The HTC U 11 ranks eighth on our list of best Android smartphones of 2017. However, the fall launch season is here, and HTC wants to revive its latest flagship model with a refresh in order to be more competitive against offerings from Google, Samsung and LG.

We’ve heard about the possibility of a U 11 Plus smartphone, and it appears that the device will be HTC’s next big announcement. The company confirmed a press event on Twitter for November 2. Along with the confirmation was an image with the letter ‘U’ and “Save the Date.” This just about confirms it.

With the addition of a U 11 Plus, HTC’s U smartphone lineup will be brought up to four total models as follows: U 11, U Ultra, U Play, and U 11 Plus. It’s up to you to decide which model is best for your personal wants and tastes, but HTC wants you to know that they have you covered. Other than the teaser image, not much is known about the upcoming device, though there are bound to be leaks in the forthcoming weeks. One should expect better specs all around and a refined design language, perhaps entailing an 18:9 Quad HD screen. Hopefully we’ll get US availability options as well. We’ll find out soon enough.
