Both handsets are built with a beautifully contoured, liquid surface that’s designed to reflect the phone’s symmetrical construction, and the way it transforms light as you turn it. Created with an entirely new process where colours are bonded to the glass in multiple layers, HTC use extreme pressure and heat to mimic the natural surface tension of liquid.

As expected, the U Ultra is the larger of the two devices, measuring 162.4 x 79.8mm with a 5.7 inch display compared to the Play’s 5.2-inch display and 146 x 72.9 x 8 mm casing.

The two handsets both house a 16-megapixel front-facing BSI sensor with an UltraPixel mode, 28mm focal length and f/2.0 aperture. Both are capable of Full HD video recording, offering modes including Auto HDR, Voice Selfie and Live Make-Up.

Rear cameras differ slightly with the U Ultra offering a 12-megapixel UltraPixel sensor featuring 1.55µm pixels and an aperture of f/1.8. HTC’s U Play opts for a larger 16-megapixel rear camera with an aperture of f/2.0, phase detection autofocus and OIS.
