OnePlus 5 vsHTC U11 review

OnePlus is riding pretty high after a year of great success with the OnePlus 3 and 3T, and it's trying to parlay that momentum with the OnePlus 5. It's sticking to the same recipe as before, but doubling down on the importance of the camera and also raising its price. Despite being the bigger of the two companies, HTC broke out from a slump in 2017 with the U11. It's a great overall lg parts that directly competes with the flagships of the year, surprising many after a few years of lackluster high-end phones.

With the OnePlus 5 ostensibly targeting all of the flagship competition, and having the highest price of any phone from the company's history, it's worth comparing it directly to the U11 as one of the current leaders in the market. Does the OnePlus 5 have what it takes to be considered over the U11, considering it comes in at $170 less? Here's what you can expect.

As is the case with most of the leading phones today, you get a great baseline experience from both of these phones. Both are built on a Snapdragon 835 processor, plus plenty of RAM and storage. That leads to both the OnePlus 5 and HTC U11 having super fast software all around. Both phones offer a solid battery, USB-C and fast charging. They're also both sold unlocked with wide LTE support, which is always great to see.

In terms of the external hardware, they're quite similar from the front where they stick with traditional 16:9 displays, normal bezels, a front fingerprint sensor and capacitive keys (though the OnePlus 5 offers optional on-screen navigation). The volume and power buttons land in expected spots as well. Both phones give you a solid feel when you pick them up, though the U11 feels a bit heftier around back as it's thicker than the OnePlus 5.

Being the more expensive of the two, the HTC U11 is bound to have some areas where it's ahead of the OnePlus 5. The big differentiators right out of the box are the things you see and feel: the screen, and the back of the phone. The 5.5-inch display is the same size as the OnePlus 5, but its QHD resolution is higher and its overall properties are better. It gets brighter than the OnePlus 5's AMOLED panel, and that helps boost the colors a bit as well.

So long as you're not vehemently opposed to glass-backed lg screen replacement (which some people definitely are), you'll find the U11 looks and feels better than the OnePlus 5. Its unique color-infused glass looks great in any of its five color options, and the combination of a curved glass back and solid metal frame feels great. It's also just downright more exciting looking than the more generic OnePlus 5. The hardware also hides two other nice-to-have features: full waterproofing, and a dual speaker setup that offers fuller sound than the single speaker on the OnePlus 5.

Perhaps the biggest area that the U11 differentiates itself in is the camera. Hardware-wise, it's all there: 12MP, big 1.4-micron pixels, f/1.7 lens and OIS. Software-wise, HTC has just about nailed the processing in a way that really leverages the hardware to get really great photos. During the day it's crisper and more colorful than the OnePlus 5's photos, and at night it competes with the best out there — meaning it's a step above what OnePlus is offering right now. That's not at all to say the OnePlus 5's camera is bad, but more so that HTC has finally pulled it all together to make a great all-around camera, and it doesn't stumble in the few areas the OnePlus 5 does.

Be sure to check out our HTC U11 review and OnePlus 5 review for the details and our best photos from each.

Finally, it's a small thing but for those of us in the U.S. you could potentially be tempted to check out the U11 because it actually supports Verizon and Sprint. Yes it doesn't have CDMA on the unlocked model, but that's a small detail — if Verizon or Sprint are your carrier, the U11 will work on them, while OnePlus 5 just isn't an option.

iPhone 8 will be limited supply in September

The number of iPhone 8 handsets available for purchase at launch may be more limited than usual, according to a new report.

Every year, Apple announces an iPhone in September, and then proceeds to sell them by the bucketload. But this year could mark a change in fortunes for Apple, as rumours emerge of supply chain issues that could impact launch stock for the company’s next flagship sony parts .

The rumour relates specifically to OLED panels, which are a type of display panel tipped to debut in the iPhone 8. Unlike traditional backlit-LCD screens, an OLED panel features pixels that emit their own light. The lack of a backlight allows power consumption to be reduced, improved battery light. Better still, because individual pixels can be turned off, it’s possible to show truer blacks, paving the way for a wider dynamic range and colour gamut.

Apple has always steered clear of OLED displays for the iPhone, but is expected to finally introduce the screen technology with the iPhone 8. By contrast, Samsung has been shipping flagship Galaxy smartphones with OLED screens for years.

However, according to a new report by Digitimes, yield issues with the manufacturing of OLED panels – from Samsung Display, incidentally – may lead to a stock shortage of iPhones for the planned September launch. The article notes that just 3-4 million OLED-based handsets will be available, which is several times less than the number of sony replacement parts handsets Apple typically sells in the first week of sales.

It’s worth noting, however, that Digitimes has a mixed track record when it comes to Apple leaks, so take this latest rumour with due caution. We won’t really know the truth until Apple makes an official announcement later this year.

We should also point out that Apple is rumoured to launch three new iPhone models later this year, only one of which is tipped to feature an OLED screen. This supposed iPhone 8 is said to be in celebration of the iPhone’s 10th anniversary, and will boast several advanced features. Meanwhile, we’re also expected to see two more traditional handsets under the guise of iPhone 7S and iPhone 7S Plus.

HTC U11 looks stunning in solar red

HTC has started pre-orders for one of its sexiest-looking htc parts yet.

The "solar red" version of the HTC U11 is, in our opinion, a real looker. HTC's manufacturing processes for this range of handsets has created a red-backed device that shimmers and shines as it catches the light and that really comes to the fore with this specific model.

It changes from a deep, involving red to a searing orange, depending on the light.

You can pre-order the solar red HTC U11 from htc.com from today. It's priced at £649 SIM-free in the UK.

The red HTC U11 is listed on the site as coming as a dual SIM only device, but can be used with just the one SIM.

The silver, black and blue models are also available - and they come in single SIM variants.

The HTC U11, as we note in our extensive review, is a great flagship phone and a welcome return to the company's best. It comes with a fancy gimmick - the ability to squeeze the sides of the handset to access features - but is an all-round solid Android htc replacement parts with a Snapdragon 835 processor, 4GB of RAM and 3,000mAh battery with Quick Charge 3.0.

Its 5.5-inch screen has a 2560 x 1440 pixel resolution and the rear and front cameras are 16-megapixel and 12-Ultrapixel snappers respectively.
