HTCU11 UK SIM-Free Smartphone - Ice White, with Alexa built-in

I'm really pleased with this phone. I admit, as per a previous poster, I received a (perhaps early unit?) with noticeable dead pixels on the screen. Yes they are very tiny - but do bug me! Amazon customer service was excellent, very swiftly changed. No problems with the replacement, great screen, everything works, excellent build quality - I'm glad I stuck with it. It's not an OLED or AMOLED screen but, having compared to such screens, I can't really see much difference? Yes perhaps the front 'bezels' could be less - I wouldn't quite call them 'dated', they're not as sleek as some current new phones - HTC should have made them a little smaller. But, I like the fact that the control buttons are built into the bottom bezel, and are not onscreen buttons; I've used such phones before and never found many apps that would easily hide them when not in use, so it just seems wasted screen estate? And the fingerprint sensor I also much prefer on the front. It's just easier, and if I have the phone lying on the desk, I can just touch it once to wake the screen and see lockscreen info (which gives more detail than most 'always on' displays?). I read a theory that this bezel space allows for better stereo speakers. Not convinced of that however, I love the speakers! I use the phone a lot at home with the speakers on, rather than using a headset, and the sound is impressive, and loud, for a phone at least. Camera really is excellent, the reviews are right, and the other thing I really like - is the squeeze! Now that they've opened up the customisation, you can do such a lot with it. I travel on the train a lot, usually having to stand (!), so it's great to be able to grip the phone firmly with my one free hand, and just squeeze to do different things (depending on which app you're in, whether the phone is horizontal or vertical, etc). It's genius, much better than trying to stretch a thumb or finger to a part of the screen. Finally, I don't know to explain this, but I just like the 'feel' of this phone. It's like a large pebble in your hand. Yes, it is glass so, I'm very wary of dropping it (but have resisted using a case, so far so good!). It's just nice to hold, and the screen feels 'velvety' if that makes sense, it's just nice! I have a white one so, not the most exciting back I guess, I like it though! A quality phone, I don't understand why some people choose to knock it so. I would buy it again given the choice.

Very happy with my HTC U11 - replacing an HTC One. Without a cover, it will slide off of any surface you lay it on, but this is a minor issue. In all other ways it works well. It charges very quickly and battery lasts well.

Amazing. Exactly as described. Very satisfied with packaging, product and delivery.

Great phone 😊
