HTC launches \"squeezable\" smartphone HTC U 11 in India at Rs 51,900
Taiwan-based tech company HTC has launched its “squeezable” smartphone in India, featuring a pressure-sensitive side, which triggers the phone’s camera when squeezed on side. The smartphone has been priced at Rs 51,990 and will be available on both online and offline retail stores from June end in Amazing Silver and Brilliant Black colours. Pre-orders for the handset will start from June 17.
The HTC U11 comes with micro sensors under the side frame to provide intuitive gestures, termed as Edge Sense. It also comes with Google Assistant, Amazon Alexa and HTC Sense Companion voice assistant, all residing together.
In terms of specifications, HTC U 11 features a 3D Liquid Surface design with a 5.5-inch Quad HD (2560 X 1440 pixels) resolution display, protected by 3D Corning Gorilla Glass 5 atop. The phone is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 835 processor, coupled with 6GB of RAM, and 128GB of onboard storage, with an option to expand up to 2TB via microSD card.
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.
