In <strong>2017</strong> as we see bezels shrink and screens get taller,<br />

the HTC U Ultra has gone full traditional phablet – it’s<br />

a big old device at 162.4x79.8x8mm, housing a 5.7in<br />

Super LCD display with a 2560x1440 resolution and<br />

513ppi. The screen produces colours excellently, and<br />

we have no complaints when viewing video, web<br />

browsing or playing games.<br />

Then there’s also a small, thin strip screen at the<br />

top of the device like we saw on the LG V10 and V20.<br />

It’s two inches with a resolution of 1040x60.<br />

We can’t say that this is a feature we ever hankered<br />

after, and in fact now that we have it on the U Ultra,<br />

it’s kind of annoying. Not because it makes an already<br />

large phone even bigger, but because it also isn’t very<br />

useful. You can scroll through customisable panels<br />

for weather (the best one), app shortcuts, reminder,<br />

calendar, favourite contacts and music controls.<br />
