    Does this have a notification led?

  • jassssone on 13/01/2018 - 20:05

    Is this Single Sim or Dual Sim version

    • aussie216618 on 13/01/2018 - 20:26

      I think it is a single sim phone by reading their description

    • Being Askhole on 13/01/2018 - 20:47

      Amyasim ebay, JBHifi , Harvey Norman doesn't say dual sim but couple of other sites mentioned its dual sim. not sure if its true..

      Think of us
      buy mobile

      Also, Here is HTC page about HTC U ULTRA which should give all detailed info.

        Just putting it out there. HTC was my fave oem back in the days when I had the M7 and M8.

        • Diji1 on 13/01/2018 - 22:00

          Pretty sure HTC are not an OEM.

        • otter-raptor on 13/01/2018 - 23:10

        • johnnyle on 13/01/2018 - 23:34

          @Diji1: they did the Pixel 1st generation, but not the 2nd.

          @johnnyle: HTC manufactured the Pixel 2 but not the Pixel 2 XL (LG)

        • pennypincher98 on 14/01/2018 - 07:27

          @johnnyle: They did the first and second. But technically Google bought some of HTC's people to design the Pixel 2 so they could use their ideas, so HTC doesn't have to be mentioned.

      • garage sale on 14/01/2018 - 07:52

        besides apple, others (android) have started to dump the 3.5mm jack, and blue tooth head phones are getting cheaper ….. though battery life of those isn’t as long as the phone an a charge.

        love my $350 cabled head phones but reality is in the future i will be needing to use an adapter, or compromise on what phone i get based on 3.5mm jack.

      Such a shame, the HTC 10 had decent sound too.

    • gezza90 on 14/01/2018 - 01:35

      That is why I got the HTC 10. I carry BT headphones and when the battery runs out, I switch to normal AUX headphones 😀

    3000 mAh for 1440 screen, can it last one whole day without charging? plus no 3.5mm jack, why?

    didn't this used to be around $800-900?

    this or the Axon 7?

    • ccsvchost on 13/01/2018 - 20:44

      Axon 7 has a better screen and is dual sim and has a 3.5mm jack. This one is better at everything else.

      • EssendonUser on 13/01/2018 - 22:24

        Both these phones have the same screen resolution, I would prefer HTC ultra screen over the other though..HTC one draw back is that usb C to 3.5 mm audio will only work with HTC adapter and not with any generic ones out in the market.. The earphone included in the box is already a usb c.

        • Munki on 13/01/2018 - 23:05

          My wife's u11 headphone adapter works on my pixel 2. It also sounds better than the stock pixel 2 adapter.

    • deanylev on 13/01/2018 - 20:56

      I'd personally go for the Axon 7. Better display, better speakers, bigger battery, less fragile build.

      • homersyd on 13/01/2018 - 21:51

        yea i think i agree with you there…axon 7 sounds better. Thanks :)

        • CVonC on 13/01/2018 - 21:54

          Cameras on this are better though hmm

          What about the LG V20 for $383.20?

        • garage sale on 14/01/2018 - 07:56

          i have the v20 , good phone except it’s not oled screen, paid $366 for it on one of the ebay 20% off moments .

          also to wireless charge you need to change metal back to plastic , though it does have a removeable battery.

          no bootloops …. that happened in another LG model, and LG us to make one of the nexus phones, never a problem.

          bit like samsung and batteries … fixed in next model ….. v20 has been out for long time now.

    • EssendonUser on 13/01/2018 - 22:12

      No…htc u ultra has better screen..better snapdragon 821 and overall look and feel..it is a premium phone with great sound spectrum.. Would any day prefer this over 2016 year Axon 7 ( i have used ultra)

      • CVonC on 13/01/2018 - 22:52
        +1

        $50 more though and you get VIP ACP with the Axon. We don't know if this U Ultra from Allphones is dual SIM too.

          HTC has been the nerds darling since the windows pocket PC days when they were making xdas for O2 in the uk. Then the rise of the Phoenix with the One M7, so there will always be fans. But nothing is more prevalent here than the phone snobs that just won't want a ZTE no matter if it was given away.

          So 50 cheaper, dual sim, Aussie stock, and AMOLED screen with Daydream compatibility and 2 years accident cover. https://giphy.com/gifs/fGs18KxtuvE7C

        • garage sale on 14/01/2018 - 08:02

          yep bought one for my 11year old …..2 year warranty is a bonus though he has never broken a device since he got his first one at 6 yrs old …..

          zte amd snob value …. not a major brand in australia, known more for supermarket phones and modems …… big overseas.

  • deva22 on 13/01/2018 - 20:26

    Seems like a decent replacement for my Nexus 5X… The price is right… Anything better value out there?

    • gezza90 on 14/01/2018 - 01:39

      A good upgrade would be LG G6 in this deal
      Mum has been using it since August and it's a solid phone. Dual camera is a big plus

      • deva22 on 14/01/2018 - 11:31

        Ja, was considering both. But $150 more I don't know…. Plus the HTC has Oreo updates already. Hmmmm…

  • bert-lifts on 14/01/2018 - 01:24
    +1

    The battery in this is pathetic. No reason for it to be only 3000 mah in a phone this big and thick.

    With that being said at this price it's pretty good value, but HTC must have been high when they designed this phone.

    • pennypincher98 on 14/01/2018 - 07:29

      To be fair, I think everyone seems to carry "a battery for their battery" in Google's words but yes the battery life is quite poor. Reasonable for the price paid though.

      • garage sale on 14/01/2018 - 08:07

        depends what notifications and background apps people have running in regards to battery life, and if the OS has been tuned for battery saving when screen is blanked.

        though there are some china droids with huge batteries now (4500 mah +) as a sales pitch rather than how thin the phone is.

        • pennypincher98 on 14/01/2018 - 09:53

          Personally I don't care for thin phones, I'd rather have a sturdy phone that lasts me.

  • MINKx on 14/01/2018 - 02:05
    +4

    I think, to be fair, the rant from MKBHD was when the phone still selling at around 750USD. For 348 AUD , it's a pretty good deal (assuming this would come true) …

  • Ceri on 14/01/2018 - 03:15

    Was tempted to get this during the pre-order periode. Would bang my head on the wall seeing the massive price drop. One of the biggest premium phone flop and price drop as of late imho

  • garage sale on 14/01/2018 - 08:09

    except for samsung and google, most android flagship phones take a huge dive after 12 months …..it’s why we buy android ….

  • ChaLuo on 14/01/2018 - 08:51

    This thing is a badly designed behemoth of a phone. Very poor 69.7% (gsmarena) screen:body ratio.

    I agree with the other person who said Axon 7 is a much better deal atm.

  • pyramid on 14/01/2018 - 10:34

    Warning: this has glass body so do not use phone without case. I bought from amex Harvey Norman deal and broke back glass as was not using case…

    • kerfuffle on 15/01/2018 - 23:45

      Why I stopped using HTC and drifted off to the Pixel 2 (why does everyone use glass these days)

  • Kingdubber on 16/01/2018 - 12:56

    Thanks, but bought the LG v20 instead. I think it's a much better phone for around $35 more.

    • GuniGuGu on 16/01/2018 - 15:56

      I looked at them, not sure how you made the conclusion 'much better'. Design wise? Maybe, but that's subjective.
      Software: U Ultra is already planned for 8.0.
      Spec wise: U Ultra wins

      • Kingdubber on 16/01/2018 - 16:03

        V20 also due for 8.0 in first quarter. Has better rear Cameras. Much better manual control. Quad DAC with 3.5mm. better mics. Better screen to body ratio. IR, removable bigger battery.

        • GuniGuGu on 16/01/2018 - 16:08

          Fair enough, I think the screen/body ratio is pretty minuscule, and camera is pretty close to a wash with better FF on HTC. The headphone jack, IR and battery doesn't bother me, but your points are fair. Horses for courses. Enjoy your new device :)

        • ktks on 16/01/2018 - 21:11
          +1

          I have both. To be honest I find the V20 slightly better. The camera takes nice wide shots and the double tap to wake is much responsive than the Ultra. Battery is also slightly better and V20 is much slimmer and lighter.

          The down side of V20 is it doesn't have an app drawer. Also HTC sense is slightly better.

  • CheepAsChips on 16/01/2018 - 19:53

    OP
    1. Is the HTC Ultra offered by Amaysim a dual sim model. Is it same as JB HiFi & Harvey Norman's Ultra.
    I tried phoning Amaysim, but really, after nearly 1.5 hours waiting in queue and still waiting. This is aweful service.
    2. Has anyone been able to get a local price match.

    • Being Askhole on 16/01/2018 - 20:47

      Couldn't find info to identify if it is single or dual sim model.
      I have sent query to amaysim and let u know once i get response but i guess it would be single sim coz no mention on dual sim at JB, HN, this ebay listing.

      Some info on SIM as per HTC these comes as in 2 models Single SIM model & Dual SIM model

      Its SINGLE SIM model. Hope this helps.

      • CheepAsChips on 17/01/2018 - 02:15

        Single sim model is a deal breaker for me.
        Thanks OP for quick response.
        May be helpful to add single sim to specs.
        JB hifi offering is a dual sim.

        • jassssone on 17/01/2018 - 09:51
