HTC U11 first camera comparison versus the Samsung Galaxy S8 and the LG G6

You can now read:


After making weird and not-at-all successful experiments with smartphone cameras in the past, HTC is making sure its new flagship does not skimp in this vital area. The HTC U11 arrives with a 12MP main camera that has a really large F1.7 aperture, DualPixel autofocus, 1.4μm pixels that sound rather promising for low-light performance, and optical image stabilization as a cherry on top. You read that right, there is no laser autofocus aboard as HTC has opted for the DualPixel autofocusing technology.

Hardware-aside, HTC wants to woo wanna-be smartphone photographers by throwing in Pro mode with RAW format support, HDR, a panorama mode, Hyperlapse, slo-mo video (120 fps @ 1080p), 4K video recording with 3D Audio and Acoustic Focus.
