Red HTC U 11 appears, virtual render leaks

-


We’ve got a new scoop on the HTC’s upcoming flagship device, the HTC U 11. We’ve already heard the device will come with a 3.5mm headphone jack to USB-C adapter, which directly implies that the device won’t feature a headphone jack. What, are you surprised?

Anyway, a new leak comes to us today from reliable rumor leakster, Onleaks. The HTC U 11 is featured in a rendered video with a bright red color scheme, which looks quite “hot”, just in time for the summer. The backside is the just as glossy-red as the HTC U Ultra was glossy-blue.

Anyway, if we are to believe this is the HTC U 11, then the renders should be spot-on, as they are based on CAD (Computer-assisted-design) drawings that leaked either from the factory or from a case maker. This is the first time we’re able to get a really good look at the device and the placement of the various buttons, sensors, and ports.


Starting with the top we see a slotted mic-hole, across from that is a round pin-hole for ejecting the SIM/microSD card tray.

On the bottom, we see the USB-C port, a long-slotted speaker grille, much like the Google Pixel’s, and two similar holes: one slotted and one pin-holed. One is the in-call mic, though we’re not sure what the other would be given its juxtaposition, perhaps another noise-cancelling mic? As a reminder, final hardware could vary.


Moving on, the left edge has no buttons or trays, though will be touch sensitive to be able to use HTC’s squeezable gestures. Moving on again, the right side has the standard HTC layout of hardware keys, the power button sits just under a volume rocker.

Bringing it over to the front, the fingerprint scanner lives just under the display. Notice how the display spills over the edges? Know that this isn’t a curved display, upon close inspection, we can tell that the display is flat (and supposedly 5.45-inches) and what we see spill over the edge is the bezel. This gives the illusion of a curved screen, something that some other manufacturers have been doing since Samsung started the curve trend.

On the glossy red back, there’s a 12MP camera with a round camera ring; by contrast, the HTC Ultra has a square one with rounded corners. What we see missing though, is the laser-assist sensor window from the HTC 10, either HTC has scrapped it, or the render was based off older CAD drawings.

The HTC U 11 is expected to use the latest Snapdragon 835 chip from Qualcomm and have 4GB/6GB of RAM. A 3,000 mAh battery is unchanged from the HTC 10, so we are hoping that consumption with be comparable with the SD835. Otherwise, a 12MP camera is on the back, with a 16MP selfie camera.

After the release of the HTC U Ultra, many were critical of the use (or lack thereof) of space within the device. Let’s hope HTC kept the bezels to a decent size for 2017.

Updated Google Contacts app makes it easier to get rid of duplicates

Google is pushing out an updated version of its contacts management app, bringing some of the features available in the web version to the Android app. The v 1.5 update reorganizes the user interface of Google Contacts. Instead of the two tabs – all and favorites – the app now just displays your entire contact list, with a sidebar menu available via the hamburger button on the left. Opening that up reveals a new section for managing duplicate contacts. That’s a feature that was present on the web app of Contacts , but the process was more convoluted on the Android app. You can now also add labels to your contacts, making it easy to organize large contact lists based on groups, for things like family, work, or school. That’s another feature that was present on the web app and it’s now finally making the jump to the Android app, a place where it’s actually more likely to be used. Google Contacts 1.5 is currently rolling out to all users, so it should land on your

LG Display used CES 2018 in Las Vegas to officially unveil its new OLED displays - one of them being a 65-inch 4K flexible screen that can be rolled like a newspaper. The other is an 88” 8K OLED panel that we told you about last week. The flexibility of the 65” OLED display makes it easier to transport or store in the corner. Its small size allows for better space utilization, meaning you can take the TV anytime, anywhere and “enjoy bright, high-resolution content”. LG Display will also showcase its latest upgrades of the IPS technology. The panels now have IPS nano-color, “which expresses rich colors using nanoscale high-color reproduction particles, and IPS technology, which increases the transmittance and reduces the intensity of light reflected on the panel.”, said the company in a press release.
