UTC Unveils Worlds Best Smartphone Camera
Using an updated processor, auto-HDR boost aims to provide quick HDR image capture without the lag that’s normally associated with multiple-shot photography, and HTC is also promising multi-axis optical image stabilization and a speedy autofocus of 0.3 seconds. Users looking for more control over their images will also be able to take settings into their own hands manually, as well as shoot in raw formats.
As is becoming industry-standard, video recording will be in qualities up to 4K and there’s an option for full HD 120fps shooting for slow-motion shots.
On the other side of the screen, the HTC U11’s front-facing camera features a 16MP system with f/2 lens, and comes with an ‘UltraPixel’ mode that’s meant to improve low-light performance. Video recorded from the front camera will be in 1080p full HD.
With a test score of 90, the HTC U11 camera technically knocks the Google Pixel (which had a score of 89) off its top spot to become DxOMark’s highest-scoring smartphone, though it should be noted that with a tiny difference of only 1 point, any improvements could be seen as marginal.
Aside from the camera, other key features of the HTC U11 include:
- Android version 7.1 at launch, with HTC Sense
- Edge Sense, a quirky new way of interacting with your phone – via ‘squeezing’
- 5.5″ UHD glass screen
- 3000mAh battery
- Qualcomm® Snapdragon 835 Mobile Platform, 64-bit octa-core, up to 2.45GHz
- 4GB on-board RAM and 64GB storage
- Access to HTC Sense, Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa (where available)
The HTC U11 is scheduled to be available in June this year
