HTC's upcoming flagship handset is just around the corner and while we know it will feature a unique touch sensitive frame to control certain features, today the company has teased us with yet another feature.

According to a tweet on HTC USA's Twitter account, the HTC U 11 will come with "360 real-life recording". There is no explanation as to how exactly it will work or what it actually means, but we are assuming it is some sort of 360-degree video recording feature. It's nice to see HTC finally moving on from just making metal smartphones to something innovative.

The HTC U 11 is suppose to go official on 16 May, which means that there are just four days to go. There is a possibility that HTC will release another teaser, or maybe it will wait for the launch day.

According to previous leaks, the smartphone will come with a button-less design and feature the same ‘liquid surface’ body that was seen on the U Ultra and U Play. As for the leaked specifications, expect a 5.5-inch display with a quad-HD resolution of 2,560 x 1,440 pixels, a Snapdragon 835 chipset and two storage variants of 64 GB and 128 GB. While there is no confirmation of the RAM, it is speculated to be 4 GB or even 6 GB. The rear camera could feature a 12 MP sensor while on the front we could see a 16 MP selfie shooter.

It is expected to run on Android 7.0 Nougat OS with HTC Sense 9 UI. It should also come with HTC’s new virtual assistant, ‘Sense Companion’, which made debut on the HTC U Ultra.
