About the Product
HTC U11 - Squeeze for the brilliant U HTC U11. The best HTC phone ever. From its beautifully slim and seamlessly curved liquid surface to the revolutionary new HTC Edge Sense squeeze technology, you’ll love the way the U11 builds on HTC’s reputation for uncompromising quality and introducing innovations such as Edge Sense that will transform the way you interact with your smartphone forever.
The revolutionary design of the Galaxy S8 begins from the inside out. We rethought every part of the phone's layout to break through the confines of the smartphone screen. So all you see is pure content and no bezel. It's the biggest, most immersive screen on a Galaxy smartphone of this size. And it's easy to hold in one hand.

What customers say about "Display"
HTC U11 UK SIM-Free Smartphone - Sapphire Blue
- The 5.5-inch display is excellent and text and images are crisp.
- The display is great with some washout in direct bright sunlight but everything is still legible and certainly doesn't hinder operation.
- This 2k (same as Samsung S8) screen is very good. I have been a long-time fan of vivid displays by Samsung, and this display is very similar to a S8 display when you look at it.
- The maximum brightness level is very good.This is important, since its then legible in sunlight.
- The screen in sunlight is not clear so having to adjust brightness manually. The auto brightness does not seem to be as good as M8 HTC.
- I was a little disappointed with the outdoor performance and the screen struggled under bright sunlight.
Samsung Galaxy S8 Unlocked Mobile Phone
- The S8 has the best display on the market. The phone is lightweight and powerful. Gaming and video playback are very smooth.
- Awesome display and smooth interface.
- The edge to edge display further enhances the screen. Perhaps the best feature of the phone.

What customers say about "Features"
HTC U11 UK SIM-Free Smartphone - Sapphire Blue
- When power saver function on I can get the handset to hold its charge into a fourth day of daily use before needing to recharge.
- Audio on speakers very good and headphones really good. It is a bit daft that you can't charge and listen to music at same time, as port same for both, but the phone charges really quickly.
- Fingerprint sensor- very accurate, and positioned on home button. This, is a better one than the fingerprint sensor placement of S8 placement which is at the back.
- Google Maps regularly freezes and won't shut down, Google Play Store won't even open.
- I still don't understand why HTC have excluded the headphone jack. It's not like one wouldn't fit and it's so frustrating being forced to use the bundled headset or bluetooth.
Samsung Galaxy S8 Unlocked Mobile Phone
- Excellent smartphone, with ip68 protocol for water issues.

What customers say about "Power"
HTC U11 UK SIM-Free Smartphone - Sapphire Blue
- The new USB-C quick charge feature is magnificent. It charges the phone in a matter of hours.
- One thing that stands out is the amazing battery life. It's twice as good than on the 10 and genuinely lasts the whole day. By the time I get to bed it's on half or a bit less.
- Everything works and i get almost 40 hours out of my battery.
- Battery life is more than adequate as I find I get through the day without charging.
- In general, for a device with a 3000 mAh battery, the operating time is decent, personally, I did not have discomfort.
Samsung Galaxy S8 Unlocked Mobile Phone
- The other things are perfect but my only issue is regarding to the battery performance and it's not as I saw from the reviews and some YouTubes.
