I've always been a fan of HTC Phones (but obviously not everyone is)

It's got 64GB memory, Dual Sim and Unlocked, I ordered this phone towards end of Feb, took only a couple days, got a text saying courier would deliver between 11.11 and 12.11, and delivered at 11.30. Fantastic phone so far, it does everything I need it to and the difference between this and my last phone for the camera is absolutely amazing.

It has a big screen (5.7”) and it comes in a few colours and has a very convenient Dual Display. Only had it for a short time but its excellent.


I was a bit concerned as it was quite cheaper than anywhere else and I had never ordered from this website before, but paid with Paypal (just in case) but I needn't have worried, I ordered a screen protector and case (It actually automatically comes with a clear case, but it does not say that in description). Would definitely recommend the phone and the company

They send you an adaptor for charging, only takes around 30 mins for 50% charge

    Fantastic price, gotta be one of the best 'non flagships' out there.

    HTC phones are brilliant, such a shame that not enough people give them a try

    Battery is bad and quite a lot of lag on this one



    Ive got this exact phone and even the same colour, Battery is decent, always lasts a day plus and theres no lag whatsoever, you might be getting a bit confused with an iphone or something33366818-Q0sr4.jpg

    Pretty useless, Battery is awful and it needs to be charged every minute (OK every 2 minutes ). I have bought one and thoroughly dissapointed. The best HTC phone was m8 (no wonder they are going bust -- word idiots comes to my mind).

    I don't agree with either of these statements. Battery could have been bigger though! Shame.

    Worst seller ever... if any issues with the purchase once you bought, you have a very big mountain to climb and you will have to pay for the recorded post back to China. Might cost you about £30 for nothing.
    I would rather pay bit more and buy from a uk seller.

    I have the HTC U11+ and that has very small bezels.

    Most smartphones batteries don't last more than a full day, and not experienced any lag yet

    I've got the M9 it's only about a few months old as it was a warranty replacement for the same model. I found all the lag was due to the Three network even when showing strong 4g. No problems since in my area with EE. Battery only lasts a day with a lot of use so it's no Nokia 3310. Charges quick though. Camera has mixed results really poor in low light but amazing sometimes. I got a case mate tough clear case on EBay for £2.99 from £20 as after a while the prices for old model cases drop like stones! Still looks the biz. Think people are starting to hold onto their phones longer and going sim only due to the level of tech lasting longer than it used to. Great Deal considering this is a superior phone and £350 less than mine at release a couple of years ago! (edited)

S3 was as tough as nails but the Note 4 has had freezing/ lag and reboot issues since last 6 months which seems very common in this phone after checking online. Am on lookout for another phone - may consider this or wait for One Plus 6.


    ''proprietary lag'' are you sure you have used that term correctly? proprietary refers to ownership!

    To balance this out, I had one and i found it to be excellent. Great camera, smooth uncluttered interface and the battery lasted all day and then some. I don't play games all day though and just used it as a phone, bit of internet browsing and taking pics. Would buy another in an instant.

    According to the screenshot from zoopakev, 70% of juice (from a 1+ year old battery, maybe having lost 10-15% of its rated capacity) gives 15h of which 3h is sot, isn't that enough to last you through the day? (+ a 30% remaining for good measure) (edited)

    did you also receive the htc airbuds?


    I bought mine a couple of months ago from HTC UK for £279 and it included Ear Buds, a gel cover, charger , USB 'C' to audio adaptor and two year guarantee. Great phone , no lag and battery lasts me two days of normal use and even with heavy use still have 20% of battery left at the end of the day. You'd be lucky to find a recent top end phone that doesn't use a lot of battery power , big screens and powerful processors soon drain your power. I think a few of the comments on here are from people who don't even own the phone and are repeating parrot style things they have read on the internet. This was a top end phone a year ago and now isn't much more than the price of a budget one. It could be( slightly) better if I was paying £700 but for sub £300 there's absolutely nothing to complain about. The screen and the sound quality are excellent and the cameras too are good.

    Had this for two days. Battery life is absolutely terrible. I was getting 3 hours of screen on time with non cpu intensive use. Swapped it for the cheaper D10i Pro which I think is much better.

    I don't know if you have tried a U11 mate, but I'm guessing probably not from what you have said. It's truly fantastic, I've had 6 or 7 HTCs (including a 10), and whilst I have been happy with all of them, the U11 has totally blown me away. Really couldn't be happier with it.

    Had mine a couple of weeks now. No battery issues, superb camera, lightning quick with no lag what so ever. Ordered through EGlobal, good comms n quick delivery. Would definitely order the same phone again, without hesitation. Use cc for sec 75 protection.

    Ordered mine on the 27th of February, order still shows as processing but they tell you they don't offen update this until 24 hours after shipping.

    Was concerned about battery and lack of headphone socket but it's replacing a Galaxy S6 which has a smaller batter so I suspect it will be fine. Ordered myself a bluetooth headset for a few quid. Apparently if you want to plug in a 3.5mm headphone you need to use the HTC converter (which has an excellent DAC), it's £9.99 delivered here htc.com/uk/…mm/

    If you watch the reviews on youtube, many of the more recent ones are saying what an excellent handset this is. Looks like you need to do a few upgrades as soon as you get it.

    Bought the Ultra from eglobal just under two weeks ago, posted a screenshot of the delivery updates on a previous deal: HTC Ultra eglobal delivery process

    Really happy with the phone for the price. The second screen is useful, decent camera and the phone feels quick.

    Left the house this morning at 7am and have with approx 90% and the battery is currently on 18% at 9pm.

    I'd class myself as a moderate user, browsing quite a bit, Facebook app and listening to around 1hr of music.

    If out for the whole day doing a lot of browsing and using maps/gps think the battery may be an issue but using the quick charge plug you can quickly top up the phone with enough juice.

    I had the HTC One M7 when it came out. There were things I loved about it, like the stereo speakers, picture quality, style, and all aluminium body (first smartphone I believe to have that). But the slightly confusing user interface and common overheating battery issue that they failed to remedy on their later handsets put me off HTC for good. Maybe they've solved this in the years since, but I've never looked back since having a Samsung Flagship.

    This is absolute rubbish. The battery easily lasts a full day and it is as fast in operation as any other high end phone such as the s7 edge which I returned to get this. However, the only real criticism is a weak mobile signal when compared to other phones I have had.
