Note: Although Sony Mobile has confirmed that the annual flagship new machine Xperia XZ Premium will be equipped with the Opteron 835 processor, it is confirmed that the listing information will be officially announced in Taiwan Province on May 23rd, while the Samsung flagship new machine Galaxy S8 series, which has been sold in Taiwan Province a few days ago, only provides the Exynos 8895 processor specification, not the Qualm processor version. Therefore, HTC U 1 1 became the first flagship model to be sold in Taiwan Province with Xiaolong 835.
Edge-sensing border touch function, intuitive operation.
Continuing the HTC U series launched at the beginning of the year, HTC U 1 1 slightly adjusted the previous naming method, added the letter U representing "you" in the name, and took the number "1 1" as the flagship new machine of1in recent 20 years. Therefore, the design idea of HTC Touch, the first full-screen touch model launched in 2007, is continued, and the touch design is applied to the frame of the fuselage to create a squeezing touch experience called Edge Sense, so that users can activate the camera to take pictures through different holding methods, or quickly activate the digital assistant of the mobile phone to change the operation mode of the mobile phone.
HTC said that just like the introduction of full touch screen design in mobile phones to change the experience in the past, the Edge Sense operation interface corresponding to border touch will add a new intuitive feeling to mobile phones. As far as the current Edge Sense operation function is concerned, you can start the camera quickly by pressing the frame and start the shutter, thus shooting different * * * image effects. In addition, the voice input function can be turned on by pressing on the universal input interface, and the digital assistant function of Google Assistant can be awakened when the mobile phone sleeps. At the same time, the pressing operation function will not cause normal operation due to the wet border of the mobile phone.
After the launch of the new machine, HTC plans to release the Edge Sense Add-on Beta test function in July, so that users can customize the corresponding operation items of border pressing, so that users can add custom macro actions of squeezing operation in specific apps (such as enabling specific digital assistant services), which makes the border operation functions more diversified.

In addition to adding HTC Sense Companion digital assistant service to HTC U series to learn users' operating habits, and then automatically optimizing the operating efficiency of mobile phones in the background to maintain the best power consumption efficiency, HTC U 1 1 will also transform the original Google Now into Google Assistant digital assistant service with Google update strategy (but still only in English or German).
In addition, with Amazon opening its Alexa digital assistant service to the outside world, HTC is also preparing to introduce Alexa support service in HTC U 1 1. It is expected that HTC U 1 1 will be able to use Alexa digital assistant service function as soon as this year, but at this stage it only corresponds to English and other operating interfaces, and does not correspond to traditional Chinese voice interaction.
However, with HTC U 1 1 serving Amazon Alexa digital assistant, does it mean that this digital assistant function of Amazon will be officially staged? In fact, just like the case that Google Assistant is not yet open for use in Taiwan Province Province, but the mobile phone interface can be adjusted to English or German, since HTC U 1 1 will be implemented in the global market at the same time, we choose to cooperate with Amazon to provide more functions for its digital assistant service, mainly to meet the needs of the United States and other regions. At that time, Taiwan Province Province will be able to use this function, but it is expected that there will not be too many corresponding functions except English interaction.
As for users in China, HTC cooperates with Baidu DuerOS artificial intelligence operating system, and users can directly interact with mobile phones through Chinese voice, and integrate with most applications and services.
HTC Sense Companion, its own digital assistant service, is expected to add Smaert alarm clock function in June this year, so that when the system detects that the day is a national holiday or has special travel arrangements, it will prompt the user whether it is necessary to adjust the alarm clock.
For the first time, the flagship HTC model with 5.5-inch screen and IP67 waterproof was introduced, and the red color was eye-catching.
In the hardware design part, HTC U 1 1 continues the design concept of liquid surface adopted by HTC U at the beginning of the year, and interprets different visual feelings through the drop-like shape and bright surface color folding. This time, the 5.5-inch super LCD screen and IP67 specification were introduced for the first time in the flagship model of the year, mainly to meet most of the use requirements.
As for the color, it is also decided to add "Sun Red" whose design concept is derived from the sunset color of the Grand Canyon in the United States, and the rest will be provided with five colors of mirror silver, blue purple and white black, but the red color scheme is not expected to be launched until the second wave of listing, so there are only four colors to choose from on May 19.
[Embedded content] In addition to Qualm Opteron 835 processor, HTC U 1 1 has also launched four versions of 4GB memory and 64GB storage space, and six versions of 6GB memory and 128GB storage capacity, and both versions will be launched in Taiwan Province Province. Others include QC 3.0 battery fast charging, LTE Cat. 16 networking communication function, battery capacity of 3000mAh, and screen resolution determined to introduce Quad HD specification. Corning Corella reinforced glass protection was also used before and after, but gorilla glass 5 with higher hardness and higher drop strength was used in front, and gorilla glass 3 was used in the back.
In addition, in order to strengthen users' communication through mobile phones and use various digital assistant services, HTC U 1 1 also introduced the Always On microphone design consisting of four built-in microphones, which improved the accuracy by about 50% compared with the traditional microphone, and at the same time, the effective radio receiving range reached 1.5m, which was convenient to use even if the mobile phone was placed on the desk, and even corresponded to Google Voice Unlocking.
[Embedded content] The camera and sound are further enhanced.
In terms of the camera function that satisfied many users in the past, the main camera with12 million pixels and f/ 1.7 aperture designed on HTC U1this time, besides introducing the third generation UltraPixel imaging technology to improve the shooting quality, the newly added dual-pixel focusing system can improve the shooting effect, but it also cancels the previous laser. The front lens adopts160000 pixels and 150 degree wide-angle specification, providing automatic beauty shooting effect.
In addition, the main camera corresponds to HDR Boost and Always On functions, so users can record images with high dynamic contrast whether taking pictures or recording videos, but the actual shooting speed will not be affected. In this video recording function, the sound focusing function is added. When pointing at the radio to zoom in and out the video picture, the sound size ratio can be adjusted synchronously, and no strange sound stage will be generated.
In terms of sound output, HTC U 1 1 also provides personalized audio function, which can be matched with the attached U Sonic headphones to meet the output effect of personal listening needs. Because HTC U 1 1 also abandons the traditional headphone jack design, it can only connect ordinary headphones through USB Type-C adapter. This time, HTC added a digital amplifier chip to the adapter and provided a simple sound noise reduction function. Because it is powered by mobile phone power, this adapter can also provide sound noise reduction effect when used on other mobile phones.
At the same time, HTC U 1 1 adopts BoomSound HiFi Edition sound technology, which takes the phone frame as a * * * vibration unit, thus producing better sound output effect.
[Embedded content] The suggested selling price will be determined from NT 19900.

The suggested price for the version of 6GB memory and 128GB storage capacity is NT$ 2 1900 yuan (the original price is NT$ 24,900).
