keywords, and filter the items that meet your requirements through the web page. However, DuMi is much simpler, and you can directly tell her to complete the search and filtering. For example, when you say keywords to Dubi, such as Idiom Solitaire, Hidden Poem, etc., you will end up being abused and the speed of Dubi is outrageous...

acrostic

The above is just a list of some practical functions of Dubi. In addition, it can also carry out weather query, movie recommendation, whether the movie is shown in the cinema, etc. Only you can't think of it. After all, it is more practical in daily life with Baidu's powerful cloud resources behind it.

Query weather

Film recommendation

Query the movies shown in the cinema

From the actual experience, DuMi's knowledge level, voice recognition and understanding ability are quite strong, and some of its performances even exceed my expectations. With such a close secretary in hand, life is really convenient. In terms of wake-up mode, besides Edge Sense wake-up, DoBe also supports the traditional long press HOME wake-up, depending on which one you prefer. Personally, I prefer the default Edge Sense wake-up, which is simple and convenient.

With regard to endurance, how long can 3000mAh last?

In terms of endurance, the HTC U11 is equipped with a 3000mAh lithium polymer battery, which does not have much advantage in capacity. Whether the built-in intelligent power saving mode of HTC can effectively improve the actual endurance is unknown?

From the perspective of actual endurance, after about an hour of swiping the circle of friends, watching videos, making phone calls for 40 minutes, and playing games for 1.5 hours, the battery still has 45%. The endurance performance of the HTC U11 is relatively powerful. The previous Guo6 has already been destroyed, which can basically improve the situation of charging every day. It is not impossible for mild users to use it for two days.

QC3.0 fast charging is supported. The actual output is 6.99V 2.02A, about 14W output power. It takes about 100 minutes to fully charge the 3000mAh battery.

In conclusion, which consumers are suitable for HTC U11?

As for HTC, it can be said that it is an enlightening teacher for our generation of Android phone enthusiasts. I used to be very enthusiastic and popular. I have to say that in recent years, HTC's product planning is really unsatisfactory, and its market share has also changed. However, this does not affect HTC U11 becoming a perfect flagship.

As a beauty controller, the shape of U11 is the first thing to be affirmed. The blend of glass and metal is perfect, round and silky. The use of 3D water glass has enhanced its visual impact. The feeling of getting started for the first time is very subtle. The original high beauty and good feel can also complement each other; Secondly, in terms of configuration, the performance of U11 need not be mentioned. With more than 160000 running points here, it can basically run large games on the market smoothly. If you are a game controller, this U11 is suitable for you; Next, HTC Sense Companion, and the innovative Edge Sense+Duer OS features make you refreshing in the system experience and new experience in human-computer interaction, which is an ideal choice for business people; Finally, DxOMark's 90 point camera experience is impeccable, and the individual has given you a high score of 99. If you are a self timer and photo maniac, you can act decisively.

During the experience, I also recorded some small problems and hoped HTC would make improvements. For example, the navigation area returns to the left and multi tasks to the right, which cannot be interchanged. Comparatively speaking, the return is used frequently. However, the 5.5 inch screen thumb has reached the limit of the return button. Students with small hands may have to use both hands to operate. Is it to take care of left-handed users?
