Opinions from real owners - HTC U11 Life Questions & Answers

Hello,
In the UK here and have the HTC u11 life on pre-order, I can see a few posts on here so can see that there are actually some people that own and have first hand experience of the phone. Im moving from a Nexus 5x so would be very interested at your thoughts about this phone ? Screen, speed, quality, are the bezels that big, etc etc. Anything u can tell me....
Also, One main question: does it have a notification LED ? I contacted HTC support and they have said, yes it does but I cannot see this in the specs or pics.
Many thanks for the info

Great phone for the price.
I have a T-Mobile version so it's not Android one software.
It has notification led. The phone is basically just like my 10 in size. The screen is only 1080p but it's great still.
Cameras are great. Battery and standby are great. It's a really great phone overall.

Thanks Bro

I literally just got back from T-Mobile to get the u11 Life. I set it up to my liking and everything is great so far. Touch response is great. Speed is great. I just wish it came with the USB-c to headphone adapter like most phones workout a headphone jack. But the free headphones are great.
Just having a little lag every so often with the finger print unlock.

I rebooted the phone and now the fp sensor works great. No complaints so far with this phone.

I've seen many reviews complaining about trouble with getting Edge Sense to register properly, but I've had no issues; I've actually found it to be very useful when using the short press for Google Assistant and the long press for the camera app. Can anyone confirm consistent issues with Edge Sense or a lack thereof; did the reviewers tend to roll poorly in the silicon lottery?

I have a U11 (Android One version, with 4 Gb RAM and 64 Gb storage) and everything works perfectly, including Edge Sense. This phone is amazing, takes vary nice pictures (and pics are OK in low light, not as good as on the U11 but for the price it's a great choice).
It's lighter and had more "grip" that the metal edges, at least for me it's not as slippery as big brother so I tend to enjoy it more without a case on !

Hello!
How did you get your unit? I live in France too (judged by Bouygues Telecom in your status bar).
I pre-ordered it from htc.com and I have no clue when I will get it.

He obviously got the 32GB version, wich is on sale since a week or so. The HTC website is the only place where you can get the 64 GB Version.

I was lucky to test the unit a few weeks before it was released (I am running the french blog www.monhtcone.com). I confirm this is the 4GB / 64 GB version.
I 'm going to post a Q&A video soon on my channel, so if you have any specific question feel free to ask

Same here in NL. I contacted HTC NL and their customer service said they expected to deliver the 4gb / 64gb devices not until beginning of December... Not sure if this also applies to other countries but a little disappointing seeing how the 'regular' model is already available through several webshops here...

Not Great at all. Looks like another 2 weeks worth of wait, oh well, I do hope its a case of 'good things come to those who wait.'
Been reading reviews and although this is not a flagship phone the reviews do seem encouraging. Bring it on HTC...

I've ordered 2 yesterday.
The black version seems to be available. The Blue version not. So expect delays when going for the blue version.
On a side note. Black Friday sale started yesterday, so the phone now costs around 341€
Check HTC Club

Still worth it NOW?

Hello,
I had a Xperia Z1 before and it had some problems so I sent it to Sony just a week ago and they are going to destroy the phone and leave me with nothing (unless i pay, then i get the broken device back) so I'm looking for a new phone just after 3 months :/ The oneplus two seems nice but I don't really want to spend 400 bucks on a phone as i'm only 16 years old and don't have the money for it yet! I can get the 16gb model but my music library is about that size lol! The oneplus one seems nice but I'm not exactly sure if I should buy it or not as I've seen people post stuff about messy touch screens which is a problem I really don't want!
Has this been fixed in recent updates and is this still a good phone to get for 300 bucks(64gb)?
Thanks in advance!

The truth is most people don't have any issues with this device, no matter how hard the haters try to say otherwise. It's still a good buy.

Touchscreen issues have been fixed, only bad thing is that with the latest Android L, the battery isn't so good but it's possible to downgrade to kitkat.

Mentioned touch screen issues were with initial lot.. The new devices don't have any problems..
OPO is well worth the money..
Only advice would be not to upgrade to 5.1 and continue using it on 4.4..for the sake of battery of course.. [emoji56]

Yup, there's no problem with it, I got one bought in January till now and it has no issues at all, no yellow tint or touch problem. Previously I got 1 early China batch one it indeed has yellow tint, but it doesn't as annoying or visible as you think.
Also vote for staying on KK, Lollipop the battery drain like nobody business. (Stock CM12S/CM12.1, Stock Kernel too)
go ahead n buy... no device has comecloser for me in terms of value for money!! no issues left now
hopefully android m will end battery problems as well!!

Alrighty then, the device is 300 euros in Europe and that's a steal! Do you guys happen to know when they will stop selling the one to estimate how much time I have left to buy one?

I don't think they'll stop the sales anytime sooner. The phone is selling a lot even now, after a year of it's release. So take your time.
I'm sorry I didn't see the date of your query, but You will not find a better phone for the money. I won't ask how they managed to refuse to warranty the phone, but that is a shame. Hopefully you can save up some money and get one.
Hi. im also planning to trade my G3 for this device, im worried of my G3 that the crack issue will occur soon so I think of trading it for the 1+1.
is it worth it?

Yes its totally worth it. I bought my g3 in January of this year and as days pass by I started hating it. There was barely any development, the battery didn't last long,and it got pretty warm after sometime. I trade it for a one plus one and I'm not regretting it whatsoever I mean it doesn't have the fancy features like the g3 but the only thing I used on my g3 was the radio sometimes and rarely the ir blaster.

Its still a decent device, although I'm keeping an eye on the ZUK Z1 which has been announced for international release to day (available October), with Cyanogen OS. Its basically shares many of the same internal hardware with the OPO, but has some additional features like OIS, dual SIM, finger print scanner, USB Type C, bigger battery, (arguably) nicer build materials.

Oh, they're also working on a ZUK 2 for January! Featuring the Snapdragon 820..

I sold my 64gb One Plus One (only had it for a few months, got it after the invite system went away) to fund a One Plus Two but ultimately decided to get a Mi Note instead. Love it; far happier than I was with the One. The One had ghost touches, yellowing screen, crap and a half camera (who cares about 4K if HD and FHD still look bad) and horrible onboard sound quality. The Mi is fantastic. Giant LCD (I'm 6'6" so this is a plus), OIS camera, best audio DAC I've ever hear on a phone. And I really like MIUI. One Plus MIUI is broken.
The only downside is shipping from China, but mine arrived no problem (15 days, most of those spent in some sort of customs). 16GB are roughly the same, 64GB Mi Note is cheaper than comparable OP2.
Answer to your title: No! You can find better devices with the same money.

I just got my OPO for 2 weeks.
It has yellowish band on bottom screen.
But overall I satisfy this phone. (especially I am a flashaholic user.)

I heard that band issue can be fixed by using it in the sun or putting it under some UV light, so if I have it I'll try that
To be honest, I'd take the Moto x Style or Moto x Play. With the new style center from Motorola and the 20 mp camera on the Play edition, it really stands out and may even be better then the 1+2.

In my country, the moto x style is 500 euros which is well over my budget since I wasn't planning to buy a new phone any time soon!
you mean 380 euro in your country look at coolbue.nl, the moto x play is there for 379,-

[A9 Indian Owners] Official HTC A9 Indian owners thread..!!

Hi friends, as HTC One A9 is all set to launch in India, its good time to have a thread dedicated to Indian owners and to be owners where we can share experiences and also try to stay updated with the latest news about the device. Thank You..!!
Let the party begin ?
Sent from my A0001 using XDA Forums PRO
so far..no news..why the hell India is always selling fones on premium and getting the last priority in availability
Well, with no price being given till now, I expect this to be 35k+
Has not been cheaper than $499(+$25 tax) =Rs.34,650 without pre-order in US and UK prices are even higher. I think it won't be cheaper than 35k even though HTC would do some penetration price cut, due to the high tax and customs in India. Also, during the press meet HTC expressed its intention to introduce new low price series in India to support HTC's growth. That indicates this phone is not going to be cheaper
Safe to say 40k+ then, fingers crossed.

Hey I checked import data on Zauba and it says 22,556 for single unit, so maybe they might end up pricing it below 30k I believe
Have a look
Surprised by the pricing... 30k is good
That's a good price for that phone! Maybe not all hope is lost for HTC in India.

Provided they include the earphones too! In US, the package came without earphone, luckily I got $100 store credit for patiently waiting on the pre-order and bought all the accessories (more than just a headset). Otherwise, it is something like an incomplete package
but the phones in US come with Uh-Oh protection and Play Music subscription, and those won't be available here, so they could have priced it more competitively, just a thought

I saw the registration page and they are only having 2 color variants available now and initially only 2500 units will be made available
HTC seems very cautious in releasing it's inventory/ or even keeping an inventory.. Guess their current financial state is dictating that.
for me deep garnet is the most interesting model color wise but sad that they haven't made it available here
another info worth sharing

Just over 2 days, battery life is holding well. Matches my E8 more or less for my usage pattern. Using the camera or an app like Snapchat drains it a bit faster. But nothing much. Also, the phone charges really quick, 0-100% in about 110 mins with the supplied 1.5A charger. That makes it really amazing.
I'll try posting some pics later.

Where are all the reviews?

I preordered the phone from the UK store. Just wondering where all the reviews are at? Is it because none of the U.S. outlets received review models or is there an embargo? All the reviews are from people who imported the phone. I know that some outlets like android central went to events and said they were going to review it.... so does anyone know?
I think its HTC strategy with this phone, their marketing budget for it must be about £5! All I've seen is things on their social media and website, nothing anywhere else. I.E they aren't giving it out in the UK/europe for free for people to review, hence English reviews will only really come about when people who have paid for the phone get it.
Very strange, maybe it some deal they had with google considering its competing with the pixel 2 xl and this pretty much was going to be that phone?

That's a great question.
Yes in theory it should be possible. Especially since HTC actively advertises this feature in the U11+ specifications page on their website. If you scroll all the way down you will see a "DisplayPort" feature in the list. That's the technology behind the magic. The so called Displayport alt mode.
I wish one of the reviewers would finally hook up their U11 or U11+ directly to their TV using a simple USB-C to HDMI cable. There's exactly 2 videos demonstrating this feature on YouTube but they're using the older U10.
None of the U11 or U11+ reviewers demonstrated this awesome feature so far. What a shame. They didn't do their homework.
Give me a U11 or a U11+ and I will do a proper review.
Bunch of amateur reviewers!

Most reviewers are from the US so don't expect many besides the ones that are available already. So people like MKBHD, MrMobile etc probably won't review it cuz they usually get review units. Maybe J Williams and Flossy might if they import it.

Yeah the battery life is the main reason I opted for this phone, along with the LCD HDR display and good camera. It just doesn't seem to have any compromises outside of the headphone jack.
If you have the phone id love to see some screen on time screenshots.
Also, in line with the topic of the thread, GSMArena just did an article saying they're reviewing the phone now!
GSMArena review is coming soon!

That's great. I didn't know Huawei Mate 10 had DisplayPort functionality. All modern smartphones should have it out of the box if you ask me.
If anything you would want the Huawei Mate 10 Pro . The other mates only have 4 GB RAM. You want it to compete with the U11+ right.
But then again the Mate 10 Pro has AMOLED screen and no sdcard slot which is a big turnoff. The Mate 10 have LCD and sdcard slot but only 4 GB RAM...
You know what. Just save yourself lots of trouble and get the U11+ which has 6 GB RAM & sdcard slot & LCD display.

If it helps, I returned my pixel 2 XL, due to screen issues and random reboots.
Then I purchased a Huawei mate 10 Pro, and have used it for the last two days. It's a great phone(screen is fantastic) but it's the little things that are bothering me with it, so I will be returning it tomorrow ( no double tap to wake, Bluetooth playback is quiet, speakers aren't great, finger print is slow at responding, always on display doesn't show notifications and keeps freezing on wrong time)
I will be purchasing the HTC u11+ and I think it's going to be spot on, but we'll see ?
Might seem fussy but if I'm paying big money, it has to be right ?

Selling your Mate 20 X - oh Dear.....!

Wasnt sure what section to place this in, but as it's news, I'll leave it here.
In the UK I bought this phone for £599 with the free cover and pen just over a week ago.
Now just thought I'd check how much this bad boy is worth(trade in prices) ....oh dear....one place, offers £100, the rest......£50!!!!
What's going on?
I know there is problems between us and China.....but what the hell??!!?
Where do they sell the mate 20 x voor 100? I'd buy another one.

Don't you worry... It's still by far the best phone out there! Honestly where will you find a phone with the largest screen and battery, Infra red, mpen, the internals of the p30 pro, and a camera to die for?
Still cannot get over this beast of a device!
I paid £799 included the pen and case. It's an awesome phone, Hdr screen, stellar battery life and amazing speaker system... I've considered moving given the uncertainty with Huawei but I look at what's out there isn't a phone with the same specs. I'm not compromising on camera, sound or battery life. Therefore I'm keeping my little pocket rocket. And android 9.1 will be released from 27 June.
599£ wtf?
Here u can get it for 599€, I get one for 499€ and on ebay you can get one for about 400-450€.
This is the price for last 6 weeks.
But there is no way to get it <400€.
I really dont care, i could never ever even thinking to sell this phone.
Still nothing out there that can currently beat it, i just hope they sort out this Chinese ban or i'll be forced to get another phone as won't be able to use Huawei for a work phone.
I'm going to be selling my L29 this weekend with a 128gb nm card, a bunch of cases and I'm also bootloader unlocked.

What's your impression, in comparison?
Loudspeaker and camera quality?

Speakers are about the same with an ever so slight edge to the 20 X as they are slightly louder and have a little more highs but not by that much. So far the camera quality is the same to me but I haven't had the phone more than a few hours. I'll have to take some comparison shots tonight;
Update : I actually sold the phone to a friend, for £550 and got a note 9, but a week later, have got rid of that, and rebought mate 20x again

Note 9 is a sham mate it's an abomination. Way too heavy even for me with big hands and love heavy phones. It feels like a cheap Chinese phone with a Samsung badge stuck to it. Think Samsung pulled a fast one here. Note 10 will be innovative and futuristic but note 9 was terrible. This phone is a keeper. Sucks that development is so poor. Glad you came to your senses not even the op7 pro can touch this. This is the best phone I have ever had and I have had them all. XS Max and XR 8plus S10 plus Note 9 NEX S Max 3 Mix 3 to name a few.

The link I gave is the European model. The Netherlands got it much earlier. ? All models are the same from everything that I've read.
Belsimpel.nl offers sim free European model and deliver almost everywhere in Europe.
Thanks for the hints guys.
Damn.... it costs as much as S20 Ultra. :/

yeah, that's unfortunate.
I found the Find X2 Pro on "Trading Shenzhen" for 927€ https://tradingshenzhen.com/en/vivo-oppo-realme-etc/2159-oppo-findx2pro-12-256.html
however it's a Chinese model. Most likely won't be able to flash Global ROM on it... but the price is very tempting!
already cancelled my Find X2 (non Pro) order, and I'm probably gonna buy the Pro from Trading Shenzhen.

I will wait to see the OnePlus 8 series announcement. If they are not better, I hope Oppo will be already available in more EU countries by then.

OnePlus 8 Pro looks impressive, but I'm not a fan of the green and the camera no quite on par from initial comparisons. What are your thoughts?

I also didn't like the green too much, but the blue version looks amazing on all reviews no matter that on oneplus' webpage the picture of the blue looks ugly. For the camera I agree that probably it won't be the absolute best but I wouldn't look at Oneplus anyways if the camera was my top priority. However I think it will be updated and it will be top-of-the-line. Oneplus is the king of updates and UX. The screen is the best, stereo speakers, fastest wireless charging. I also like that they removed the motorized camera tbh(i know this is subjective, but still). The curve of the screen is not something that I appreciate, but also I get used to this( I had the Vivo Nex 3, Huawei Mate 30 Pro) and don't mind in the end.
Some things I like better on the Find X2 Pro(the back finish for example and the faster wired charging), but OnePlus 8 Pro gets my vote because the community is beyond comparison so we will get all kinds of things to play with over here at XDA. +good battery +fastest wireless charging +the best screen +great camera +Oxygen(btw Find X2 Pro is similar) +best updates.
In the end -> I placed my pre-order of the blue 256GB model and hopefully will get it by the end of next week.

Looking at this, did you buy it? Is it dual-SIM. Website sort of makes out it is, but chatting to their team on facebook messenger, they say its a single sim??
Hi, do you know différences between chinese and global version ?

Hi, sadly I don't. I waited for two weeks (6 days for it to be in stock) and they still didn't send it despite having it in stock (despite their adverts saying thar they send phones 7 days a week until 11pm etc) and I cancelled the order and bought a P40 Pro instead.
I’ve ordered the orange variant from Belsimpel.nl, shipped Friday so hope to receive sometime this week (UK). Took a few days to get through fraud check as I’m not in the Netherlands but appreciate that is for my safety also. By the time i got through the checks it said 2-4 days to get stock in but they actually shipped immediately. Not sure if they put one to the side for me but doubt it!

I've took the gamble too. Have just ordered the black from belsimpel.nl
Looked at all the alternatives, and although some of the China ones were cheaper, they were all just 256gb. I would have liked dual sim but the chance of the phone not supporting android auto and/or wifi calling (plus only one year warranty - and the possibility of customs charges etc) was too much of a gamble. None of the Chinese merchants would commit.
Hopefully, this will arrive swiftly... nice black 512Gb single SIM for just over €1,204 including shipping. Reckon that even when(if) it turns up in UK it'll be similar price for 512Gb.
Ordering, like you say, was a bit of a miff... but I'll take that for security purposes.

Just for info, the tracking on mine was stuck, it still said it was waiting to be picked up by the courier for 3 days after it 'shipped'. It wasn't though it was in transit and arrived within 3 working days
Arrived 2nd Day after shipping. Has Android Auto, WiFi calling (yet to test), so currently quite happy
