To recap
HTC really does very little wrong in the HTC U11. This is a 2017 phone that’s up there with the best, but we suspect that many will be distracted by Samsung’s aggressive marketing and glamorous new looks. That’s a real shame, because the HTC U11 would be a perfect phone for a great many people.
