HTC I want to mention this mobile phone brand. Many kids are familiar with it. Maybe you don't know that HTC was the first smartphone brand to use Android system. Although HTC has lost its hegemony in the past, its products are still very classic every day. Today, the editor mentioned here that what HTC wants to share with you is its latest HTC U11 recently. It has been about half a month since I unknowingly got this HTC U11. During this period of experience, U11 gives me a very good feeling. Its outstanding shape design, exquisite material selection, strong hardware configuration and smart HTC Sense AI assistant make it almost perfect. The next time, the author will share the good and bad experiences of U11 with you, hoping to help you with your purchase!

In terms of color, HTC U11 now has three different color versions on its official website, namely, Jiaoyue Silver, Meditation Black and Yuanwang Blue. The HTC U11 I experienced today is the color version of Meditation Black. I still like this color. Which color version would you like?

The overall body weight of HTC U11 is 167g, and the three dimensions are 153.9mm x 75.9mm x 7.9mm. Because the back of the U11 phone also adopts the shape design of the curved hand, when you hold the U11 in your hand, it will give you a very thin feeling, and of course, it will also feel very good.

When I held the HTC U11 in my hand for the first time, the 3D curved glass screen of the U11 deeply attracted me. This feeling was similar to the shock feeling brought by the curved screen. The four directions on the front of the screen adopt a 3D arc design, which gives people a very pleasant visual experience. The screen design of HTC U11 is the most unique among all the mobile phones I have used. I like it very much!

The 5.5 inch display screen has a resolution of 2560 × 1440, which is what we usually call the 2K display screen. In the actual experience, this 2K Super LCD display has very high touch sensitivity and delicate display color. The overall appearance of the display is my favorite type.

HTC has also made a lot of efforts in the layout of the functional openings on the top of the display screen. The earpiece, distance sensor, noise reducing microphone and front camera are all in the middle, which is very good. In the selection of front camera, the manufacturer chose a 16 million pixel camera with f/2.0 aperture, which supports auto focus, beauty, panorama, HDR, etc., and the actual use of selfie is good.

HTC U11 has a front fingerprint identification module, which supports pressing operation. There are also two touch keys on both sides of the fingerprint identification module. In actual use, the fingerprint identification key of U11 has a very fast entry and unlocking speed, and the unlocking is also very stable after a long time of use. The overall experience is good.

Compared with the front, the back of the HTC U11 feels much more mediocre to me. The glass back cover, with a rear camera and LED flash on the top, has a moderate overall layout. Because the back has an arc edge design, the overall grip feels very comfortable, which is more or less one of its advantages.

Now the mainstream rear dual camera does not appear on the HTC U11. This rear lens has 12 million pixels. I will explain the daytime imaging quality in detail later. Interested partners, please continue to pay attention. What's more, the rear lens of U11 should be slightly higher than the back cover. If you don't like the protruding lens, you should think carefully!

The HTC U11 is designed with a metal middle frame, on which there are 7 antenna strips. This makes me, a Virgo, feel a little uncomfortable, and the seven antenna belts are completely asymmetric. I want to ask HTC, what is the meaning of your wayward design of antenna belts? Is it just to disgust me. Here I want to give you a bad review.

Like most Android phones, the HTC U11 has three physical buttons on the upper right side of the body, including volume up, volume down and power button. U11 adopts texture processing on its power button, which can effectively distinguish it from the volume button and reduce the chance of accidental pressing. In the actual experience, the touch of these physical keys is somewhat hard, and other aspects of the experience are very good.

On the top of the HTC U11, we can see a phone card slot and a noise reduction microphone. The currently popular infrared remote control module does not appear on the U11, which makes me feel more or less sorry. After all, I personally like this feature and use it very frequently.

The bottom of the HTC U11 has an external speaker opening, type-c charging interface and a call microphone. I think a careful little friend has noticed that U11 has canceled the 3.5mm headphone interface and supports IP67 waterproof. Then there is a problem. Do you think it is necessary to cancel the headphone interface for Android phones?

In addition, the HTC U11 also has stereo speakers. When we play music and watch video everyday, the shape speakers and earphones at the bottom of the phone will work at the same time, giving me a shocking feeling of stereo sound. Kids who like to watch TV with their hands this function is very suitable for you!

In addition to the appearance and hardware, the system is also an important evaluation index for the good and bad of a mobile phone. For the author who is accustomed to using the domestic Android mobile phone customization system, it takes some time to adapt to the Sense9 carried by HTC U11 for the first time. Whether setting the background or system UI is different from so many smart phones I have been exposed to before, this system gives me a feeling closer to Android native, and the overall icon looks good, but it is somewhat incompatible with most third-party icons.

Whether the system icon of HTC U11 is beautiful or not, smoothness is the key to a smart phone. In terms of the system, HTC U11 is equipped with Android 7.1.1. In this half month's experience, the overall system is smooth and good, and the experience is very stable. No obvious stuttering phenomenon has occurred in either desktop system switching or third-party applications.

Like most Android phones, the notification bar and some shortcut keys can be called up from the drop-down box. Short pressing the multitask button at the bottom can clean the background and lock background applications. Long press the blank area of the screen to call up background options. Theme, wallpaper, and adding small plug-ins can all be completed on this page.

I don't know whether you have found that Sense9 also has a great small function. We can click and touch a system application to pop up some shortcut options to help us complete the steps we need faster, but not all system applications support this function. I hope Sense9 can optimize this function better in the future!

If you have used HTC U11 carefully, it is not difficult to find that Sense9 has also made a lot of efforts in the localization system, such as the directly built-in Sogou input method, Tencent browser, the app store based on Peapod and the smart small voice assistant. Although I am determined to do a good job, Sense9 is not perfect in localization optimization. For example, the popular yellow page function of domestic mobile phones is not seen in HUC U11 system, which is a small regret!

In addition, this HTC U11 also has a function called Edge Sense. The principle of this function is very simple. We can complete some quick tasks by holding the phone. Edge Sense supports long grip and short grip. After enabling this function, we can use the grip operation to open some system functions and third-party applications, such as opening QQ with a long grip or screenshots with a short grip. It is also worth mentioning that the Edge Sense function on HTC U11 can accurately recognize when wearing a sleeve!

I think that in addition to the above, I have to mention the experience of the negative side of HTC U11 system, namely, the Xiaodu Voice Assistant, which HTC cooperates with Baidu. In the next time, I will share with you the real experience of Xiaodu Voice Assistant during this period, hoping to help you.

There are two ways to enable the mini voice assistant. The default method of the manufacturer is to press and hold the fingerprint identification button, but we can also combine the mini voice assistant with Edge Sense in the system settings. In the future, we can wake up the mini voice assistant again just by holding the handset. Isn't it a cool combination?

First of all, for similar voice assistants, the most important thing is the speech recognition rate. In the past few days of experience with small assistants, its response speed and recognition sensitivity are very high. It is easy to recognize the non-standard Mandarin like mine, and there are almost no mistakes in recognition. In the entry-level test, the junior assistant can easily answer the date, time, age, and weather conditions.

In addition, we can also use voice to open system applications and third-party software, such as WeChat, Weibo, Taobao, and some games. In actual use, the mini voice assistant is very compatible when opening third-party applications with voice. All third-party applications I installed can be opened normally. The problem lies in the system applications, such as voice on settings, HTC home, HTC security assistant, and some other system applications, but the minor assistant cannot complete them.

Reminding is also one of the characteristics of Small Voice Assistant. We just wake up Small Voice Assistant and voice input the reminder. Only the Voice Assistant can automatically create a reminder in the calendar. When the time is set, the Voice Assistant can prompt you on time!

This voice assistant is also very suitable for you, who often travel on business. We can use it to search nearby hotels, and the system will automatically recommend the nearest hotel for users to choose. Don't think that it can only recommend hotels. Small voice assistant can also screen chain benefits, hotel grades and star levels. Now don't be afraid to find a hotel that doesn't appeal to you. However, I still found a problem in the experience. For example, when I used the voice assistant to search for food, the small assistant could not recommend it. I wonder whether it is because I have no special food in Suining or what?

The small voice assistant is also good at movie recommendation. Online movie recommendation can intelligently recommend to users from high scores, the latest and free dimensions. If you feel uncomfortable watching online, you can also ask the voice assistant to recommend nearby cinemas!

Joke telling is also the strength of a small voice assistant. It is also good to take out HTC U11 to flirt with some voice assistants when you are tired of work. Text jokes, funny pictures, and animated jokes will ensure that you can laugh all the time.

Personally, I think the display screen is particularly important for a smart phone, because now all user interactions basically start from the display screen. How can we do without a good display screen for microblogging, Taobao, and watching movies! HTC U11 uses a 5.5 inch 2K Super LCD 5 display screen. Let's have a look at its daily performance!

Although everyone is saying that it is hard to recognize the gap between 1080P and 2K with the naked eye, for me, a long-term user of 1080P, the first time I used HTC U11 to watch videos, I felt it was very good. The picture quality was exquisite and the colors were also beautiful. It was also a good choice to watch TV and play games with it. The experience was amazing when I added the stereo speakers of HTC U11!

In the display settings in the HTC system settings, we can also manually set the color temperature of the display screen, which can be easily adjusted by dragging the slider from left to right. It's very considerate to adjust the warm and cold colors!

Taking photos is also one of the criteria to measure the quality of a mobile phone. In terms of camera, the HTC U11 uses a 12 megapixel camera. Although the flagship rear dual camera does not appear on the U11, it is a pity that it does not appear on the U11, but whether the single or dual camera is good, it is OK as long as the effect is good. In terms of camera page layout, HTC U11 has several different modes: professional photographing mode, scanning mode and panorama mode. Professional camera mode allows users to manually adjust some camera parameters. If you can handle it well, you can definitely exclude good photos.

The fast HDR of HTC U11 brings you the HDR effect without delay. Fast HDR tests the lightest and darkest parts through a series of photos, resulting in clearer and more balanced photos. HTC U11 strengthens texture and color, so that every shot has no missing details. We also use the same technology to improve the video quality. The real-time noise reduction technology uses the previous frame and the next frame to automatically eliminate noise to make the video clearer.

HTC fuselage system also has a function called 360 ° omnidirectional recording, which can reproduce 360 ° original sound, giving users an immersive feeling. The phone will use four highly sensitive directional microphones placed in different positions, together with sound source focusing technology, to lock the sound source in multiple directions and enhance the sound source reception effect during recording, making you feel like you are in it. Raise the recording standard to another level.

For an ordinary user, the requirements for the camera are not so strict, even if the camera is tall and small, the user does not understand. Personally, I think the current cameras can only take simple pictures with clear pictures. In the past few days of experiencing HTC U11, I took a lot of photos with U11. From the above daytime samples, we can find that the imaging quality of U11 is excellent both indoors and outdoors. The picture quality is clear and pure, without any noise, and the anti shake scheme is also very good. Sometimes I obviously find that my hands shake, but the photos are still clear!

In fact, the imaging quality of current cameras in the daytime should not be too worried, because the hardware configuration should be placed there, which is no worse than that. In fact, the most challenging shooting environment for the camera is at night, because the light at night is weak, it is very difficult to take good photos. However, when using the HTC U11 for night testing, I found that the U11 is a night vision device, the image quality is much brighter than what we can see with the naked eye, and the overall image appearance is also very good. What is important is that the noise control of the U11 at night is also very good, and the image purity is also high.

In terms of performance, the HTC U11 uses Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 64 bit 8-core processor with 4GB+64GB storage space. From the configuration point of view, this is basically the top-level hardware configuration of the project. In daily use, whether it is a system application or a third-party application, the startup speed is very fast, the page switching is relatively stable, and there is no obvious stuck phenomenon!

The performance of the mobile phone is not good. I think the most simple and direct way is to play games. In the test with NBA2K16, I adjusted the image quality of the game to the highest level, and the whole game did not show obvious stuck phenomenon. In the process of the king's glory game, the overall game picture is exquisite, and the special effects group picture is very smooth. In the entire game test, this latest Snapdragon 835 has withstood the test, and the overall game performance is good.

In terms of endurance, the HTC U11 has a 3000 mAh lithium battery. Although the 10 nanometer process of Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 has been optimized in terms of power consumption, the 5.5 inch 2K display still makes me worry about the actual endurance of the U11.

In terms of charging speed, it only takes 1 hour and 10 minutes to charge the HTC U11 from 0 to 80%, while it takes 1 hour and 50 minutes to fully charge the HTC U11. This kind of charging speed still feels slow to me. In terms of standby, the 10 hour standby consumption of the HTC U11 is about 8%. On the whole, it is not a big problem for the HTC U11 to meet our daily use.

In general, the HTC U11 is a good smart phone. The appearance design is outstanding, and the face value is very high. It feels cool when you are shopping. In terms of performance, HTC U11 uses the latest Snapdragon 835 processor with 4GB+64GB storage to meet our daily game needs. IP67's dustproof and waterproof make our daily use more reassuring. Although the 2K display reduces the battery life, the high-definition image quality experience is still very good., With good camera configuration and post calibration, we can take out our mobile phones to take a clear picture. In terms of pricing, the official price of the low configuration 4599 and the high configuration 4999 is somewhat higher than that of the domestic flagship products. However, compared with the previous HTC flagship phones, the HTC U11 is already very conscientious. As for the question of whether it is worth buying in the end, I just want to say that I like the price. Just be happy!
