HTC is so darn underrated! I mean seriously? Some of you are okay with iPhone having no headphone jack, and not to mention about the bezel and here are y'all hating on HTC. If HTC had a simpler body, some would complain on that, if it had headphone jack the others would be like "this is 2017 who uses aux", if it made bezel-less screen the rest would say "HTC copied Samsung", no matter what HTC does some will always complain. HTC did great in upgrading the headphones to such level at least! It's a quick charge phone, go ahead charge it and use the provided headphones. BAAM! I agree that Samsung Galaxy S8 looks beautiful but look at all the other aspects that HTC is better with in comparison. And personally I think the squeeze option is brilliant. Ever tried using your phone's camera when you're with your gloves on during winter? Or how about under water maybe when you're swimming? I've used various HTC handsets for over a decade now, and have never had any issues. Whereas it progressively got better and now has the best camera in the market!
everyone complaining about the headphone Jack. They removed it because USB-C can improve the quality of the sound, also, they have active noise cancelling feature, what aux input can't do. Besides, they also provide you with an audio converter cable(free in the box) and some high quality ear buds. How often are you really listening to music whilst charging your phone (it's not even recommended to use your phone while charging). Everyone talks about improvements and change, while no one actually wants change... Haters gonna hate.
Nice, now there's something for everyone. Those that want the fingerprint scanner on the front and 16:9 aspect ratio don't have to compromise other features anymore, other than a headphone jack. But it's a start at least.
Joey Ryder I'm still using mine, 3 years of trouble free experience not even a frozen screen or buttons and it's still performing excellent without any lag
Sounds like a winner! If I wasn't already romancing an HTC 10, I'd surely consider the U11...However, the metal unibody, the OIS on the front-facer, and of course, the 3.5 headphone jack are difficult to part with...Success with this handset, and Happy 20th Anniversary, HTC!
MICOLE WHYTE what exactly is wrong with the design, you mean no idiotic curved glass screen and that weird aspect ratio and soap bar design, and this coming from a S7 owner. And in regards to the headphone jack, I never use it on my phone, I use a separate DAP for my music, like the Sony ZX2 or iPod Touch 5th generation, this also saves the battery on my phone.
TheChaosblock You should look some of the reviews on TH-cam, they all said that the phone is great. Even in the comments it is hard to find somebody who is not excited about it, or not wanting to get him. U 11 is simply top phone, even hardcored Samsung lovers admit that.
The HTC 10 was by far the best phone from any major Android OEM, yet it didn't "bring HTC back" why do you think this will fair any better. They removed the Headphone Jack and have an already outdated chipset within the device, all for what? A gimmicky pressure sensor, anything this thing can do, can simply be done by creating a bindable button.
TheChaosblock LOL an outdated processor?? WTF are you talking about? And Edge Sense... Don't judge before you have the chance to use it. It's not a gimmick.
For me i would buy this rather than S8 for the following reasons...: 1. Fingerprint scanner placement 2. Finally, a better camera 3. Better music. 4. A better and clean UI 5. Nice colours. i don't mind the bezels. i want FP on the front but not on the back and that too a wierd position like S8. there is iris scanner and facial recognition, but i don't want to look at the camera every time i want to unlock the phone. i like the design of S8 though. But looks aren't everything to me. Htc U11 has a great back too. so i will go for this one...( I am not degrading Samsung here, its just my opinion)
Ash The Geek Honestly Samsung did pretty much everything that HTC did except with a headphone jack, no gimmicky squeeze feature and a bigger, better, higher resolution screen.
Does anyone else miss the old times when there just used to be one simple review? We didn't have unboxing, 24 hour, dozens of comparisons, audio review, camera review then finally the review of the phone? Like I can understand the importance of audio and camera reviews being separate but all the other videos are a plain nuisance. I like pocketnow don't get me wrong, been following it for years but tactics like these are just milking or cheesing the review
DarkFeels just skip the videos you're not interested in. I never watch the audio reviews because I use Bluetooth headphones. I usually skip the camera review as well. I get all the info I need from the actual review.
DarkFeels - The only ones I pay attention to is the full review (after some time has been spent with the handset), and the "6 Months Later" review (which usually take place only with more popular and/or higher-end devices)...The latter of the two is more important to me because this is when I usually make my decision on a new handset - After the test of time...
Yeah the full review and the year later reviews are the most helpful, they are helpful in telling how the phone was at it's present and how it aged both physically and software support wise.
Yeah the full review is usually the most helpful one and covers stuff broadly. But personally i do like camera reviews - Juan does a great job at them and it's helpful to know if you're spending dollars for flagship that what you'll end up with.
Every USB-C to 3.5mm dongle has a DAC built in.. that's how they work. But it doesn't mean it will be a good DAC.. and besides, you can't charge you're phone and use traditional headphones simultaneously.. The phone looks great, but I don't see why removing the headphone jack was necessary for a phone this size. I hate that Motorola and Apple started this trend..
Tj Flex that Dongle DAC adapter is more likely a Men with a detachable penis. You'll never know when you are going to use it for sex until you noticed that it supposed to be there.
JPeace116 Nope, with the HTC bolt or the Moto Z neither the headphones nor the adaptor has a DAC bulit in, HTC and Motorola actually rewired a analogue output via de USB-C port. I can't wait till someone tests this headphones.
Surprised at the positivity of this 24hr review...No headphone jack, ancient UI, no front facing speakers (anymore), bloat...I thought Jaime would burn this phone
sabia que eras Hondureño al ver Tigo shop . que genial ver tus reviews , llevo años viendo muchas de las que haces. un saludo desde San Pedro Sula capo!
Even that i don't find this device like a big "WOW" but at least HTC is trying to go on, impruve their devices and bring some cool new innovaions. This is something that Apple has stoped to do like years ago. So HTC deserved credit for that one.
The only drawback is that it only suppor FullHD 30fps video recording instead of 60fps as all the other flagship have. Just curious will the software be upgraded and support FullHD 60fps video recording later??
Nah, fuck adapters. What would I do if I need to charge my phone and use headphones? I'd have to a) buy a second adapter to use both or b) give up my dank Sennheiser headphones to use wireless ones. I'm not willing to do either so a headphone jack is a must.
Jack Stavris how often is your phone not charged? I thought it would be an issue for me too but it's not that often that I need I need to use both my headphones and my charger and I use my phone a lot
hello, excuse me i noticed that you have the 2pzc300, is there a version of that with 128 gb of storage and 6 gigs of RAM, also... does this works with at&t lte band 4? thanks! Dan
I'm still waiting on a Sony Xperia XZ Premium review from Pocketnow. HTC U11 seems to be a pretty solid phone anyway. S8 vs HTC U11 vs LG G6 vs Xperia XZ Premium comparison would be nice to see.
What is HTC's record with upgrading software ? I am considering this , the Pixel 2, whenever it comes out, or the Essential phone( I am not gonna bother with anything from Samsung,LG,Motorola or One+) I know the pixel will always get the newest software , I suspect , given the owner of the company , the Essential also will. How does HTC do with that ? I need a phone soon , since my X Pure is pure garbage by now ( albeit only 11 months old , since it is a replacement for another that crapped out on month 6 ) and it seems the HTC U11 will hit the market first .
Shikhar Lamba from a long time Samsung user, S3, S4, S7, Note 4,the HTC U11 is one sweet device, my first Android phone was the HTC Incredible, in regards to the Note 8, no thank you, it will have that idiotic curved glass screen and it will be 6.3"-6.4" which is a ridiculous size for a phone.
this is already going to be my daily driver for a while. only device that may make me switch will be the Pixel 2. besides that HTC stepped it up every department. the UI has been the same for a while but then again there's not a lot wrong with it.
All I won't to know is how's the audio with the USB-C to headphone jack dongle on the U11 is vs the mighty htc10 headphone jack with headphones? I love the sound quality of the 10, if the U11 is as good I'm getting one
So exactly how many sessions do you need for the review of the phone? One for unboxing, one for one-day impression, one for audio, one for camera, what else?
htc bragged that all U11s have 2.1 memory, but is it true that U11 has LPDDR4x ram and what does it mean compare standard 4 in S8? I saw some comments but I am not familiar with 4x.... edge sense feature is really useful, it's strange noone ever before included this handy thing.
5 minutes Interections Lol and the major phones haven't appeared yet. Note 8 will take the crown without a doubt. Its always Samsung year for Android World.
Harsh reality but yes. Samsung sells over 300 million phones every year. Even the flagships from Samsung gets sold over 50M units every single year. Can the same be said for hTc or any other Android smartphone company? Hence its always Samsung's year.
I am confused between U11 & Samsung Galaxy S8. I am more of a camera and music guy. Bezels I don't care. Could you please do a full review of camera comparison between the two.
Shis Chougule I have no review for you but if where you I would wait till the U11 camera reviews are out. Then I would compare it to the S8 and see which one I prefer the most. You're into music listening so the U11 is the winner compared to the S8. If it beats the camera too, go for U11 without hesitation. If the S8 camera is still better then you have to sacrifice the music listening and get the S8 for better camera or sacrifice camera and get the U11 for better music listening. Hope this helps!
i didnt like the glossy glass back on the samsung s models but this htc is just over the top. while it looks good from an aesthetic view, it's something i would never ever use as my daily driver.
Sacred I'm the same way with LG G6, but both the G6 and s8 give you some more lifestyle features, like higher ip wireless charging (in US), quality headphone jacks (important for me personally) and I've been driving especially deep into looking up camera samples and so far all three are very close to one another
Beside the display of the s8, u11 is superior, it has better camera, speakers, it has a way better performance and it doesn't lagg after a year like most of the samsung phones, and the u11 also has squeeze and it has a better os(sense), which looks nicer than the new touchwizz, also you will not miss the wireless charging, which is a useless feature if there's fast charge in a phone, and that ip68 water resistance over ip67 doesn't mean much, only minor difference. If you want a phone and not a jewelry(s8) then you should be more than happy to get the new htc
Samsung has a great reputation for not being durable in terms of softvare, and u11's camera was rated as the best smartphone camera at DXO, if you don't trust that you can watch camera comparisons yourself or wait for Pocketnow to upload one, and for the rest, the plus features on the u11 makes it outstanding, like the superior speakers and performance, which i mentioned, and on geekbench both of them score nearly the same, but optimization means more than raw numbers, as you can see that the loading time for apps and games on u11 will be faster, but samsung was never the fastest to say the least, iphones were (because of the good optimization which i talkes about). So my point is that, which do you prefer, a better looking phone(s8), or a better phone itself(u11)?
just review the xz premium! and you will surprised , its such an awesome phone :) keeping the design aspect of the front side aside , everything about the sony is banger this time :)
No compromises? There's a 3000mAh battery there dude, in a phone that's as thick as a Mate9. Also, no headphone jack, probably to make room to that enormous battery.
HTC is so darn underrated! I mean seriously? Some of you are okay with iPhone having no headphone jack, and not to mention about the bezel and here are y'all hating on HTC.

who cares what others say, you like it, you buy it.
Glad I preordered the U11 on the first day. Can't wait to get this beastly beauty.
the camera on that phone must be the best out there ...
Aniket B that remains to be seen .
Aniket B According to benchmarks, it is.
weedwak the dxo mark and the hardware is there to support it. let's see if they pull off pixel like software processing .
Aniket B it is it best the Panasonic gh4 on a shout-out
Pixel XL
I did not expect that. This is THE true 2017 Flagship Phone and will be my net device.
everyone complaining about the headphone Jack. They removed it because USB-C can improve the quality of the sound, also, they have active noise cancelling feature, what aux input can't do.

HTC = Hail The Champion best phone in 2017
Help the Company lol
Hold This Cock
htc m8 by far the best looking best sounding. I just want a updated m8
Joey Ryder I'm still using mine, 3 years of trouble free experience not even a frozen screen or buttons and it's still performing excellent without any lag
Joey Ryder M8 is probably one of the best android phones ever made.
+Farid Amin yes mine top. Htc is best.
The HTC ONE M8 is a true giant in smartphone history when it comes to quality
I am still using mine too! Has been 3 years and it never failed to perform a task
Sounds like a winner! If I wasn't already romancing an HTC 10, I'd surely consider the U11...However, the metal unibody, the OIS on the front-facer, and of course, the 3.5 headphone jack are difficult to part with...Success with this handset, and Happy 20th Anniversary, HTC!
watching on my htc 10.
Really wish they would review the XZ Premium!
Hurileno right
Ahsanul Reza yeah the design is not the best but everything else looks great
MICOLE WHYTE what exactly is wrong with the design, you mean no idiotic curved glass screen and that weird aspect ratio and soap bar design, and this coming from a S7 owner. And in regards to the headphone jack, I never use it on my phone, I use a separate DAP for my music, like the Sony ZX2 or iPod Touch 5th generation, this also saves the battery on my phone.
Hurileno Ummmmm no
Same here!
I'm on the HTC one A9 still the least known HTC phone 😂😂 totally love HTC though this is like a 2015 version of the iPhone 7 running Android 😍
I love the pictures of the family, it makes the videos feel very personable.
The old HTC fanboy inside Jaime has returned, and he's obviously pumped! 😁
Melo why ?this phone is better then anything outthere. S8 has nothing what it makes bettert then this phone and iphone is just shit
HTC made a killer phone... They are back.
This is what you guys said last year, and the year before that, and the year before that, and the year before that, and... I think you get the point.
TheChaosblock You should look some of the reviews on TH-cam, they all said that the phone is great. Even in the comments it is hard to find somebody who is not excited about it, or not wanting to get him. U 11 is simply top phone, even hardcored Samsung lovers admit that.

TheChaosblock LOL an outdated processor?? WTF are you talking about? And Edge Sense... Don't judge before you have the chance to use it. It's not a gimmick.
It was my mistake but the main point still stands at the end of the day, there is no real reason to buy this HTC U11 over the OnePlus 5.
I have a note 5, should I upgrade for an u11 or a note 8 when it comes out?
For me i would buy this rather than S8 for the following reasons...:
1. Fingerprint scanner placement
2. Finally, a better camera
3. Better music.
4. A better and clean UI
5. Nice colours.
i don't mind the bezels. i want FP on the front but not on the back and that too a wierd position like S8. there is iris scanner and facial recognition, but i don't want to look at the camera every time i want to unlock the phone. i like the design of S8 though. But looks aren't everything to me. Htc U11 has a great back too. so i will go for this one...( I am not degrading Samsung here, its just my opinion)
my love at first sight is the the LG V series. I loved those phones. Currently with a G6, waiting for the V30.
Welcome back HTC!
honestly the most beautiful phone i've ever seen.
don't care what anyone thinks. People can fall into heavy marketing of apple or samsung. i'm getting this for sure
Ash The Geek Honestly Samsung did pretty much everything that HTC did except with a headphone jack, no gimmicky squeeze feature and a bigger, better, higher resolution screen.
AllAlongTheWatchtower got ehm
AllAlongTheWatchtower yeah... and stutter since day 1. Thanks. I'll pass.
I was rather underwhelmed with the U Ultra, but the U11 looks promising. Looking forward to the full review, mahalo!
Does anyone else miss the old times when there just used to be one simple review?

thanks, pre ordered....any idea when I'll be getting it? anyone?
Last year LG was the most underrated smartphone producer, this year I think it's HTC
that family photo was adorable! 😋
Jaime Rivera, do you recommends buying a case instead of using the one HTC gives ?
I see you came to my Island, Roatan, Islas de la Bahía, Honduras. Kudos to you! Great reviews!
I want this phone.
No compromises? No headphone jack seems like a compromise..
JPeace116 "Small" compromise considering the dongle has a DAC in it
Every USB-C to 3.5mm dongle has a DAC built in.. that's how they work. But it doesn't mean it will be a good DAC.. and besides, you can't charge you're phone and use traditional headphones simultaneously..

I can't wait till someone tests this headphones.
Piyath Alawatte I would be fine with it if they put an extra USB C port on the top so you could charge it while using your earphones.
Would be perfect with front facing speakers.
Kyle Netherwood and a headphone jack
alexdiezg Very true. I missed that.
Kyle Netherwood I agree. When I lay down and rest the U11 phone on my belly the speaker on bottom is blocked, unlike my old M8.
better than LG g6 & sg s8 , pre ordered already !
#sense #camera #sounds #durability #hardware #U_SonicHeadphone 👍
Surprised at the positivity of this 24hr review...No headphone jack, ancient UI, no front facing speakers (anymore), bloat...I thought Jaime would burn this phone
Nice video.. plz tell me what is this watch you are wearing in this video..looks pretty dope inmo
looking really good HTC
Squeeze for the headphone jack to appear.
Ezaya Kashiwazaki go up
Ezaya Kashiwazaki LOL
Actually, HTC squeezed it away.
I'm squeezing it, I'm squeezing. Hey, I squeezed so hard the headphone jack went into my hand.
Ezaya Kashiwazaki I squeezed it and it popped out like a black head. 😢😢😢
Can the back button be relocated or is it a fixed position soft touch?
sabia que eras Hondureño al ver Tigo shop . que genial ver tus reviews , llevo años viendo muchas de las que haces. un saludo desde San Pedro Sula capo!
Deciding between U Ultra and U11?
Secondary display vs Edge Sense
Just helping
Will a case cause problems with the "squeezing" functions?
what color is this? I love this particular color
Even that i don't find this device like a big "WOW" but at least HTC is trying to go on, impruve their devices and bring some cool new innovaions. This is something that Apple has stoped to do like years ago.
So HTC deserved credit for that one.
bring back the dot view case!
The only drawback is that it only suppor FullHD 30fps video recording instead of 60fps as all the other flagship have.
Just curious will the software be upgraded and support FullHD 60fps video recording later??
RhinoShield Crashguard Bumper case for the HTC U11 would be bang tidy.
Love HTC U11.
I have one question ... Do all HTC U11 have 2 sim places or not?
If only this phone had a headphone jack....
Jack Stavris only if this phone had an all aluminum body like but I will still buy it
Farid Amin case
Coming from an iPhone 7, I promise you it's not that big of a deal. Just leave the adapter on the headphones you use the most and you're good
Nah, fuck adapters. What would I do if I need to charge my phone and use headphones? I'd have to a) buy a second adapter to use both or b) give up my dank Sennheiser headphones to use wireless ones. I'm not willing to do either so a headphone jack is a must.
Jack Stavris how often is your phone not charged? I thought it would be an issue for me too but it's not that often that I need I need to use both my headphones and my charger and I use my phone a lot
I remember back when I had a One m7 there was an option to disable Blinkfeed, is this still present here? considering this phone but hate Blinkfeed.
I'm watching this on my htc 10
Will US version have dual sim?
front speakers ?
hello, excuse me i noticed that you have the 2pzc300, is there a version of that with 128 gb of storage and 6 gigs of RAM, also... does this works with at&t lte band 4? thanks!
Dan
+Pocketnow where did you get that slip case which you are using with the u11
Loved the intro! :D
Blinkfeed *was* my favorite feature.
I'm still waiting on a Sony Xperia XZ Premium review from Pocketnow. HTC U11 seems to be a pretty solid phone anyway.
S8 vs HTC U11 vs LG G6 vs Xperia XZ Premium comparison would be nice to see.
Really dig that Space Balls shirt
Do you live in Roatan or just visiting? I once knew someone from there.
What is HTC's record with upgrading software ? I am considering this , the Pixel 2, whenever it comes out, or the Essential phone( I am not gonna bother with anything from Samsung,LG,Motorola or One+) I know the pixel will always get the newest software , I suspect , given the owner of the company , the Essential also will.

Space Balls: The Schwartz Awakens.
Best shirt ever!
I went for the u11 over the s8 !!
phone of the year 2017!
Lee Michael wait for the iPhone 8
Unscripted Xeno wait for the note 8
iPhone 8 is going to be hilarious i can't wait
Shikhar Lamba from a long time Samsung user, S3, S4, S7, Note 4,the HTC U11 is one sweet device, my first Android phone was the HTC Incredible, in regards to the Note 8, no thank you, it will have that idiotic curved glass screen and it will be 6.3"-6.4" which is a ridiculous size for a phone.
Lee Michael wise choice !!!!!!!
this is already going to be my daily driver for a while. only device that may make me switch will be the Pixel 2. besides that HTC stepped it up every department. the UI has been the same for a while but then again there's not a lot wrong with it.
should I get this or keep my HTC 10 🤔
Carrier exclusivity in the states is going to kill this phone, would've loved to pick one up on tmobile
Glad I bought the S8+.
HTC U11
11 hours ago
what a coincidence!
All I won't to know is how's the audio with the USB-C to headphone jack dongle on the U11 is vs the mighty htc10 headphone jack with headphones? I love the sound quality of the 10, if the U11 is as good I'm getting one
I have never needed to charge my phone while listening to music and I have had my phone for two years
Rip headphone jack again
Please tell me the call quality is at least decent and not that bad. Can you be more specific about the call quality?
So exactly how many sessions do you need for the review of the phone? One for unboxing, one for one-day impression, one for audio, one for camera, what else?
I'm still waiting for your Xperia XZ Premium review!
Damn, I would've put the case on straight out of the box because I am so insecure.
if they had only put a bigger battery on this i would have bought it without thinking twice...
pocketnow without Michael Fisher is just... Other tech TH-cam channel
Pocketnow is the best!
I love my HTC One M8, but wouldn't mind a dual sim HTC U11.
I don't know why but the blue one is ugly for me, but the orange/pink one is pretty. :) Nice review btw
A good use of space this is
htc bragged that all U11s have 2.1 memory, but is it true that U11 has LPDDR4x ram and what does it mean compare standard 4 in S8? I saw some comments but I am not familiar with 4x.... edge sense feature is really useful, it's strange noone ever before included this handy thing.
I hope they release a Windows version like they did with the m8. The design's a bit bland but it looks so well put together
It's htc year
5 minutes Interections Lol and the major phones haven't appeared yet. Note 8 will take the crown without a doubt. Its always Samsung year for Android World.
J Chris Tmg samsung's year? eww
Harsh reality but yes. Samsung sells over 300 million phones every year. Even the flagships from Samsung gets sold over 50M units every single year. Can the same be said for hTc or any other Android smartphone company? Hence its always Samsung's year.
J Chris Tmg eww a samsung fanboy eww cheap plastic eww
Plastic? Okay get out of 2013 year and step into 2017 first and then we will talk.
I am confused between U11 & Samsung Galaxy S8.
I am more of a camera and music guy.
Bezels I don't care.
Could you please do a full review of camera comparison between the two.
Shis Chougule I have no review for you but if where you I would wait till the U11 camera reviews are out. Then I would compare it to the S8 and see which one I prefer the most.

Hope this helps!
alexdiezg Thank you so very much for the guidance.
Shis Chougule HTC u11
Ragheid Tahan cheers 👍👍
Shis Chougule S8 software sucks
HTC going all in with the marketing on TH-cam. HTC 10 had similar reviews, no one bought it though lol
what about battery life ?
A phone that feels like if it were fully made of glass? JUST LIKE the Galaxy Note 7 and the Galaxy S8.
Love the shirt bro!
love HTC u 11 the best
i didnt like the glossy glass back on the samsung s models but this htc is just over the top. while it looks good from an aesthetic view, it's something i would never ever use as my daily driver.
really debating if I want to get the u11 over the S8 now... not sure yet :(
Wesley Ramos yeah I might stick with the s8, I love a lot of things it has
Sacred I'm the same way with LG G6, but both the G6 and s8 give you some more lifestyle features, like higher ip wireless charging (in US), quality headphone jacks (important for me personally) and I've been driving especially deep into looking up camera samples and so far all three are very close to one another
Beside the display of the s8, u11 is superior, it has better camera, speakers, it has a way better performance and it doesn't lagg after a year like most of the samsung phones, and the u11 also has squeeze and it has a better os(sense), which looks nicer than the new touchwizz, also you will not miss the wireless charging, which is a useless feature if there's fast charge in a phone, and that ip68 water resistance over ip67 doesn't mean much, only minor difference. If you want a phone and not a jewelry(s8) then you should be more than happy to get the new htc
Samsung has a great reputation for not being durable in terms of softvare, and u11's camera was rated as the best smartphone camera at DXO, if you don't trust that you can watch camera comparisons yourself or wait for Pocketnow to upload one, and for the rest, the plus features on the u11 makes it outstanding, like the superior speakers and performance, which i mentioned, and on geekbench both of them score nearly the same, but optimization means more than raw numbers, as you can see that the loading time for apps and games on u11 will be faster, but samsung was never the fastest to say the least, iphones were (because of the good optimization which i talkes about). So my point is that, which do you prefer, a better looking phone(s8), or a better phone itself(u11)?
Sacred the U 11 has my vote for it's great camera, true 5.5 inch display, and audio experience. The Edge Sense is icing on the cake.
DO A 24 HOURS WITH THE P10!

Real camera review for U11 when?
Any chance that you'll do a Xperia XZ Premium review?
Just so I can confirm that Sony is still a thing for PocketNow.
Trying to confirm: no NFC or wireless charging?
Forcing audio over USB-C would be easier to stomach with wireless charging.
just review the xz premium! and you will surprised , its such an awesome phone :) keeping the design aspect of the front side aside , everything about the sony is banger this time :)
No headphone jack: 99% of my audio gadgets is useless except the Bluetooth earbud.
Yes but can we see it in black please? That chrome look is actually A.I.D.S. I hurts to look at it
No compromises? There's a 3000mAh battery there dude, in a phone that's as thick as a Mate9. Also, no headphone jack, probably to make room to that enormous battery.
