HTC unexpected surprise is not HTC 11
While almost all of us were hoping to get a glimpse of the Snapdragon 835-powered HTC 11(at least according to rumors). The HTC U Ultra Sapphire Version went official in Taiwan shores, rather.
HTC killed our hopes on a possible HTC 11 announcement. Instead of giving a glimpse on the company’s flagship, the surprise was really unexpected.
Come March 28, the Sapphire version featuring Sapphire glass protection and 128GB of onboard storage will start shipping in Taiwan for a rough price of $950USD or Php47,500 Philippine peso.
