Commenting on the launch of HTC U Ultra and Play handsets, Ernest Doku, mobiles expert at Uswitch.com, says:
“HTC has long been rumoured to be working on a smartphone that matches the expansively proportioned, but ill-fated, Samsung Galaxy Note range – and with its U Ultra and Play handsets, it’s done just that.
“HTC has always built devices that turn heads, and with their slick-looking glass finish, these two are no different – although it’s to be seen whether the dual ‘notification’ screen offers much in the practicality stakes.
“Otherwise, these handsets tick all the boxes from a looks and functionality standpoint.
“Their in-built intelligence software – known as Sense Companion – brings HTC up to speed with the rapidly expanding and evolving AI-assisted world.
“Although, as our most recent research indicates, virtual and voice activated technology still has a long way to go if it’s to win the hearts of smartphone-users – only 4% of Brits think of it as one of smartphones’ most useful features.
“It is certainly heartening that with these handsets HTC is making headway in the smartphone market – despite a subdued foray into the VR space with the Vive.
“Of course, with Samsung Galaxy S8 and iPhone 8 launches on the horizon, pricing will be absolutely key to maintaining relevance.”
