The company released a teaser of HTC U11 a couple of weeks ago highlighting its squeezing edge sense feature where people were shown squeezing items like lemon, sponge, ketchup, bottle, breaks, etc. The video ended with the words "squeeze the brilliant U".

Another video shows a couple using HTC U11's touch-sensitive edge feature to navigate through the apps and capturing their picture together. According to the post by Tech First Post, the device will also come with a "360 real-life recording" feature, and although there isn't any explanations or video released that could tell how it is supposed to work, it can be assumed to be some kind of 360-degree video recording feature.

If the previous leaks are to be believed, the phone will come with a buttonless design. Other major speculations regarding the HTC U11 are it featuring a 12 MP rear camera with a 16 MP front camera, supposed to be running on Android 7.0 Nougat OS. The users can also expect HTC's very own virtual assistance 'Sense Companion', which was launched with 'HTC U Ultra'. As for the connectivity, it should support 4G LTE, WI-Fi, GPRS, Bluetooth, NFC and USB Type C, supported by a mega 3,000 mAh battery.
