Samsung, on the other hand, is known for the S or Galaxy on its products ‘name like S7, Galaxy S8, Galaxy Note 8 among others.

As HTC is gearing up for its upcoming unveiling, the only information we have initially about its flagship device is that it will have U in its name.

Recent information from a serial tipster and leaker Evan Blass revealed that the device would be officially named HTC U 11.

However, it is still possible that given the latest flagships OLED display panel, this one might also0 have one.

It was also speculated to have an Android Nougat 7.1 for its operating system. Moreover, HTC U 11 is expected to sport a 12-megapixel rear camera and 16-megapixel front facing snapper. Reportedly, it will have 4GB of RAM and 3000 mAh battery pack. Recently, it was leaked that the device will drop the 3.5mm audio jack.

For its features, one highlight is its exclusive Edge Sense or Sense Touch. While the company has not made any comment about this, it was previously reported that it would be a feature embedded in its frames where users can interact with the device by squeezing it.
