On Tuesday, 16th of May, HTC will officially unveil the HTC U 11. The Snapdragon 835-powered phone is HTC’s flagship for the year. One of the most anticipated features of the phone is its unique mode of interaction which HTC is calling Edge Sense. Edge Sense lets you control the phone by simply squeezing the sides of the phone.

Since this is also a flagship, its bound to be pretty expensive. What is surprising is that there are reports the HTC U 11 may sell for a lesser price than the HTC U Ultra.

The HTC U Ultra was released earlier this year and is powered by a Snapdragon 821 processor. It is also a high-end smartphone but its high price tag is agreed by many to be unreasonable. A report from Taiwan says the HTC U 11 may be priced below NT $20,000 (~$662) which is less than the NT $20,900 promo price (~$692) that the U Ultra currently sells for now. The U Ultra goes for $749 in the US.

Since the U Ultra sells for more in the US, expect to still pay more for the U 11 as well. However, you might just not be paying as much as $749 for it.

Pre-order for the HTC U 11 is reported to begin on the 19th of May.

HTC released the HTC U Ultra last month as their first flagship for the year. The device which was first launched in Taiwan has made it to China now.

The official HTC Weibo account announced today the price for the HTC U Ultra. The U Ultra will go on sale on March 1 on the company’s official website, Lynx, and Jingdong Mall for ¥5088 (~$739). The price might come as a shocker to those who thought it will be significantly less than the $749 price in the US.  Nevertheless, that is the price for the 4GB RAM + 64GB variant as HTC didn’t reveal that of the 128GB model.

The HTC U Ultra is a fine device with a new design language the Taiwanese manufacturer is not tired of showing off. It sports a 5.7-inch Quad HD display and an additional 2-inch display positioned at the top like you have in the LG V20. There is a Snapdragon 821 processor, 4GB of RAM, 64GB of storage, and a SD card slot that expands it up to 256GB. There is a 12MP UltraPixel sensor with a f/1.8 aperture and OIS on the rear and a 16MP shooter up front.

The post says the HTC U Ultra will also make its way to Japan on the 10th of March. It will be available in blue, black, white, and pink.
