hi guys this is Tech Zilla back again with another video this time its a quick one its my 24
hours impressions video of the HTC U Ultra how im finding the device having owned it
for 24 hours build quality we'll talk about usage battery etc tomorrow i will be releasing
the 48 hr impressions video and the day after i will be releasing the 72 hour impressions
video to give you guys a nice overall balanced you know look of how im finding the U Ultra
because a lot of you out there are looking to buy the device so i tought i would break
it down into 10 minutes videos over the first 3 days now lets talk about the build quality
build quality so far i have had no issues with i got the black one no problems at all
the back is a finger print magnet as you can see i have a case on here which i will be
doing a video review on shortly so you might want to subscribe to my channel to check that
out accessories are extremely difficult to find for the U Ultra thats first off so if
your looking if your like me and you got this case addiction and you always put a screen
protector on your device well your gonna struggle at the moment i actully got a screen protector
on here i'll be reviewing that later on today so definately subscribe if you want to see
that this is probably the best screen protector glass screen protector out there for the U
Ultra at the moment right so accessories wise it is difficult so lets kick off with how
am i finding the fingerprint sensor lightning no issue at all with the fingerprint sensor
so that is super fast no problem now the capacitive keys down here work fine but their very very
low down you got the chin up to this point here you can see it there but look how low
those capacitive keys are they are so low that when you are trying to handle the device
that its a big ass device and your trying to put your thumb down there so i would say
this is a 2 handed device if your going to use it seriously think about that 2 handed
device why they have put them down here i do not know they should have moved them up
higher but thats my opinion for you it might be different no lets talk about the speakers
top and bottom much much better than i thought they were going to be thay are also a lot
better than the HTC10 i'll be doing a comparison video between them the HTC 10 and the U Ultra
so you might want to check that out guys i haven't done it yet but it is being prepared
as we speak this has got better speakers than the HTC 10 much better come out of that EBay
is launching another thing i wanted to talk about quickly with the fingerprint reader
which i didn't say its almost like its too sensitive i know it sounds crazy but just
a touch i mean literally its like its like Huawei speed fingerprint sensor but very sensitive
its crazy sensitive really some of you will prefer it some of you will find it an irritation
i don't mind it but im just letting you guys know secondary display know this is a different
ball game altogether this all depends on what you as individuals find useful alot people
said if your a power user its very handy no i think its the other way around i'm a power
user right and i find this sometimes really irritating you can see there look how many
notifications im getting popping up these are all different chat rooms i'm apart of
shout to the Talk well you see what it said there telegram 17 new messages on 2 chats
you keep watching this as i go along it will just pop up pop up pop up sometimes its like
a machine gun look it will just keep going bang bang bang it willl just keep coming and
coming to the point where it becomes pointless having it because you have to drag this down
notification panel to see you know whats going on because to just do it from there is difficult
its really difficult i noticed on i don't know how it happened i don't know if it was
a fluke or what but in the battery usage this seemed to use 6% of the battery 6% it hasn't
happened since in the 24 hours but i've noticed that so whether this is not efficient yet
it probably will become better with updates over time who knows but at the moment its
i would say if your a power user its not super great i tell what i do like it for is when
im using spotify because it comes up here so i can control the music and so on now if
i switch this off see the secondary display has gone off now you can double tap it to
bring it up there you go its not always the most consistent thing you can see that there
and you can scroll trough it like that see know this is an issue here now im listening
to tracks on Spotify or whatever i want to change track now some of you are going to
say ohhh your nitpicking its not nitpicking its my experience i'm trying to change track
and i've got notifications galore going bang bang bang bang i cant change a track until
they stop coming so i can swipe across which is an irritation look its stiil look at the
messages galore coming in so whether you find that useful its entirely your own experience
for me its a little bit annoying personally cameras i've tested them a little bit i am
preparing a Pixel XL VS U Ultra photo comparison or camera comparison battle so you know you
want to check that out front facing cameras pretty good i got to be honest and the back
camera apart from this big ass ugly hump its really its quite a good camera honestly its
not bad at all its probably the best camera HTC has put into you know into one of their
devices its better than the HTC 10 definately ive compared it to that but as i say i will
be doing that in a more indepth videos of the camera of this device now what else we've
talked about speakers are great yes lets talk about this this is another thing i am finding
which is irritating well not irriatating sorry lets start with the headphones that come with
it their the USB type C headphones and this actually caught me out earlier on i was listening
to music with these plugged in and the battery went down to i think 5% and i was stuck i
couldnt use these i had to unplug them and plug the charger in to get it going you know
power charge the phone up now thats the first time this non non 3.5mm headphone jack port
is really irritating me not having one but on the plus side the quality of these is absolutey
phenonmenal absolutely phenonmenal super super good quality really clear good bass excellent
and that no exaggeration thats me being honest with you guys and i plug these in here you
know what i'll save my more indepth in my 48 hours impressions video of these but rest
assured they sound excellent really really excellent but as i say i will go into more
depth with this and irratations im finding with this in my 48 hour video otherwise i
will just end up going on here for the next 30 minutes talking about this device touch
sensitivity of the screen perfect no issue there at all does it lag it does sometimes
but then i need to let the phone settle down a bit because it is 24 hours later i also
have the HTC sense companion thats finally here and let me just click on it real quick
hang in there i just need a little bit of time to prepare some suggestions for you i'll
provide a variety of suggestions here how long they'll stay depends on their type and
relevance now i've had this on the phone for about an hour hour and a half and its still
saying that so how useful it becomes i don't know you know thats neither here or there
now lets touch on battery last of all in my 24 hours im going to do this in three over
the 3 days im going to try differnet styles of battery usage to accommodate everyone so
light user medium user heavy user ok now using this phone as a heavy user i have found with
7 hours of on battery usage i get around about 5 hours 15 minutes of screen on time with
about 5 % battery left thats what i've found so far so if your a heavy user heavu heavy
user like me if your going to use over 5 hours screen on time this will drain the battery
off charge within i'd say 7 hours you have a dead battery now my 48 hours impressions
i'll give you medium usage results and they are genuine i will i have been using genuinely
like that and i'll release that video tomorrow and in the 72 hour video i will give you light
usage of the device but anyway thats my impressions to start with is it worth $800 in the US is
it worth £650 in the UK i can't answer that for you guys thats something you need to work
for yourself all i can do is give you my opinion i'll leave a link in the description where
you can pick this up from and import it because i got the Dual Sim version and it costs under
£600 anyway guys thats it subscribe to my channel right here give me a thumbs up if
you liked the video thumbs down if you didn't share my video with everyone you know on your
social media and forums and tune in tomorrow for my 48 hour impressions video this is Tech
Zilla saying take care and i'll see you all again real soon bye for now
