HTC has thus far released the HTC U Play, HTC U Ultra and HTC U 11 in 2017. According to a trusted source who posted just this morning, HTC could be onto what’s coming next.

Detailed over on Twitter were specifications for a now rumored HTC mid-range handset with code-name ‘Ocean Life.’ As embedded in the name, the rumored device is expected to run Sense 9.0 with Edge Sense, meaning there will be pressure-sensitive sides for squeezing like such on the HTC U 11. HTC did say it would announce new Edge Sense features sometime soon, and this may just be when.

As far as specifications go, sources claim that the mysterious HTC device will boast a 5.2-inch Full HD display and be powered by the all-new Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 processing unit. For cameras, the handset could have both a 16MP sensor at the rear and a 16MP UltraPixel lens on front. Bluetooth 5.0 is said to be included, and Android 7.1.1 could run from the very box where HTC USonic headphones will be included with each unit.

The one figure that could disappoint is battery life. The rumored capacity is just 2,600mAh, which let’s just agree, is far too small for a phone of this size in 2017. Battery sizes on board HTC smartphones in the past haven’t impressed, but as we know from testing, a phone’s battery capacity isn’t everything when testing for battery duration. HTC’s lightweight skin and up-to-date software along with the new power efficient 660 chipset could help provide a longer-lasting battery than we think, as was the case with HTC U 11.

HTC has begun to turn things around for the better according to recent reports, and we bet another Edge Sense device will do only good for the somewhat struggling company.
