HTC has confirmed the HTC U 11 release date on May 16, 2017, and has even sent media invites for the event.  The event is expected to include the latest update of HTC U line up. The upcoming HTC device is going to include an innovative feature like pressure sensitive frame, five different colors and many others.

The recent teaser of HTC U 11 features an interesting function which includes the pressure sensitive touch of the device. The users can squeeze the device for tapping, selecting and many other functions. Although the Taiwanese company didn't clarify the feature enough to understand, it can be expected that the device has a new home for the home button.

The reports are coming from Venture Beat in which it was described that the numeric component of the device name signifies the successor of HTC 10 Ocean. Meanwhile, the U in the name raises speculations that the phone will fall in the same categories which were introduced early this year as the HTC U Ultra and HTC U Play. This speculation will be clarified after the company releases the device with its proper name.

Along with the squeeze feature, the company even revealed that the device will be available in five different and charismatic colors. As the premium member of U lineup, HTC U 11 is going to feature vibrant paint job including white, black, red, blue and silver. Although all the colors will not be available in all the regions, it is speculated that the company will unlock the colors after a specific period of the launch.

The pressure sensitive frame is the highlight of HTC U 11 which completely differentiates it from the rest of the smartphones. The users can scroll, tap, click and can operate many other functions through the sensitive frame. The device is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 and will run on Android Nougat 7.1.
