HTC Android Announcement

HTC joined the trend of tall displays with the U11+ arrival in November and now jumps on the hype train of Face Unlock with the HTC U11 EYEs, announced today.

The phone has the same 18:9 6” screen as the flagship, but comes with the upper midrange Qualcomm 652 chipset and dual front cameras. The back of the phone sports a 12 MP UltraPixel OIS camera with f/1.7 aperture. It can shoot slow-mo 1080p videos at 120 fps.

The dual selfie cameras are the EYEs of the new phone. They are 5 MP with f/2.2 aperture and are used for the Face Unlock feature that became trendy again after the iPhone X came around. The dual-cam setup also supports Portrait Mode, artificial background blurring (aka Bokeh effect) and plenty of AR Snapchat-like stickers.
