Regardless of the recent deal between HTC and Google, HTC
seems to be very much in the smartphone making business, what with rumored 3 phones said to be in the works and to be released before year’s end.
That aside, per rumors emanating
from France, first in line of said 3 being the HTC U11 Plus slated for a November
release, and the best part is, it is getting with the current smartphone trend
and going bezel free. About damn time
HTC!!
Allegedly being developed under code name the Ocean Master,
should the rumors turn out to be true, will be the first HTC handset to adopt
the 18:9 aspect ratio display with little or no bezels.
The HTC U11 Plus (Ocean Master has a nicer ring to it) will
have a 5.99-inch panel with 1,440x2, 880 resolution. The phone will be powered
by the Snapdragon 835 and have 2 variants. A 4GB RAM/64GB expandable storage or
6GB RAM/128GB storage.
As far as cameras go, it will feature the same as the HTC
U11 i.e. a 12 MP main back camera and an 8 MP on the front for the selfie
enthusiasts. The U11 Plus will have IP68 certified water and dust resistance,
support for Qualcomm QuickCharge 3.0 (up to 18W). Sadly, like the U11, there is
no mention of wireless charging capabilities or a 3.5mm port (guess the powers
that be over at HTC have their minds made up as far as that port goes). It does
have that famous squeezable frame that enables the Edge Sense feature though.
The U11 Plus Ocean Master is slated for a November 11
release in China.
