HTC U11 Gets 1080p 60fps Video Recording and Bluetooth 5.0 With Firmware Update

HIGHLIGHTS

  • The HTC U11 was launched in June in India
  • HTC recently added support for Amazon Alexa Assistant
  • HTC U11 was launched in India at Rs. 51,990

The HTC U11 smartphone received positive feedback from users as well as critics post its launch but there were some features that were noticeably missing from the handset when it was made available in June. Now, the Taiwanese company has rolled an update for the handset that reportedly adds the ability to record 1080p resolution at 60fps and support for Bluetooth 5.0.

Apart from the aforementioned additions, the latest update also brings along a security patch (possibly August) to the smartphone as well. The company says that the latest update brings along certain stability improvements to the

HTC U11 as well. The update adds Bluetooth 5.0 support to the smartphone that will allow a longer range for connectivity, higher bandwidth for transmission, and lower power usage, as per a report by PhoneArena.

At the time of HTC U11 launch in India, the company announced that it will be introducing new Edge Sense features to the smartphone with upcoming updates but sadly it seems that it hasn’t made any additions in this regard with new update.

To recall, HTC launched its U11 smartphone in India at a price of Rs. 51,990 (MOP). The variant launched in India comes 6GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage. The highlight feature on the U11 is the Edge Sense feature that allows users to perform various functions with the handset by simply squeezing it from the sides. While the company recently added the Amazon Alexa Assistant support to HTC U11 in the US, as Amazon Alexa has not been launched in India yet, the functionality is not supported on Indian models of the handset.

Samsung U Flex Headphones With Bendable Neckband, Bixby Button Unveiled

Samsung U Flex Headphones With Bendable Neckband, Bixby Button Unveiled

HIGHLIGHTS

  • The neckband is bendable by up to 100 degrees
  • It features a 11mm woofer and 8mm tweeter in each earbud
  • The U Flex is available in Blue, Black and Ivory trims

Samsung has announced its U Flex premium headphones, with a bendable design and dedicated Bixby button for Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ users. The headphones will come in Black, Blue, and Ivory trims. The company hasn’t announced pricing or availability details but we suspect that should arrive along with the Galaxy Note 8 that’s set to launch on August 23.

The Samsung U Flex headphones are designed to be rugged and are said to be able to withstand harsh conditions. The neckband is designed to be flexible by up to 100 degrees, which means you can contour it to easily fit in your pants pocket or a small hand bag. The controls and ports are placed on both ends of the neckband. On the left, we have buttons to control music playback, a power button and a Micro-USB port. On the right, there’s a dedicated button called Active Key, which can be customised to access various functions like the clock, timer, Samsung Health, favourites or voice assistants like Bixby. If you don’t have a Bixby-capable smartphone, then you’ll be able to summon S Voice on other Samsung phones. All this can be controlled via the Samsung Level app on Android.

The headphones also have a dual driver setup. Each earbud houses a 11mm woofer and a 8mm tweeter, which is said to deliver powerful bass response and clear highs. The Samsung U Flex also support Samsung’s Scalable Codec technology which analyses ambient interference from Wi-Fi signals for better range and a more stable Bluetooth connection. However, this technology will only work with a compatible Samsung smartphone. Other features include P2i nano coating which can protect it from light splashes of water; 10 hours of battery life; and built-in vibration alert for incoming calls.

We should get more details once Samsung commercially launches the U Flex. These premium headphones have many features in common with existing neckband-style headphones like the LG Tone Active+ and the Sennheiser Momentum In-Ear Wireless, so it will be interesting to see how Samsung’s offering will stack up in terms of performance and pricing.
