2. HTC U11 Plus Launched in India:
After unveiling U11 Plus back in November, this week HTC launched this smartphone in India. As always HTC is too late to launch their smartphones in India. This time too they launched this phone after 3 months. But it packs some good specs for a premium phone like Snapdragon 835 processor, 6GB RAM, and Quad HD 18:9 display. But there are some flaws as well. the first flaw is that this phone still has Snapdragon 835 processor, which is no doubt a very powerful processor but as it’s 2018 this processor is not the latest one. Also this phone only has single rear camera setup, though on paper the camera looks very impressive but the trend has already changed. The phone is also overpriced for what it is offering.

We have seen quite a bit smartphones by Motorola getting delayed launches in one of their major market, India. But seems like Motorola is crossing it’s limit by launching almost 8 months old smartphone i.e. Moto Z2 Force. Yes, Motorola is going to launch Moto Z2 Force in India which was unveiled back in July 2017. Though the phone packs some interesting specs like Snapdragon 835, it will become a generation old chipset almost after 2 months. Also the screen ratio is the older one i.e. 16:9 ratio. Good thing here is that Motorola will bundle a free Moto TurboPower Mod with every Moto Z2 Force. But it will be a decent deal only if they launch this phone at a very aggressive price.
