HTC U11 EYEs With Dual Front Cameras Launched

After leaking the device in its entirety on its own official website, HTC has launched the HTC U11 EYEs in Taiwan and China at a price of CNY 3299 (Rs. 32,000 approx.). The device will go on sale from the 25th of January with pre-orders starting today. Back in November, HTC gave in to the industry trend of no headphone jack and thin bezels with the HTC U11+ and now, the HTC U11 EYEs has a face unlock feature.

As expected the HTC U11 EYEs has a 6 inch Super LCD3 display with a 2160 x 1080 px resolution.

Under the hood, the U11 EYEs is powered by the Snapdragon 652 chipset, along with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of expandable storage. The fingerprint sensor is placed on the back of the phone as it has thin bezels around the display. The smartphone also has an IP67 rating for water and dust resistance.

The smartphone also has the largest ever battery found on an HTC device with a massive 3930 mAh capacity which charges via a USB C port. The smartphone will run Android 8.0 Oreo out of the box with HTC’s own Sense UI on top.

Available in three colours

Like a lot of smartphones from HTC, it has the Edge Sense technology which allows users to squeeze the frame of the phone to launch a particular app or action. This feature can be customised to launch a specific action while inside a certain app.

The HTC U11 EYEs has a 12MP “UltraPixel 3” primary camera with an f/1.7 aperture, OIS and “UltraSpeed” autofocus. HTC has revealed a DxOMark score of 90, which is exactly the same as what the HTC U11 received, which probably means that it is the same camera. To the front is a dual 5MP camera setup which will work together to create a bokeh effect. The dual-camera setup also supports Portrait Mode and AR Snapchat-like stickers.

the HTC U11 EYEs might not make its way to India, especially considering that the previous two devices from HTC never saw the light of day in the Indian market. However, if HTC does plan to launch it in India, it will have to priced much lower than Rs. 32000 to stand any chance in the competitive mid-range segment.

HTC U11 EYEs Specs Leaked On HTC’s Official Website

Smartphone launches nowadays are hardly met with surprise, since a lot of the main specifications and features are leaked way before the official launch. But, while most of these leaks are courtesy of tipsters and renders, sometimes, the smartphone maker itself leaks some important features. HTC has done exactly in the case of the HTC U11 EYEs. The smartphone is scheduled to be launched later in the day but, all the key details of the phone have been revealed via the official HTC website.

Through a comprehensive leak by a famous tipster on Twitter, we already knew that the smartphone will have a 6-inch Super LCD3 display with a 2160 x 1080 px resolution.

Under the hood, the U11 EYEs will be powered by the Snapdragon 652 chipset, along with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of expandable storage. The fingerprint sensor will be placed on the back of the phone and it will be IP67 certified for water and dist resistance.

The smartphone will be powered by a 3930mAh battery with QuickCharge support via a USB C port. Surprisingly, the device will run Android 7 Nougat out of the box even though Android 8 Oreo was launched back in August of 2017.

The HTC U11 EYEs will have a 12MP “UltraPixel 3” primary camera with OIS and “UltraSpeed” autofocus. HTC has revealed a DxOMark score of 90, which is exactly the same as what the HTC U11 received, which probably means that it is the same camera. To the front is a dual 5MP camera setup which will work together to create a bokeh effect.

The HTC U11 EYEs will be launched in China and according to the company’s recent launch tactics, it probably won’t make its way to India. It will be priced at CNY 3299 in China which roughly translates to about Rs. 32000 in India.

HTC U11 EYEs To Launch On 15th January

HTC has confirmed what was being rumoured for a while now. The company will continue to diversify its HTC U11 moniker with a new mid-range smartphone, the HTC U11 EYEs. The company posted an invite on its Weibo account confirming that the U11 EYEs is real and will be launched soon.

In the image, the date mentioned is 15th January but, doesn’t mention the name of the device. However, in the accompanying post, it does mention ‘Eye,’ effectively confirming that the HTC U11 EYEs will be the centre of attention at the event. It looks like HTC wanted its VR products to be the highlight of its CES 2018 stint and that is why decided to unveil the new smartphone at a separate event.

The HTC U11 EYEs was leaked a few weeks ago by a popular leakster on Twitter. According to the leaks, the smartphone will have a 5.99 inch LCD3 display with a 2160 x 1080 px resolution.

Under the hood, it is expected to have the Qualcomm Snapdragon 652 chipset, 4GB of RAM and 64GB of onboard storage which will be expandable up to 256GB via microSD card. Due to the thin bezels, the fingerprint sensor will be placed on the back of the phone since we are a few months away from using in-display fingerprint sensors on a majority of phones.

The HTC U11 EYEs will also have an IP67 rating for water and dust resistance along with HTC Sense feature which allows users to squeeze the frame of the device to launch a particular app or action. The surprising bit about the smartphone is also the software, as it appears that the HTC U11 EYEs will run Android 7.1 Nougat out of the box, even though the HTC U11+ and U11 Life were launched with Android 8 Oreo out of the box.

The smartphone will be powered by a 3930 mAh battery which will charge via a USB Type C port.

Similar to the recently Samsung Galaxy A8+, the HTC U11 EYEs will have a dual 5MP camera set up along with a 12MP primary camera.

The HTC U11 EYEs may not make its way to the Indian shores as HTC has not launched a smartphone after the HTC U11 in India. The U11+ and U11 Life are yet to be announced in India and the U11 EYEs might be treated the same way by the Taiwanese tech giant.
