On top of this, Quandt provided a few more tidbits of information: the display will likely make use of Gorilla Glass protection; the device will have NFC, Bluetooth 5.0, USB Type-C connectivity; and the U11 Life won’t house a headphone jack.

Meanwhile, it’s also said that the unit will ship with HTC’s active noise canceling USonic headphones, which arrived with the U11 earlier this year, and will feature that device’s Edge Sense technology (as notedin a previous leak).

Price details were also hinted at in the latest rumor, with Quandt speculating that the handset would go on sale for around 400 euros in Germany (~$472), and in two colors: Ice White and Sapphire Blue.

The prospect of a new HTCphone for under $500 with the latest version of stock Android (and almost guaranteed fast updates) sounds all right by me, and we should have more for you on the HTCU11 Life in the coming weeks. Until then, what are your current thoughts on the HTCU11 Life’s potential? Let us know in the comments.
