It is no secret that HTC has had a rough couple of years, despite once being one of the great kings of the Android world. While the HTC One M7 and One M8 were both positive steps in the right direction for HTC, the HTC One M9 was arguably a pretty big stu...

HTC U Ultra review: The phablet arena is pretty quiet right now, most notably occupied by the Huawei Mate 9 (in the UK at least) but HTC might have a new noteworthy entrant to consider if you're after a supersized, super-powerful smartphone, and it's call...
Stunning display, Good performance, Attractive design, Strong audio capabilities, Decent cameras...
Second screen lacks purpose, No HTC Sense Companion at launch, Needs one-handed mode, Battery could be bigger, Fingerprint magnet...
At a glance, the tick list of the HTC U Ultra looks extremely promising. You can expect great performance with plenty of storage, it's an audiovisual treat for both capturing and enjoying media, and has some standout design elements, but despite all of th...

For years, the name HTC was synonymous with solid smartphones. If you bought a high-end HTC, you knew you were getting a classy metal chassis, slick and sporty software, and better audio than any other smartphone. But the company's reward for all that qui...

The U Ultra is HTC's flagship smartphone for 2017. It's a massive slab of metal and glass that offers a premium experience at a premium price. If you're looking for an unlocked alternative to the Android offerings from LG and Samsung, the U Ultra has plen...
It's pretty easy to say the U Ultra is HTC's finest phone. You will not find a more visually arresting smartphone on the market. HTC designed an eye-pleasing piece of hardware. I dare you not to fall in love with the hero blue color. HTC made some serious...

I've been using the HTC U Ultra for a little over a full week now. It's the latest "flagship" (I know, that word) from HTC, and the specifications generally would support such a classification. A Snapdragon 821 processor, 5.7" Quad HD LCD display, 4GB of...
Subjective, yes, but I love the highgloss glass back on this phone. This blue color in particular is just stunning, If you like big phones, this is a big phone with a big screen (two screens, in fact), HTC takes an everlighter hand to Android with each pa...
It sucks. I'm getting 6070% of the battery life I would with a Pixel XL with this phone. This is unacceptable, and it's definitely a result of the awful display (5.7"ticker) to battery (3000mAh) ratio, I have never seen a phone's screen get scratched as e...
The HTC U Ultra is not a bad phone. It's kind of a good one, in some ways. But here's the thing: even on the best day, the U Ultra is just what I'd call decent. At the $750 level, that's absolutely not living up to the competition. For $20 more, you can b...

When HTC showed up in January with the HTC U Ultra, we were skeptical about the entire schtick. While the phone has a solid set of specs and is quite the looker, the unlocked sales pitch that included a 2-month pre-order period was odd. We actually call...

The fans won't want to hear it, but HTC has made a misstep with the HTC U Ultra. Flagship follow-up to last year's HTC 10, it promises high-style and plenty of functionality to go with its premium $749 price tag, and there's no denying that its high-gloss...

It may not sound like it right now, I concede, but I do consider myself an HTC fan. Like many who have been following the smartphone space as we currently know it since pretty much its inception, HTC earned itself a special place with clever, well-designe...

I'm not gonna lie, I like big phones. Before I became a full-time Android phone reviewer, I divided my time equally between the Nexus 6P and the iPhone 7 Plus, and I was more than a little bummed that I never got a chance to try out the Galaxy Note7. But...

The comeback? The U Ultra flagship smartphone is to pave the way for HTC's desperately needed comeback. This might even be successful with an intelligent assistant, high-quality audio technology, and a second screen. However, some test results rouse doubt...

Seen in total, HTC's U Ultra is, in fact, a worthy premium-range smartphone thanks to its good performance rates, low temperatures, high-quality accessories, and some innovations. However, it cannot quite compete with the top models by Apple and Samsung...

Sometimes smartphone manufacturers keep their lineups simple: a clear flagship (maybe in a couple size options), then possibly a spread of mid-rangers, and maybe even a super-budget model. And while all those phones can be very interesting for their o...

For as many steps as HTC takes in the right direction, it can't help but shoot itself in the foot with a few big goof-ups. The U Ultra is a relatively attractive handset that comes with a nice assortment of extras (like that case and the really good-sound...

I was almost giddy when I reviewed the HTC 10 last year. After years of casting about for the right approach, the company built a phone that seemed like a clear step in the right direction. Fast forward to January 2017: HTC revealed the $750 U Ultra, a g...

HTC's new U Ultra smartphone oozes style, and for the most part it's a very speedy, very well built flagship. That said, the company made some puzzling decisions here. This is a big phone with a big screen, but HTC fitted it with a relatively small 3,000m...

Overall, we've tried to be as objective as we can with this review. On its own, the HTC U Ultra is a gorgeous device, with one of the best screens I've used, and an awesome camera combo. Sadly the problem is that it doesn't live on its own. For a whopping...

The U Ultra might not be HTC's flagship for the year, but it's still a high-end device you should pay attention to. The company vowed to switch its focus to premium hardware in 2017, and the U Ultra is just one culmination of the efforts. It really is a...
All in all, the U Ultra is an excellent phone. The biggest thing it has against it at this point is HTC's unwillingness to market its devices properly. The smartphone market is full of fierce competition, and year after year, HTC just seemingly cannot kee...
