Only a couple of days ago, HTC revealed that it is hosting an event on May 16 where the company is expected to pull the wraps off its much talked about handset, the HTC U 11. Wait, what? So, now they are calling it the HTC U 11? In short, yes!
There has been so much confusion regarding the HTC’s upcoming flagship’s moniker. While some were referring to it as the HTC U, others were calling it the HTC Ocean. We ourselves were pretty much confused by the naming convention for a while.
Thankfully, VentureBeat has now cleared the air once and for all. It reported that the yet-to-be-launched smartphone will go with the moniker HTC U 11 based on the information it learned from an individual who is aware of the company’s plans.

As cited in its report, the new moniker comes “in an effort to bridge past and present naming schemes.” And, it pretty much makes sense whether you like it or not. While the number 11 signifies that the smartphone is the successor of HTC 10, the U in the moniker places it in line with the latest HTC U series.
Besides, the report also revealed that the HTC U 11 would be made available to users in five different hues namely: Black, Blue, Red, Silver, and White. However, not all of these colors will be made available in all regions.

Hopefully most of the colours are available in India.I have a feeling that the red will look really good !
Whatever HTC is thinking, but this sounds like a crappy name.

so they named it HTC U11 instead of just HTC 11, well the name doesn’t matter to anyone as long as the product live up to their customer’s expectations!!

Can’t really say about the name, but the smartphone has peaked my interest. The Squeezable sides are really cool, and the flagship looks really neat.
The squeezable sides sound like a cool gimmick! The HTC M7 used to be a favorite of mine! The sequels didn’t make the cut for me though! But Boomsound speakers FTW! 🙂

The concept behind this phone is interesting, but I do not think it will be appealing to the average consumer that it is targeted for.

Really hyped about this phone. After riding on the m7 and m8’s success, HTC was really struggling during m9 and m10 eventhough they actually were great phones. Hopefully the U will turn it around.
I really like the colour options. No extra adjectives, no unnecessary monikers, just plain colours.
