The HTC U11+ and U11 EYEs can be ordered in the US via Amazon (without warranty)

In the last couple of months, HTC announced three newsmartphones: HTC U11 Life, HTC U11+, and HTC U11 EYEs. Only the less advancedamong them - U11 Life - is officially available in the US, but thisdoesn't mean that you can't buy the other two phones (if you really want themand you're ready to deal with some downsides).

Introduced as HTC's first handsets to sport displays with18:9 aspect ratios, the U11+ and U11 EYEs are now both available to order on Amazon - but only via third-party sellers, at prices that are higher than you might expect. These are unlocked international variants of the two devices,so they don't come with USwarranty, and they do not work on CDMA/LTE carriers like Verizon, Sprint, or US Cellular. You will be able to use the phones on AT&T (LTE + 3G) andT-Mobile (LTE only).

At the moment, unofficial prices for the unlocked HTC U11+ start at$826, and, if you want the cool translucent black model (pictured above), you'll have to pay $859. The unlocked HTC U11 EYEs (pictured below) costs $614regardless of color variant.
