HTC U11, company’s most recent flagship, launched with Bluetooth 4.2 pre-installed. HTC obviously does not want things to stay this way. According to Federal Communications Commission’s reports, company wants to, quote, enable Bluetooth 5.0 by software without any hardware change. If this happens, HTC will be the second company to implement Bluetooth 5.0 into its mobile phone, first one being Samsung and its S8 and S8+. Positive sides of having Bluetooth 5.0 onboard are said to include low power usage, longer connectivity range and higher transmission bandwidth.Date of the ...

HTC U11 this, HTC U11 that… don’t know about you, dear readers, but I am getting bored of HTC U11. HTC does not share my sentiment, though, as their device keeps coming up in news for one reason or another. This time, it is about HTC officially announcing the beginning of their yearly summer sales. Many of the company’s deals are US exclusive, including open pre-orders for their upcoming flagship U11. Version available for pre-order has 6GB RAM and 128GB storage memory and costs ”only” $729. Other devices put for sale include HTC 10 ($399), HTC U Ultra ($499) ...

Week ago, Alexa hit U11’s in the United States. Now it is time for UK to get the same treatment. Mobile Alexa has all the same utilities (I almost wrote ”abilities”) of stationary Amazon Echo, and works seamlessly with Google Assistant. It can also interface with any smart home device with Alexa implemented.In order to get Alexa, all you Brits have to do is go to Google Play Store, then head to My apps and games tab and select Update. Afterwards, you will need to run a usual setup and voila, done. ...

HTC and OnePlus are, by now, the only smartphone companies that lately released their very own apps on Google Play Store. OnePlus has released its Weather app; HTC released Messaging, its brand new messaging app. Even though both can be downloaded from Google Store, they will only work on their respective companies’ phones. Interesting. The supposed reason HTC did this is because it makes it easier to update the app without releasing separate updates for specific HTC mobiles.As for the Messaging itself, there is not much to say, really. Application’s interface looks similiar to ...

Better late than never! Sorry for not reporting this yesterday – I was struck with the worst case of stomach ache imaginable. Anyway! Yesterday, on Monday 17th, AI assistant Alexa has become available on every HTC U11 phone in the United States of America. Smartphone Alexa is reported to retain most of its Echo smart speaker functions and have a few of its own, allowing you to set timers and alarms, order items from Amazon (well duh) and more. What smartphone Amazon cannot do is make phone calls and sending text messages – you’ll have to do it yourself.German and United ...

Looks like HTC wants its Edge Sense to stick. Some thought that U11 will be the only foray into the Edge Sense technology made by the company, but now we know that HTC is, in fact, working on a mid-range device that will adopt this tech. Source of the news is the same person who already leaked info on U Ultra and U Play phones, so it is safe to assume that he/she is right this time, too.What will be Ocean Life’s (this is HTC’s internal name – phone will most likely come out under a different one) specification? What we know makes it stick out as a pretty good ...
