REVIEW<br />
Edge Sense is still a feature, so squeezing is<br />
another way of interacting with the device. There<br />
are pressure sensors in the sides of the device in<br />
the lower half that trigger certain commands.<br />
Display<br />
As mentioned, the fingerprint scanner has been moved<br />
to the rear to allow for a screen similar to some rivals.<br />
The U11+ has a 6in screen, with an 18:9 aspect ratio<br />
and a Quad HD+ resolution (2880x1440).<br />
One of our complaints with the U11 was the more<br />
standard display which wasn’t as exciting as rivals,<br />
so an 82 percent screen-to-body ratio is much more<br />
competitive. The U11+ will support HDR10 but via a<br />
firmware update.<br />
Overall the screen looks good, although LCD isn’t<br />
everyone’s choice over AMOLED. It’s crisp and bright<br />
so you need to decide if 6in is the right size for you.<br />
Processor, memory and storage<br />
The U11+ still has a Snapdragon 835 processor and<br />
although there’s a version with 4GB of RAM and<br />
64GB of storage, we’ll get the 6/128GB model as<br />
standard in the UK which is great news.<br />
It makes the price tag and value for money even<br />
better and there’s still a microSD card slot should you<br />
really need to add more. Most users won’t with online<br />
backup services like Google Photos, though.<br />
Like any top-tier smartphone, we’ve found<br />
performance to be silky smooth. We’ve had no issues<br />
waiting for apps to load, multi-tasking and the like. As<br />
you can see, it benchmarks with the best of them.<br />
