Soo... How is it?

Long story short, att messed up and ended up crediting me the price of my upgrade ($220) and pushing up my upgrade to eligible.
Ive had my eye on the one since it first was rumored but haven't heard much from people who actually have it.
Soo.... How is it? Should i use my newly obtained upgrade for this or should i wait it out some..

See what people think.

Excellent, I've not regretted choosing it - it's all I wanted.
I've upgraded from a Sammy S2. My primary phone usage is actually as a media player... A bit of on demand telly, but mostly listening to mp3s at work, and podcasts when I'm having a soak in the bath or lazing around at home.
The stereo speakers make such a difference, as does the Beats processing. It's a world away from the tinny output of the Samsung (which was in most other aspects an excellent phone, especially when I had Cyanogen on it to freshen it up)
Build quality is excellent, it really does feel great. Still not quite as impressive as an iPhone 4 though, but the best of the rest.
The screen is pin sharp. I'd like the automatic brightness to be biased a little brighter though (or customisable)
The Ui is truly butter smooth (Xperia z I tried in the shop was a lag-fest and very disappointing in comparison)
Blink feed is actually pretty good. I've always used Taptu for my news feed. Blink is allegedly going to be improved in the future.. It won't take much improvement to supplant Taptu entirely.
I've barely scratched the surface of Zoe, but it's impressed me so far. I've not even tried the Highlight options yet.
The camera seems to take good pictures, especially in low light... The flash hasn't kicked in for me yet!
Sense 5 is well designed, it looks good. I like the way the app drawer contents can be viewed in multiple ways and a custom view set up.
The phone must be powerful - it seems to play Real Racing 3 as well as my iPad - very impressive!
Battery life has seemed good, it doesn't eat battery on standby, but does during heavy use.. Which is understandable. I don't think I have enough experience to really say if it's good or bad compared to other phones, but its not died unexpectedly on me.
The phone seems stable... No crashes or lockups... Pretty good for such a new phone?
My gripes?
The phone got very, very hot when using Navigation whilst charging, with satellite image layer turned on.
I miss the menu button. and the Sammys physically clickable home button.. a bit.
I'd like the back and home buttons to be permanently lit, they don't show in bright or medium lighting.
I summary, yes I'd definitely buy this again if I had the choice

This is my third Android phone, previously owned Desire HD, One X (Tegra 3 - international version).
Only had One for two weeks, but so far really happy with it, no problems with build quality or functions.
Would go as far as to say it's the best phone I've owned.

i love my htc one. I picked it up a week ago. I've had iphones for the passed 4 years and didnt fancy the 5.
I went in to pick up an xperia z, but changed my mind for the one.
Ive used it more or less constantly since I got it, it has not crashed once, its fantastic.
I wasnt sure after ios for so long Id get on with it, but I love it. Il list why,
The speakers are fantastic, it really sounds great. The music player is impressive
The camera takes nice looking photos, the colours seem perfect. Theres alot to the camera I havent played with yet.
Everything is lag free, not just lag free, but impressively fast.
Blinkfeed is quite nice, although when I grab my phone to do something I end end up reading interesting news instead
I like android a lot more than I though I would.
Its an amazing phone. Hard to put it down. I looked through all the available phones, to me it was the winner, it is beautiful
The screen is just awesome.
Battery life has been good, it lasts as long as youd expect it to.
Sorry if i sound like a htc one sales man. its a lovely phone. Get one

One word, awesome!!! That is all

It rocks! Best phone I've had (coming from a Sensation)
Great battery life
Incredible camera
Beautiful design
Smooth & fast
There is a lot more to it but those are the winning points for me!

Best phone i've ever had.
One massive thing i've noticed with the camera is that you don't have to stay super still for shots. The shutter is so fast i think it's the first phone i've ever come across with a LED flash that actually competes with cameras that have a xenon flash.
I went out last night and each picture i took in a low lit pub was superb, genuinely amazed at the camera and its quickness.
The Boomsound is awesome, the phone is so fast, the camera is great and the screen is A class. Literally the best phone i've ever had and the best purchase i've made in a long time.
I am soooo chuffed i got this and not the Z ( just for its waterproof feature ) which id probably never use.

I think the only thing that worries me is the battery life, is it atleast in the 8hr range with moderate to heavy use?

Hmmm, tricky to say - I've not spent more than an hour in one go where I've used the phone heavily (constantly browsing / watching video / downloading apps etc), but haven't been within reach of a charger and a power point. My Sammy S2 often ate battery even when in standby so I bought extra chargers and distributed them around the house
However... my experience of checking the battery usage graph when it's unplugged is that
1) the line is nicely horizontal when in standby
2) the line doesn't resemble a cliff when the screen is on and I'm doing something.
If you want some rather more scientific results, best check the reviews... I recommend the Anandtech review here. It's a great piece of tech writing

The Xperia Z, a lag fest? Keep telling yourself that. Whatever makes you feel comfortable with your purchase.
Sent from my C6603 using xda app-developers app

Can't really fault it too be honest, still in a love/hate relationship with blinkfeed but other than that it's not skipped a bit, zero lag and everything is super smooth no matter what you throw at it.
Minor gripe is that htc really do need to put back in the option for long press back for menu.

@zodiac100 Why do you feel the need to defend every last bit about the Z are you that insecure that you feel the need to police the HTC One forums looking for anyone stating anything bad about your beloved phone?

I was actually going to buy an Xperia Z as the idea of a waterproof phone really appealed to me (listening to podcasts in the bath). But I was sorely disappointed when I tried the Z in a couple of shops the scrolling between home screens noticeably hiccuped. Now, sure, I don't know what the rest of the phone is like, but that was enough to put me off straight away. After all if the software isn't smooth on something like that, hopes aren't going to be high about the rest of the phone. The One is smooth everywhere.
I suspect the only person telling themselves anything to keep themselves happy with their purchase is you, but it's no skin off my nose...
Edit: in retrospect 'lag-fest' in my previous post was a poor choice of words - an exaggeration. But it did, to some extent, reflect my initial impression of the phone. Perhaps, to nick the tag line of a fast food outlet,"where's the butter?" would do the trick.

Are there differences between the variants? Like will there be att, sprint, tmobile, and international development or is it all gonna be together?
Sent from my HTC One X+ using Tapatalk 2

There will be variants for different radio types (CDMA vs GSM) and LTE bands. The dev edition is aimed at ATT, and I don't think will fully support T-Mobile (I don't remember seeing 1700 in the specs). Best to check compatibility before buying.

Thinking of moving from an S4

Getting really bored of my Samsung Galaxy S4 and am looking towards the HTC ONE.
What do you guys reckon?
Whats the battery life and camera like?
Does the metal body chip or bend or damage easily?

I also switched mate. S4 is nice but the One is even nicer.
The quality and design feel alot more premium than the S4's design and the screen is absolutely gorgeous.
Super LCD 3 is waay better then S amoled in my opinion.
Be sure to convert it to Google edition
Just do it, you wont regret

I had the s4 it was the worst phone I ever touched. From lag to cheap plastic to unoptimized software and Samsung using half of the storage I couldn't deal with it. Switched to an HTC one and never looked back and I am on att.

Battery life is slightly less than S4. The edges will chip with rough use but the metal doesn't bend. You'll feel a performance drop [reduced framerate] when playing graphic intensive games like MC4. S4 is smoother with such games. Again, ever so slightly, but noticeable nevertheless. However, overall smoothness HTC>S4. Camera... it really depends. Check out some of the camera reviews here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2167592. HTC One screen >>> S4. If you're coming from the 16GB S4, you should enjoy the 32GB of space.
And oh oh Boomsound! You should hear the speakers on this thing man. They're on a different level... just amazing!
My verdict... wait for the HTC One Max.

Didnt samsung fix the lag in there latest update? Anyways this phone feels more high end all around, hardware and software wise and also things like the tv remote seem to work better and have cleaner interface

Thanks guys
Main thing that concerns me is the camera
I've seen samples and the S4 is much better - is this really the case for those who have switched?
Also, I can root the S4 in seconds, is it the same with the HTC?

Go to a shop and try the One M7 in your hands and see how you feel, i bought an One M7 over the G4 for the stereo speakers for when i watch a movie and it is glorious, and the screen is so good amazing detail, but i would still like an S4 if i had the money :laugh:

Rooting is very easy ..just unlock bootloader through HTC dev then flasha a custom recovery...simple as that takes three mins...then you probably want to do s off

My honest opinion on the HTC camera,,, with Sense its great in low light, but its nowhere near as good as the 8mp shooter on my missus iPhone on regular old daylight pics, id even say my old Samsung Droid Charge took better pictures..... and once i went Google edition i think its worse again, kinda grainy, why not just convert your S4 into a Google Edition, im seriously thinking about going down that route, camera has been a bit of a letdown for me on the One

there are plenty of sites comparing them both. they will give you much balanced review. and no most of them never gave you a balanced view. just 2 of them did .

The camera, in my opinion, is just fine for 99% of typical usage. If you're gonna print out copies, the One will not be as good... but if you just keep them on your phone to share, text them to other people, or upload them to social media sites, the camera is more than sufficient. The low light performance is a plus as well.
Battery life is pretty damn good in my opinion. I haven't done anything to optimize my battery life, and it lasts me a whole day of medium usage. With some tweaking, people are seeing 5 to 6 hours of screen on time. If you use your phone more than that in a day, it's likely you're in need of a new job or hobby, haha.
Hardware is simply untouchable. The screen is beautiful and converted me from a huge loyalty to Samsung amoled screens. The body of the phone is gorgeous and feels awesome in the hand. The dual front speakers are not just hype... they are truly astounding.
Software was a nice surprise for me. I've always hated Sense, and thought it made phones ugly and sluggish. Sense 5 is neither. Though I use Apex launcher, HTC really impressed me with their refinements of Sense. Like others have said, the phone flies through pretty much everything except intensive gaming.
Overall, in my book, HTC won this round of flagships. They won't sell as many, but it really is a much better phone.

Here's the skinny...
If you are shooting in anything but optimal light get the One. I have been amazed at the quality level with no noise. Sunny day shooting looks great as well but it does have the slightest bit Lower quality compared to the S4
Ex - incandescent lighting in a home, cloudy skies, restaurant......

If you happen to live in the US and also happen to have a T-Mobile S4, I will trade with you. Mine is 9.5/10 condition wise. Only reason I don't give it a full 10 is because I've used it. 10/10 for me would be unused.
Anyway, if you want to swap, PM me. It would have to be a T-Mobile S4, though.

They are very different phones in a lot of ways, so there is no one answer as to which is "best". It depends on what you use it for and how you use it.
I went with the One because I liked the look and feel much more. I just don't like plastic phones anymore. Playing with them side by side, I just found the One smoother and faster.
My phone is heavily optimized, but I have no trouble going 36 hours without a charge.
The camera issue is quite polarizing. It depends a great deal on what you use your phone for. If you take photos mostly for texting and social media, the One is superior because of it's better performance across all conditions. If you use it as a replacement for a point-and-shoot camera, or expect to be able to blow up/crop the shots, the 13MP camera on the S4 is a better choice.
This is a very tough phone. I haven't bothered with a case or screen protector, and it still looks out-of-the-box new. My screen does not have a single scratch. CNET threw their test unit out of a moving bus and it survived with no more than a ding on the corner.
You may be able to root the S4 faster, but the locked bootloader on some models has inhibited development. Development on the One could not be more robust--some rom threads see 200-300 posts a day.

So, as an owner of the HTC One i'l give you a honest thought.
FIRST OF ALL - I don't know how much money you have to spend and I'm not going to get into your life, but if I was in your situation I wouldn't recommend buying the HTC One if you have the S4. It doesn't even matter if the One is a bit smoother and has an aluminium body over the s4's plastic body, at the end of the day they are both top android phones with similar specifications. I moved from the old Galaxy S1 to the HTC One, Now its just amazing how different they are I cant even explain, the HTC One is probably the best phone I've seen out there, but at the end of the day? they are just similar, running the same OS and they both are used the same.
So After giving you my opinion let me tell you this:
1. First, the HTC One is definitely the smoothest android phone I've ever seen - including the Galaxy S4. and By the way the phone runs MC4 and whatever game you pick smoothly.
2. the HTC One has the best screen I've seen, comparing to the Iphone 5, the Galaxy S4 and others - its absolutely beautiful and stunning. Moving from the S1 was a shock to me.
3. The camera is pretty good, it has nice pics though I think I would pick the S4's camera - to me its not a big deal.
4. I know its all about opinions, but the HTC one is just the most beautiful phone ever, People see it and stay with their jaws down. The thing is I might be a bit paranoid, of course after paying alot for it, I cant go commando with it so I've put a protector that should protect it the best, so I cant see how nice it looks.
5. Speakers are just crazy, but seriously, who doesn't use their headphones? and If I've talked about the headphones already I must say that the headphones that come with the One sounds amazing using the phone!!!! I never thought that I could hear so good with the phone/heads.
6. Battery Life - I must say that the battery life is amazing for me!! I'm not a heavy user at all, but my Locations and 3G/wifi are on all day long I use facebook, play some games, whatsapp, Internet, waze and the battery won't end! I usually charge the phone every second day.
So after pointing all these out, the htc one is pretty amazing and its stunning, but If I were in your situation I would keep the money and stay with the S4.
Good Luck,

Thanks guys
I'll have to have a play with one to compare

Huawei P9 or wait.

hey guys.
so basically what I am using right now is HTC one M7, with the pink tint issue, I also have the lenovo p70 but in an attempt to root it it kinda got messed up not to mention that the HTC one M7 is better in every espect so. . the pink tint is really starting to get over my nerve, there was alot of moments where I really needed to take a pic of something or a group pic and the pink thingy totally ruined the experience. I can finally afford to get a new phone, a TRUE FLAGSHIP PHONE after the M7.
here is the catch the HTC one 10 and Huaewei p9 are both available locally and their prices are. with the current currency exchange.
the HTC one 780$
Huawei P9 480$
yes its really cheap here compared to the prices in europe, thats why I'm seriously considering the P9, my sister has the ascend G7 and its really nice and not bad at all, way nicer than the lenovo p70.
ideally I want to get the htc one 10 but having to deal with the pink tint issue I really want to get a smartphone with a good camera this time since seeing the reviews on the htc one 10 its camera is not really on par with the competition, the another reason why I'm still thinking about the p7 is the 3gb Ram instead of 4gb Ram at least whats available here. I really want to get a smartphone that would last me the next 2 or 3 years. also don't even get me talking about the samsung galaxy s7 since its priced at 1000$ here, just ridiculous.
so what do u guys think I should do.

P9 is very fast phone and it doesnt lag at all and the camera is good too but samsung and LG camera's better that p9
Sent from my EVA-L19 using XDA-Developers mobile app

Well here's the thing, if you go to the p9 forum and ask if you should get the p9 people will probably tell you yes
You want/need one right now so why wait? Of course there will be better devices but the real question is what features are important to you. IMHO smartphones are pretty much figured out by now and the differences between generations are minimal. After the xperia z3c I wanted something:
-not out of glass
-about 5" screen
-a cool camera
-sd slot
-USB C
-flat back, no camera bump
-resolution not higher than 1080p
And money is an issue for me too so.... the p9 is only 500 francs here (=500$), it's just the perfect device for my needs. I suggest you make a list like this and see what devices match most of your needs.
I'd say the p9 offers the best price/performance ratio of any smartphone out there right now. Maybe the one+ three can rival it when it comes out.

Just a question, P9 Lite or Honor 7 people?

In terms of camera, I find the P9's camera to be excellent in good to average light and not so good in low light! One other area the the S7 is better is faster camera startup time and less shutter lag.
I think most of these issues can be addressed with a software fix, but not sure how good Huawei is with updates.

Can't tell you take this one or that one, it's up to you but I am/was nearly in the same situation, here's my situation atm:
I've been using the M7 for 3 years now and I'm in love with the design still now. I also got the purple tint issue with the camera but within the legal guarantee period I managed to get it replaced by HTC.
But unfortunately I got some battery issue with it for several months now(it shut's off around 25/30%). I sent it to China to get the battery replaced.
I expected better design from HTC but the 10's design is not really my cup of tea (too far from M7 and not in a better way imho). I already manipulated both devices ( 10 and P9 ) and the 10 didn't attracted me at all. The P9 on the other hand seemed gorgeous to me(titanium grey with the black camera bar atleast). And honestly that's the only reason I choose the P9 over the HTC 10.
Sometimes you can say if it's about the price, get the cheapest even if the one that cost more can give you better things though you're going to change it soon.
In my case this doesn't really apply. The reason is I don't care about the price as I tend to keep my phone more than 1 or 2 years. I never really chose my smartphones because it was cheaper than another or because I wanted to show off my high priced phone. If one device catch my eyes I look for their overall performance. If it's good enough I try them to decide if I keep it or not.
So here I'm for two weeks now with the P9 . I got back my M7 too monday aaaand it still rocks
I ordered the P9 on amazon(~550€) to try it for 30 days. Now I've the choice to keep the M7 with it's brand new battery or the P9.
As I still don't know which one to keep, if I had to compare with the M7 here's some of plus points for me, it's personal (keep in mind that the m7 is a 2013 flagship and the P9 is a 2016 flagship, three years separates them) :
The fingerprint reader, blazing fast, can keep secure apps from friends/family w/o having to type password or whatever.
Slimmer.
Almost same size(little bit taller) as the M7, I don't really feel the size difference.
Fully charged in 90 minutes with a quick charge 3.0 charger. The M7 with the same charger takes up to 160 minutes.
Overall battery life (though there's 700 mA difference between the two devices so I guess it's to be expected). I can go out without to carry a powerbank with me( for now atleast)
Battery drain almost nonexistent compared to my M7.
I can finally zoom on pictures I take ( :victory: ) and they are enough good for smartphone photography.
If you're a Sense fan you can get it on the P9 too from here some says . I personally used Nova launcher on my M7 so the experience is almost the same for me.
Can't feel any weight difference neither
etc
As you can see, no real plus point that can help me decide to abandon my loyal M7. Except two things : the fingerprint reader and the battery life.
If I had to add something in your choice between the P9 and the 10:
For me, the power we get nowadays in our flagship smartphones is rarely used to it's full potential. Thus no need to go grab the most powerful processor with the most gigs of ram IF the rom/system is well tweaked imho.
Games on mobile is ****ty ! Only time pass/loss games are worth playing on a smartphone. And that's because there's no physical button (don't tell me you can plug/connect a controller, you ever tried play a game on your smartphone on the subway with a controller?). If you want a beast that can play every game you can throw at it, play it on your portable console which has the required physical buttons and specs or better just play it on a console or pc
The HTC's new UltraPixel technology is still not on point trust me and the cameras are smartphone cameras. End of discussion. If you really need good pictures, go get a good compact(around 600€) or a dslr because there's physics barrier that neither HTC neither HUAWEI can break.
They have both the same size battery, again it depends on the tweaks.
Maybe with the 10 you'll get updates sooner(good) as HTC tend to become nexus phones by diminishing the Sense footprint and become more stock(not so good imo) with the new Sense interface.
You might get a better community support with the HTC than the HUAWEI.
bla bla bla bla bla bla
That's all I can say about these two and I think I can be applied to almost all other flagship of this year(, last year, ... :crying: )
Maybe my reply can help you, maybe not. Just listen to your heart :angel:

I'd say Honor 7 but it tends to be old ( depends of the pov oc) so why not wait to see what brings the Honor 8?

1st of all thanks alot for your long and detailed reply, I wholeheartedly appreciate all the effort u put into writing all this, and it helped me alot especially the part where u said that a smartphone will last you 2 years or more so that price is not an issue. I liked that alot
2nd sorry for taking along time to reply to you, forgot to turn on E-mail notification for this thread.
3rdly after doing some research and the fact that a relative is mine is coming from the UK after 30 days I have a good chance of buying a phone of Ebay or amazon.co.uk and sending it to her so she bring it with her after testing it of course.
there is a comparison on youtube between the P9 and s7 camera, the P9 selfie cam comes on top but the back camera is better in the galaxy s7, and to be honest paying 500$ for a phone with 3gb of ram is not justified for me.
now I'm considering to candidates the unlocked S6 active which I can get for 330$ in UK and the asus zenfone max which is 180$, a weaker phone but with a massive battery which appeals greatly to me.
I don't think I'll ever get the htc 10 since its 700$ and its just not justified, too expensive especially when there are plenty of candidates that do the same stuff for far less. whatever I choose I'll update the thread with pics and thoughts, cheers

Sorry if this comes across as rude, but I've got to ask this. What the hell are you doing with your phone if you feel like you "need" more than 3gb of RAM? I mean I get it, it's better in general to have more because why not, but in my daily use, where I never close an app on my phone, I always have 1-1,5gb of RAM free. Now, granted I don't game on my phone at all because mobile games are not worth it (for me), but otherwise my daily use is really heavy and for the past ~1,5 months that I've had this phone I haven't had a single hickup or any hangs or slowdowns whatsoever.
Now, as to your original question in this topic:
I prefer the Huawei really. The camera is fantastic, even though it has its downsides (low-light photos are not that great), but hey, its a smartphone camera. What can you expect? If I need some actual performance photography-wise, I can always take my full frame DSLR with me. If we're talking about aesthetics, I prefer the Huawei since in my opinion it is one of the best-looking phones out there right now. Of course that's highly subjective and all so that really shouldn't affect your decision in any way. All in all, I think the P9 is a great device for it's price and Huawei have clearly exceeded themselves with this one. What I think you should do is actually find some place that you can at least test those devices you're pondering and seeing if you like them, because no matter what someone tells you is "the best phone ever", in the end it comes down to what works for you.

Thank u for the reply. And u are absolutely right 2gb of ram is more than enough for now.
I just want to update the thread and say that I bought a Zenfone max 2gb ram version. For 230$ couldn't be happier its smooth with marshmallow its camera is adequate (I have DSLR for events) it battery lasts me for 3 days of moderate use, Asus ZenUI is much nicer than htc with alot of helpful features and toggles. Its build quality is premium and I can charge other phone with the coupled USB cable.
As I said I can't justify paying 500$ - 700$ for a flagship that can do what a 200 phone can do, I should mention I don't game on mobile so that cut down on the cost. Also for some reason I find the zenfone touch more responsive than htc one.
Thank u all. Let's see for how long this Asus will last me ?

Best phone ever

Hi !!
I've the same feeling, first i wanted the HTC10... I had to choose the U11... And now i really Love it !!
I 'm stil discovering it, but at this point it's already a very very powerful and beautyful phone !!
Hightly recommended !!

Excellent Phone. Interesting Design. Smooooooooth Operator.
- HTC Sense is MUCH improved from my last experience(HTC One S long ago) and does not compel me to immediately install another launcher. (IMHO - OP5 OxygenOS is the best non-pure, non-custom dev OS)
- Sound is good on speakers; great on wired headset; decent on bluetooth.
- Assistant Apps - the choices can be confusing but I prefer choices.
---- Google Assistant - GAss is tolerable - Google Now seemed better.
---- HTC Alexa + Amazon Alexa = confusing; why do we need both?
---- HTC Sense Companion = whisperer of nothing? If someone has found it valuable, let me know.
- Screen is great.
- Battery has been EXCELLENT. I am getting ~24 hours on with 4-5 hours screen time. (No serious heavy gaming or videos though)
- Camera is stellar in daylight; decent in lowlight; night shots needs Pro adjustment to avoid graininess.

Right up there with the rest.
Very very very happy with this phone, and I must admit originally I was skeptical of the U11, but after playing with it for a while.... now I can't get it off my hands.
Very similar to this review https://www.xda-developers.com/i-wa...hip-can-be-a-remarkable-phone-squeeze-or-not/
but I had the phone way before they did the review.
I'm using Nova Launcher, it's soooooooooooooooooooooo smooooooooooooooooth.
everything flows sooooooooooo naturally with this phone, I can't believe it's real.
Like seriously I had the Samsung S7 before and it was nothing as smooth as this even after customization.
--- EDIT ---
Ah! forgot to mention about the Audio, besides the smooth screen animation either for simple things like UI or in Games / Apps, the Audio is outstanding, the Boom, the STEREO! the 3D sound the... MOVIE EXPERIENCE in the palm of your hands.
All the Games and Netflix are soooooooo much livery now.
Space shooters, Racing games, it's almost like playing in a Desktop PC but in your hands.
For Gaming hands down this HTC U11 takes the throne.... compared to the Samsung S7 or S8, that is less fluid (blame it on TouchWiz ui slow framework )

Do you use them naked?

This is my first HTC (Android) phone. Had a couple running windows pre iPhone ?
I've owned pretty much every flagship since the galaxy s2 and I always steered clear of HTC due to it's sub par camera woes. When I saw that this phone got a 90 dxomark score placing it ahead of the then reigning pixel I figured what the heck.
First impressions. Great build quality. Great software with a little caveat. I love the fact that there is little app duplication like the galaxy s8 but I'm not a big fan of the UI. Sense is somewhat invasive and the launcher is extremely dated. Thank god for Nova...
When you get past that this phone is amazing. The sound is great. The display is the best LCD display I've ever seen. The colour reproduction is pretty much perfect. Of course the camera is amazing.
I've only had it for a couple of days so I have yet to put it through its paces but I do see why HTC has such a loyal fan base.
Cheers!

Sort of. I put a Phantom Skinz Ultra Clear on my Solar Red U11. It doesn't give the "pink effect" that almost all the clear cases give it and it will protect from scratches. I've never cracked or broken a phone though. It did fall about 5.5 ft 3 days after I got it. It bounced like a pachinko game and even hit my metal helmet mount I have hanging on the wall of my cube at work then hit the floor. No damage.
I like this phone a lot ... not one complaint.

Top Notch. I had HTCs back to the old, original 4G and up to the M8. I just switched from the Note 5, I was going to wait for the Note 8, but it seemed that everyone either drank the Apple Koolaid or the Samsung Juice. This phone is super fast and smooth. I did like the wireless charging and occasional S-Pen, but am soooo glad I got the U11. Battery life is amazing and I am a heavy widget user. I love and missed Blink Feed, but got so used to Nova prime, so I use Nova, with the Prism shortcut button to switch over to the Blinkfeed page. No regrets on getting this phone, I hope HTC continues to blossom with this flagship. Next step, possible unlocking bootloader.

I have owned every HTC from the evo 4g. I didn't use my ultra, sold it brand new. I love this phone !! The U11 is amazing !! Having the LG and Samsung flagships being used by most of my friends it feels good knowing that HTC is back where they belong. IN FRONT OF EVERYONE ELSE !!!!! Nothing compares to this masterpiece!! The feel of the construction is very satisfying ! The camera is bar none ! Screen is beautiful ! Connectivity is as to be expected from HTC, better than any other. I get LTE reception right next to my wifes S7 edge when she has 3g !! As we all know we cannot even pretend that any iphone could even buy tickets to the main event much less compete in it. So it goes without saying ( but I like to) Apple has all but flown the coup when comparing to Android flagships. Finally the fact that HTC is cool with us unlocking and customizing our own ROMs (well props to BadBoyz they always run my HTCs). That just spreads the icing thick over my cake. So if you haven't yet, take one small lick of this deliciousness and you'll be in for a tasty treat that deserves a dunk in milk. HaHa Oreo coming !!!!!!!!!

Want to buy a new U11?
Wait until next week for HTC Green is Good SALE $100 off.
October 2 thru 8
"HTC’s ‘Green is Good’ Week is Back, $100 Off U11 ($549)" With HTC Gift Pack.
Details: http://www.droid-life.com/2017/09/29/htc-green-is-good-deals/

The device is great and it performs excellent but 2 things are ****ed up:
1. No headphone jack (i regret buying this phone) and I will never buy another phone without 3.5mm, I am seriously considering to go back to sammy.
2. Bezels..... but maybe we can omit this point because it sounds great without headphones.

My first HTC phone, and I don´t like it.... 2 Problems... ram management is to agressive...games are always closing in the background.. I had never such problems with my OnePlus 3t or LG G5...
And you can´t deactivate the buttons (backbutton for example...) In the OnePlus 3t you can deactivate it and show the buttons on the screen...
I have to sell the phone...

I'm not sure but I think I have the latest software versions...
Software number : 1.27.401.5
Kernel: 4.4.21-perf-g26fe3e7
I did also changed the option that the game didn't optimize the battery life... I have the feeling that now it's a little bit better, but the game are still restarting after I come back to the game..

Hi Aergern, I also have the solar red and I'm none too thrilled with the pink effect you mention. I was hoping for a more rust orange appearance, like many of the online pics appear. Anyway, before I spend the money for a skin, I'm curious what your looks like with the Phantom Skins Ultra Clear. Do you have a couple pics to share? Thanks

401.5 definitely got some memory leak, I was with that stock rom before I rooted my U11. 401.5 isn't the latest, I received the OTA on Aug. I'm now with LeeDroid rom on 401.10 lag free......

Audio outta this beauty is just amazing!

Iv had a htc tattoo forsythia htc I had iv had wildfire s one s x one x+ sensation se htc one m7 m8 m9 u11 and a desire s lol I just love the u11 iv had 2 of them lol

Sprint's enticements lured me to the S7edge a year and a half ago. Paid list to get the U11 (Sprint treats a 25 year customer like dirt) when the battery fattened up like a balloon and popped the sealed unit open, "No insurance so sorry pal." Back to the HTC U11 at a stiff price and it is worth every penny. Boy is this a sweet machine.

No innovation from one plus 5

The expectation from one plus 5 was high, when it was being released. It seems that one plus is not putting any innovative ideas in their UI or overall system experience. They should at least put some new ideas to their user experience. Please vote and let them know...

think you're being a little harsh mate, there are a lot of qualities which add up to an experience that you don't get from any other device.
Speed: The fastest phone there is, bar none.
Audio: Loudest phone i've ever had, couple that with viper audio and it's even louder
Battery: Best battery i've ever had on any phone including the note 4 which was supposed to be superb.
Screen: Jelly effect aside (i don't get this problem) 1+ going for a 1080p screen is the way it should be, a 2k screen on a 5 inch device? What is the point.
Build: Strong casing covering the phone and a non bendy screen
Software: For the first time ever, I've actually contemplated not rooting my device (it's rooted now btw ) Reason being is you can theme and change things which you can't on other devices.
Camera: Ok this one is a bit of a sore subject, I actually rate the camera, i've took some superb shots with it.
Charging: phenomenally quick charging, bested by none. (Thanks @3DSammy )
Overall when you put this together you get a package which very few can compete with

Not everyone agrees with you. When you speak of user experience, do you mean something like TouchWiz? No thanks. As close to stock as possible is what people in this forum prefer.

The only thing I'd add to your list is the phenomenal Dash charging. Just today or yesterday XDA posted a comparison of various brand's charging technologies and the OnePlus Dash charging came out on top. When I bought the OP5 and first charged it that was the very first thing that WOWed me. I definitely agree with the rest of your list. Maybe add the OnePlus companies cooperative attitude to developers with a TWRP recovery available by the end of the very first weekend after release. Its my Nexus series replacement. As times gone by (I ordered the OP5 two hours after the streamed announcement), OOS with multiple OTA releases and its general almost stock experience has reinforced my confidence in this purchase.

OP5 to me is the Nexus that I've missed.... It's speedy and utilitarian... The pixel didn't appeal to me and I think maybe alot of the og Nexus fans too....
If you don't like Nexus, I'm guessing you won't like OP....

Couldn't disagree more with the OP. This is the best phone I've ever owned. And the UI is basically vanilla android but with see very useful additions. The kind of additions I used to flash custom ROMs to get.

I was a successful customer of one plus 3 and 3T... I loved these 2 very much as these were best of their time.... Except dual camera setup which is still not as stable as it should be and Dash charger, I do not see big differences in from previous ones...

Undoubtedly it is good phone but not the best of his time... So many bugs still present in software.... No beta update for one plus 5.... No latest security patches... Even my op3 has latest security patch as compared to my one plus 5..

You do realize it is a small company and they kinda have to update 3 phones now. This takes a bit o time. Besides, they probably invest most of their resources on the Oreo update now.
Do you really think Samsung offers better updates?
As for the differences between last year's model and this year's model - there never is a big differences between those. Generally speaking. They are more like incremental upgrades.
Let's take the S7 and S8. The biggest difference is the screen and that's pretty much it.
In my opinion, one should always skip one phone generation to get the best results. If you had the 3T, there was no reason to get the 5 now. It's better to wait for the 6 as that may be a better upgrade. Same applies to Samsung, LG, HTC and everything else.

You expect OnePlus to innovate? They've barely been around for five years.

Please compare this to another phone and put the the other ahead!! What phone out ever has no problems? The fact that your 3 is still getting updates in a timely manner is a good thing.

The reason why we got a OnePlus is partly because we prefer as close as possible AOSP experience with a few value added enhancements
If you're into UI and stuff, you're definitely looking the wrong phone and should consider what Samsung or Xiaomi has to offer instead

hahah , yeah.
Damn people, they want stupid gadget but dont want to pay for it.
For many people, the op5 is perfect because it's simple, still have capacitive button ( which make the android signature imo), simple = the parts will be cheap on ebay, and we dont pay for stupid random gadget.
NO! REMOVING 3.5mm jack is NOT innovation.
Why spend $$$ to get a fcking edge screen that will cost 500$ to replace ?
IP67 , when 95% of people wont get close to water with their phone, and 99% of them never drop their phone in water anyway.
op5 is innovative in a way that they give you high spec with minimal parts. Imho, this make a durable phone (5-6 years easy), and as we can notice, the earth need a break of overconsuming rightnow.

Coming from a Pixel XL, the design of this phone is much better; feels much nicer in the hand and isn't as heavy.
There is tons more development available for this device compared to the XL, and for a company that is so young, they are doing an amazing job.
Yeah, the camera didn't live up to the hype, but it's not a horrible camera by any means.
I am getting the same user experience as my Pixel XL, and even better than the XL in some areas as well - all for significantly less than what I paid for the XL.
That being said, I definitely don't think it's reasonable to say there is no innovation, despite the 5 looking similar to an iPhone. The iPhone's design isn't bad at all in my opinion, so that carries over to the 5.
All in all, I'm really loving this phone and I do not regret selling my XL to get this I am open minded and will see how the Pixel 2 is though, but just in terms of development, I don't know if I'd switch back.

Honestly can't see the pixel 2 having anything ground breaking that would make me want to move over.
The camera will be great but OS and performance, stamina and build will be very similar.
Tbh I can see the 1+5 beating it in terms of speed.
Guess we'll see.
Plus if the pixel goes for a 2k screen then you'll see how much of a benefit a 1080p screen gives you in regards to performance and battery longevity.

i always viewed oneplus devices as extremely minimal. I know, you know and oneplus knows that if you want an innovative UI you can download it from the play store. Think of the thing as a modular phone on the software side. I like the thing because it works really well and charges nice and fast doesnt slow down and remembers every app right where i was unless the app itself has a background refresh built in. Its a good phone and should be treated as such.

sure, it's innovative! you get to choose between Wifi AND cellular data. the screen protectors lay perfectly flat on the screen, which is also flat. this phone is small! it fits perfectly in all kinds of pockets. the screen lights up in the dark so you can see it at night. you can install multiple applications without removing the old ones. on top of all that - wireless discharging!
seriously, you are living in the era of the Jetsons (assuming you're old enough to remember that show). splitting hairs about a company's R&D standards is so moot when you have a super [email protected]$$ computer in your pocket. just don't buy it! or return it! move along!
