For those who don’t know, translucent means semi-transparent. HTC’s U11 Plus translucent variant should look similar to the old Game Boy Color handheld consoles.
In this tweet by HTC, Blass points out that it is showcasing the translucent version of the device and by looking close enough you can see some of the handset’s inner mechanisms.
Look closely
RT @daveontweets I highly doubt 'Translucent' will be a see-through back. My guess is it will be a kind of depth colour effect pic.twitter.com/6Gn8n0FKRc

While that’s all we have about the U11 Plus, there is tons of new information about another new device from the company, the HTC U11 Life.
The news comes from a T-Mobile support page, which revealed the specs of the device in detail and has since been taken down.
The U11 Life will feature a Snapdragon 630 chipset, a 5.2-inch 1080p display, 3GB of RAM, 32GB of external storage, a 16-megapixel front-facing camera and a 16-megapixel rear facing camera. Additionally, it has a 2,600mAh battery, IP67 water protection and, for some reason, is running Android 7.1.1 with HTC Sense.
Reports had revealed that the U11 Life would be an Android One smartphone, however it seems that it will run Nougat with the HTC Sense software over top.
The device will also use Sense Companion, Alexa and the Google Assistant, like the U11 and utilize the U11’s fame feature, Edge Sense.
The U11 Life is expected to be revealed with the U11 Plus on November 2nd in Taipei.
