Allmost a flgship, for supercheap price in 2018

Posted: Nov 15, 2018, 3:02 AM

Phone owned for less than 3 months

Got it, because i needed large phone, and because of price - in 2018. dropped below 250EUR (for one year old model). Compared to 2018 years flagships Sony XZ3 and Huawei Mate 20 pro ... the new rival phones has got some of RAM, pair of cores in processor and few extras more, for price of +500 EUR more.
WHile on the paper the HTC U ULTRA hardware seems old and not so capable, phone is fast for everyday use (i am not a gamer, so do not put some extra demands on the processor). I was afraid of the small battery, but its ok, I can use the phone through all the day including wifi and bluetooth on.
The most dissapointment is the camera (on previous phone I had Microsoft Lumia 950XL with 21 MPIX superb camera. The XTC`s 12 MPIX camera seems slow, not so user friendly, the laser autofocus is slow and inacurate, low light performance is poor.
Overall, like the device. looks good. And does everything I expected for such a price.
