HTC unveiled its newest flagship smartphone, the U11 and it’s the third smartphone the company released in 2017, and it’s second flagship device for the year.
Though the Taiwanese company released the U Play earlier this year, we won’t be comparing it to the U11 as it wasn’t marketed as a flagship device, nor was it available to Canadians. Instead, we’re comparing the HTC U11 to the HTC U Ultra and the HTC 10, HTC’s flagship device of 2016.
