HTC U 11 was officially presented by the HTC company during a conference that took place yesterday, with the launch to take place a little later. Apart from the major innovation regarding Edge Sense, HTC U 11 comes with another extremely interesting surprise, it also has a camera worthy of a Taiwanese smartphone.
According to the experts from DxOMark, the HTC U 11 has the best camera ever implemented in a smartphone, passing the Google Pixel, which held this title since the fall of last year. Just one day after DxOMark announced that the Samsung Galaxy S8 has a weaker camera than the Google Pixel, now it drops another "bomb" and crowns the HTC U 11.
In the tests done by DxOMark, the HTC U 11 scored 90 points out of a possible 100, 1 more than the Google Pixel. The difference between the terminals is small, but that matters less, because the HTC U 11 is now the smartphone with the best camera ever implemented in such a device and will probably hold this title for a long time.

HTC U 11 is praised by the experts from DxOMark for the fact that it has extremely fast automatic focus, but also a little noise in the recorded pictures. These two features helped the HTC U 11 surpass the Google Pixel in the tests to establish the quality of the camera, and Google will probably try to regain its title in the fall.
The HTC U 11 had the best autofocus of all smartphones tested, regardless of brightness, receiving 95 points out of a possible 100. The texture and exposure of photos taken with the HTC U 11 also scored 94 and 90 points, some of the highest of all, with the color of the photos being the "Achilles heel" with "only" 85 points.
"Not only is the HTC U11 the highest-scoring phone we've ever tested, it's the highest-scoring in both still image quality and video quality, beating out the Google Pixel by 1 point in each. Those who want to shoot and share their photos will particularly appreciate the vibrant colors and bright exposures of the HTC U11. Similarly, effective autofocus and stabilization will help both photos and videos look good right out of the phone."
Basically, the HTC U 11 has an excellent camera for recording photos, but also video clips, and this will matter to many potential customers. If I had to guess, I would say that the HTC U 11 will not be surpassed by any smartphone this year when it comes to camera quality, but of course anything is possible, and someone has to get 100 points at some point.
