HTC was one of the first few smartphone manufacturers to start rolling out Android 7.0 Nougat for their flagship handsets quickly. HTC release the HTC 10 Android 7.0 Nougat update a couple of months back and even now the update hasn’t reached all users across the globe.

HTC has been known for launching multiple smartphones every year, ranging from their flagship devices and low-mid range handsets in the Desire lineup. This year the company is expected to do the same, but it seems that they might be looking to cut down on the releases so instead of flooding the market with a dozen models, HTC could be halving that.
So we knew that HTC had something to announce on the 12th of January and sure enough they did. The company did not unveil just one phone but rather there are two phones that have been officially announced. These phones are part of HTC’s 2017 flagship lineup and they are the HTC U Ultra and the HTC U Play.
