HTC latest news: HTC 11 will be released soon; three more smartphones will be released first quarter of 2017
HTC is expected to release the HTC 11 sometime in April this year and it is believed to be one of the best phones to be released in the market. Not only that, the company is also rumored to release a total of three brand-new smartphones in the first quarter of 2017 alone.
Reports reveal that three smartphones rumored to come out in the next three months are from the One, Ocean, and Desire series. One of the three devices will be launched this coming Jan. 12 at HTC's "For U" event. It is said that the new Ocean model will now become the company's flagship device. It is also believed that the new Ocean device will be an oversized smartphone similar to Samsung's devices in the Note series. Moreover, it is also believed that the Ocean device will come in several variants that include the Ocean Note and Ocean Master.
Meanwhile, the upcoming HTC 11 is rumored to be priced at £549 and £599 in the United Kingdom. Furthermore, the forthcoming device is expected to feature the latest chipset from Qualcomm, the Snapdragon 835, which supports the Quick Charge 4.0. The Snapdragon 835 will come with an 8 GB RAM, but it is said that the HTC 11 will only carry 6 GB of RAM.
Qualcomm's Snapdragon 835, which was announced at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2017, registered 25 percent better performance in terms of faster graphics rendering. In addition, it only eats up half of the total power consumption of the Snapdragon 801. The new chipset supports 60 times more colors than the previous chipset that came before it. The new processor also features camera improvements with faster auto focus.
As for the HTC 11's camera features, it is said that it will retain its 12-megapixel rear camera and an 8-megapixel front camera. Consumers previously had complaints about the HTC 10's camera functions as it lacked consistency. The upcoming design is also expected to feature a 5.5-inch Quad-HD panel that will result to sharp images in spite of the size.
Consumers who are interested in the forthcoming device would have to look out for more revelations regarding the HTC 11 in the next few weeks.
