HTC U11 Plus and U11 Life have been subjected to various leaks and render in past few months. A recent tweet from popular tipster Evan Blass suggests two colour variants of the HTC U11 Plus – Silver and Black. Blass also suggests that the smartphone may come in a translucent back panel which means it might be a see-through glass. However, he also states that it could be a kind of colour depth effect.

Look closely

RT @daveontweets I highly doubt 'Translucent' will be a see-through back. My guess is it will be a kind of depth colour effect pic.twitter.com/6Gn8n0FKRc

The HTC U11 Plus will be the first device launched by the Taiwanese giant after Google acquired part of company’s smartphone operations recently. The previous devices launched by the company this year had large bezel occupied display but the HTC U11 Plus is speculated to come with a bezel-less display and an aspect ratio of 18:9. HTC recently confirmed that it will be launching a new U series smartphone on November 2 and it is assumed that it is going to be U11 Plus. Another device that is speculated to be unveiled by the company on November 2 is the U11 Life which is rumoured to be turned down version of HTC U11 or HTC U Ultra.

HTC U11 Plus Specifications

The HTC U11 Plus is rumoured to feature a 5.9-inch show with very thin bezels and an aspect ratio of 18:9. Earlier TENNA listings revealed that the display on the smartphone will be a QHD+ one with a screen resolution of 1440 x 2880 pixels. It will be powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 coupled with either 4GB or 6GB of RAM. It will be available in two memory variants – 64GB and 128GB.

In terms of optics, the smartphone is rumoured to sport a single 12MP camera sensor instead of a dual camera setup. The rear camera will feature Ultra Speed Autofocus and have an aperture of f/1.7. The front selfie shooter is believed to be of 8MP resolution.

The biggest highlight seems to be the rumoured translucent back panel. Apart from that like previous HTC phones, the HTC U11 Plus will come with a stock Android experience and Edge Squeeze Sense feature. Wait for a couple of days more for HTC to officially announce the device. Until then take specifications with a pinch of salt.
