lol . if anybody is into headphones, its like the Zeos effect. If he says a headphone is good, best believe you better have watched that video within 5 minutes because those reviewed headphones are about to be sold out on Amazon in 3 hahaha
Javier Prado He's right though. I would buy an S7 Edge or a Google Pixel everyday over the HTC U Ultra. I love my S7 Edge and I still it's much better than the U Ultra
Javier Prado you don't think HTC already knows this? they do this on purpose to widen the profit margins for clueless people who don't know any better. this isn't a flagship. just a quick buck for people that think looks and size matters.
Floss doesn't have the high end production on his videos; no fancy spinning moving shots; no in-depth focus on a single aspect of a device...but what he does offer is the best all around review for the average user.....and when he's paying his own money and is not going to all of the press events for early access you know he's not full of shit.
Been watching your vids for years and I gotta give it to ya, these are some of the best reviews out there. Good to hear impressions/reviews from another actual consumer. Keep it up Floss.
It works like this : - Doing random shit - Floss uploads a video - Stop random shit activities, watch Floss's video - Like it - Comment #Salute - Continue random shit #Squad #Salute
That would be an acceptable boot time for a sub 400 dollar phone, but at that price no way. Also with the snapdragon 821 in it, this should not be this slow.
Why do I love Flossy's reviews? He says it like it is! It's either a "Go" or a "No Go"! Simple and straightforward. Big ups to you bro. Been a subscriber for a couple of years now and I always come back here to know your opinion on these things we spend money on all year. 👍
That's funny you still have the Note 7 Flossy. You are one of the very few that have one left. Are you gonna keep the Note 7 until the Note 8 comes out so you can trade it in?
Max Johnson nah dude, if they would have priced that bitch at, let's say $500, it would be a GO... the specs or not that bad and the camera, screen reso, and build quality at that price would have been winning. you tripping bruh
D Rex you're being serious d rex ? this is a HTC they won't price it at 500 because they greedy as fuck . it's on par with oneplus 3 which cost 399 UK pounds
D Rex ok so since they won't , and it's over priced as a complete package you agree this is a bomb ! ford focus are nice basic cars but you won't pay BMW prices for one .... it's all relevant . this phone is old spec wise it's so dated now . it's not much better than HTC 10 ? it's definitely not on par with what s8 will be , and even LG g6 is lagging but they have made improvements... HTC are tredding water so the price is a fucking piss take and for that reason and the reason it's average spec ,it will bomb
Dean Shufflebotham Dean Shufflebotham Dean Shufflebotham I'm not denying that HTC messed up. I completly agree that this phone at this price is a flop, but my original comment was to your assertion that "even if you take the price out the picture the phone is a failure". that's simply not true in my opinion and that's why I said "IF it was 500". your comment allowed me to speculate
I have the V20 and the ability to swap out the battery is incredibly useful. I would have gone for the HTC Ultra if it had removable battery. The bottom facing speaker on the LGv20 isn't as nice as my old HTC M8, and that's the only complaint I have with the v20.
So..... I subscribe to many RUclips channels. But I only have 2 channels I ask RUclips to let me know as soon as a new video is uploaded, that's YOU and the guys at Tools in action. Shout out to ya man, good shit!!
Markovic Bosko well there's reason why no us carrier carries anymore, no change in design. Had xperia z1s on tmobile and screen easily cracked. Oh if James Bond uses it then throw everything else out because he chooses that phone then.
I was a HTC fanboy but after owning my 10 and seeing the route there going, I'll say I'm ready to venture else where,l. maybe I'll wait for the pixel 2, or the next yr Galaxy s9 since I can't upgrade til the end of the year anyway
Pavel Ohrádka I haven't heard to many compliments. They bring the fact that it's has the 821 chip from reading the spec's but I haven't heard anyone go in like they do HTC. I'm probably wrong though, maybe they do but me personally haven't heard it..
It can't be the phone diehards have been waiting for. No headphone jack, no front speakers, glass back(with no wireless charging), no water resistance.... This shit is $800 worth of WHACK!!
I don't see myself ever paying $700plus for a phone ever again when there's the oneplus 3/oneplus 3t, Axon 7, Honor 8, Honor 6x all available for under $450
great unboxing as always Floss. quick question, I noticed u said u prefer AMOLED, so do I. In your video the screen quality looks almost AMOLED. Is the S7 edge display leaps and bounds better or just marginally?
still don't understand why you haven't review your mate 9? and next gen honor note 9 will use kirin 960 and it compatible with sprint and another carrier too.
*Flossy Carter* I do not regret subscribing to your channel. The first video of yours I've seen was when you reviewed my favorite portable speaker...the JBL Flip 3. I've been a fan ever since. When you do your full review of this phone, let us know if you can about that camera work, and if it's good for filming, and taking photos, especially in low light. Thanks again for another great video. Your work is amazing as always.
So they made a phone with a Glass back but didn't include wireless charge then they removed the headphone jack but didn't make it water resistant...And all of that for almost $800 Someone needs to be fired at HTC or they should merge with LG & make crappie decision together
Apple dropped the headphone jack to make room for the taptic engine, I can accept that. But HTC did it for literally no reason whatsoever, and that, I cannot accept.
May I ask you a question? What will you choose, HTC U Ultra, LG G6(lets forget about wireless charging cuz not all the regions have that feature), Pixel XL?
xFaithkeeperx I don't know what's wrong with htc! They could have made greater phone like the lg g6 or the s8 we don't mind them coping each other as long as they produce an amazing product, while on this case u ultra is just a rip off with no headphone,no boomsound, no wirless charge, no water & dust resistance,no dual camera and the worst part 3000 mah battery like SERIOUSLY...!!! only an idiot will buy this phone
Hamza Amir yup. I wouldn't buy this. if I want water resistant I would either get the iPhone or Samsung. LG is barley making their way up to that. I was disappointed that it didn't with v20 but it's super durable. I dropped it in water before & many time with no problem it still works.
xFaithkeeperx lg v20 is a very good phone on its own! 32 bit audio dac, three camera setup, awesome built quality, 64 GB with SD slot, and my personal favourite the included band&oulphsen headphones
this phone copies the v20 but the v20 is better in literally every way except the minor processor difference. i'll take my dac, dual camera, bigger and removable battery. and i even have google assistant on my v20 now. but that ultra is gorgeous
Steven Bowman it's like when you're scrolling through the pages on your home screen and in between it just freezes for a second and it returns to normal
800 bucks for a phone that isn't even waterproof meanwhile I paid 550 bucks for my Galaxy S5 and it is waterproof. Definitely a rip off in my book no matter how good it looks.
Amoled and OLED aren't the same thing, and production cost of Amoled isn't more expensive than LCD, it's just that Samsung is the only producer of it so they sell it expensive to others
Great vid Floss :D but can't blame HTC for the processor since Samsung paid Qualcomm to get first dibs on the new 835 ahead of other companies like LG.
I agree about the phone not having wireless charging and the small battery for a phone that has a 5.7 inch and a .2 inch ticker LCD screen. I have a GS7 Edge and Moto Z Force Droid. You got to have one of the other. If you make a glass back phone you have to have both a big battery and wireless charging.
Hey Floss, the HTC U ULTRA is $599.00 now on the HTC website. The only thing I see that you forgot to mention in your unboxing and review of this phone is the advantage the consumer gets from the HTC UH OH protection. That to me is a major deal. And if you don't use it because you're a careful person, you get $100 off your next HTC phone. That's a winner in my book Brah. If you decide to order it again, I'm really interested to know what you think about the blue color.
man you are the most honest person in reviewing any phone im one of the HTC fan but all what u said about missing feature from phone which could make it better i agree with 100 %

When Floss says it's a no go......you better belive your profit margins are about to drop, lmao.
Robert Smith So true!.. lol :)
...Because Floss keeps it real.
Like they had any margins to begin with.
lol . if anybody is into headphones, its like the Zeos effect. If he says a headphone is good, best believe you better have watched that video within 5 minutes because those reviewed headphones are about to be sold out on Amazon in 3 hahaha
The thing is also he doesn't say that a lot, so if he says it's a no go, then it probably pretty bad...
yup,i think you're right!
Perfect way to put it. “Last year's specs for this year's prices". HTC hire this man lol
Javier Prado He's right though. I would buy an S7 Edge or a Google Pixel everyday over the HTC U Ultra. I love my S7 Edge and I still it's much better than the U Ultra
I'd rather buy an HTC 10 than this
Javier Prado I'm guessing HTC will keep the 10 at $650 for the rest of the year. Do they not learn?
***** It'll probably get a price cut around black Friday😂
Javier Prado you don't think HTC already knows this? they do this on purpose to widen the profit margins for clueless people who don't know any better. this isn't a flagship. just a quick buck for people that think looks and size matters.

Christopher Smith That's why he's the best at this, raw and uncut.
Christopher Smith I personally like his form of production because instead of a 500,000 on 1 conversation it feels more like a 1 on 1 conversation

Once I was a HTC fanboy, but not any more
Carjon Deng Me too. HTC lost their way after M8
Dalton Williams Yeah after the m8 it was all downhill, loved that phone too.
Same here mate. Not following them since the legendary M7. That's was a hell of a phone in its time.
same, my first smartphone was a htc because they were best at the time but now it's pretty much trash on the high-end priced market
Carjon Deng same here bro I had the G1, evo, evo 3d, M7, M8, M9... smh so disappointing
I've been watching floss for years now. I can't wait to see his Galaxy s8 review and the phone isnt even out yet.
Is it just me or did that phone take way too long to boot? :|
not everything is going to be instant. 30 seconds is not to bad.
That would be an acceptable boot time for a sub 400 dollar phone, but at that price no way. Also with the snapdragon 821 in it, this should not be this slow.
Yeah, two minutes to the HTC animation is insane.
Lets all give it the benefit of the doubt , its still a first boot , so it might take longer than usual than typical booting up.
Ryan D'souza i think it may have been longer due to being the "first" boot of the phone. nice phone but its too expensive to be missing a cpl features
Why do I love Flossy's reviews? He says it like it is! It's either a "Go" or a "No Go"! Simple and straightforward. Big ups to you bro. Been a subscriber for a couple of years now and I always come back here to know your opinion on these things we spend money on all year. 👍
We all miss the Note 7 Flossy... RIP Note 7 2016-2016 😢
That's funny you still have the Note 7 Flossy. You are one of the very few that have one left. Are you gonna keep the Note 7 until the Note 8 comes out so you can trade it in?
Fucking Floss, "why do we have this years prices on last years specs" best line yet lol
Are you going to check out the xperia xz premium?
You know Steve Jobs said back in 1995
"Good artist copy, great artist steal."
is the outtro a song or is it custom made?
how much better if they brought it out with 835 . 6-8gb ram ,4000 mah battery ? i mean i expect this to be standard after one year
Max Johnson nah dude, if they would have priced that bitch at, let's say $500, it would be a GO... the specs or not that bad and the camera, screen reso, and build quality at that price would have been winning. you tripping bruh
D Rex you're being serious d rex ? this is a HTC they won't price it at 500 because they greedy as fuck . it's on par with oneplus 3 which cost 399 UK pounds
Dean Shufflebotham I understand they won't .. what I'm saying is, if they would have, then and only then could I say this was a GO
D Rex ok so since they won't , and it's over priced as a complete package you agree this is a bomb !
ford focus are nice basic cars but you won't pay BMW prices for one .... it's all relevant . this phone is old spec wise it's so dated now . it's not much better than HTC 10 ? it's definitely not on par with what s8 will be , and even LG g6 is lagging but they have made improvements... HTC are tredding water so the price is a fucking piss take and for that reason and the reason it's average spec ,it will bomb

flossy , have you tried those 2 part real wood cases from amazon and ebay?
you should do a video on the Xperia XZ premium or xz. Love your vids man. Keep em coming.
Pliskin how?
Markovic Bosko sony devices are very weak on screen pressure. It's a no go for same design since start of xperia.
Markovic Bosko well there's reason why no us carrier carries anymore, no change in design. Had xperia z1s on tmobile and screen easily cracked. Oh if James Bond uses it then throw everything else out because he chooses that phone then.
new 3310 have a 3.5jack still the best..or C9 pro
I was a HTC fanboy but after owning my 10 and seeing the route there going, I'll say I'm ready to venture else where,l. maybe I'll wait for the pixel 2, or the next yr Galaxy s9 since I can't upgrade til the end of the year anyway
D Rex 100%
D Rex switch to T-Mobile. you could switch after you're finish paying half the phone. don't stick with contracts. waste of money & time.
Can't say the 10 is a bad phone, I love mine and would like to see HTC come out with the 11
***** the 10 is a great phone (would personally like the screen on it slightly larger)
MarioPL I like my 10 but it went from being sort of unique to kinda bland now
I would like to find out about picture and video quality in low light, battery life and sense UI performance. Thanks!
Floss pulled out the Note 7! Salute my G!!
+TheRealATV lol that's my jealous ex
Hey Floss did you do the new Little Caesars radio commercial by chance?
another great vid! some really exciting flagship phone coming out soon, the new sony xz premium looks good
Marc Donnellan Yeah
How's the battery? Especially the standby
Samsung bought all of the 835 chips that's why it has the old specs
mainebell Yeah they had dibs on the chips first. Nobody can use them until the G/Note 8's drop.
mainebell true.. LG G6 has the 821 chip in it also and no one is complaining about that.
mainebell Sony managed to snag the 835 for it's new XZ.
+George Da Silva Well people are definitely complaining about that 😄 But there is nothing we can do.
Pavel Ohrádka I haven't heard to many compliments. They bring the fact that it's has the 821 chip from reading the spec's but I haven't heard anyone go in like they do HTC. I'm probably wrong though, maybe they do but me personally haven't heard it..
No IR Blaster?
It can't be the phone diehards have been waiting for. No headphone jack, no front speakers, glass back(with no wireless charging), no water resistance....
This shit is $800 worth of WHACK!!
yup
Now it is only $300 so I would consider this the best budget phone for he price... much better software than any Chinese rom
hey floss I gotta question do u have a contract for all the phone companies or do u just buy them just to see how they work
I feel like this phone should be 500$ to 600$ or like 699.99$. That would be more reasonable
Isaiah Ramos kinda with you on that.
Isaiah Ramos I agree. At least you are reasonable. Definitely overpriced but it's not a bad phone
+Teresa McGuire But there's no warranty. :/
max 400€ for this shit and its too much
I don't see myself ever paying $700plus for a phone ever again when there's the oneplus 3/oneplus 3t, Axon 7, Honor 8, Honor 6x all available for under $450
great unboxing as always Floss. quick question, I noticed u said u prefer AMOLED, so do I. In your video the screen quality looks almost AMOLED. Is the S7 edge display leaps and bounds better or just marginally?

It's not...
Lost Night with that Damn price, you would think so smh lol
Saif Osman lots of talk about the true flagship, touch sensitive controls. No buttons whatsoever.
I keep reading about the "HTC Ocean" coming this year. Allegedly THAT is the new flagship.
ErikTheRed hopefully this is just a placeholder for the real flagship.
how can I watch the live stream? or has there been any lately?

gotta give Flossy a thumbs up for the "little unboxing knife"
So they made a phone with a Glass back but didn't include wireless charge then they removed the headphone jack but didn't make it water resistant...And all of that for almost $800
Someone needs to be fired at HTC or they should merge with LG & make crappie decision together
Its really pointless what they did with the build. lol

HTC = Help This Company
If this is a no , why u don t do The Huawei Mate 9 review ??
Apple dropped the headphone jack to make room for the taptic engine, I can accept that. But HTC did it for literally no reason whatsoever, and that, I cannot accept.
would u say the HTC ultra is better then the lg v20
I agree it's overpriced. My favorite part was when you pulled out the Note 7. Damn do I miss that phone.
May I ask you a question? What will you choose, HTC U Ultra, LG G6(lets forget about wireless charging cuz not all the regions have that feature), Pixel XL?
We want mate 9 real review
Nice video as always Floss! I have a Galaxy S7 Edge, what would you say is better HTC U Ultra or the S7 Edge? Thanks!
Lg v20 is way better then this
Hamza Amir yeah the same price point or close haha. I love the v20 because it's meant for audiophiles & people who want to make professional video.
xFaithkeeperx I don't know what's wrong with htc! They could have made greater phone like the lg g6 or the s8 we don't mind them coping each other as long as they produce an amazing product, while on this case u ultra is just a rip off with no headphone,no boomsound, no wirless charge, no water & dust resistance,no dual camera and the worst part 3000 mah battery like SERIOUSLY...!!! only an idiot will buy this phone
Hamza Amir yup. I wouldn't buy this. if I want water resistant I would either get the iPhone or Samsung. LG is barley making their way up to that. I was disappointed that it didn't with v20 but it's super durable. I dropped it in water before & many time with no problem it still works.
xFaithkeeperx lg v20 is a very good phone on its own! 32 bit audio dac, three camera setup, awesome built quality, 64 GB with SD slot, and my personal favourite the included band&oulphsen headphones
Hamza Amir yeah that's true that's true. I didn't get mine. I was having some issues getting mine.
u r great man..thx for ur reviews..can u please tell should upgrade from htc10 to htc u ultra?..and thx again
this phone copies the v20 but the v20 is better in literally every way except the minor processor difference. i'll take my dac, dual camera, bigger and removable battery. and i even have google assistant on my v20 now. but that ultra is gorgeous
Steven Bowman Take that lag and boot loop issue too lol
+Steven Bowman Don't forget the speakers, they got LG beat there too. Dam it's so sexy tho lol
Hells favorite angel mike I think you mean 6 months later

Steven Bowman it's like when you're scrolling through the pages on your home screen and in between it just freezes for a second and it returns to normal
Flushify : "The phone has been nice and flush, so it's been flushified." This one had me rolling for a while :))
800 bucks for a phone that isn't even waterproof meanwhile I paid 550 bucks for my Galaxy S5 and it is waterproof. Definitely a rip off in my book no matter how good it looks.
My boy!
Hey, Floss, what's that weather widget that you're always using?
Obey theMonkey beautiful widgets angry birds with the background removed #salute
Thank you so much
750 and no OLED. no thanks.
nbookie LCD is more expensive.
Chen Peng LOL no its not 😂
OLED are way more expansive
Fatih Özcelik it actually is.
32Natban no its not, the LCD Technologie is way Cheaper than OLED Technologie .
See Samsung OLED Displays and LG OLED Displays
Amoled and OLED aren't the same thing, and production cost of Amoled isn't more expensive than LCD, it's just that Samsung is the only producer of it so they sell it expensive to others
Great vid Floss :D but can't blame HTC for the processor since Samsung paid Qualcomm to get first dibs on the new 835 ahead of other companies like LG.
#Salute #TeamXerxes very disappointed with HTC.
+Only1LikeM3 Agreed #Salute
Just how long did that take to boot up!
Ima flushify my toilet whenever i go for a major go
i think I've read that no wired 3.5 headphones will work with U ultra with adapter. Is that true?
flossy i guess i will go with the of lg g6 cause you said it's beast mode.
Hey flossy isn't it true that these water resistant phones don't protect from salt water?
Great work as usual. Love this channel!!!! Congrats on the subs-- 574k and going strong. I've been a fan since the hTC Evo/Motorola Photon days.
"Yo look at that back!" 😂😂😂 reminded me of opening Christmas presents as a kid
are the speakers on the phone better then the Moto z droid force
Why don't they matte black instead of this fingerprint magnet?
Floss, correct me if I am wrong, but I thought their flagship is the successor to the HTC 10, and not this?
Did you say 16 meg front camera?
Yo Floss I wanted to ask ..i always watch your videos, what is your favorite phone??
I agree about the phone not having wireless charging and the small battery for a phone that has a 5.7 inch and a .2 inch ticker LCD screen. I have a GS7 Edge and Moto Z Force Droid. You got to have one of the other. If you make a glass back phone you have to have both a big battery and wireless charging.
I has a USB C connection for the headphones why would it need a headphone jack as well?
what music are you playing at the end of the video?
Would like to see the battery test .
can you do a full review of the mate 9 please
how does it compare to 7plus speakers?
You live near Jaime Rivera probably because he also lives in Queens, or so he said.
yo Floss, I've seen other videos where's there's screen bleeding.. let us know if you have the same problem in your real review! thanks
please tell us how the headphones sound and man I miss my Note 7 like you bro!!!
many companies are trying to minimize the camera hump and HTC managed to make it even deeper. good job HTC
@11:54 you still using the note 7 huh?
A side by side comparison with the LG G6 please..
Are you gunna get the p10?
Floss great initial hands on...the Back looks pearl Black ULTRA. Please do call signal strength / quality...low battery for such a big device.
Hey Floss, the HTC U ULTRA is $599.00 now on the HTC website. The only thing I see that you forgot to mention in your unboxing and review of this phone is the advantage the consumer gets from the HTC UH OH protection. That to me is a major deal. And if you don't use it because you're a careful person, you get $100 off your next HTC phone. That's a winner in my book Brah. If you decide to order it again, I'm really interested to know what you think about the blue color.
As usual Flossy, review on point. Keep up the great vids and influence of tech. Keep it strong soldier, RAH!
man you are the most honest person in reviewing any phone im one of the HTC fan but all what u said about missing feature from phone which could make it better i agree with 100 %
