      Pretty good and flagship specs, but way too overpriced. Nothing out of the ordinary from htc

        What sets HTC apart from other Android phones like LG, Sony, oppo, xiaomi, lenavo etc are
        1. Reliable screen (good brightness n contrast), check the v20 n U ultra comparison. G6 vs U ultra in terms of brightness n contrast.
        2. Reliable audio quality (loudness n clarity via headphone). The v20 seems to be louder based on what is connected it seems and G6 is a goner.
        3. Stable reliable software which doesn't need reboots. The software is also uniform and aesthetically good looking. Talking about Sense.

        Now whatever do we do with smartphone, we look at it screen, we hear it and we are dependent on its functionality (software). Basic things and fundamental things. So first, these three should be good in a smartphone.

        Now Samsung is catching up on these(audio) and it has catches up in screen quality. But the ones with qualcomm processor are uselessly quiet. One with Exynos are having loudness "above average"(Ex s7 edge) but we don't know if it's the same with s8 Exynos version.

        Lg, after reading boot loops in g3/4 and v10, because the soc is not soldered properly to motherboard !!! I do not consider it as a smartphone manufacturer.

        Sony's camera, audio and screen are dangerously hit or miss even if you buy their flagship.

        So, yeah, HTC is still relevant and I have would buy it rather than others.

                  Galaxy Note5: 3G TALK TIME 28:34h, WEB BROWSING 10:43h, VIDEO PLAYBACK 13:51h
                  and 85h ENDURANCE RATING.

                  HTC U Ultra: 3G TALK TIME 22:57h, WEB BROWSING 8:39h, VIDEO PLAYBACK 7:44h
                  and 81h ENDURANCE RATING.

                  How is it possible only 4 hours endurance rating difference between these two devices? Even many other reviewers are complaining about poor battery life on U Ultra.

                      ''And while it is not part of the current "mini-bezel" trend, the bezels are fairly slim. ''

                        Not gonna lie that main camera is right up there with the best of them. Battery life is pretty average for 2017 if the price is ok this is an easy recommend.

HTC one max: 22:13h, 11:20h, 13:11h > 81h HTC ... moreThe Endurance rating is roughly the time the phone will last when you use it for one hour of calling, one hour of video watching and one hour of web browsing per day. It also takes into account the standby battery draw which is a rather important component as it's almost constant throughout the time the phone is on.
                          So call+web+video DOES NOT equal Endurance rating.
                          Call+web+video+standby power draw equals the Endurance rating.

                            Anonymous, 21 Mar 20178h of web browsing and video playback is impressive in 2017 ? Come one, guy. Almost all of t... moreI'm not comparing with any phone, and I like Mi5 more than this overpriced product. I'm just impressed by the optimization by both HTC and Qualcomm, because battery is very small compared to the screen size which is near 6 inches when always on display is also counted and pixels more than QHD. Htc 10 sd820 +5.2"QHD +3000mah = 66h
                            HTC U ultra :Sd821 +5.7" QHD +always on display =81h
                            Note 7 : exynos (which has much better battery life than snapdragon)
                            8890+ 5.7" QHD +3500mah =90h
                            And also, overall ratings I still say are impressive. No Matter how much u r using the phone and what is your usage pattern in terms of browsing, video etc, the standby Time wil always matter so it's most important.

                                      I was surprised by the 81 hours endurance but it must be because of the excellent stand-by times since the individual browsing and video times are pretty average.
