Alleged HTC U 11 renders show a glossy red version of the phone

HTC U 11 - this is (likely) the name of the brand new flagship smartphone that HTC will announce later this month, on May 16. The company already released a few teasers showcasing bits and parts of the U 11, while also indirectly confirming a rumor: the new handset features a squeezable frame (reportedly, this will be called Edge Sense).

Before HTC gets the chance to officially present its next generation flagship, it seems that we can already take a look at it - or at least at renders that reportedly show what the real device will look like. Revealed by 91 Mobiles and @OnLeaks (a very reliable source), said renders are based on factory CAD sketches, and show a glossy red variant of the HTC U 11.

As you can see for yourself below, the HTC U 11 has thin bezels on the left and right sides of the screen, but not-so-thin top and bottom bezels. As for the overall thinness, it's said that the handset is 8 mm thick at the bottom, and 9.2 mm thick at the top - due to the squeezable frame mentioned above.



Specs-wise, the HTC U Ultra is expected to be pretty much on par with other 2017 flagship handsets, thanks to Qualcomm's Snapdragon 835 processor, up to 6 GB of RAM, and up to 128 GB of expandable internal memory. The new HTC smartphone should further feature a 12 MP rear camera, a 16 MP front-facing camera, USB Type-C port, and a 3000 mAh battery. Android 7.1 Nougat will be running the show from launch.

Mind you, the HTC U 11 is the handset previously presented as HTC Ocean, which explains the similarity between these new renders and the Ocean photos seen last month.

So, what do you think about this upcoming HTC flagship phone?
