HTC U Ultra now available for purchase in India at Rs. 59,990: Specs and features


After its launch in late-February, HTC has made the U Ultra smartphone available to buy in the country on Monday, via the HTC India Store. The U Play, which was launched alongside the U Ultra in India, will go on sale in mid-March.

The HTC U Ultra is priced at Rs. 59,990 (MOP), and while the company had announced the smartphones would be available in Blue, Black, Pink, and White colour variants in the country, it has brought only the Blue and Black colour variants at this time. The highlight of both the HTC U Ultra and HTC U Play is their Sense Companion feature, an AI-based system that learns the user's daily patterns to provide usage recommendations and friendly advice. On the U Ultra, the Sense Companion will display important alerts and notifications on the second ‘ticker-style’ display, which is called the Priority Screen.

HTC U Ultra specifications and features

The HTC U Ultra has been crafted through what is called as a ‘liquid 3D design’. It essentially gives the smartphone a distinctive reflective appearance. Given the symmetric construction and a 3D metal and glass design, light falling on the surface of the HTC U Ultra is transformed as you turn the device.

In terms of specifications, the HTC U Ultra boasts a 5.7-inch Super LCD 5 display with 2560×1440 pixel resolution and Gorilla Glass 5 protection. Similar to the LG V20, the HTC U Ultra also features a secondary display that comes with 150 x 1040 resolution. The secondary display shows alerts and notifications, and works in accordance to the HTC Sense Companion AI platform that learns user behaviour over the time and shows only relevant information on the panel.
