Nash Tee Tech Vlog: HTC

Showing posts with label HTC. Show all posts

As 2017 ends, HTC is not done yet churning quality smartphones. And with the arrival of the U11+, HTC may have launched its best smartphone to date. Almost the same size as its predecessor the HTC U11+ came with all the bells and whistles that the U11 arrived with - squeezable sides (Edge Sense) and sleek body. But this time around, the U11+ comes with a larger battery, a unique translucent design, a higher ingress protection rating (IP68 dust and water resistance), and a larger screen sporting the increasingly popular 18:9 screen aspect ratio.

The HTC U11+ packs a 6-inch Super LCD6 screen with DCI-P3 and HDR10 support, protected by Gorilla Glass 5. Ticking inside is an octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 SoC with 4GB/6GB RAM and 64GB/128GB of expandable storage. Its battery capacity does not disappoint either at 3,930 mAh, which supports Qualcomm QuickCharge 3.0. It runs Android 8.0 Oreo out of the box with HTC Sense on top. Other features include BoomSound speakers that are 30% louder. Unfortunately, there is still no 3.5 mm headphone jack here. Good thing is that HTC bundled it with active noise-cancelling earphones. The HTC U11+ also has a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner.

Imaging-wise, the U11+ sports a single 12-MP primary camera with an f/1.7 aperture, optical image stabilization (OIS), 1.4 micron pixels, phase detection auto-focus, and dual-tone dual-LED flash. There's also an 8-MP front-facing camera with HDR tricks on board. The U11+ will come in three colors: Ceramic Black, Amazing Silver, and Translucent Black. It will retail for £699 in the UK and 799 Euros across Europe. Sadly, it won't officially reach the US shores.

Then we have the HTC U11 Life, which looks more similar to the original U11. It has a 5.2-inch Super LCD screen of 1080p Full HD resolution. It is powered by an octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 630 chipset with 3GB/4GB RAM and 32GB/64GB of expandable storage. It will run Android 7.1 Nougat out of the box with the latest HTC Sense on top in the US (with a promised Android 8.0 Oreo update within 30 days). On the other hand, the U11 Life will ship with Android 8.0 Oreo (Android One) in Europe. When it comes to shooting lenses, the U11 Life sports a 16-MP primary camera with an f/2.0 aperture, phase detection auto-focus, and an LED flash. Another 16-MP shooter can be found in front on the device. Its other features include Edge Sense, IP67 rating for dust and water resistance, and a front-mounted fingerprint scanner. HTC has also bundled USonic headphones with the U11 Life, which sadly lacks a 3.5 mm headphone jack. Retailing for $349, the U11 Life will come in Brilliant Black, Sapphire Blue, and Ice White color variants.

Almost all major Android handset manufacturers have launched their flagships for 2017 - except for HTC. That day has come. Meet the HTC U11. Covered in glass panels seamlessly attached to a metal frame, the U11 measures 153.9 mm x 75.9 mm x 7.9 mm and weighs 169 grams, which is quite hefty. It packs a 5.5-inch Super LCD 5 of Quad HD resolution, protected by Gorilla Glass 5. It has the same screen-to-body ratio similar to that of the HTC 10, which is not necessarily impressive. It also has a more traditional 16:9 screen aspect ratio. The HTC U11, however, is IP67-certified, making it somehow water and dust resistant. Also, a fingerprint scanner is embedded in the home button.

Image by HTC

Under the hood is the latest octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 chipset with 4GB RAM and 64GB of expandable storage. In some Asian markets, it will come with 6GB RAM and 128GB of expandable storage. It runs Android 7.0 Nougat with the latest Sense UI on top but comes with a less than stellar 3,000 mAh non-removable battery, at least on paper. The battery supports Quick Charge 3.0 and comes with two power saving modes. Its most standout feature is the Edge Sense, which lets you squeeze the sides of the phone in order to execute specific actions. There is also the Sense Companion, which will give suggestions depending on what you do and how you use your smartphone. Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa could also be part of the package depending on where you live.

When it comes to photography, the HTC U11 sports a 12-MP UltraPixel primary camera with Dual Pixel technology, an f/1.7 aperture, 1.4 micron pixel size, optical image stabilization (OIS), dual-LED flash, and 4K video recording capability, including 3D audio and slow motion video in 1080p Full HD at 120 frames per second. The setup is similar to those of the Galaxy S7 and S8 family. The U11's front-facing camera comes in at 16-MP with an f/1.7 aperture and selfie panorama mode. Like all HTC flagships, the U11 comes with BoomSound Hi-Fi Edition, making the device Hi-Res Audio certified. It also has four microphones. Connectivity-wise, the HTC U11 supports USB Type-C, Bluetooth 4.2, Wi-Fi, NFC, GPS with GLONASS and Beidou, dual-SIM support (in some regions), and LTE. Sadly, the 3.5 mm headset jack is gone.

Image by HTC

The HTC U11 will be available in Amazing Silver, Sapphire Blue, Brilliant Black, Ice White, and Solar Red color variants. They will go on sale on May 2017, which is expected to cost about €749/£649/$649. Expect the U11 to be shipped in early June 2017.

In Taiwan, HTC announced two new smartphones - the interesting metal-clad U Ultra and the U Play. The HTC U Ultra packs a secondary 2-inch display on top of its main 5.7-inch Super LCD 5 of Quad HD resolution. The second screen will be able to display relevant notifications and alerts, along with app shortcuts and weather information, with the help of artificial intelligence (HTC Sense Companion). The display is protected by either Gorilla Glas 5 or a sapphire glass. Ticking inside the U Ultra is a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 821 chipset with 4GB RAM and 64GB/128GB of expandable internal storage (up to 2TB). It runs Android 7.0 Nougat out of the box with the latest HTC Sense UI on top.

Photography-wise, the HTC U Ultra sports a 12-MP UltraPixel main camera with an f/1.8 aperture, phase detection auto-focus, laser auto-focus, and optical image stabilization (OIS) plus a 16-MP wide-angle selfie camera. Keeping up with the recent trend in smartphones, the U Ultra comes with a USB Type-C port and has abandoned the 3.5 mm headphone jack. It also has 4 microphones for hi-res audio and 3D audio capture. A fingerprint scanner is embedded in the home button. A rather small 3,000 mAh battery will keep its lights on. The U Ultra features a highly reflective glass back with vivid colors. It will come in blue, pink, white, and black variants. Priced at $749, the U Ultra is now pre-selling and will ship end of January 2017 in Taiwan and March 2017 for the rest of the world.

Then there's the HTC U Play. It's basically a smaller version of the U Ultra sans the secondary display. The U Play comes with a 5.2-inch display of 1080p Full HD resolution. Under the hood is an octa-core MediaTek Helio P10 chipset with 3GB/4GB RAM and 32GB/64GB of expandable internal storage. Sadly, the U Play will ship only with Android Marshmallow, but will be updated to Nougat shortly. Camera-wise, HTC ditches the UltraPixel branding and slapped the U Ultra with a regular 16-MP camera with an f/2.0 aperture and an LED flash. Aside from a smaller 2,500 mAh battery, not much has been revealed about the HTC U Play. Information about pricing and availability could be out soon.

Two new HTC midrange smartphones have been unveiled - the Desire 10 Pro and the Desire 10 Lifestyle. Both smartphones do away with onscreen buttons and navigation can be done through the bottom bezel. Between the two, the Desire 10 Pro is more capable as it comes with a 5.5-inch IPS display of 1080p Full HD resolution, covered by a layer of Gorilla Glass. Ticking inside is an octa-core MediaTek Helio P10 chipset with 4GB RAM and 64GB of expandable internal storage. It runs Android 6.0 Marshmallow out of the box with HTC Sense on top.

Image by HTC

When it comes to photography, the HTC Desire 10 Pro sports a 20-MP primary camera with an f/2.2 aperture, laser auto-focus and dual-LED flash. In front, a 13-MP selfie camera can be found. Connectivity-wise, the phablet supports Cat. 6 LTE, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NFC, GPS, a 3.5 mm headphone jack and a microUSB 2.0 port. It also has a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner. A 3,000 mAh battery will keep its lights on.

Image by HTC

Then we have the HTC Desire 10 Lifestyle, which looks very much like the Desire 10 Pro. It has a 5.5-inch display of just 720p HD resolution. It also has a dated chipset - Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 with 2GB/3GB RAM and 16GB/32GB of expandable internal storage. It has a 13-MP primary camera with LED flash and a 5-MP front-facing snapper. Connectivity-wise, it's basically the same of those of the Desire 10 Pro but LTE is only Cat. 4. The Desire 10 Lifestyle also does not have a fingerprint scanner. Running Android 6.0 Marshmallow with HTC Sense on top, the lower midrange phablet is powered by a rather small 2,700 mAh battery. Both HTC smartphones will come in several color options: Stone Black, Polar White, Royal Blue,and Valentina Flux. Both are also expected to roll out next month.

HTC took the wraps off what seems a successor to the One A9 smartphone. Called the HTC One A9s, one would expect it to be at least more powerful than its predecessor. However, HTC took a different route and made the One A9s a more affordable version of the metal-clad One A9. The HTC One A9s packs a 5-inch LCD of 720p HD resolution, protected by a Gorilla Glass. Ticking inside is an octa-core MediaTek Helio P10 processor with 2GB/3GB RAM and 16GB/32GB of expandable internal storage. It has a 13-MP primary camera with LED flash and a 5-MP front-facing shooter.

Image by HTC

Connectivity options include Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NFC, GPS and LTE support. It also comes with a fingerprint scanner embedded in the home button. A rather modest 2,300 mAh battery will keep its lights on. It runs Android 6.0 Marshmallow with the latest Sense UI on top. HTC plans to sell it for about $350, which is still quite pricey for the specs it offers.

HTC has launched the successor to the Desire 820. Meet the HTC Desire 830, which debuted in Taiwan, looking very similar to its predecessor with a number of incremental upgrades to its hardware. Still sporting a plastic build, the Desire 830 measures 157.5 mm x 78.9 mm x 7.79 mm and comes with front-firing BoomSound speakers. It packs the same 5.5-inch LCD panel with a bumped up 1080p Full HD resolution.

Image by HTC

Under the hood is an octa-core MediaTek Helio X10 chipset with 3GB RAM and 32GB of expandable internal storage. In the photography department, the Desire 830 features a 13-MP primary camera with an f/2.0 aperture, OIS, and an LED flash. Meanwhile, a 4-MP UltraPixel camera with an f/2.0 aperture can be found in front. A modest 2,800 mAh battery will keep the phablet's lights on. The HTC Desire 830 will retail for about $310 but there's no word yet on international availability.

For those who cannot afford the gorgeous HTC 10 or miss the One M series design language, well you might want to take a look at the HTC One S9. It basically brings back the iconic metal design of the One M9 but in a more affordable package. The One S9 packs a 5-inch Super LCD of 1080p Full HD resolution. Under the hood is an octa-core MediaTek Helio X10 chipset with 2GB RAM and 16GB of expandable storage. It runs Android 6.0 Marshmallow out of the box with the latest Sense UI on top.

Image by HTC

In the camera department, the HTC One S9 shines with a 13-MP optically stabilized primary camera with an f/2.0 aperture and dual-tone, dual-LED flash. A 4-MP UltraPixel camera with 2 micron pixels can be found in front. Like the One M9, the One S9 also comes with dual front-facing speakers. A 2,840 mAh battery will keep its lights on.

The HTC One S9 will retail for 500 euros in the European market, specifically Germany. There's no word yet if it will reach other regions.

After countless leaks, the HTC 10 has gone official. It is the first time HTC drops the "One" and "M" monikers for its flagship smartphone. Despite the new naming convention, the HTC 10 is as premium as any top of the line smartphone can get. For starters, the HTC 10 is clad in aluminum with a curved Gorilla Glass front panel and a signature chamfered frame. It packs a 5.2-inch Super LCD 5 display of Quad HD resolution. That translates to a pixel density of 576 pixels per inch and a high screen-to-body ratio of 71.13%. While seemingly missing at first, the HTC 10 does come with two BoomSound speakers (woofer and tweeter) with Dolby Audio support and 3 noise-cancelling microphones.

Image by HTC

Like other flagship smartphones of 2016, the HTC 10 is powered by a 64-bit quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 chipset (at least for the US market) with 4GB RAM and 32GB/64GB of expandable internal storage. It runs Android 6.0 Marshmallow with HTC Sense 8 UI on top. Connectivity-wise, the HTC 10 supports Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, LTE-A, and USB Type-C. A fingerprint scanner is also embedded under the home button. A 3,000 mAh non-removable battery will keep its lights on and it can be charged up to 50% in 30 minutes, courtesy of Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0.

Image by HTC

Here is where things get interesting. The HTC 10 sports a brand new 12-MP second generation UltraPixel rear camera with 1.55 micron pixels, a bright f/1.8 aperture, laser auto-focus, optical image stabilization (OIS), and dual-tone, dual-LED flash. The main camera also supports 12-bit RAW capture, 4K video recording, slow-motion video capture, auto-HDR, hi-res audio, a Pro camera mode, Zoe Capture (similar to Apple's Live Photos and Samsung's Motion Photo), hyper-lapse and time-lapse video recording, among others. Meanwhile, its 5-MP front-facing snapper has an ultra wide-angle lens with 1.34 micron pixels, an f/1.7 aperture, and OIS.

Image by HTC

So far, all these features make the HTC 10 a very capable and powerful smartphone but how does it stack up against the competition - mainly the Samsung Galaxy S7 and LG G5. Both the Galaxy S7 and the G5 have an Always-On Display, which may or may not be important to the user. The Galaxy S7, in particular, has an IP68 certification for water and dust resistance, a heart-rate monitor, supports wireless charging and Samsung Pay. On the other hand, the G5 has a removable battery, higher mega-pixel rear and front cameras, and LG Friends. The HTC 10 differentiates itself through its BoomSound speakers and front camera with OIS.

Image by HTC

The HTC 10 will come in four color options: Carbon Grey, Glacier Silver, Topaz Gold, and Camellia Red. The unlocked 32GB version will retail for $699 and will start shipping in early May 2016. Pre-orders have already started today. Are you getting one?

The One A9 is the latest premium-looking smartphone from HTC but is actually a midrange device. It has an all-metal build, measuring 145.75 mm x 70.8 mm x 7.26 mm and weighing 142 grams. It comes with a 5-inch AMOLED display of 1080p Full HD resolution, protected by 2.5D Gorilla Glass 4. It has a screen pixel density of 440 ppi. At first look, the HTC One A9 does resemble the iPhone 6/6s. Interestingly, it is marketed by HTC as the perfect alternative to the iPhone.

Ticking inside the HTC One A9 is a 64-bit octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 617 chipset with 2GB/3GB RAM and 16GB/32GB of expandable internal storage. On the software side, it is one of the first few smartphones to run Android 6.0 Marshmallow out of the box with the latest Sense UI on top. Along with signature HTC features like BoomSound, Zoe, and the like, the One A9 will also have Android Marshmallow-specific features like granular app permissions, native fingerprint support, Google Now on Tap, and Doze Mode. HTC has also promised that unlocked One A9 phones will receive Android updates within 15 days of official Nexus device updates.

Image by HTC

In terms of imaging, the HTC One A9 comes with a 13-MP primary camera with OIS, manual mode, RAW capture, and an LED flash. An UltraPixel (4-MP) unit can be found in front of the device, which is perfect for low-light selfies and video calls. Its video recording capabilities, however, max out at 1080p Full HD quality. Connectivity-wise, the One A9 comes with Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, GPS, GLONASS, and LTE-A support. It's 2,150 mAh non-removable battery also supports fast charging. Unlike previous HTC midrange and flagship devices, the One A9 does not sport dual front-firing stereo speakers but still comes with BoomSound tech and Dolby Audio surround tech.

The HTC One A9 will come in a variety of colors and will sell at different price points (depending on the storage). For a limited time only, the entry-level model will retail for $399.99. Customers who purchase their One A9 from HTC's website will also get 1-year protection under its UH OH program. A 6-month Google Play Music subscription is also in tow. There are also a bunch of official accessories available for the HTC One A9. Any buyers?

HTC just refreshed its lineup of affordable Desire smartphones in the United States. They include the Desire 626, which was previously launched in China, the Desire 626s, the Desire 526, and the Desire 520. All four smartphones are powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 210 chipset with Adreno 304 GPU, comes with an 8-MP rear camera capable of recording 720p HD videos, supports LTE, packs a 2,000 mAh battery, and runs Android 5.1 Lollipop with the latest HTC Sense UI on top (complete with BlinkFeed and HTC Themes).

Image by HTC

The HTC Desire 626 has the best specs among the four smartphones as it comes with a 5-inch display of 720p HD resolution, 1.5GB RAM, 16GB of expandable internal storage, and a 5-MP front-facing camera. While the Desire 626s looks similar on the outside, it only has 1GB RAM, 8GB of expandable internal storage, and a 2-MP front-facing shooter.

Image by HTC

Meanwhile, the HTC Desire 526 packs a smaller 4.7-inch display of qHD (960 x 540 pixels) resolution but matches the 1.5GB RAM of the Desire 626. It has a more limited 8GB of internal storage, which can be expanded via a microSD card. Its front-facing camera tops out at 2-MP.

HTC has unveiled another high-end smartphone in China. It's called the One ME, which happens to be the first device to be powered by the 64-bit octa-core MediaTek's Helio X10 processor clocked at 2.2GHz. Design-wise, it looks like a cross between the One E9+ and the One M9+. But unlike the One M9, it's body is made of polycarbonate reinforced by a metal frame.

Image by HTC

Like some high-end HTC smartphones, the One ME packs a 5.2-inch LCD of Quad HD resolution. The smartphone also features 3GB RAM, 32GB of expandable native storage, and a 2,840 mAh battery. It is also equipped with a fingerprint sensor, BoomSound speakers with Dolby Surround sound, NFC, LTE, and dual-SIM connectivity.

HTC has introduced two new dual-SIM Android smartphones in Taiwan: the Desire 820G+ and the Desire 626G+. Both smartphones have very similar specifications with a few differences. The Desire 820G+ will retail for $194 while the Desire 626G+ will cost $162.

Image by GSMArena

The HTC Desire 820G+ is the larger of the two, packing a 5.5-inch display of 720p HD resolution, which effectively makes it a phablet. It is powered by a 1.7GHz octa-core MediaTek MT6592 processor with 1GB RAM and 8GB of expandable native storage. There is a 13-MP rear camera with LED flash and an 8-MP front-facing shooter. The Desire 820G+ runs Android KitKat 4.4.2 with the Sense UI 6.0 on top. It also features BoomSound speakers and a 2,600 mAh battery.

Image by GSMArena

Meanwhile, HTC Desire 626G+ is more compact with a 5-inch display of 720p HD resolution. It sports the same 1.7GHz octa-core MediaTek MT6592 processor with 1GB RAM and 8GB of expandable native storage. It retains the 13-MP rear camera with LED flash of its bigger sibling but the front camera is reduced to 5-MP. Despite being smaller, it still has the same 2,600 mAh battery. The Desire 626G+ runs Android KitKat 4.4.2 with the Sense UI 6.0 on top.

Within a month of the One M9 and One E9+'s announcement, HTC seems to have backtracked and subsequently released the One M8s. This new smartphone is basically identical to the One M8 sans the latter's UltraPixel rear camera and Snapdragon 801 chipset. Instead, the HTC One M8s comes with a more capable 13-MP f/2.0 main camera with dual rear camera setup and a 64-bit Snapdragon 615 chipset. Its battery capacity has also been slightly increased to 2,840 mAh.

Image by PhoneArena

Other than those mentioned above, the HTC One M8s measures and weighs almost exactly the same as the One M8: 146.36 mm x 70.6 mm x 9.55 mm and 160 grams. It also comes with the same 5-inch IPS LCD of 1080p Full HD resolution. There's 2GB RAM, 16GB of expandable internal storage and a 5-MP front-facing camera. It ships with Android 5.0 Lollipop with HTC Sense on top. The One M8s is expected to arrive in Europe for the price of £379.99 off-contract, which makes it more affordable than the One M9 and One E9+.

The HTC One E9+ goes official. It is successor to the One E8, which is basically a plastic-clad version of the One M8 smartphone. Interestingly, the One E9+ is not an exact replica of the One M9 that is just wrapped in glossy plastic. The former is actually better spec'd than the latter in some aspects. For instance, the HTC One E9+ comes with a 5.5-inch LCD of Quad HD resolution while the One M9's display maxes out at 1080p Full HD. Aside from the display and materials used, the One E9+ is powered by a MediaTek MT6795M chipset with a PowerVR G6200 GPU while th One M9 comes with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 chipset that is said to overheat with heavy use.

Image by PhoneArena

The rest of the specs of the HTC One E9+ is similar to that of the One M9, which includes 3GB RAM, 16GB of expandable internal storage, a 20-MP primary camera, a 4-MP UltraPixel front camera, and a 2,800 mAh battery. Also expected to launch with the One E9+ is the One E9, which has a lower but still great 1080p Full HD display, 2GB RAM, and a 16-MP primary camera.

HTC has joined the bandwagon and unveiled its first virtual reality headset called the RE Vive. This is HTC's take on the Samsung Gear VR and Google Cardboard. To come up with this VR headset, HTC has tied up with Taiwan-based maker Valve. The RE Vive headgear uses over 70 sensors and provides full, 360-degree room tracking. You can not only look around, but walk and experience the virtual plane, as well as interact "just like you do in the real world". The RE Vive offers a pretty nice 90 fps performance. The headgear comes with two separate VR controllers, functioning with a plethora of different "VR experiences".

Image by HTC

To make the RE Vive more useful, HTC has partnerned with a number of prominent game developers like Vertigo Games, Bossa, Barry –Fireproof, Dovetail Games, Wemo Labs, Google, Steel Wool Games and Owlchemy. Other popular partners are Google, HBO, Lionsgate, and the National Palace Museum in Taiwan, all of which will provide VR content for the HTC RE Vive.

After months of leaks, the much awaited sequel to the One M8 has arrived. Meet the HTC One M9, which comes with a premium dual-tone metal unibody design. It measures 144.6 mm x 69.7 mm x 9.61 mm, which is shorter and narrower than its predecessor but still bigger than other flagships with the same screen size. The only points that you can count against the One M9 is the non-removable battery cover, lack of optical image stabilization (OIS), and not opting for a Quad HD display. The latter is subject to discussion depending on one's needs and preferences.

The HTC One M9 comes with the same 5-inch Super LCD 3 panel of its predecessor, along with its 1080p Full HD resolution. Hardware-wise, a powerful octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 chipset is ticking inside it with 3GB DDR4 RAM and 32GB of internal storage, expandable with up to 128GB more via its microSD card slot. The HTC BoomSound stereo speakers are still present in front but this time HTC has equipped the amplified combo with full Dolby Audio 3 surround sound.

In the imaging department we see the best upgrade HTC could ever give to the One M9. The 4-MP UltraPixel camera of the One M8 has been move to the front of the One M9, which is perfect for selfies especially in low-light scenarios. The latter's primary camera is now a large 20-MP unit made by Toshiba. Its camera features backside illumination, real-time HDR support, and 1080p Full HD video recording with up to 90 fps, The camera unit comes with f/2.2 aperture, 26.8 mm lens equivalent, and is capable of 4K video recording too. Sadly, there is no OIS on board.

The HTC One M9 comes with the latest Android 5.0 Lollipop with the Sense 7 UI on top. The latter features flatter imagery, streamlined performance, and themes taken to the next level, letting you customize just about everything on the phone. The smartphone's connectivity options include an IR blaster, MHL 3.0 port, which will let you stream 4K footage to your TV, and LTE. The HTC One M9 is also equipped with a 2,840 mAh battery, which is bigger than that of its predecessor. The HTC smartphone also comes with a 1.5A charger, which should top the battery off pretty quickly.
