    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.

      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.

      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.

      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

      Hassan 504 don't get a LG phone, they have severe issues with their motherboards. Go for Samsung, OnePlus, or Huawei

    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?

    Dear MKBHD: Thankyou for being incredibly blunt and truthful about a phone. My biggest gripe with your reviews are that for Samsung and Apple you tend to love bragging about the super positive things, but are way too polite about the negatives and mostly always turn them into a "less positive". Whether thats out of fear that you wont get sent review units or higher priority, it doesnt matter, that isnt how you got where you are today. Please realize that we want to continue to see your courage and honesty, we dont want you to shy away from that based on some super awesome Samsung/Apple incentive. Stay true to what got you here mate. See you in the next one!

    Excellent Review / Rant. HTC should have priced the phone at 500$, that's the perfect price for it.

    • @DailyRants89
      @DailyRants89 Před 7 lety +29

      naw the OnePlus 3T would still be a much better buy than this at that price point.

    • @odionehijie4748

    • @supercarsofwichita9485
      @supercarsofwichita9485 Před 7 lety +3

      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.

      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.
