HTC has announced to roll out an update that will add 60 frames-per-second video capture to its U11 (review) flagship smartphone. The update will be rolled out for various markets in the coming months. Higher capture frame rates allows smoother video playback, particularly at full HD and 4K resolutions.
To recall, the HTC U11 is powered by the latest Snapdragon 835 processor from Qualcomm along with 4GB of RAM and 64/128GB of onboard storage. Other specs include a 12MP rear camera with autofocus, BSI sensor, optical image stabilisation f/1.7 aperture, and dual LED flash. Shooting modes include HDR Boost, manual, panorama, face detection, hyper-lapse, slow motion, and 4K video. The front-facing camera has a 16MP sensor. HTC selected a 3,000mAh battery that supports Quick Charge 3.0 via the USB-C port. Like the U Ultra, the U11 nixes the 3.5mm headset jack but includes an adapter.
The smartphone also has micro sensors under the side frame to provide intuitive gestures, which is also known as Edge Sense. It also comes with Google Assistant, Amazon Alexa and HTC Sense Companion voice assistant, all residing together.
