After making a major splash with the industrial-styled One back in 2013, HTC has been struggling to keep up with its competitors. Despite a series of well-reviewed follow-ups, the company hasn’t made much traction with its flagship handsets, and it was beginning to look like HTC would fade into the sunset like so many other Android manufacturers.

Enter the HTC U Ultra.

The phone represents a completely new direction for the company, complete with a new tagline: It’s all about U. With a 5.7-inch Quad HD screen, Snapdragon 821 processor, 4GB of RAM, 64GB of storage, and 3,000 mAh battery, the phone is clearly a flagship release. Though the battery seems a tad small for such a brilliant screen, it does includes a fast charger in the box. The HTC U Ultra also sports a tiny second screen above the main display like the LG V20 to house contacts, apps, and notifications, and it adds a few unique touches that could make it one of the early phones to beat in 2017.
