HTC U11 Mobile review: The new DxOMark leader

With an overall DxOMark Mobile score of 90, the HTC U11 is the highest-rated smartphone camera we have ever tested. As you’d expect from a top performer, its scores are impressive across the board. In particular, its very good detail preservation, low noise, and fast autofocus helped edge it ahead of our previous highest-scoring phone, the Google Pixel. The HTC U11 features remarkably consistent performance in a wide variety of shooting conditions, making it a great camera for most situations.

REVIEW: HTC U11 is a gorgeous, powerful phone that's probably doomed

The HTC U11 is a perfectly fine flagship phone, with a gorgeous design and nice camera, but it's not quite the home run HTC seems to need.

HTC's new U11 Life has an affordable $350 sticker price, but is it actually a bargain?

Our review of the HTC U11 with Qualcomm Snapdragon 835, a great camera, and a pressure-sensitive case design. The run times on battery are decent, but many competitors can do better here.

The HTC U11 for Sprint is the best music phone around, and its unusual squeeze sensor is a fun new way to interact with a mobile device.

With the big improvements, not only does the U11 make you wonder why the U Ultra exists — but it also makes you start considering it right alongside the flagship competition of 2017.

Once again, HTC rebooted itself. This year we haven't seen a flood of phones come from the Taiwanese company. It's decided to focus on a very small number of products. That'll continue into 2018 as HTC sold a significant piece of its mobile division to Google for more than $1 billion. But, until next year, all we know is that HTC believes it can get by with just three phones leading its...

According to HTC, the three biggest breakthroughs in the history of consumer technology were all centered around how you interact with a device: the first real time display, the first mouse and GUI, and the first touchscreen. HTC believes its new phone, the U11, will introduce the next breakthrough in interaction: squeeze.
