We first met the new HTC U11+ at the tail end of 2017, but the company wasn't ready to release it into the world until we'd all rung in the new year. So, is it still worth a purchase in spite of the imminent arrival of some of this year's biggest players...

In a way, the specs and capabilities of the HTC U11+ more closely match what the original U11 should have been. The elongated display falls in line with the trends of 2017, the capacious battery sticks it to phablet-sized rivals like the S8+, Note 8 and M...

Almost 4000 words in and I've barely mentioned one important aspect related to the U11: its price. That's because I wanted to let the phone's design and performance speak for themselves, and I believe they have done so quite clearly. But before I go on, I...

If you're reading Android Police, the HTC U11 is probably not a phone you're going to buy. I say this not because the U11 is bad (it's not - it's good), but because it's statistically likely: last year's HTC flagship, the 10, makes up around 0.38% of Andr...
Totally respectable in my experience with this phone, and generally above average. 3000mAh doesn't seem like much with a 5.5" screen, but Android Nougat and the Snapdragon 835 get the job done, Finally sounds like Boomsound again. The speakers on the U11...
