If these details are accurate it would make the HTC U12 the worlds third phone to come with a 4K resolution screen behind the Sony Z5 and XZ, and given that the HTC U11 is a full-screen phone the U12 may be the first full-screen flagship 4K flagship.
In other news, a more affordable version of the HTC U11 will go on sale in January next year. This Lite version of the phone will receive a 5.99inch 2160 x 1080 display, and debut the Snapdragon 660 chipset.
OK… So… We have another 4K flagship coming up… I understand if the battery is 6k and above and if the screen is more than 6 inches, but, otherwise, why do I need a 4K phone if even my monitor and TV are only 2K?
I agree – no one needs a 4k screen. And more to the point, no one needs the massive battery drain of a 4k screen. Lower the resolution and stick a 5mm-thick massive battery in there instead, then we’ll talk.
