While HTC U11 is considered an overall cool phone, it’s Edge Sense (squeezable edges that can be assigned a variety of functions) are little more than a gimmick – nice, but not really that important. HTC knows this and wants to change it. How? By increasing Edge Sense’s customizability. Users of Edge Sense can now create their own squeeze actions and assign them to almost any application installed on their phone. In other terms, one squeeze action can do one thing in every app; for example, a squeeze and left turn will zoom in the map in Google Maps, open a new message in Facebook Messenger and delete a post in Twitter.

Sounds cool. Of course, this feature is still in beta-tests, so be prepared for it to not always work properly and to sometimes cause your phone to glitch. Still, it would be nice to see Edge Sense become more useful.
