It’s clear that the HTC U Ultra has a lot going for it - it looks nice, performs smoothly, offers good battery life, and is loaded up with enough features to distinguish itself from the herd. The phone was launched at a steep cost of Rs 59,990, but thankfully, the sticker price has now been reduced to a slightly more digestible Rs 52,990. Notwithstanding that significant price drop though, it still needs to beat some serious competition in the form of the LG V20 (review) and older flagships like the Google Pixel XL (review) and Samsung Galaxy S7 edge (review) to be able to come across as a worthy buy. More competition is incoming, as the likes of the LG G6 (first impressions) and the Samsung Galaxy S8 are due to land in the country very soon. The price drop will help its cause, but it’d be great if HTC can use some software wizardry (read updates) to improve the U Ultra’s camera results and make it a compelling option, and one we can recommend wholeheartedly.
