I've been using the HTC U Ultra for a little over a full week now. It's the latest "flagship" (I know, that word) from HTC, and the specifications generally would support such a classification. A Snapdragon 821 processor, 5.7" Quad HD LCD display, 4GB of...

Subjective, yes, but I love the highgloss glass back on this phone. This blue color in particular is just stunning, If you like big phones, this is a big phone with a big screen (two screens, in fact), HTC takes an everlighter hand to Android with each pa...
It sucks. I'm getting 6070% of the battery life I would with a Pixel XL with this phone. This is unacceptable, and it's definitely a result of the awful display (5.7"ticker) to battery (3000mAh) ratio, I have never seen a phone's screen get scratched as e...
The HTC U Ultra is not a bad phone. It's kind of a good one, in some ways. But here's the thing: even on the best day, the U Ultra is just what I'd call decent. At the $750 level, that's absolutely not living up to the competition. For $20 more, you can b...

When HTC showed up in January with the HTC U Ultra, we were skeptical about the entire schtick. While the phone has a solid set of specs and is quite the looker, the unlocked sales pitch that included a 2-month pre-order period was odd. We actually call...

The fans won't want to hear it, but HTC has made a misstep with the HTC U Ultra. Flagship follow-up to last year's HTC 10, it promises high-style and plenty of functionality to go with its premium $749 price tag, and there's no denying that its high-gloss...

I'm not gonna lie, I like big phones. Before I became a full-time Android phone reviewer, I divided my time equally between the Nexus 6P and the iPhone 7 Plus, and I was more than a little bummed that I never got a chance to try out the Galaxy Note7. But...

All in all, the U Ultra is an excellent phone. The biggest thing it has against it at this point is HTC's unwillingness to market its devices properly. The smartphone market is full of fierce competition, and year after year, HTC just seemingly cannot kee...
