HTC has yet to unveil U11 Life this week, but patrons may already know almost everything about the handset, thanks to a recent leak.
A support page for HTC U11 Life has recently gone live on T-Mobile's official website, detailing the specifications of the mid-range smartphone. According to the carrier, the U11 Life will house a Qualcomm Snapdragon 630 with 3 gigabytes (GB) of random access memory (RAM) and 32 GB of expandable storage. The 5.2-inch screen gets a resolution of 1920×1080 pixels, to be powered by a small 2,600 mAh battery. T-Mobile says that should offer 13-17 hours of utilization time or up to 672 hours in standby mode.
Both the front and back camera will boast 16 megapixels (MP) each, with autofocus, face detection, and multiple shooting modes. Running Android 7.1.1 Nougat out of the box, the HTC U11 Life also comes with Edge Sense, the same squeezable feature that was introduced in U11 earlier this year. Connectivity options include a USB Type-C port, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, LTE, VoLTE, and fingerprint scanner.
Additionally, the smartphone is said to come with IP67 water and dust resistance feature, as well as U-Sonic headphones. As with U11, the mid-range variant also offers choices of AI assistant like Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, or HTC's own Sense Companion.
The T-Mobile listing did not include pricing details for the smartphone. However, industry insider Roland Quant claims it will be available for €369 ($429) in "Brilliant Black," "Sapphire Blue," and "Ice White" color options. That price is said to be for an entry-level 3 GB RAM/32 GB internal storage configuration. It remains to be seen how much a 4/64 GB version would cost.
HTC is expected to launch the U11 Life alongside its Plus model on Friday, Nov. 2. Release and shipping details are currently unknown, but it will likely hit the shelves before the holiday season.
