HTC is also offering a one-time replacement offer in case of a cracked screen or water damage. This offer, however, is only available if customers buy the phone from HT.com.

“Dropped my phone in dirty water and instinct was to rinse it off. The phone tried, but it could not wake up. I called HTC, it was after 4:30 pm, directly before the holiday. My replacement came next morning, 10:45 am,” a happy customer stated on UH OH moments on HTC.

HTC U Ultra: Receiving Bad Remarks

HTC U Ultra might sound an exciting new device for its fans. The device is no more than a blend of features from several other backbenchers. In addition, the battery provided (3,000mAh cell) is not enough to support the Quad HD 5.7-inch screen and the ‘second screen’ of 2-inches.

A source also proclaimed the new HTC U Ultra a combination of “failed and misguided ideas”.
