I wouldn't be unhappy with a gift like that! For free, I imagine this phone is great. I think the main issue is the price HTC is asking, relative to what you get.
hahahahahhaha first time i laughed my guts out buahhahahahahaha hahahahahah it's people like you that make wanna live more & not go straight to strangle myself hahahahaaaha good one bro
The most amazing thing about this phone isn't the price or the *poor use of space*. It's the fact that this phone passed through several departments and executives and it still got the green light.
Lukas Kuipers except the people who bought u ultra...their flagship got robbed of that status in just 4-5 months...that's even less than one plus 3t...😂😂😂
HTC is like SEGA... They build beautiful hardware yet they manage to fuck it up year after year. I was loyal to HTC for years but the leadership is running this company into the ground, it's really sad...
Same here I had the wildfire the incredible s the desire x the one x and the m8 which in my opinion was the last phone that actually felt like a htc with its own style and character and not just some iphone rip off, thats why i went to samsung.
HTC is not Apple. Some companies stomach criticism and move on. You can't even fuck with reviewers as prominent as Marques. If you try, it's only going to backfire. Well, unless you're Apple, cuz your fanboys are gonna gobble up your shit no matter what.
Greg Chmielewski Watch last Q & A video MKBHD. He is not sponsored by any phone company. Only one plus sponsored him. So, it doesn't matter whether htc gives him phone or not
The Verge manages him and the press (especially The Verge) gets the latest and the greatest and I'm pretty sure they'll hook him up. Plus, HTC is unveiling something on the 20th, I hope it's something good
To sum this up: no headphone jack, no waterproofing, poor speakers, small fingerprint sensor, ridiculously small battery (the Xiaomi Mi Mix has 4400mAh battery), no IR, no dual camera, bi camera hump, $750. At the same time LG managed to create a smaller, thinner phone with same size screen, dual camera, no camera bump, a headphone jack, bigger battery and wireless charging. HTC is a joke right now.
Mateusz Wojtkiewicz very well said. I was once a devout HTC fan. But the last few years it appears that they either just stopped caring or stocked their design team with idiots (or perhaps both). I'll not be buying HTC ever again...
that's why you don't be a fanboy to any company, they make good phone then you buy, they make bad phone this time you pass. The HTC M7 was outstanding, after that I don't see them coming back with these phones that makes no sense
I'm not surprised... I LOVE my HTC 10 especially because it seemed like HTC was getting back to their roots of making an extremely high-quality all-rounder, but the U Ultra was the biggest disappointment I've ever felt about any tech company. The U Ultra needs this bashing, so HTC knows what's up, and try harder for their next flagship.
My Little Dicky For me it was the mate7 it served me for almost 3 years Im rolling now with no phone cause my Huawei Mate7 broke a Week ago and i want the new One plus phone and I hope a larger version comes out but I'm fine with 5.5inch I think I can survive 3 months without a smartphone.
HTC watching this video like.. "well.. their go our sales for this phone" Like anybody who looks to buy this phone and does research on RUclips will see this video and there goes a sale for HTC.. lol The power of MKBHD
Christopher Haynie Deeply disappointed price tag,super chunky size ,crappy battery ,no jack who is gonna pick this over Galaxy S7edge, LG G6 ,pixel xl and one plus3t at the same or lower price
I'd buy a Galaxy S7 Edge over this and that came out a year ago. In reality, people who work at ATT, Sprint, and Verizon just push whatever phone they want. The majority of people going in there don't know anything about phones and it's equivalent to selling used cars. If HTC shows seller incentive people will push it. But it probably won't do well regardless. More and more companies are going with 2 year contract/upgrade plans though, so that 750 tag turns into ~25 bucks a month. Which really isn't that bad.
bro we didn't appreciate smartphones back then, camera bumps are crazy now, heaphones jack is unheard of, and phones are the size of a brick. At least batteries have gotten better
ahmdhziq my only problem with my M8 was how hot it got...that thing got so close to burning my hand after pretty light tasks (watching one 10 minute YT video for example). The phone was fantastic though, wish HTC had continued in such a fashion!
I still use M7 as my daily driver. Mostly because I can't buy a Google Pixel that easily in Denmark- But I agree, back then HTC actually managed to make good phones. RIP HTC :p
I changed my M8 for an HTC 10 and it is a great phone , But it seems HTC has lost it again , they could have done much better after htc 10 but for some unknown reason they messed it up AGAIN .
JWproductions not everyone likes to wait 6 months especially when we dont know how long they had their phone so oneplus could have been an upgrade after 3/4 years of waiting for shahrass
had problem with touch screen. had to replace one within a year and then it failed again before the next year. I owned HTC desire, HTC ONE X and M8 but that it. No more HTC. Poor quality control and customer service.
HTC needs to be boycotted. They are selling an average device (with a flagship processor & graphics) that's worth less tha 450$ fo 750$. What is wrong with them? Someone's inside that company who is trying to kill HTC mobile division
+poly nexus At least MBPs are just overpriced, but this HTC phone is both priced way higher than it should have been AND average in terms of overall quality.
Hey! I've never comment on a tech tuber before but I just wanted to say that you're one of the the most honest reviewers I have ever watched but not only that, you're opinions are something that I respect and take on board. I love you're chanel and keep coming back because you come across as passionate about what you do. Well done and keep up the good work. Peace
I used to love HTC. Phones. I can't believe they let Samsung passed them. And they lost the Beats by dre deal too. After that. It was down hill from there.
Even if they priced this thing at 500 bucks, it would be a hard sell. While I usually hate it when big 'RUclipsrs' use their channel and popularity to attack brands and products, I 100% agree with this video. HTC needs a wake-up call.
Callous Kunth HTC used to be an amazing company. They were the ones who innovated Android phones as we know them today. the problem is, the common idiot either buys a Samsung or an apple and doesn't look anywhere in between. so, essentially HTC's sales went down because nobody noticed them anymore after the S3, and they have since had to greatly reduce their employees and now they have to price phones for the high just to stay afloat. and it's not going to work out well for them, and it's going to be very sad to watch what's coming to them because they were such a great company but the consumers have ruined them
JACOB Brown nah, $500 is the right price, what good is a fast processor when its lacking everything else. No wireless charging, silly little buttons, small battery, huge camera hump, etc, etc.
I think this phone was made to mock apple, it has no headphone port, and has an extra, small display for notifications and quick use of apps... Not to mention the price...
I have been using it for couple of days and trust me, no headphone jack is not a problem at all. the audio is excellent on the Usonic earphones. The extra display is great to have all the apps that use frequently. Price might be a little price for some, but these are the same people who buy Apple and Samsung. This phone is twice better than what others have in market. So why nag about the price.
Siddhartha Kumar yo any one who says not head phone jack isn't an inconvenience isn't a heavy user of they're phone my iPhone 7 is a struggle to use sometimes
Most "reviewers" are a joke. They won't give negative reviews because they don't want to lose early access to events, free samples and paid promotions.
Please htc im begging you since the m9 make a unique phone solid great design. Every year your phone keeps getting ugglier same specs. I cant find the htc signature style. Miss the olds days my fav phone is m8
Ya, I think the only real problem was the price they asked for the HTC 10 in the beginning. Fortunately they realized and they cut the price, but by then it was too late and the phone became irrelevant.
Siddhartha Kumar Dishonest? Tell me what was dishonest about this video? Everything he said was true. There is nothing that justifies this phone being at the price it is.
Siddhartha Kumar dishonest ??? if his review about this phone is dishonest , look at the other rival companies and also compare the sales to that of HTC . just because you have the phone doesn't mean it's good for everyone .
Every once in a while I come back to watch this. How naive we were back then. We thought $750 was a lot for a phone and that this was a large camera bump. Seems phones are even more poor uses of space now than they were seven years ago.
HTC is going through a midlife crises, trying desperately to recapture what they once had by following trends instead of being true to the company that they were
Kenny 92 even before they were actualy shi.t.i remeber their phones as if u only going to buy their flagship,their phones below flagship price were shit
Kenny 92 That's what the HTC 10 was supposed to be, and they actually did a good job of it. Not sure what the hell happened this year though, it's like they got lazy. I mean hell those buttons and fingerprint scanner are ripped straight from the HTC 10. They didn't even bother to change them.
Zlatko Živić everything up to the M7 from HTC was great, HTC was the the first company in the US to sell a 1080p phone !!!! with a slim build and sexy design.. then they followed that up with the M7 the best phone of its time
Wow. I feel like they copied something out of all the big brands out there: the back, from S7, the lack of headphone jack from the iPhone 7, the top screen from the LG V20. Even the front look kinda reminds me of the OnePlus 3....
Queen Diamond headphone jack? apple? Heard anything of LeEco or Motorola? And Op3?1!1?2! For real now? The HTC 10 had a front design like this before and the op3 was released after it....
Dope Bass I've seen you say that Apple was the not the first to remove the jack on a few threads now (I know they weren't, and I know they probably stole it from Motorola) but it doesn't matter. Most of these companies want to copy them (or any other successful companies because why would they want to copy a company that has been going downhill for a while now *motorola*) since they are one of the most successful.
Yes I've heard of them, yes, but I said BIG brands for a reason; they are the MOST influential. The mainstream does not know what LeEco is. I also agree with MrThermurader on the iPhone & Motorola comment. As for the design, in my personal opinion, the OP3 is the first thing that popped in my head when I saw the front. The background included... at least THAT you can't deny.
OnePlus really set the bar high. How can you justify spending $800 when you can get the same processor and camera, more ram and a headphone jack for half the price?
i would buy it because i like how it Looks , and i like the HTC Sence mmore than any other Android Smartphone . I use my Phone for E-mails , Calls and WhatsApp , so i dont really care about CPU , RAM , or any other stuff. I care about the look and the feel of the Phone. ist just way too large for me so i think i would go with the HTC U Play.
dude, did you not just watch the video? if other phones can manage to cram a bigger battery, bigger speakers, larger fingerprint sensor, a headphone jack and more for the same price into the same sized phone... something is wrong man and you dont need to take the phone apart to know that its poor or outdated design... i mean htc fucking manufactures the google pixel phones... how fucking hard is it to make a copy of it with your own quirks? its like inventing a bicycle all over again
Which is exactly why I left Droid for iPhone. After the M7, there were no other Droids I wanted. Although if I were using a Droid now, I would have to go with the Google Pixel.
a good friend has an HTC m8 best sound, ran hotter than a stove. Heard more than 1 source that HTC will only do their vr products, no more phones. Would never trust HTC to do proper engineering of any product,esp vr & now no trust in HTC phones
Not only is it not water resistant but my power button stops working simply from using a cleaning cloth that was to moist It slides off every surface Good thing it's shock resistant.... Cam was good but now it just turns off after a couple and changes battery percentage amount is a lie 30 to 0 from S pic
+Judicial Review You have to be a reallllly blind devote Apple hating android fanboy to believe that that is the only reason... Even common sense, or a minuscule spark of brain activity, would enable one to think of multiple other reasons.
Samuel Pantoja Is that why most new Androids now don't have headphones jacks? Oh wait, USB C is not proprietary? What's their reasons then? And I hope you know 99% of people don't use lighting cable headphones...literally everyone I know without a headphone jack goes wireless

Why Do You Type Like This

HTC probably lost millions of dollars from this video alone
Jao I 1upcox
Maybe i might have missed, but that is the first time he directly said SKIP THIS ONE!!
Jao I seems like a poor use of space.
NO. They actually in deficit. Which means, when you buy one of these, they will loss more.

why does everyone have a mugi profile picture "seems like poor use of space again" - MKBHD (after 2 more mins still 2017)
"Poor use of spa- you see what I'm getting at?" -MKBHD (2mins later, still 2017.)
Strong and stable government!
Rishabh Gupta lol he said it so many times
The tiny buttons look really off... like a full-grown man wearing tiny kids shoes
Yes!
UpstreamNL what's sad is the buttons on the HTC 10 were so good
they probably thought that every person in this world have tiny fingers like Taiwanese/chinese...
Doesn't take an engineer to figure out 3,000mah battery in a phone that large is a bad idea...
IKR
Mine is around the same size and its like MYR600 which has a 4000mah sized battery lmao (lenovo A5000)
Mine is slightly slimmer than it and less tall , I still got 5000mah battery on lenovo p2
Hareesh Lenovo P2's a legend.
I'm so pissed off that Lenovo didn't launch a successor to that beast in 2017!!

I'm glad I read this comment b4 watching the video, I'm laughing my ass off
HTC is falling apart. I remember when HTC was relevant.
Robertas S. Then the u11 dropped and noone's complaining

Kartikey Sharma that's me you're talking about, and I hate HTC for that 😭
rohit pandey lol
It is irrelevant because of bullshit reviews like this.
They weren't expecting Marques to review their phone.
Hero Miles HTC should have sent him a red version, instead of a blue one.
I see what you did there.
"phone provided by htc for review"
oh shit
They should have also sent a DBrand skin along with red phone, just to get on MKBHD's good side.

The HTC Vive is really their only good product.
Can't believe I was about to buy this shit phone!! Shame on you HTC. Thank you for pointing these things out for us here.

Štefan Danko don't think it would fit in the trash can

To sum this up: no headphone jack, no waterproofing, poor speakers, small fingerprint sensor, ridiculously small battery (the Xiaomi Mi Mix has 4400mAh battery), no IR, no dual camera, bi camera hump, $750.
At the same time LG managed to create a smaller, thinner phone with same size screen, dual camera, no camera bump, a headphone jack, bigger battery and wireless charging.

They were trying to make a manly phone but ended up making a fat Vagina.
dont forget, the lg g6 has an ip68 water resistant rating
Mateusz Wojtkiewicz LG was bashed on, but even at that, HTC will be forgotten for phones. Not VR though.
First time I've seen him bash on a phone that hard. I kinda feel bad
Malav Kapadia ikr 😂😂😂😂
same, i feel sad for the phone xD
Malav Kapadia lol I haven't seen a single xperia phone since Z5
I'm not surprised... I LOVE my HTC 10 especially because it seemed like HTC was getting back to their roots of making an extremely high-quality all-rounder, but the U Ultra was the biggest disappointment I've ever felt about any tech company. The U Ultra needs this bashing, so HTC knows what's up, and try harder for their next flagship.
The phone is so bad is kind of deserves it
It went down by $150.
Still not worth it imo though.
ikr
Dinkleberg x it did?
Dinkleberg x went town around 450 so now worth it
It's $380 unlocked on eBay now.
260€ in Europe
I think we could all agree that the best HTC phone was the M8.
My Little Dicky reply u now using my m8
Yes my dude keep enjoying it while you can.
I bought it when it first came out and it served me well for 3 years.
My Little Dicky For me it was the mate7 it served me for almost 3 years
Im rolling now with no phone cause my Huawei Mate7 broke a Week ago and i want the new One plus phone and I hope a larger version comes out but I'm fine with 5.5inch
I think I can survive 3 months without a smartphone.

The power of MKBHD
That's MKBHD tax for you.
Exactly , the effect from here is a bit significant .
me when i bought my one m9 "well i'm never buying an htc phone ever again" and i'm glad i stuck by that
Ryan Hafeman honestly I couldn't have agreed more here
I love HTC, but man what a let down.
ʕ•͡ᴥ•ʔ ʕ•͡ᴥ•ʔ ʕ•͡ᴥ•ʔ ʕ•͡ᴥ•ʔ
Hydra Jamm Thanks :-)
ʕ•͡ᴥ•ʔ I love them to but I quit buying their phones after the M7 , when Samsung switched to glass and metal builds , they killed HTC
It's a combination of the galaxy S6 and the v20. It's most definitely not worth $750. What a shame but that's HTC for you.
Christopher Haynie straight copy from v20
Christopher Haynie
Deeply disappointed price tag,super chunky size ,crappy battery ,no jack who is gonna pick this over Galaxy S7edge, LG G6 ,pixel xl and one plus3t at the same or lower price
준영 right. Take $200-300 off and maybe.
I'd buy a Galaxy S7 Edge over this and that came out a year ago. In reality, people who work at ATT, Sprint, and Verizon just push whatever phone they want. The majority of people going in there don't know anything about phones and it's equivalent to selling used cars.
If HTC shows seller incentive people will push it. But it probably won't do well regardless. More and more companies are going with 2 year contract/upgrade plans though, so that 750 tag turns into ~25 bucks a month. Which really isn't that bad.
I got A LGV20 And I was Surprised That It Exactly Looks My phone And My old Phone (s6) Combined Together
Here's a four word summary of the review:
POOR USE OF SPACE
I heard HTC's stocks underwent a staggering crash after MKBHD'S, "Poor use of space" review!
@Sree Ram... Exactly...they will feel it in one way or another
TimeSnake, you're not the sharpest tool in the box, are you?
+John Willows Yeah, but he's still a tool. Give him that.
Sree Ram wow is that's really true that sucks who knew mkbhd had such a big influence
Sree Ram lol
HTC : *reveals surprise hidden revolutionary hardware feature which explains what they did with all the space*
Ranodeep Seth Hahaaha imagine the look on everyone's faces if that was true.
The secret fold out headphone jack, like inside the iPhone 7?
That only comes out if you microwave it.
there is nothing to explain here if it isnt secretly a time machine or a "beer from air" machine...I beg pardon!!
Ranodeep Seth *Don't Read My Username*
The buttons look like a whale's face.
Btw, it has a private golf course inside.
yeah the up and bottom bezels are huge, and the buttons looks teeny....it doesn't look good at all
Haha!
I'm actually the head of design at HTC, for clarification.
bro we didn't appreciate smartphones back then, camera bumps are crazy now, heaphones jack is unheard of, and phones are the size of a brick. At least batteries have gotten better
I love my M8.. And after that everything just went downhill BIG TIME!
ahmdhziq ahh back when the HTC was great.... good ol days..
ahmdhziq here I am still using it. Great phone! Sad to see how htc went downhill after that.
ahmdhziq my only problem with my M8 was how hot it got...that thing got so close to burning my hand after pretty light tasks (watching one 10 minute YT video for example). The phone was fantastic though, wish HTC had continued in such a fashion!
I still use M7 as my daily driver. Mostly because I can't buy a Google Pixel that easily in Denmark- But I agree, back then HTC actually managed to make good phones. RIP HTC :p
I changed my M8 for an HTC 10 and it is a great phone , But it seems HTC has lost it again , they could have done much better after htc 10 but for some unknown reason they messed it up AGAIN .
U is for underwhelming.
I am pretty sure the phone was not sponsored by htc in this video
Amir Mustakim he never get sponsors.
Henning Gu Proof he doesn't get sponsors? What he says does not count, lying is normal for a lot of people these days.
Henning Gu usually if the phone has a dbrand skin on it that means dbrand got the phone for him so he has sponsors from time to time
yeah well it would actually be illegal if he didn';t disclose a sponsor...
hehehe, yeah Samsung bought it from him. They said "Here, take this HTC phone, do a review on it"
this video has changed my mind. i bought two oneplus 3T instead!
nice
shahrass, you should’ve waited till now when you could have bought 1 iPhone X instead.
JWproductions not everyone likes to wait 6 months especially when we dont know how long they had their phone so oneplus could have been an upgrade after 3/4 years of waiting for shahrass
JWproductions iPhone x is a useless pile of shit the last good iphone was the 3gs
why would u buy iphone X. get Oneplus 5t. its better
Seems like the *M8* was their last great device! Loved the speakers and IR remote.
maxjosephwheeler i have one
its good
maxjosephwheeler Agree, I own one and it's great. Just shame about the relatively poor camera or else it could last me for a couple more years.
M8
maxjosephwheeler I'm using mine to type this comment!! hahaha just couldn't give up the amazing speakers!
had problem with touch screen. had to replace one within a year and then it failed again before the next year. I owned HTC desire, HTC ONE X and M8 but that it. No more HTC. Poor quality control and customer service.
HTC needs to be boycotted. They are selling an average device (with a flagship processor & graphics) that's worth less tha 450$ fo 750$. What is wrong with them? Someone's inside that company who is trying to kill HTC mobile division
how about you boycott apple for selling a 4300 usd machine, underpowered and overpriced huh?
poly nexus underpowered? *cough antutu *cough 1 *cough
poly nexus "Why not both?"
+poly nexus At least MBPs are just overpriced, but this HTC phone is both priced way higher than it should have been AND average in terms of overall quality.
HTC was boycotted in not-so-distant past. I guess they didn't learn much.
conclusion
POOR use of space
Hey! I've never comment on a tech tuber before but I just wanted to say that you're one of the the most honest reviewers I have ever watched but not only that, you're opinions are something that I respect and take on board. I love you're chanel and keep coming back because you come across as passionate about what you do. Well done and keep up the good work. Peace
don't be a dick
Samuel Pantoja y'ou'r'e'ar'e
*y'or
you've been played
I think this is the first time in all of my time watching MKBHD that he's directly said... don't get this phone.
I used to love HTC. Phones. I can't believe they let Samsung passed them. And they lost the Beats by dre deal too. After that. It was down hill from there.
rahsaan hill *pass
Keron Farrier passed*
OverKnight 52 passeded*

They dug their own grave. It'll be sad when they go out of business, but it'll be their fault why that happened in the end.
Poor use of space... Thats what she said
.... To you. OH SNNNNAPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!
Aziz Shavershian no, that was horrible
Aziz Shavershian rip zyzz bro
that's what your mom said about you
Strelok No; thats what they said about you when you joined the Family tree...
the complaint about camera bump didn't age well.
my zenfone 9 has 2 crazy camera bumps
Something's telling me he doesn't really like the phone but I can't quite figure it out. /s 😂
😂
It's in the title
to sum up the video: seems like a poor use of space
It's still a good phone!
Are you on crack?
Ok, the battery is rip now but it did fine. 🙂
The HTC U Ultra Sucks.
Which is why he did this ULTRA RANT.
I laughed too much for this, so straight forward.
Get a Galaxy S8 when its released or a LG G6. HTC has lost it.
Hassan 504 don't get a LG phone, they have severe issues with their motherboards. Go for Samsung, OnePlus, or Huawei
What about the G6?
Yeah but I want to hear the specs first
Hassan 504 nah get iPhone 8 PSHYC apple sucks
Mr. Sand-Oval pick any phone from last year, there you go
Even if they priced this thing at 500 bucks, it would be a hard sell. While I usually hate it when big 'RUclipsrs' use their channel and popularity to attack brands and products, I 100% agree with this video. HTC needs a wake-up call.
Callous Kunth agreed
Callous Kunth This guy knows his stuff so I don't mind him ripping a product 2 new holes.
its good that they use their power to call out fucking useless products like these.
Callous Kunth HTC is Making bad decisions for years
now!! They can't overprice something to rip people off
Callous Kunth HTC used to be an amazing company. They were the ones who innovated Android phones as we know them today. the problem is, the common idiot either buys a Samsung or an apple and doesn't look anywhere in between. so, essentially HTC's sales went down because nobody noticed them anymore after the S3, and they have since had to greatly reduce their employees and now they have to price phones for the high just to stay afloat. and it's not going to work out well for them, and it's going to be very sad to watch what's coming to them because they were such a great company but the consumers have ruined them
2017: This phone is huge
2020: This phone is compact
Your desktop doesnt have any apps on it... seems like a poor use of space...
It's a mac... they have the doc...also there's two icons on the top right for the hard drive and a folder
you didnt get what I said... at all right ?
Linustechtips did cover up his own poor use of space in the *Exposing MKBHD's fake videos* video. The desktop is a prop to him. Poor use of space
you made this comment and it appeared on my screen, seems like a poor use of space on my screen.
I actually would prefer a clean desktop. Plus, the dock has all the essential apps.
Excellent Review / Rant. HTC should have priced the phone at 500$, that's the perfect price for it.
naw the OnePlus 3T would still be a much better buy than this at that price point.
Ravi K maybe 399
Odion Ehijie nah that's just a bit cheap for a phone with snapdragon 821 and a camera like this. I'd say he's just right at $750.
Ravi K down further to 299. 👇
JACOB Brown nah, $500 is the right price, what good is a fast processor when its lacking everything else. No wireless charging, silly little buttons, small battery, huge camera hump, etc, etc.
I think this phone was made to mock apple, it has no headphone port, and has an extra, small display for notifications and quick use of apps... Not to mention the price...
xic0r 😂😂
I have been using it for couple of days and trust me, no headphone jack is not a problem at all. the audio is excellent on the Usonic earphones. The extra display is great to have all the apps that use frequently. Price might be a little price for some, but these are the same people who buy Apple and Samsung. This phone is twice better than what others have in market. So why nag about the price.
Siddhartha Kumar good point
Siddhartha Kumar I find this phone mediocre at best compared with other phones around this price.
Siddhartha Kumar yo any one who says not head phone jack isn't an inconvenience isn't a heavy user of they're phone my iPhone 7 is a struggle to use sometimes
The "i have a small penis and buy a big car" Problem - Smartphone edition
Andre Töws “I have a small penis and ask for extra large condoms” problem
He just Ethered HTC
SHWVN lol 😂
Thank you for keeping the review honest! I have seen other reviews actually recommend this phone, and it makes no sense to me why...
Most "reviewers" are a joke. They won't give negative reviews because they don't want to lose early access to events, free samples and paid promotions.
I think it's a lot easier to talk about something you like for 5-8 min
that's where you're wrong, he loves HTC phones....but he hated this one because it is bad
This wasn't a review, it was a rant! Check out the title. I'll look somewhere else for a real review and make up my mind about this phone.
if you don't want it, can i have it?
Alessandro Morter Buy it if you want it
Alessandro Morter you might find it to be....a poor use of space
Sounding like a broken record saying poor use of space
Please htc im begging you since the m9 make a unique phone solid great design. Every year your phone keeps getting ugglier same specs. I cant find the htc signature style. Miss the olds days my fav phone is m8
Rey Flowers me too
The HTC 10 was a great phone. This phone is as much of a disappointment as the M9.
htc 10 is a solid great phone but not as popular on the m8 and m7
Ya, I think the only real problem was the price they asked for the HTC 10 in the beginning. Fortunately they realized and they cut the price, but by then it was too late and the phone became irrelevant.
I agree. The m8 was gr8, m8. 8/8
Year after year HTC always manages to drop the ball some how.
Brian Carbajal I thought the HTC 10 was amazing.
It was a good phone but there was very little marketing behind it.
Andy Tang HTC 10 was solid but pretty much everything else besides that have been pretty bland .
Brian Carbajal What a shame right?
HTC One M7, M8 and the 10 were great, don't go spouting nonsense.
I'm more surprised that HTC is still making phones.
HTC makes pretty good phones, it is people like these that is tarnishing the brand with dishonest reviews.
Siddhartha Kumar Dishonest? Tell me what was dishonest about this video? Everything he said was true. There is nothing that justifies this phone being at the price it is.
Siddhartha Kumar Shut up. Htc should be in RIP Mode.
Siddhartha Kumar
dishonest ???
if his review about this phone is dishonest , look at the other rival companies and also compare the sales to that of HTC .
just because you have the phone doesn't mean it's good for everyone .
Siddhartha Kumar fanboy spotted!
This video probably assisted in killing HTC's phone division lol
one plus 3t vs this. enough said
This. Half the Price, more battery, 6GB of RAM.
Aryaman Singh "this" as in the HTC so u mean the OnePlus
He meant HTC M5 that was released 20 years ago
it seems OnePlus is skipping the OP4 and it's going straight to 5 , dk why tho
I think it's because 4 sounds like death in chinese or something
poor use of space. who counted how much he said that?😂👏
Arvīds Žanis Orlovskis 10 times lol
Too many times!
#pooruseofspace #htcuultra
Arvīds Žanis Orlovskis I wasn't counting #hurtbae
If I had a dollar for every time he said that...
expect better from htc after this video ✌️
yeah...
suuuure...
no
Every once in a while I come back to watch this. How naive we were back then. We thought $750 was a lot for a phone and that this was a large camera bump. Seems phones are even more poor uses of space now than they were seven years ago.
HTC is going through a midlife crises, trying desperately to recapture what they once had by following trends instead of being true to the company that they were
Exactly what I was thinking as well. It's saddening to see, but hopefully this is the low point and they recover from it.
Renegade94 maybe this will be kinda of a wake up call for them, hopefully it's not too late
Kenny 92 even before they were actualy shi.t.i remeber their phones as if u only going to buy their flagship,their phones below flagship price were shit
Kenny 92 That's what the HTC 10 was supposed to be, and they actually did a good job of it. Not sure what the hell happened this year though, it's like they got lazy. I mean hell those buttons and fingerprint scanner are ripped straight from the HTC 10. They didn't even bother to change them.
Zlatko Živić everything up to the M7 from HTC was great, HTC was the the first company in the US to sell a 1080p phone !!!! with a slim build and sexy design.. then they followed that up with the M7 the best phone of its time
*Review the G6*
Sheev Palpatine Marques usually don't review phones from LG.
J Chris Tmg Lg v20?
Mr. Mobile has done the G6 review.. But I wanna know Marques' opinion.
MoreDopeTech that was not really a review. It was like how underrated the phone is kind of video.
i am sure he will review the G6...because it's worth it....but give him some time to really test it
Wow. I feel like they copied something out of all the big brands out there: the back, from S7, the lack of headphone jack from the iPhone 7, the top screen from the LG V20. Even the front look kinda reminds me of the OnePlus 3....
completely agree
Queen Diamond headphone jack? apple? Heard anything of LeEco or Motorola?
And Op3?1!1?2! For real now? The HTC 10 had a front design like this before and the op3 was released after it....
Dope Bass I've seen you say that Apple was the not the first to remove the jack on a few threads now (I know they weren't, and I know they probably stole it from Motorola) but it doesn't matter. Most of these companies want to copy them (or any other successful companies because why would they want to copy a company that has been going downhill for a while now *motorola*) since they are one of the most successful.
Yes I've heard of them, yes, but I said BIG brands for a reason; they are the MOST influential. The mainstream does not know what LeEco is. I also agree with MrThermurader on the iPhone & Motorola comment. As for the design, in my personal opinion, the OP3 is the first thing that popped in my head when I saw the front. The background included... at least THAT you can't deny.
Queen Diamond i was thinking of the haweui just with a mirror finish the s7 camera…
No wonder HTC quit the game 💀✌🏻
OnePlus really set the bar high. How can you justify spending $800 when you can get the same processor and camera, more ram and a headphone jack for half the price?
its 749
armuk Not after taxes and shipping.
the one plus dosent even have nfs. you cant compare it to that phone, as mkbhd said, this is a high end phone
151551664345 1468 Did you mean nfc? Because it absolutely does.
OnePlus has everything the U Ultra doesn't
So why would people buy this for $750 instead of a OnePlus 3T?
oneplus is not a well known brand ...
Nikkhil RB OnePlus are growing rapidly. It also feels good to know your device is innately superior to those on the market.
Woltekort one plus 3t is best I am using that only
i would buy it because i like how it Looks , and i like the HTC Sence mmore than any other Android Smartphone . I use my Phone for E-mails , Calls and WhatsApp , so i dont really care about CPU , RAM , or any other stuff. I care about the look and the feel of the Phone. ist just way too large for me so i think i would go with the HTC U Play.
Gona wait for jerryrig to tear it down for further reviews
CAPT. PHAMSA agreed... i look inside the phone before believing this guy... bad use if space.. pfff...
dude, did you not just watch the video?
if other phones can manage to cram a bigger battery, bigger speakers, larger fingerprint sensor, a headphone jack and more for the same price into the same sized phone... something is wrong man and you dont need to take the phone apart to know that its poor or outdated design...
i mean htc fucking manufactures the google pixel phones... how fucking hard is it to make a copy of it with your own quirks? its like inventing a bicycle all over again
CAPT. PHAMSA like almost all HTC phones, this one should be a tank. Maybe they use the space for that
Zack is his name.
CAPT. PHAMSA me too,I'm curious what did they do with all the space
HTC U Ultra ($750): Poor use of space
Samsung Galaxy Note 20 ($1000): Hold my plastic back
HTC always manage to make an amazing flagship smartphone... for two years ago. Every year.
MKBHD's one line review for HTC U Ultra - Poor use of space :D :D
HTC havent made a good phone since m7.
Exactly. The M7 was awesome.
Mateusz Wojtkiewicz M8 was good ..
M8 was good.
I loved my m7. Only phone I truly miss
Which is exactly why I left Droid for iPhone. After the M7, there were no other Droids I wanted. Although if I were using a Droid now, I would have to go with the Google Pixel.
Recommended 3 March 2024 🤣
watch this video at 0.5 speed on pc, thank me later
lol
i dont get it
a good friend has an HTC m8 best sound, ran hotter than a stove. Heard more than 1 source that HTC will only do their vr products, no more phones. Would never trust HTC to do proper engineering of any product,esp vr & now no trust in HTC phones
The M8 was a pretty bad phone. Loved the M7 though
m8 was amazing, only compromises were camera and mabye some other things like big bezel
This comment, a poor use of space.
What's the intro song?
Garrick Liang Darude - Sandstorm
Not only is it not water resistant but my power button stops working simply from using a cleaning cloth that was to moist
It slides off every surface
Good thing it's shock resistant....
Cam was good but now it just turns off after a couple and changes battery percentage amount is a lie 30 to 0 from S pic
HTC= Help The Company
the intro music ? any one .thank you
Haj Farouk Taiebi i wanna know too lol
pee wee russell - pee wee blues
Haj Farouk Taiebi we are number one
Darude Sandstorm
nop :(
The last good HTC smartphone was the One M8.
After that all are shit.
Shakeeb Mohammed well said
Shakeeb Mohammed M8 was shit also. I hated that phone.
Shakeeb Mohammed Last good HTC design was the One X.
LifeISMagix I bet you never even owned one. Salty much 😂
The HTC 10 is actually pretty good, specially now because prices have dropped.
Apple's only reason for removing the headphone jack was NOT to save space, it was to make more money with an unnecessary transition to lightning port!
+Judicial Review You have to be a reallllly blind devote Apple hating android fanboy to believe that that is the only reason... Even common sense, or a minuscule spark of brain activity, would enable one to think of multiple other reasons.
Main reason was they were not making money out of the regular headphone jack.
Samuel Pantoja Is that why most new Androids now don't have headphones jacks? Oh wait, USB C is not proprietary? What's their reasons then?
And I hope you know 99% of people don't use lighting cable headphones...literally everyone I know without a headphone jack goes wireless
aliwalyd3 lol
How did it fail? Every phone is removing it and eventually all the phones will not have one.
COURAGE
Wow, you really do rant!
Nearly as bad as us Brits...
But I think all were very valid points.
