Possible leaked HTC 11 design and specs look to outdo its predecessor

The HTC 10 was the company’s best handset yet, but that doesn’t mean HTC has been resting since its release — in fact, the company is well underway with the development of what many assume will be called the HTC 11.

But what will the HTC 11 look like? And what kinds of features will it have under the hood? Well, a tipster has leaked both images and specs of the upcoming device, giving us a pretty good look at what we can expect.

DESIGN

Let’s start out with what the phone will look like. The leaker posted a rendered image on Weibo of what they claim is the HTC 11, which will be HTC’s flagship device for 2017.
As you can see, the device looks very similar to the HTC, both front and back. There seems to be a dual camera lens on the top right, which does away with the symmetrical design approach that HTC has traditionally taken. According to the leak, the rear-facing camera is 12-megapixels and the front-facing 8-megapixels — a bump up from the 5-megapixel shooter we saw on the HTC 10.
The leak also gave us some details about what appears to be an almost edge-to-edge display. The display will be 5.5 inches with a Quad HD resolution. That is a little larger in size than the HTC 10, but the resolution stays the same, meaning the display will be slightly less sharp — but not noticeably so.


SPECIFICATIONS

Accompanying the image is a list of specs the leak is claiming will appear on the HTC 11, starting with the processor. According to the leak, the device will include a Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 — which makes sense considering it’s Qualcomm’s flagship processor for the year.

It’s also claimed that the phone will include the new Quick Charge 4.0, which seriously improves charging times, and goes hand in hand with the Snapdragon 835. Along with that battery, we will supposedly see a 3,700mAh battery — which is a step up from the 3,000mAh battery in the HTC 10.
Next up is the claim that the phone will feature a hefty 8GB of RAM, which is up from 4GB in the HTC 10. That is a pretty huge amount of RAM, and is a little hard to believe, even if phones like the OnePlus 3 do offer 6GB of RAM. We would not be surprised to see more like 6GB of RAM in the new device, although it is possible that HTC is going a step further. According to the leak, we will also see 256GB of storage, which is a much more believable number.
