HTC puts AI at the heart of new U-series smartphones


Taiwanese manufacturer HTC has unveiled two inaugural models for its new U series of smartphones. The 5.2in and 5.7in handsets both come with an AI-enabled voice assistant called Sense Companion, enhancing user experiences with contextual suggestions and recommendations. 

The HTC U Ultra is the brand's new top-of-the-range 5.7in smartphone. It stands out from competitors thanks to a second screen to the top right of the phone's main display. This fully customisable screen mainly serves to display notifications and audio playlist info, keeping the main screen uncluttered. The U Ultra runs a Snapdragon 835 processor, and has 4GB of RAM and 64GB of onboard storage (which can be extended with a microSD memory card).
