Wow, that's gotta be one of the biggest chins in a smartphone in recent years. Looks brutal! And pretty much the same hardware as the Xiaomi Redmi 4 Prime (which has 4000mAh battery) I got last year for 35% of the price of this thing- good luck with that...
Is there any word on whether Canada gets Sense or Android One for the Life? We're frequently given "US only" models of phones instead of "rest of world" models.
I wonder why HTC, Samsung, Sony, LG and even Google think they can rip off customers with phones which only cost about 1/3 to make, like Apple does. There are many Chinese phones that have better hardwares and designs but cost less i.e. Meizu pro 5.
Nice short review, but please Anandtech, remember that this is a PHONE. Unlike Apple and others, HTC considers sound quality important. Why didn't you say a single word about the combined performance of the speaker(s) and microphones? Those were the primary reason I bought and enjoyed the HTC M8. The U11 is supposed to have great phone and intercom sound. What about this this model?? Thanks.

Because it's proven they can sell? Besides not taking into consideration R&D and marketing costs.Samuel Lord - Friday, November 3, 2017 - link
