HTC U11 Life Android One: The Mid-Range Pixel 2? [Android Authority Review]

Gabe Pérez

19 Nov, 2017

The HTC U11 Life Android One is a mix between the U11 and Pixel 2 (which HTC also made). Offering a very similar software experience to the Pixel, the U11 Life brings mid-range specs, a $350 price tag and guaranteed updates from Google.

If you want a Google Pixel 2 but don’t want to drop so much money on a phone, the HTC U11 Life with Android One is the next best thing. It’s one of the “mid-range Pixels” made under the auspices of the Android One program, only it’s made by the actual manufacturer of the regular-sized Pixel 2.

But do the U11 Life's benefits outweigh its shortcomings? Find out in Android Authority's HTC U11 Life Android One review.

Pros:

Excellent software experience
Guaranteed updates via Android One
Very good LCD display
Flagship design
Good camera for the price
Impressive included earbuds
IP67 rating
Edge Sense

Negatives:

Smallish battery
Not the fastest performance
Limited audio options
Perhaps a little overpriced
Not coming to the US
Acrylic back scratches easily.
