HTC is about to unveil its new flagship smartphone in the “U” series in upcoming weeks. As the days are approaching, reports about its design, specifications and features have started coming out.
In January, HTC launched two smartphones, HTC U Ultra and HTC U Play, under its flagship series called “U.” However, the firm hold off the launch of “Ocean” smartphone. Many believe that the HTC U 11 device is actually the HTC "Ocean" that company decided to postpone.
It was speculated that HTC wanted to power the “Ocean” phone with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 835, and since Samsung bid on SD835 production until the Samsung Galaxy S8 is announced, HTC delayed the device’s launch.
