HTC U Ultra announced, gets secondary display and super strong sapphire glass

HTC U Ultra is the 2017 flagship phone from HTC. For a change, this year, HTC has managed to announce their competitor to Samsung’s next flagship phone and it looks brilliant. Best features include powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 821, Sapphire Glass for 128GB model, 5.7” QuadHD display, secondary 2.05” display. It will be interesting. The problem here though is that the phone is much much bigger than Samsung’s phablet, the S7 Edge and is also bigger than the Note 7.

It will be interesting to see how consumers will respond to the HTC U series. Also announced is the HTC U Play.
