The 1080p videos, no matter 30 or 60 fps, pack a serious punch as well. Those are one of the best 4K videos we've encountered lately.

The dynamic range is great, while the Dual Pixel auto-focus really helps keep the focus accurate all the time. The 4K videos are really sharp with great colors and plenty of detail. As you can imagine, the FLAC codec increases the file size, so you should use it only when high-res audio is of utmost importance. You can opt for high-res audio capturing for your videos - then the HTC U11+ would use FLAC codec and save the clips in MKV containers.

The videos come in MP4 containers and in spite of the low bitrate - the sound is impressive. The 3D audio uses AAC codec (96Kbps) and is the default option. Thanks to the 4 mics on the HTC U11+ its camcorder can capture either 3D audio with acoustic zoom or high-res audio. There is a 5min cap for the 4K vids, which might be inconvenient for some. HTC U11+ can take 4K videos at 30 fps and 1080p clips with either 30 or 60 fps. HTC U11+ 8MP selfie samples 4K video, 3D or FLAC audio For the low-light occasions we would once again suggest using the Auto HDR option. There is impressive amount of resolved detail, the colors and contrast are excellent, while the dynamic range is above average. The specs sure sound uninspiring, but the selfies we took turned out quite good. HTC U11+ sports an 8MP selfie camera with f/2.0 lens and fixed focus. HTC U11+ shoots unimpressive panoramas Great 8MP selfies On the flip side, you do get a decent amount of detail and plenty of resolution. Stitching defects are common across the U11+'s panoramic shots, which is something we thought to have been dealt with a long time ago even on the cheap $100 phones. The U11+ captures decent panoramas tall about 3,200 px, but they are nothing to really phone home about. Samsung Galaxy S8 in our photo compare tool The samples we used for our tool were shot with Auto HDR as intended by HTC, but you can select from the dropdown menu the same U11+ photos with HDR turned off. While the U11+ regular samples turned out a bit more detail, the HDR ones are pretty much the same as Google's.įor further pixel-peeping, here are a few links to our photo compare tool and its extensive library of devices.

If you leave the HDR option to ON, you will eliminate the chance for blurry photos, but shooting is noticeably slower.Īnd speaking about the Google Pixel 2 XL, we just couldn't miss the opportunity to do a quick shootout. HTC U11+ 12MP camera samples with HDR Boost We'd suggest keeping the Auto HDR option on for the daylight shots only when the weather is everything but sunny. Sometimes we noticed the shots ended up blurry while on other occasions the resolved detail took a hit. The results are quite good - the photos kept the same good colors and contrast, the dynamic range improved, and the processing got rid of the noise. The day we took the U11+ for a spin outside was sunny, but the HDR Boost (in Auto HDR) still felt the need to highlight the shadows and used stacked images for each of the scenes we snapped. If the scene needs any correction in light, these frames will be stacked up to produce an image which has noise reduced, shadows filled, and highlights recovered, all while keeping a natural look. Whenever you have HDR or HDR Auto mode enabled, the camera constantly snaps images in its buffer and analyzes them even before you press the shutter button. Just like the Google Pixel, the U11+ uses an HDR algorithm called "HDR Boost". There is great amount of resolved detail but some noise also made it to the final shots. Colors are well represented but not oversaturated, dynamic range is very good and the exposure is metered very well in situations with contrasting light. The first batch shots we snapped with HDR turned completely off. The photos taken with the U11+ look great.
#UFOCUS HTC U11 PRO#
Shooting in Pro mode will also save a RAW version of the photos you take. It comes with adjustment sliders for white balance, exposure compensation, ISO, shutter speed (up to 32s), and focus. There's a Pro mode for those who want more control over the camera. If it doesn't make sense at first, imagine that this drawer is the hamburger menu of any other app. Everything is organized into a drawer of modes and settings on the left. The camera app interface is quite simple. The camera makes use of image stacking and supports the so-called HDR Boost - where it fully utilizes that image stacking. The HTC U11+ has a 12MP UltraPixel 3 OIS camera with an f/1.7 aperture, 1.4µm pixels, UltraSpeed (read Dual Pixel) autofocus, and a dual-LED flash.
