14 DAY TRIAL // HTC’s upcoming U 11 flagship is expected to pack high-end specs and a new feature that would allow users to perform various actions with a simple squeeze of the phone. Now, an alleged image showing the retail box art surfaced over at MySmartPrice.
The picture surfaced in a recent report, revealing that the smartphone would feature a 5.5-inch QHD display with the latest Corning Gorilla Glass 5 protection and Qualcomm’s 64-bit octa-core chipset part of the Snapdragon 835 platform.
Interestingly, the image reveals that RAM capacity on the new smartphone will reach 6GB, with 128GB of internal storage and the option to add 2TB more, using a microSD card. HTC U 11 with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage was recently spotted in benchmarks, and it’s possible that HTC could offer a variant with lower RAM and storage capacity in certain markets, or that particular model was simply a prototype in testing.

When it comes to the main camera capacity, HTC U 11 will have a 12MP snapper with f/1.7 aperture, Ultra Pixel 3 and UltraSpeed AF features, while the front camera will have a 16MP sensor with f/2.0 aperture and a Selfie Panorama feature.
IP57 certification will be featured on the new smartphone, together with HTC’s BoomSound, High-Res audio and 3D audio recording. The fingerprint scanner is said to be placed at the front of the smartphone, while battery capacity could reach 3,000mAh with Quick Charge 3.0 fast charging.
Android 7.1.1 Nougat will run on the new smartphone, together with HTC’s Sense UI. The retail box art also mentions the exciting Edge Sense feature on the new phone, which allows users to simply squeeze the phone and get quick access to the Camera and other apps.
Moreover, the smartphone will come with two SIM card slots and support for NFC and 4G connectivity. HTC U 11 was spotted in blue hues, but the phone is also expected to come in white, black, red and silver color options, which will be revealed on May 16.
