HTC U 11 design fully revealed in leaked video render – see it here

Want to know what HTC’s next flagship will look like?

HTC may be struggling when compared to Samsung, but that’s not stopping it from releasing more handsets this year; it will soon expand its HTC U lineup with a new flagship called HTC U 11. Website 91 Mobiles has posted what it described as 3D renders of the upcoming device that it seems to have obtained from a reliable leaker known as Onleaks. The photos and videos show the HTC U 11 from all angles.

The HTC U 11 will be the third HTC U-branded handset in a year, following the the HTC U Play and HTC U Ultra. Last week, an almost-complete list of features taken from a promo image revealed almost everything the phone will feature, such as a 5.5-inch Quad HD display and Snapdragon 835 processor. It will likely also feature 6GB RAM, a 12-megapixel rear camera, and 16-megapixel front camera.

The flagship will notably include a “squeezable display,” which will allow you to interact with the phone by swiping from the edge. It’ll also have a tapered thickness from top to bottom of 9.2mm and 8mm, respectively. The fingerprint scanner will be on the front, and the bottom edge will house a USB C socket, mic, and speaker grille. And finally, it’ll have a 3,000mAh battery with Quick Charge 3.0 support.
