As one who was excited for the 2 XL but am disappointed by it's issues, I'm now sweating the U11+. That huge battery and BoomSound audio has me excited. It may just be a worthy upgrade over my still humming along 6P.

Looks like they pulled it....

What'd they say about the speakers?

 

[anon(5506951)]

What'd they say about the speakers?

I'm assuming it'll have improved BoomSound audio, which I'm hyped about. Even without dual front-firing speakers, the most budget smartphone in HTC's lineup that is equipped with BoomSound and a headset sounds fantastic to my ears.

 

[freddyttt]

What'd they say about the speakers?

No mention about boomsound but they did mention the Dac and outstading sound. honestly i figured all hope was lost on my yearly upgrade. then i read this review..... my fingers are crossed.

 

[Eggmundo]

Phone of the year I reckon.

 

[LonestarROB]

Somebody had to have been able to grab that video before it was taken down.

 

[sunrat39]

C'mon HTC!!

I hope it has...

FULL Verizon compatibility
High quality DAC
Boomsound
Great front and rear cameras
High quality audio recording

I need something to replace my V20!

 

[jdunker26]

Not available in the US. Imagine that!! I was going to be an HTC customer again.

Yet again, with such a strong market in North America, HTC keeps their best phone out of reach of their loyal customers. Here's my money....well?

 

[LonestarROB]

Seriously like wth?!? Could have been the "best" phone this year and they won't release in the States?

It is a beast of a phone that's for sure.

Google doesn't want it competing with the Pixel 2 and XL. Just a guess on my part, but why else wouldn't they sell it here?

Huh? Wouldn't by that logic mean google doesn't want the V30 to compete either ?

 

[liscon17]

You guys in America complain that they're not bringing the phone to the states but if they aren't selling handsets in good enough quantities then why should they bother?

At the end of the day they're a business (and a declining one at that) and if the predicted earnings are poor then who can blame them. Your carriers should be the ones to blame as their stranglehold on the handset market is what is killing these types of companies off.

You can say 'well why didnt they get a carrier deal, that would have sold devices' but setting up deals costs cash, one which HTC does not have a lot of.

(n.b. yes I am aware of the recent aqusistion of talent going to Google which has injected cash into the company however this deal would have been done far too late to have any effect on the U11+).

All I can say is that HTC are making sure they are catering to those who actually buy their phones and are able to sell the device with the least amount of hoops to jump through which they are well within their rights to do.

Hopefully they are able to negotiate deals for the U12 or whatever the 2018 flagship is called on the carrier side but if you're desperate you are always able to import the phone from the UK or other countries....we do live in a global market.
