HTC U11 + detailed evaluation: stand-up after winning a row?

'First half of the year + second half of the year' Since the Samsung Galaxy S and Galaxy Note series of dual-flagship strategy opened the first, more and more mobile phone manufacturers have adopted a similar approach, such as LG's first half of each year G Series + second half of the V series, such as Huawei's first half of each year in the P series + second half of the Mate series.

Not difficult to find that the use of dual-flagship mobile phone manufacturers have basically copied the Samsung model, the first half of the launch of a small screen flagship machine, the second half of the piled Mengliao, released a tough specification big screen flagship this year, HTC Has also become a member of the double flagship team, they brought a large screen U11 upgrade version - U11 +. Evaluation of this issue is naturally around the phone and start.

In 2017, the concept of 'full screen' became popular in the mobile phone circle.The authentic full screen mobile phone is the phone with 'full screen' on the front of the phone - of course, the reality is very skinny, the so-called full screen Mobile phones, basically just use a 18: 9 screen; plainly, 'full screen' concept to the practical application, it becomes a longer screen, narrow the border of the phone.

HTC U11 + as the second half of the flagship aircraft, of course, is also equipped with a 18: 9 screen, the panel features a new generation of 'ham' Super LCD 6. Compared to the popular OLED panel, SLCD panel display softer, Less damage to the eyesight.My main previous machine is the Vivo X20 with the AMOLED screen, and after changing to the U11 +, the feeling of the screen suddenly felt a lot of comfort.

Now the use of Super LCD panel phone almost disappeared, you can buy a new SLCD screen only HTC one; but this does not mean U11 + SLCD is not a good screen from the actual experience point of view, U11 + screen viewing angle and Contrast outstanding performance, support for DCI-P3 wide color gamut it also does not lose color saturation AMOLED Although smear phenomenon is still inevitable, but to be fair, if not and AMOLED panel to deliberately contrast, U11 + this A slight smear of the screen is hard to have any effect on you.

Display accuracy, HTC U11 + screen size of 5.99 inches, resolution up to 2880 * 1440, is already 2.5K level, which brings the pixel density of 537ppi.In general, the phone screen as long as more than 400ppi can already meet the daily Application, so the U11 + screen is entirely for the pursuit of the ultimate player born.This screen white balance slightly green, green saturation will be relatively high, typical HTC tuning (laughs).

In addition, HTC U11 + screen supports HDR10, which allows the HTC U11 + watch video content presents more screen detail, more realistic colors, the video content and the real world perception gap between greatly reduced.However, the current U11 + has not yet 'Unlock' feature, HTC said they will join the HDR10 by pushing the system update in December.For the current domestic environment, support HDR10 video content is still hard to find state, whether it is HTC U11 +, iPhone X or Samsung Galaxy Note 8, are only for the time being the HDR10 as a display.

However, in the days when Apple started to switch to OLED, the HTC U11 + presented us with everything that a top-of-the-line LCD screen should have, and in the industrial design, the phone fits perfectly with what we did with a top flagship Look forward to the front 2.5D arc glass + back 3D glass + metal frame constitutes its basic form, regardless of the front or back, the glass cover and the metal part of the docking where there is no exposed plastic wrapping situation; compared to The dual-glass U11 and the new U11 +, though suspicious of 'driving in reverse' on the touchpad, have thus gained narrower left and right borders of the screen, apparently HTC's intentional approach to 'full screen' perception.

Speaking of industrial design, HTC handset from the U11 began to support IP67-level body waterproof and dustproof, U11 + today to support the higher IP68. This is consumer electronics devices can enjoy the highest level of waterproof and dustproof, which means you You can take the time to swim without U11 + take the water to take pictures. It should be noted that if you accidentally dropped the U11 + metal cover or glass cover deformation, or disassemble operation, water resistance will cease Therefore, be careful when using everything that advertises waterproof.

Like the U11, the U11 + has a built-in pressure sensor in its metal mid-bezel, and the "squeeze phone" has become an iconic operation for HTC phones. In addition to the short-term pressure and long-press operation, the U11 + has joined the Edge Launcher and third- Within the press operation. To draw the following key points, let's take a look at these two HTC U11 + only have the powerful features.

Edge Launcher, more like a cell phone's control panel. In any interface squeeze a phone, Edge Launcher will jump out. The top half of the page is the calendar, you can slide left and right to switch the month, you can click on a Day to view the schedule; the second half is a turntable, the turntable provides 22 icon position, you can put the commonly used APP and control center switch added later, open the mobile data, open WeChat microblogging like daily operations , You can squeeze directly to solve, do not have to pull down the notice center twice, do not have to go back to the desktop to find APP icon, very simple.

Third-party APP squeeze operation is also very useful, especially for HTC U11 + this support IP68 dustproof waterproof phone, is the absolute underwater weapon.As we all know, the water touch screen will fail, and when you squeeze Instead of touching the phone, and the perfect operation of the phone, this moment you are underwater focus (manual funny).

Select a third-party APP in the settings of the border squeeze, you can start to set up a squeeze operation for it.We take Netease cloud music as an example, select Netease cloud music, the phone will take you to Netease cloud music APP In this case, you just need to click on the red plus sign at the top of the screen, and then mark the screen where you want to squeeze instead of touch and name it.

As we can see, the operation we use is the play button at the bottom of NetEase's cloud music interface.After setting, when we enter the Netease cloud music, just squeeze the phone, you can let it start playing.

With the addition of the Edge Launcher and the in-app squeeze operation, the squeeze logic of the HTC phone has been able to replace quite a few common operations and, as we said before, these are really useful underwater applications - like you And the girlfriend with the HTC U11 + go swimming, first double-click the power button shortcut to open the camera, and then use the long-press operation to switch to the front camera, and then short-voltage mobile phone trigger the shutter, you can complete a two underwater Selfie - the entire operation down, completely without the need for a touch screen HTC border extrusion proved the feasibility of smart phones underwater easy to use, if using domestic mobile phone manufacturers blow, it is likely to 'redefine the phone Mode of operation 'of the black technology.

As a manufacturer of the first generation of Nexus and the first and second generation Pixel, HTC and Google have maintained a good relationship, they are exceptionally enthusiastic about adapting Android new version of their own models , Not only the old model can be continuously upgraded two or three years, the new Android adaptation speed is quite fast HTC U11 + based on Android 8 Oreo custom Sense 9 operating system, which is currently you can find the latest Android version.

Let's take a look at what exactly Sense 9 can do International manufacturers Android models have not been able to achieve any real 'localized service integration', Samsung TouchWiz and Samsung Experience has been doing, but accidentally made almost Is the most complicated operating system customized version of the Android system; LG and Sony both are completely give up, 'I do not do, you love to use it.' HTC Sense 9 for the Chinese people added a Chinese version of the Sense Artificial Intelligence Assistant, and And Baidu cooperation custom small voice assistant.

The latter is what does not need to be explained, while the former and Huawei EMUI scenario intelligence, vivo Funtouch OS Wyatt intelligence are more similar, are judged by your habits to provide you with the necessary time periods Service content; and in the way of presentation, HTC Sense Artificial Intelligence Assistant notification push and card integration methods are closer to vivo Funtouch Yue enjoy smart (in fact, HTC in June this year, the first out, it should be said that vivo is closer to HTC) , Service card display, functional design, almost exactly the same.

All in all, the majority of mobile phone manufacturers in the international integration of functional services on the sloppy section, HTC, although only provides voice assistant and AI message assistant, but the two functions in actual experience are regarded as good, the interface design is nothing relative Sluggishness in the UI as a whole Compared with MIUI, which integrates encyclopedic functions, Sense of ham sausage can not score high, at least to pass.

However, the most troublesome point of international mobile phone manufacturers is not the integration of functional services (there is really nothing to do), but for the domestic management of rogue apps. Looking at the domestic application environment, a large number of rogue permanent, chain start, since HTC U11 + hardware specifications have been very tough, 6GB storage is designed to take care of people entirely; but in the BAT family bucket of these snake threats, Sense this completely unable to do the background process Forced management of the system seems completely powerless.

In a week-long experience, HTC U11 + daily average memory footprint at about 4.5GB, unmanageable background will bring unnecessary power loss, traffic loss, not only HTC phones, all non-domestic Android models are required Pay more attention to the use of timely use of black-box and other tools to solve the rogue background.

Take a look at some of the exciting content for the pasta, such as taking pictures.To this year, HTC still do not have double shot, but before the U11 has been demonstrated with powerful performance, single camera can also pick faultless imaging quality spike All dual camera models. HTC U11 + camera hardware specifications and the same U11, are IMX362 sensor + F / 1.7 large aperture lens + optical image stabilization; not only U11, with almost the same set of hardware specifications in the Samsung Galaxy S7 / S8 and vivo Xplay6 who have played super God level performance, it can be said that the basis for excellent camera phones.

From this daylight proofs color reproduction, dynamic range and resolution of view, HTC U11 + IMX362 features the most vividly - high saturation, high contrast, 12 million pixels high resolution, the use of IMX362 sensor Of the models have most of the photos taken with similar characteristics, and HTC U11 + '362 taste even heavier than the U11, proof of deliberately pulled the contrast of the operation traces are quite obvious.

High contrast imaging means that the lack of dynamic range, and as HTC's flagship machine, U11 + HDR performed well in this large backlighting scene does not appear dark outline around the bright side of the situation, the dark color saturation, However, the HDR proofs look still partial gray, the availability is indeed high, the film needs to be improved.

A few months ago, the performance of the HTC U11's 'Night Vision' was staggering, and this time we also tested the dark-imaging of the U11 +. Thanks to the very wide range of displacement compensation for optical image stabilization we can easily shoot at 1 / 5s shutter speed Under the film to obtain ultra high rate, very pretty shot.U11 + present photos also have a share of the taste of international manufacturers, there is color resolution, but in terms of noise reduction some informality, painting the screen approach is not enough delicate. It is worth mentioning that, HTC U11 + at night there will be a serious warm white balance situation, what Huang Shao, proof of the lights under the golden light building, comparable to a huge gold brick. This is a millet will not even Humble mistakes, we hope HTC can quickly fix it in the next system update.

HTC U11 + the last bright spot, needless to say we all know - 3930mAh large battery, not only U11 has become a rare large international manufacturers of battery models, but also more than a domestic 'Snapdragon 835 model maximum battery '. 18W QC 3.0 flash charge with a fast charge header is HTC's standard since last year, the quality of the charging head is quite good.

However, U11 + was awkwardly upset during the test run, and we ran a regular 5-hour overweight test for it, leaving 21% less battery power after it was run, especially the 1-hour 1080P video recording session, One-time loss of 27% of the power, extremely disadvantageous.In other words, as long as the HTC U11 + opened the camera, is the absolute sense of the electric tiger.

After seeing this result, we are very unwilling to take U11 and database U11 scores made a comparison, can only be said to be bowel powder heartbroken the same regular 5-hour ultra-heavy battery life test, equipped with 3000mAh battery U11 Be able to run out of this year's Snapdragon 835 flagship should be the standard, and equipped with nearly 4000mAh battery U11 + but only and Snapdragon 821 flagship battery life remained flat.Only the screen of this one hardware specifications do not cause such a big battery life The negative impact, or a word, I hope HTC in the next system update to do a good job to do optimization, as the only large battery Xiaolong 835 models, this year's top flagship battery can only play you.

All in all, HTC U11 + is a lover and hate flagship machine - the foundation is of course good enough, features are also very interesting features, hardware performance picks out the problem, the perception of the hand also tends to the extreme; but for now, 'either Into a machine can also destroy a machine 'system optimization has actually become its short board.If it seriously to play its due strength, 4999 yuan' plus the amount of no price 'of the competitiveness of no doubt this year, HTC steady, With the good products no longer die, we've been able to stop the wave of blood. We also look forward to HTC being able to stay alive and continue to bring us exciting and amazing mobile products in the future.
