I'm not gonna lie, I like big phones. Before I became a full-time Android phone reviewer, I divided my time equally between the Nexus 6P and the iPhone 7 Plus, and I was more than a little bummed that I never got a chance to try out the Galaxy Note7. B...

The comeback? The U Ultra flagship smartphone is to pave the way for HTC's desperately needed comeback. This might even be successful with an intelligent assistant, high-quality audio technology, and a second screen. However, some test results rouse doubt...

Seen in total, HTC's U Ultra is, in fact, a worthy premium-range smartphone thanks to its good performance rates, low temperatures, high-quality accessories, and some innovations. However, it cannot quite compete with the top models by Apple and Samsung...

I was almost giddy when I reviewed the HTC 10 last year. After years of casting about for the right approach, the company built a phone that seemed like a clear step in the right direction. Fast forward to January 2017: HTC revealed the $750 U Ultra, a g...

HTC's new U Ultra smartphone oozes style, and for the most part it's a very speedy, very well built flagship. That said, the company made some puzzling decisions here. This is a big phone with a big screen, but HTC fitted it with a relatively small 3,000m...

Sometimes smartphone manufacturers keep their lineups simple: a clear flagship (maybe in a couple size options), then possibly a spread of mid-rangers, and maybe even a super-budget model. And while all those phones can be very interesting for their o...

For as many steps as HTC takes in the right direction, it can't help but shoot itself in the foot with a few big goof-ups. The U Ultra is a relatively attractive handset that comes with a nice assortment of extras (like that case and the really good-sound...

I've been using the HTC U Ultra for a little over a full week now. It's the latest "flagship" (I know, that word) from HTC, and the specifications generally would support such a classification. A Snapdragon 821 processor, 5.7" Quad HD LCD display, 4GB of...

Subjective, yes, but I love the highgloss glass back on this phone. This blue color in particular is just stunning, If you like big phones, this is a big phone with a big screen (two screens, in fact), HTC takes an everlighter hand to Android with each pa...
It sucks. I'm getting 6070% of the battery life I would with a Pixel XL with this phone. This is unacceptable, and it's definitely a result of the awful display (5.7"ticker) to battery (3000mAh) ratio, I have never seen a phone's screen get scratched as e...
The HTC U Ultra is not a bad phone. It's kind of a good one, in some ways. But here's the thing: even on the best day, the U Ultra is just what I'd call decent. At the $750 level, that's absolutely not living up to the competition. For $20 more, you can b...

While HTC's Vive virtual-reality headset has generated lots of buzz, the company's latest batch of phones hasn't received nearly as much attention. However, with a new flagship phone sporting a high-res, 16-megapixel selfie cam; a handy second screen; and...

The HTC U Ultra is a gorgeous phone with a unique jewel-like finish, top-notch performance and one of the best selfie cameras you can get on a phone right now. I also like the handy second screen and small touches, like BlinkFeed and HTC's Themes app. Plu...

The U Ultra is HTC's flagship smartphone for 2017. It's a massive slab of metal and glass that offers a premium experience at a premium price. If you're looking for an unlocked alternative to the Android offerings from LG and Samsung, the U Ultra has plen...

It's pretty easy to say the U Ultra is HTC's finest phone. You will not find a more visually arresting smartphone on the market. HTC designed an eye-pleasing piece of hardware. I dare you not to fall in love with the hero blue color. HTC made some serious...

HTC U Ultra review: The phablet arena is pretty quiet right now, most notably occupied by the Huawei Mate 9 (in the UK at least) but HTC might have a new noteworthy entrant to consider if you're after a supersized, super-powerful smartphone, and it's call...

At a glance, the tick list of the HTC U Ultra looks extremely promising. You can expect great performance with plenty of storage, it's an audiovisual treat for both capturing and enjoying media, and has some standout design elements, but despite all of th...
