We are getting closer and closer to HTC’s event this month where the company is gearing up to officially announce the HTC U aka U 11. Today, an image of what appears to be the back of the retail packaging has surfaced, showcasing a majority of the device's specs.
According to the image, this device will come with a 5.5″ QHD display, Snapdragon 835 processor, 6GB RAM, micro SD card support, 12MP rear-facing camera,
Edge Sense, water resistance, BoomSound, fingerprint reader, NFC, and Android Nougat.
Although, notice how it lists the device as "Dual Sim/128GB." It is likely that this is an international variant, meaning a US model could have different specs including a single sim with 64GB and only 4GB of RAM. Also, notice how it states IP57 water resistance, because most high-end devices feature IP67 or 68 water resistance, this would mean that the HTC U 11 won't be as protected as other devices.
Again, these are simply leaks and should be taken with a grain of salt. HTC will take the stage May 16 to officially reveal what the device has to offer.
The image shows the unit with a slant that angles upwards so that the 7" screen is visible when you look down at it. The user interface reveals a weather widget and what appears to be message notifications. Toward the bottom, there is a carousel that should allow users to swipe through to see additional information. Below the display is the speaker grill that will reportedly output better sound than the current Amazon Echo. Above the display, there appears to be a camera that could used similarly to the recently announced Echo Look.
According to reports, this product is codenamed “Knight,” and will be the company's "flagship Alexa device.” It is expected “later this month” with a price tag over $200.
OnePlus has become known for making hardware with great specifications at a reasonable price. The handset was prematurely listed by OppoMart, possibly revealing its specs, price and release date. For the most part, the listing matches previous rumors, suggesting the phone will feature a Snapdragon 835 processor, 6GB of RAM and a 3,600mAh battery with a price tag of $449. Although, the most intriguing feature listed has to be the dual camera.
OnePlus went on to confirm that they will launch the OnePlus 5 in "early summer."
He wisecrackingly adds, “So in some sense when you say will we make more phones, I’m sure we’ll make more phones, but they may not look like phones that are there today."
Schools will be able to download Windows 10 S for free if they want to upgrade older devices to this new version. Office 365 apps will also be free for both students and teachers.
