HTC U11 looks like Ferrari of the smartphones. it's very futuristic with that Edge Sense and highest DXOmark of 90 for camera and HTC's audio sound and reliability has always been the best in the world of smartphones.
Abanobi Ifeanyi the trick isn't to try something new, but to try something new and succeed. Samsung succeeded with the Note, they succeeded with their curved glass, they succeeded with their AMOLED screen, they succeeded with their own Exynos processor. Whereas HTC only succeeded with BoomSound which they removed from the HTC 10 and U11. They fucked up really bad with headphone jack for no reason at all. Now they will live with the consequences.
Mr soprano what's curved glass?it's nothing to me.what really matters is built quality and nice features,and you know that curved glass is not a feature.the only truth there is this, Samsung sales more than HTC and is a fact.But in terms of quality,audio and other features HTC beats Samsung by far that is the plain truth because i have used both.Note,s6&7 and HTC m7&8,and desire series.But with this u11 htc is sure to succeed with the sales.already many people are buying it including me.U11 is just fantastic and you know that,it's just that you are not a fan of HTC.even Samsung fans are buying it too.
I've actually held the S8 and I almost feel like its too tall and narrow. Definitely a weird one to hold. I think I prefer having a little bit of a bezel around the phone to be able to hold it by.
blane237 yeah my bro got s8 plus. it looks smaller than my htc 10 and also i dont feel comfortable holding it coz all of the front is bezel less. just watching youtube videos on it was fun the rest was nothing new
I just bought my HTC u11 and I can say it's great, much better than s8 plus I owned before... Super snappy phone, awesome camera, great stereo sound, highly recommended
Call me crazy but I like wider screens better to consume media content, putting both side by side looks like the U11 display is pretty on par with the one on the S8 in terms of color and saturation, those blacks looked really nice!
well no they dont. i can see you dont have an s8, because the speaker is really loud. its not to say its better than stereo speakers but it definitely doesnt suck
most of the people need speakers for just call ringtones message tones. everyone uses headphones for listening to music. I m not a fan of any! I use a Sony Xperia z1 which has below average sound but I ddnt had any problem with it.
I'll have to give it to HTC, but only because I am an HTC 10 (M-Series) owner, and I already enjoy some of the features that the U11 received from the 10...However, except for the 360 sound for video recording and the stepped-up cameras and all related functions, I am not liking some of the other features carried over from the previous U-Series handsets (Such as no 3.5 jack and the glass build - The colors are nice, but I never rock without a case, nor cover glass - even on my HTC 10!)...I do like the Edge Sense feature, though...Nobody else has that one - yet! Kudos to HTC on the U11...Looking forward to the more in-depth review as the actual consumer models wind their way through...
HTC, the way I see it, WAS the king of phone speakers. I ordered the Alcatel 4S. THAT has powerful JBL front facing stereo speakers! It's gonna be black and gold. Has a 5.5" amoled display. And a headphone jack.
Dropped my Google Pixel a couple of weeks ago. Likely to be replacing from insurance money this week with the HTC U11, going from the best phone that was available at the time to the best that is available now and likely to remain so until the Pixel 2 is launched at the end of the year. The Pixel's camera knocked spots off everything other than the iPhone 7+ and the camera in the HTC U11 is the same camera that was in the Pixel but with a wider aperture lens and additional software, so it's pretty obvious that it's currently the best camera out there. Adding waterproofing, better sound and an updated speedier processor to what was on the Pixel kind of makes it a no brainer. I think the HTC U11 is currently the best android phone on the market. I'm not sure that the Samsung S8 is even in second place at the moment and is likely to be at least matched by the OnePlus 5 at a far cheaper price over the next few weeks too.
Well, if you really have balanced opinions between the two brands and that you have been using both the brands since ages, then you would definitely vote for HTC. They lack marketing resulting in less sales, but honest feedback is that HTC only can give you the premium feel in any department compared to the cheaply built Samsung
s8 has better screen and thin bezel, but htc is also superior in camera, better position of finger print unlock and i love that noise canceling earphone, seems pretty useful on the flight, and the price is much cheaper than s8, so my vote goes to U11
now you can get unlocked S8 at $720 on amazon while u11 set you back $650. $70 is not much cheaper by any means to me. on top of that i cant get over the fact it lacks headphone jack
The Rice Man : No. the removal of that has made them a no purchase from myself & several of my friends & family who have only had HTC phones. Mostly for camping & long drives so you can keep the phone charges & play music through the car radio. Blutooth sounds like mud!
Samsung sucks, but spends much on marketing. The masses are asses and that is why Samsung is so popular. I had a Samsung Galaxy S6 and about lost my mind after a day with it after being on an HTC. Took it back and love my HTC 10. Pre-ordered the u11 today!
Shadi Alafenish and btw you should shave your balls first if your saying i love colorful icons..Are you blind or you are just stupid??.of course all icons has color..Pls use your brain.your stupidness is lvl 999999999
Very nice comparison, at first the HTC disappointed me with the large bezels, but seeing this it holds up a bit better. The squeezable frame worked very fluidly there!
the only new feature of s8 is actually and only the infinity display. not so innovative after all. but for HTC. there is a bunch of new function which I'm sure will be copied by others in next gen flagships.
noname "infinite diaplay" is just marketing, is the same screen of S6-S7, but larger they named "INFINITE" But that doesn't make it special in any way, Not everyone likes Amoled, Bluetooth 5 can be found on other phones like XZ Premium (idk about U11)
TopTen Bd oh stop it kiddo.. clearly htc copy samsung with that shiny glass back or did u forget that htc used to use metal body? Lol kiddo.. u are disgusting and idiot..
Pat Star I rather the HTC design, thats my opinión so urs is totally subjetive, even if u were right u can not Say Samsung is better, u r talking about only screen vs better camera, better, clearer and louder sound, better GPU, u can see in other videos the last Samsung smartphone lagging with low quality graphycs games, thats the truth so face it, don't come here pretending there is a huge difference between both screens just to conclude Samsung did better this time, cuz.the truth is there, HTC beating Samsung in 80% of specs, do u really think i even care if Samsung has better marketing?, i care about the smartphone i don't give a shhh about Samsung's marketing, HTC did better this time and most of people agree that
Cmon hahaha i rather the HTC design, the colos and the paint are insane, also U11 has better cameras, has better multitasking, better sound, much much better GPU, there are MANY videos where u can see the S8 lagging un low quallity graphyc games, so please don't come here pretending Samsung did better this time when there's not even a huge difference between both screens, u are giving all the credit to a fucking screen vs all the other features?, wake up!, and face it, i don't f.... care about if Changchung has better marketing, i only care about the which has more and better functions, desing, features and stuff, and at this point anyone can't deny HTC did better this time
Why does no one realise that Samsung did nothing new this year. The s8 basically has a "infinity" display. That's nothing new and innovative. I'm going to buy the U 11. It basically does everything better than the s8. HTC is best known for their sound and performance. The camera now is also better than on the s8. The display is sharper because of the same resolution but the smaller display on the Htc. There is really not much good left on Samsungs side. Not to mention the oversaturated and unreal colors and the poor placement of the fingerprint scanner. I really hope the people buy Htc. I want them back, I always knew they will one day be the best again. And right now they clearly are, even if the U 11 doesn't sell well because of the higher ad budget on Samsungs side.
Haroon Rasheed Syed But they invented nothing new. The bezel-less design was already a thing in Asia at that time and the iris scanner is no reason to buy a phone.
If the u 11 does everything better than the samsung but looks not as good, why would you buy the s8 then? Just because it looks better? Not a reason to buy it for me
Are the speakers on the New M 11 as good as the awesome speakers on my HTC M 8 Where will the speakers be located on the M 11 ? ? Are the facing you or are they on the top edge and bottom edge of the phone ? ? I have the M 8 Great phone and awesome front speakers I'M ALL ABOUT THE SOUND QUALITY of the speakers
HTC over Samsung every day of the week and twice on sundays. The HTC looks better, the boom sound speakers are lightyears ahead and HTC Sense is so much nicer than Samsung Touchwiz. I've had experience with both brands and the HTC phones are so much better. And as long as they keep installing their own totally useless apps, I'm not even considering taking another Samsung. The only let down with HTC was the camera but with the U11 they completely redeemed themselves. So Samsung S8, please move your ass out of the way, HTC U11 is coming through :-)
Both are great phones, but my personal preference is going to be the S8. I don't know which phone is objectively better, but when I look at the S8 I feel much better than when I look at the HTC. A few years ago I would have gone for the features powerhouse phone, but now I realized that I'm never going to take full advantage of even half of the things these phones offer. Some people will definitely find uses, but I personally won't. In my opinion, the S8 caters to what I want from my phone now. Though I'd be happy with both.
I'm still going to buy the HTC U11. it is literally everything I could ask for in a smartphone. I just really really wish they would stop removing the headphone jack. I know that's the way all the new phones are going but still...having to use and/or buy an adapter constantly is annoying. especially because the U11 looks like it has plenty of space for a headphone jack. other than that though, I absolutely can't wait for this.
So here it is 2+ years after you post... *1* Did you even buy a phone, and if so, which one? *2* Is it performing as you hoped it would? I've got the *HTC U11* and I don't see any phone on the market today that compares. *HTC Sense* is a key factor!
U11 : better ui, noise cancellation, beautiful back, 128GB memory, 6GB ram, cheaper, no bloat ware, HTC edge (squeeze) S8: gorgeous screen and front, Bluetooth (range,speed,pair two devices), Samsung pay, bigger screen in smaller body, 3.5 jack I don't know what to choose or wait for iPhone 8 and note 8
Both look beautiful. Samsung's marketing power will make sure galaxy 8s sell millions more for sure. For me, I don't care about splash proofing, even though HTC finally made it. The hardware specs really don't make any difference. I do think the next phone I'll try it the U11 for the following reasons in the order of importance. You make your own decisions:) 1. samsung's bloatware is just plain annoying 2. it could be a gimmick, but I'd like to try the squeeze function, this could be exactly opposite of the annoying edge issue with the galaxy....but it would definitely make me feel better if the selfie cam has OIS 3. hardware DAC 4. tried the edge on the samsung, it's annoying, and samsung also shrank with width of the screen for it...and makes it harder to read...yes I'm getting old If I end up not getting either it would be because 1. as close as HTC is to stock android, it is not stock android 2. security patch support aren't good on either....but again, if I want the best patch support, I may have to get an iphone....that's not happening 3. both way too big for me, I may have to put on another 100 pounds for it to fit in my pocket...that would make me 270 pounds:( I'm getting old, but not old enough to put up with a phone that I have to hold in my hand all the time.....maybe So, if I try it, it's be the HTC U11.
S8 for the design, U11 for the overall specs. But we all know that although the U11 is much better than S8, it will not sell more because of S8's futuristic design and strong brand
I'm just wondering if the htc u 11 sound better with wired headphones or ear buds than the 10 . I know the 10 has an amplifier . I didn't hear anything good for earns or headphones in the 11
Hi Thanks for your video. I'm stuck between these two and I can't decide. One question, I've heard that htc faces problems after like 2 3 years, my sister had 2 htc phones and they both died after 2 3 years. On the other hand, samsung faces software issues after 2 3 years and they might need factory reset and stuff... So noticing these issues, which one do you suggest? Or any other issue that I have to notice? Please please help me
We can never use any one phone for such long periods of time, but we score and recommend devices based on your average 24-month contract. In recent memory, Samsung has been more proactive with its software updates. Hope that helps.
how do you consider samsung to be more proactive with software updates? Pretty much all htc phones all the way back to m8 were running nougat before the s7... that's definitely one thing htc takes the crown in is software updates but as far as customer support I think samsung wins there because they are more available, only good thing about htc customer support is the uh oh replacement
Kiana Mousavi no its totally wrong i had an htc phone one m8 and it is still amzing great performance since day 1 without any factory reset on the other hand i never bought a samsung phone after s5 touchwiz is the most ugliest, and slower skin ever. I have to reset my phone after every 3 or 4 months. On the other hand ive never do reset to my m8 and its is still rocking like a king
Yes, I totally agree with the customer support of Samsung, especially because I live in Iran and there are a few official customer supports here but I haven't seen any official customer service for htc, I searched but I couldn't find any. And it's a bit risky to buy a phone without any support here
Hmmm that's great. I've never had a Samsung because I don't like the brand (idk why) but S8 really grabbed my attention. Also I have to consider the fact that HTC is not well supported in my country and I don't think there is any official customer supoort center. ( and I love the camera on U11 !)
I am confused as to purchase the new U11 or Samsung galaxy S8. I am more of a camera and music guy. bezels don't bother me. Could you do a full review of U11 Vs Samsung galaxy S8 camera
u11 has the best camera and the best sound ever , the best headphones (active noise cancelatio thanks to the type c port which 3.5 cannot deliever such power ) best boomsounding , the only thing that s8 is netter is the display but not so much , for me i will go with u11 , smoother ui , faster , better recording , squeeze ,
Htc was dying because samsung camera had always been better than HTC. but after a long time HTC have done this right. HTC camera is the best. Audio is always been better. and Squeeze feature is unique. if they do the marketing correctly they can easily gain the market share.
one slight problem with this review. You said that the s8 has more options with unlocking and locking the phone but in reality, HTC has facial recognition, voice recognition, and so forth (all except finger print scanner) and has had so since the m9. I know, because I am writing this message from a m9. People have been sleep on HTC's innovation for years. Mainly because they never owned one.
HTC U11 looks like Ferrari of the smartphones. it's very futuristic with that Edge Sense and highest DXOmark of 90 for camera and HTC's audio sound and reliability has always been the best in the world of smartphones.
but then lamborghini came with their innovative design and attractive looks ;)
Farid Amin no shit sir not even toyota of smartphone with no 3.5 mm jack
socksare Harder but Lamborghini usually catches fire
using one model to identify the entire company is like assuming an entire country is full of rapists because of just a few ;)
vishal dash thats a characteristic of samsung to catch fire...and they are pretty good at doing it.
HTC U 11 to my understanding it's better than S8
HTC is still the big guy and that's what they have just proved,trying something new that no one else has done.this U11 is incredible love you HTC.
That's in your own opinion. So do not speak for others.
Abanobi Ifeanyi the trick isn't to try something new, but to try something new and succeed. Samsung succeeded with the Note, they succeeded with their curved glass, they succeeded with their AMOLED screen, they succeeded with their own Exynos processor. Whereas HTC only succeeded with BoomSound which they removed from the HTC 10 and U11. They fucked up really bad with headphone jack for no reason at all. Now they will live with the consequences.
You are incorrect. The HTC 10 and 11 both still have boomsound. Please check your facts before posting.
Daniel Wilson That's why they don't make tablet sided phones.
Mr soprano what's curved glass?it's nothing to me.what really matters is built quality and nice features,and you know that curved glass is not a feature.the only truth there is this, Samsung sales more than HTC and is a fact.But in terms of quality,audio and other features HTC beats Samsung by far that is the plain truth because i have used both.Note,s6&7 and HTC m7&8,and desire series.But with this u11 htc is sure to succeed with the sales.already many people are buying it including me.U11 is just fantastic and you know that,it's just that you are not a fan of HTC.even Samsung fans are buying it too.
HTC's software is always better than Samsung's, and now even the hardware is better, welcome back HTC
Carjon Deng nailed it
Carjon Deng just look at that hct home it reminds me of Andriod 2.0 😂 and that low resulution screen eew
low resolution? Are you kidding me? If 1440p is low then what should be high?
Carjon Deng I mean the screen quality
Carjon Deng Unbox your phone bro
I've actually held the S8 and I almost feel like its too tall and narrow. Definitely a weird one to hold. I think I prefer having a little bit of a bezel around the phone to be able to hold it by.
blane237 yeah my bro got s8 plus. it looks smaller than my htc 10 and also i dont feel comfortable holding it coz all of the front is bezel less. just watching youtube videos on it was fun the rest was nothing new
I just bought my HTC u11 and I can say it's great, much better than s8 plus I owned before... Super snappy phone, awesome camera, great stereo sound, highly recommended
Call me crazy but I like wider screens better to consume media content, putting both side by side looks like the U11 display is pretty on par with the one on the S8 in terms of color and saturation, those blacks looked really nice!
I'll take HTC for the Boom Sound. When is Samsung going to realize that speakers are important too?
mmjiang426 Well said: their speakers suck!
well no they dont. i can see you dont have an s8, because the speaker is really loud. its not to say its better than stereo speakers but it definitely doesnt suck
timrock11 loud not means good
most of the people need speakers for just call ringtones message tones. everyone uses headphones for listening to music.
I m not a fan of any! I use a Sony Xperia z1 which has below average sound but I ddnt had any problem with it.
exactly. thats why it needs to be loud and not a HI-FI 5.1 audio system like some people demand
I'll have to give it to HTC, but only because I am an HTC 10 (M-Series) owner, and I already enjoy some of the features that the U11 received from the 10...However, except for the 360 sound for video recording and the stepped-up cameras and all related functions, I am not liking some of the other features carried over from the previous U-Series handsets (Such as no 3.5 jack and the glass build - The colors are nice, but I never rock without a case, nor cover glass - even on my HTC 10!)...I do like the Edge Sense feature, though...Nobody else has that one - yet!

Instead of M11 they called it U11. same thing.
Always like HTC phones
HTC U 11 score high on Dxomark 90 S8 88
2 scores it's SOOOO MUUUCCCHH(no,dumbass)
Ben Laben regardless ,it's still the highest score ever given on a smartphone camera! Acting all butt hurt.
Ben Laben inch or a mile,. winning is winning
Ben Laben Apply cold water to burnt area.
Ben Laben
Smaller bezels are SOOOO GREEEAAAATTT (no dumb@$$)
HTC=Hail The Champion
azrul nizam
Imma steal this abbreviation yeah 😁😁
ibziee you can have it 😁
azrul nizam you need to sell that to HTC
HTC, the way I see it, WAS the king of phone speakers. I ordered the Alcatel 4S. THAT has powerful JBL front facing stereo speakers! It's gonna be black and gold. Has a 5.5" amoled display. And a headphone jack.
I'm really loving that HTC, beautiful in every aspect 👍
Htc u 11 is fabulous can't wait to have it.
me too
it looks chunky and dull
Right. That totally reflective surface "looks dull". That's the best dis you have?
+Daniel Wilson haha these Samsung fanbois are losing their shit. so much so they have to make stuff up and spread fake news.
Dropped my Google Pixel a couple of weeks ago.

I'm not sure that the Samsung S8 is even in second place at the moment and is likely to be at least matched by the OnePlus 5 at a far cheaper price over the next few weeks too.
Everybody in social media says he will buy the HTC and then the S8 gets sold like hot bread.
Got both of them always loved HTC UI
HTC U11 is best for me
gadgets lover ya man it does just about everything the s8 does plus less breakable and best in class audio.
Brendon Norris it has better Software than s8
gadgets lover thats for sure plus faster updates
gadgets lover Thats such old news. S8 has one if the best Android skins nowadays offering the most features.
Which is great if you love LAG.
Well, if you really have balanced opinions between the two brands and that you have been using both the brands since ages, then you would definitely vote for HTC. They lack marketing resulting in less sales, but honest feedback is that HTC only can give you the premium feel in any department compared to the cheaply built Samsung
I'm sorry but the way your face warps in the HTC backpanel is just hilarious. Great video btw!
htc pisses over samsung and iphone but samsung and iphone just have more money to market their shit phones more. hope htc u 11 sells well
s8 has better screen and thin bezel, but htc is also superior in camera, better position of finger print unlock and i love that noise canceling earphone, seems pretty useful on the flight, and the price is much cheaper than s8, so my vote goes to U11
HTC has the better screen
Ronald de Groot u r blind .love or hate Samsung. the s8 screen is the best smartphone screen ever human made.
now you can get unlocked S8 at $720 on amazon while u11 set you back $650. $70 is not much cheaper by any means to me. on top of that i cant get over the fact it lacks headphone jack
준영 It comes with a dongle. Stop about the missing headphone jack
The Rice Man : No. the removal of that has made them a no purchase from myself & several of my friends & family who have only had HTC phones. Mostly for camping & long drives so you can keep the phone charges & play music through the car radio. Blutooth sounds like mud!
tbh i really not sure wether to hang on for the one plus 5 or get the htc 11. atm i probs going to get the htc
ukmate360minecraft One plus 5 if you are in budget, I hope one plus remains the cheaper flagship killer.
i heard it is going to be similarly priced in the US.
Samsung sucks, but spends much on marketing. The masses are asses and that is why Samsung is so popular. I had a Samsung Galaxy S6 and about lost my mind after a day with it after being on an HTC. Took it back and love my HTC 10. Pre-ordered the u11 today!
Travis Williams that's cool bro, i can't wait to preorder my XZP. Pre orders are always exciting.
HTC U-11 it's much better than the Samsung S8 and less price as well
HTC awesome and the launcher is way better than touchwiz
BloodFlow HigH htc icons are same on lollipop.LoL😂
_ XhunterX_ i bet this kid afraid to shave his balls ! he loves colorful UI like 3 years old ,
Shadi Alafenish thats why its borin, see the icons??.its not unified with different shapes and sizes like crap...
Shadi Alafenish and btw you should shave your balls first if your saying i love colorful icons..Are you blind or you are just stupid??.of course all icons has color..Pls use your brain.your stupidness is lvl 999999999
S8 doesnt have touchwiz
why i have a feeling that U11's display is better..?
Very nice comparison, at first the HTC disappointed me with the large bezels, but seeing this it holds up a bit better. The squeezable frame worked very fluidly there!
I'm sure U11 can make my hands stronger
the only new feature of s8 is actually and only the infinity display. not so innovative after all.
but for HTC. there is a bunch of new function which I'm sure will be copied by others in next gen flagships.
Like ........
I agree, the HTC is much more innovative.
But: I think the S8 is an overall better phone.
Ken Tang
Honestly I just want really good audio recording but I don't argue that the s8 is probably better for most people.
I agree, the S8 isnt innovative in any way, HTC did better there.
But: Its an overall better phone.
noname "infinite diaplay" is just marketing, is the same screen of S6-S7, but larger they named "INFINITE" But that doesn't make it special in any way, Not everyone likes Amoled, Bluetooth 5 can be found on other phones like XZ Premium (idk about U11)
Htc u 11 better than s8 .htc u 11 feel luxurious too over s8
So what?in front htc look 2013 model but s8 in back look like 2010 model....and 80 percent copy from iPhone htc...
TopTen Bd oh stop it kiddo.. clearly htc copy samsung with that shiny glass back or did u forget that htc used to use metal body? Lol kiddo.. u are disgusting and idiot..
HTC still the best. just love watching haters whine
HTC still just the shittest. Just love watching their sales drop even lower & lower to the 0.1% market share department XDDDDDD
that is exactly the whining I meant lol
lol and i'm enjoying the exact news about how HTC is in "Others" on market share now lol
vedye does it matter how the sales are? lmao. whats that have to do with how good this phone is.
as if they did something bad to you man, chill
HTC !!! THIS PHONE WILL BE HARD TO BEAT!!

Pat Star HTC always looked old, like retro techonology, i love it, face it, HTC beats Samsung for second time
Pat Star I rather the HTC design, thats my opinión so urs is totally subjetive, even if u were right u can not Say Samsung is better, u r talking about only screen vs better camera, better, clearer and louder sound, better GPU, u can see in other videos the last Samsung smartphone lagging with low quality graphycs games, thats the truth so face it, don't come here pretending there is a huge difference between both screens just to conclude Samsung did better this time, cuz.the truth is there, HTC beating Samsung in 80% of specs, do u really think i even care if Samsung has better marketing?, i care about the smartphone i don't give a shhh about Samsung's marketing, HTC did better this time and most of people agree that

My HTC U11 arrives Monday in Amazing Silver! 😍
The htc do also got face recognition!!!!!
The S8 only has a curvier and bigger screen, HTC had reliability...
htc u11 looks good, but that screen to body ration on the s8 is just too good!
no excuse for the U11 to not have Wireless Charging
HTC, love HTC love the new U11
Good job HTC . a preorder is on the way.
I've got the u11 and it's a fast beast of a phone. If your into mobile gaming it handles everything on high settings with ease.
totally surprised with the HTC.. but not the design..maybe slowly gonna love it tho
a really nice phone. I like it.
HTC is my choice
Orderd the HTC U11 amazing Silver today
Can't wait
hey the s8 is on 7.0 and the HTC is on 7.1
firebulletstorm its not a big difference. software is better on samsung, more functions and better looking os
Pat Star I know I was just saying and I prefer HTC but it's personal preference but I know that there's not much of a difference
Htc has been changing the game. Glad it's finally being looked at as a contender.
Why does no one realise that Samsung did nothing new this year. The s8 basically has a "infinity" display. That's nothing new and innovative. I'm going to buy the U 11. It basically does everything better than the s8. HTC is best known for their sound and performance. The camera now is also better than on the s8. The display is sharper because of the same resolution but the smaller display on the Htc. There is really not much good left on Samsungs side. Not to mention the oversaturated and unreal colors and the poor placement of the fingerprint scanner. I really hope the people buy Htc. I want them back, I always knew they will one day be the best again. And right now they clearly are, even if the U 11 doesn't sell well because of the higher ad budget on Samsungs side.
Great comment buddy nice to see some of us still have some good sense. HTC U 11 KILLS samjunk.
Jakob they don't have the same resolution
Haroon Rasheed Syed Brause they did nothing new. I let everyone decide which phone they wanna buy. I just prove why Htc's are better.
Haroon Rasheed Syed But they invented nothing new. The bezel-less design was already a thing in Asia at that time and the iris scanner is no reason to buy a phone.
If the u 11 does everything better than the samsung but looks not as good, why would you buy the s8 then? Just because it looks better? Not a reason to buy it for me
Are the speakers on the New M 11 as good as the awesome speakers on my HTC M 8
Where will the speakers be located on the M 11 ? ? Are the facing you or are they on the top edge and bottom edge of the phone ? ? I have the M 8 Great phone and awesome front speakers I'M ALL ABOUT THE SOUND QUALITY of the speakers
RT Rey u11 speakers is alot better , i dont want to tell why but i will tell you the shortcut answer ,yes u11 is better
HTC is better than Samsung s8
HTC U11 looks better
Have a Galaxy s7 currently. Really thinking about considering the HTC u11 as my next device.
Well, apparently it's camera isn't as good as the U11...And my God, worse place for the fingerprint scanner - - right next to the camera.
HTC over Samsung every day of the week and twice on sundays. The HTC looks better, the boom sound speakers are lightyears ahead and HTC Sense is so much nicer than Samsung Touchwiz. I've had experience with both brands and the HTC phones are so much better. And as long as they keep installing their own totally useless apps, I'm not even considering taking another Samsung. The only let down with HTC was the camera but with the U11 they completely redeemed themselves. So Samsung S8, please move your ass out of the way, HTC U11 is coming through :-)
Both are great phones, but my personal preference is going to be the S8. I don't know which phone is objectively better, but when I look at the S8 I feel much better than when I look at the HTC. A few years ago I would have gone for the features powerhouse phone, but now I realized that I'm never going to take full advantage of even half of the things these phones offer. Some people will definitely find uses, but I personally won't. In my opinion, the S8 caters to what I want from my phone now.
Though I'd be happy with both.
you bought this U11 frm Dubai?
coz I went to sharaf DG and they said its available tomorrow May 31
if depends this two phone, I prefer HTC u11
the blink field is my best feature about HTC
I'm still going to buy the HTC U11. it is literally everything I could ask for in a smartphone. I just really really wish they would stop removing the headphone jack. I know that's the way all the new phones are going but still...having to use and/or buy an adapter constantly is annoying. especially because the U11 looks like it has plenty of space for a headphone jack. other than that though, I absolutely can't wait for this.
HTC u11 battery life? screen time?
rooting for HTC U11
no headphone jack is a deal breaker for me
HTC U11 super phone 👑👑super super super 👍👍
Does anyone know what happens if i charge the U11 with a Quickcharge 2.0 charger? Will it "quickcharge" or will it just work like a generic charger?
HTC 11 u the best for me. Samsung Galaxy sux s8
when did the S8 get the 7.1 update?
I'm stuck between S8 and U11, I wanna know which one has a better lifespan for long term usage and bettery life?
the s8 plus is too big for my hand.
So here it is 2+ years after you post...
*1* Did you even buy a phone, and if so, which one?
*2* Is it performing as you hoped it would?
I've got the *HTC U11* and I don't see any phone on the market today that compares. *HTC Sense* is a key factor!
Samsung couldn't improve on the camera, such a shame, they are focusing only on design and forgetting the most important features.
I *HATED* the U ultra and U play but I *LOVE* U11
U11 : better ui, noise cancellation, beautiful back, 128GB memory, 6GB ram, cheaper, no bloat ware, HTC edge (squeeze)
S8: gorgeous screen and front, Bluetooth (range,speed,pair two devices), Samsung pay, bigger screen in smaller body, 3.5 jack
I don't know what to choose or wait for iPhone 8 and note 8
htc you did wonderful job...
Both look beautiful. Samsung's marketing power will make sure galaxy 8s sell millions more for sure.
For me, I don't care about splash proofing, even though HTC finally made it. The hardware specs really don't make any difference.
I do think the next phone I'll try it the U11 for the following reasons in the order of importance. You make your own decisions:)
1. samsung's bloatware is just plain annoying
2. it could be a gimmick, but I'd like to try the squeeze function, this could be exactly opposite of the annoying edge issue with the galaxy....but it would definitely make me feel better if the selfie cam has OIS
3. hardware DAC
4. tried the edge on the samsung, it's annoying, and samsung also shrank with width of the screen for it...and makes it harder to read...yes I'm getting old
If I end up not getting either it would be because
1. as close as HTC is to stock android, it is not stock android
2. security patch support aren't good on either....but again, if I want the best patch support, I may have to get an iphone....that's not happening
3. both way too big for me, I may have to put on another 100 pounds for it to fit in my pocket...that would make me 270 pounds:( I'm getting old, but not old enough to put up with a phone that I have to hold in my hand all the time.....maybe
So, if I try it, it's be the HTC U11.
Should I switch from my S8 to the U11? That is the question. I am absolutely loving my s8 so far.
U 11 is awesome. For functionality I'd go U11 but imo the s8 just plain looks better. Sticking with the s8+
what is there graphics cards?
does it come with zoe
HTC has taken the edge in both senses 😉
S8 for the design, U11 for the overall specs. But we all know that although the U11 is much better than S8, it will not sell more because of S8's futuristic design and strong brand
S8 comes with Android version 7.0 not 7.1
S Saini they do it on purpose I believe
I'm just wondering if the htc u 11 sound better with wired headphones or ear buds than the 10 . I know the 10 has an amplifier . I didn't hear anything good for earns or headphones in the 11
T'chang Pura thanks man seems the 11 is great
Hi
Thanks for your video. I'm stuck between these two and I can't decide. One question, I've heard that htc faces problems after like 2 3 years, my sister had 2 htc phones and they both died after 2 3 years. On the other hand, samsung faces software issues after 2 3 years and they might need factory reset and stuff...
So noticing these issues, which one do you suggest? Or any other issue that I have to notice?
Please please help me
We can never use any one phone for such long periods of time, but we score and recommend devices based on your average 24-month contract. In recent memory, Samsung has been more proactive with its software updates. Hope that helps.
how do you consider samsung to be more proactive with software updates? Pretty much all htc phones all the way back to m8 were running nougat before the s7... that's definitely one thing htc takes the crown in is software updates but as far as customer support I think samsung wins there because they are more available, only good thing about htc customer support is the uh oh replacement
Kiana Mousavi no its totally wrong i had an htc phone one m8 and it is still amzing great performance since day 1 without any factory reset on the other hand i never bought a samsung phone after s5 touchwiz is the most ugliest, and slower skin ever. I have to reset my phone after every 3 or 4 months. On the other hand ive never do reset to my m8 and its is still rocking like a king
Yes, I totally agree with the customer support of Samsung, especially because I live in Iran and there are a few official customer supports here but I haven't seen any official customer service for htc, I searched but I couldn't find any. And it's a bit risky to buy a phone without any support here
Hmmm that's great. I've never had a Samsung because I don't like the brand (idk why) but S8 really grabbed my attention.
Also I have to consider the fact that HTC is not well supported in my country and I don't think there is any official customer supoort center. ( and I love the camera on U11 !)
I am confused as to purchase the new U11 or Samsung galaxy S8. I am more of a camera and music guy. bezels don't bother me.
Could you do a full review of U11 Vs Samsung galaxy S8 camera
u11 has the best camera and the best sound ever , the best headphones (active noise cancelatio thanks to the type c port which 3.5 cannot deliever such power ) best boomsounding , the only thing that s8 is netter is the display but not so much , for me i will go with u11 , smoother ui , faster , better recording , squeeze ,
Shadi Alafenish thank you so very much for the suggestion. I'll go with U11 then.
Unfortunately, t-mobile doesn't sale HTC models anymore, apparently. So I have to go with the S8. Which isn't a bad thing.
Htc was dying because samsung camera had always been better than HTC. but after a long time HTC have done this right. HTC camera is the best. Audio is always been better. and Squeeze feature is unique.
if they do the marketing correctly they can easily gain the market share.
HTC FOR LIFE!!!!!! *SHOUT OUT LOUD*
Lol. Got a HTC U11 ad just before the vid.
Biggest turnoff for me regarding S8 is no stereo speakers. I mean come on Samsung, we are in 2017, not 2007.
one slight problem with this review. You said that the s8 has more options with unlocking and locking the phone but in reality, HTC has facial recognition, voice recognition, and so forth (all except finger print scanner) and has had so since the m9. I know, because I am writing this message from a m9. People have been sleep on HTC's innovation for years. Mainly because they never owned one.
u11,better than s8
wow im surprised to see so many people choosing the u11 but the samsung still crushes it
