HTC U11 design and features

The HTC U11 sees a shift in design and features compared to the company's previous flagships. Most notably, the smartphone made up of a metal and glass body with a glossy back. But it's in the edges of this smartphone where the fun really begins. HTC has introduced a new Edge Sense feature that lets you launch apps like camera and send texts by simply squeezing the smartphones on the sides.

The company said at the launch that it will introduce new Edge Sense features in the coming days.


Other notable features of the HTC U11 include an IP67 rating that will protect the smartphone from water and dust, HTC Sense Companion and Google Assistant, 3D audio recording with four microphones, HTC BoomSound Hi-Fi edition, and a fingerprint sensor housed inside the home button, to name a few. The smartphone does not come with 3.5mm audio jack, but the company will bundle a 3.5mm audio jack to USB Type-C adapter.
