HTC U Ultra Review

Score: 77 / 100

HTC U Ultra is a great quality cellphone released some years ago, in 2017, equipped with a big size 5.7" display, an exceptional Quad-Core CPU ticking at 2150 megahertz, and 2 cameras, a 12 megapixels back-facing camera and a 16 MP front camera.

This cellphone is equipped with a high performance Quad-Core CPU speeding at 2.15 gigahertz, bundled in a Qualcomm Snapdragon 821 MSM8996 Pro-AB chip with a large 4 GB of RAM. The HTC U Ultra has a great 64 GB internal storage and an SD memory card expansion slot, more than enough to install hundreds of apps and even the largest games available nowadays without worrying about how much storage capacity is left.

This phone feels much lighter than what you expect from a cellphone of this size. Talking about its materials, the HTC U Ultra is built with Glass and Aluminum . HTC made this phoneavailable only in 16 777 216 color. The HTC U Ultra has an inspired design, with a thickness of just 0.31". This phone is a compact device, taking into account that it has a 5.7 inches display and it only has 6.39 inches long and 3.14 inches wide.

The HTC U Ultra has two cameras, a 12 mega-pixels back facing camera and a 16 mega-pixels front side camera. Its back facing camera has a 1.8 aperture so it can capture clear pictures even in low-light situations. It is also able to film videos in 3840x2160 (4K) at 30 fps, and slow motion videos in 1920x1080 (Full HD) up to 120 frames per second.

The HTC U Ultra includes a high-tech 5.7" display with a 1440 x 2560 (Quad HD / 2K) resolution, providing this cellphone with a unique image quality.

This cellphone includes Wi-Fi connection (which it can share with other devices as a mobile hotspot), 4G (LTE-A) super fast connection type and also HSPA+ connection type (which is a slower 4G variation) and fast 3G connection type, over HSDPA and HSUPA technologies. This cellphone works with a Nano SIM card for GSM carriers.

The HTC U Ultra also features many interesting characteristics as Fingerprint Reader, NFC (to trigger actions, transfer data or make payments by holding your cellphone close to another NFC device or tag), Bluetooth (4.2 ) and GPS Navigation, and lots of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer, Gyroscope and Compass.

This cellphone features a big 3000 mAh non-removable battery, enough to provide this cellphone with an extremely long battery duration. An issue to consider is that the HTC U Ultra's battery is not removable so you can't throw it away and buy a new one when it starts losing capacity, while having 3000 mAh you will probably buy a new cellphone before that becomes an issue.

The HTC U Ultra is being sold for around 749 dollars, which is not cheap for this type of cellphone. No matter whether you you love taking photographs, need a cellphone for work, will use it as a social device or want a phone for gaming, this cellphone is the right choice for you.
