“HTC will give you an unexpected surprise,” said the company’s Taiwanese Facebook page last week. While many, including us, thought HTC would possible unveil the HTC 11, the company instead simply unveiled a fresh new colour for the U Ultra.

First, we should mention that the new flagship devices from HTC are not currently available in Canada and the company has not said when it will bring the U Ultra here.

However, for those that live in Taiwan, you can now pre-order the 128GB Sapphire Blue HTC U Ultra until March 28th for NT$28,900 (around $1,000 CAD), which is approximately $200 more than the 64GB Brilliant Black, Cosmetic Pink, Ice White variants.

Of course it’s not available in Canada. HTC doesn’t seem to want to do business down here and only stick up there. This device would have been great down here. No wonder why HTC is losing customers in North American. They made some great device but their marketing a device picking carriers to all their devices won’t help them.

  It is available in Canada, but nobody buys it for missing all new flagship features and that price.

  When this article was released it wasn’t and even MS staff made a comment about thay. An hour ago it was posted that it was for Canada. Thus why i posted it above back 5-6hrs ago.
  Oh i agree. I loved the HTC Magic, HTC One M7 and HTC Raider. Since the M7 nothing from HTC has wow me.

Ian why more than half comparison fields are empty… Maybe proof reading before posting would help avoid this…

This is almost as bad as OnePlus’s “big” announcement of a special edition color only available for purchase in person at a single store in Paris, France…And they were advertising all around the world….

  100% correct as OP3T is at least worth the price.

HTC priced this at (approx) $1000 … they must be confident of its appeal for setting that high a price!!
