HTC is soon releasing its new smartphone called U11 EYEs. The device is slated to launch on January 15th, which is later today. Ahead of its official announcement, key specifications and photos of the handset has been leaked.
The leak comes directly from HTC’s very own testing page where it mentions all the key details of U11 EYEs. For starters, the Taiwanese phone maker is touting big on its edge sense (also includes updated Edge launcher). It has even showcased its transparent back cover which has open sides. It is quite funny to see HTC cutting down safety factor for open edges.

The mobile packs in dual Nano SIM slots and supports 4G+ with VoLTE. It is powered by 1.8GHz octa-core Snapdragon 652 Mobile Platform and sports 4GB RAM. It has 64GB ROM and allows further expansion.
There is a 5MP + 5MP dual camera setup at the front. It has beauty mode and supports Face Recognition. The back side sports a 12MP UltraPixel 3 shooter with LED Flash. Just under the rear camera is a fingerprint sensor which provides additional security.
