The Oreo update will also bring visual changes to the HTC’s sense U.I. There is no word on Treble support, but we hope the company brings it since it will fasten the update cycle. The HTC U11 packs Edge sense technology for new squeeze interaction. It is powered by the Snapdragon 835, has support for BoomSound Hi-Fi Edition speakers, and four optimally positioned omni-directional microphones that work together to record audio from all directions.
Since the update has just started rolling out, it might be a while before it reaches everyone. In case if you haven’t received the update prompt, you can manually check the system settings.
