Hailed as a box-office hit shortly after its commercial debut, the HTC U11 can still be considered a good start for a new direction in the Taiwanese company’s evolution, even if the moderately popular squeezable phone ultimately failed to turn a profit.
Of course, HTC doesn’t just sell one device, so it’s entirely possible that the U11 actually made the OEM a bit of money in the April – June 2017 quarter, with other products and divisions flopping and cancelling out the 5.5-incher’s gains.
