HTC U 11 video teaser released ahead of May 16 unveil

HTC has already confirmed it will announce its next flagship smartphone on May 16. The device will be launched on the market as HTC U 11, but we have yet to learn when exactly it will be available and how much it will cost.

Since HTC can't tell us too much about the upcoming U 11 handset, the Taiwanese company released a video teaser that emphasizes on the smartphone's unique touch-sensitive edges that can interpret gestures into various actions.

The HTC U 11 allows users to “squeeze” it in order to take advantage of this unique gesture system, so the video teaser released today highlights exactly that.

According to the latest rumors, the HTC U 11 will be equipped with Qualcomm's Snapdragon 835 processor, coupled with 4GB RAM and 64GB of internal memory. Also, the flagship is said to boast a 5.5-inch display with quad HD (2560 x 1440 pixels) resolution.



There's no mention of a dual-lens camera on the back, though reports claim the U 11 will come with a 12-megapixel rear-facing snapper and a secondary 16-megapixel selfie shooter. More importantly, the phone will be powered by a massive 4,000 mAh battery.

Another piece of information that we've been able to learn is the fact that HTC U 11 will be available in five colors at launch: black, white, blue, red, and silver. With less than a month left until the phone's official unveil, HTC will most likely continue to release teasers to maintain the hype.
