I bought this phone a week ago, upgrading from my 4 year old Note 5 and the first thing i noticed about it is that it's literally a dust magnet.
But i guess this is a small inconvenience.
The phone works great despite being nearly 3 years old.
It's especially good because i hate all of these phones with notches/cutouts and those giant screens without bezels.
5 to 5.5 inch screens is where it's at for me, i don't want my screen to be tiny but nor do i want it to be giant.
Hopefully this phone lasts me atleast 2 years and hopefully next year they'll start implementing the selfie cameras beneath the display so i don't have to deal with the notches, cutouts or those mechanisms that can break.
Sadly htc is dead so i'm gonna have to go back to Samsung eventually, buy their future S30 or S40 depending if they actually put the selfie camera bellow the display like i said before
I got u11 Dec 2019. I have not enjoyed because almost all the apps keep stopping through the greater part of each day. Added to this is that it switches of at will even when one is on a call. Pls I need clue to these issues.

But the phone was looking brand new. Sold it for 50 to a repair shop that needed parts.
Tref, 25 Jan 2020Any news about android 10 update?Sorry to break it to you but it seems that the company gave up all together. It may come back though. So far no plans whatsoever.
Any news about android 10 update?
I got this phone brand new last April, it was a steal at just $150 USD, and boy did I make the right decision!
When I got it it was on its stock Android 7, so I immediately got it to 8 and this past November I got the OTA update to pie.
Here are some pointers:
. The camera is amazing (get the Google Cam)
. The screen is sharp and great for an LCD
. The sound, OMG the sound is one the stand out features for this, just make sure to use the included earphones
. It's speedy and has handled everything I've thrown at it although RAM management is not the best
. Finger print scanner is super fast and responsive
. Battery life is just okay, great at the beginning but now just okay.
I'm really happy with it and will not get over hyped over anything else until it's completely necessary, not during 2020 at least.
Tipsy, 18 Dec 2019I just switched from htc u11 life to htc u11 i so much love my new phone but my challenge here... moreI have my u11 updated to Android 9.0 early this December, such an amazing phone
I just switched from htc u11 life to htc u11 i so much love my new phone but my challenge here is that my old u11 life is on andriod 9.1 while my new u11 is on andriod 7.1 and I've checking for software update everyday since i bought it but all to no avail.
Is it that the update is not available in my region (Nigeria)? Any useful information will be well appreciated.
Regards,
Tunde.

GuyB, 20 Nov 2019I bought an HTC U11 on October 27, 2017 for $ 1033 from HTC Canada direct. 4 months later, it ... morebought the phone in 2017 August for just 400 EUR, got a discount. Didn't have any major problems, still using it today. Of course after 2 years the battery is worse. The phone is just perfect for me. I was afraid after jerryrig videos, that it's very fragile but dropped it many times, on asphalt too, and it didn't break. Maybe you just got a faulty device...
I bought an HTC U11 on October 27, 2017 for $ 1033 from HTC Canada direct. 4 months later, it had "the swollen battery disease": The underside of the phone takes off, phone barely works, doesn't charge, etc.
I did an RMA and they took 1 month to change the battery, i had to pay for postage ...
May 2019, my phone started to degenerate: The sound of speakers was all garbled, the "soft touch" buttons like "back, task, return" work very badly (and finally not at all), the data does not pass over the USB port nor it can charge ... It's like all the bottom of the phone is dying ...
I called HTC Canada, and they told me: "sorry sir, your device is no longer on warranty". I ask how much it would cost to change the mainboard: I'm told it'd be around $375 ... I checked on EBay: I can buy a HTC U11 "unopened" for $250 ... So i'll have to just throw it to trash. Obviously, it's the first and last HTC for me...

Personally very happy with phone. Fantastic design, excellent battery, very good camera and beautiful screen. The only real problem with the phone is that it's very slippery. Without a cover case, high risk of dropping the phone and getting everything shattered!
Dear all, I am currently facing an issue with my HTC U11 not charging (% not increasing & remain stagnant) or charge very slowly after trying a multiple of times daily.
This issue also persist when I shut down my phone to charge where the red charging light will lid up and after 3 second it will dim so as the screen charging animation and restart the whole process.
I believe it is not a hardware issue as when the battery charges to 100% it drains normally and while it charges it is not any warmer than usual. I hope my case is the same as reported in theandroidguy website posted on the 4th August 2019 where I am not the only person facing the same issue.
