HTC U11 colors: what shade do you want for your next phone?

The color of your new phone is one of the biggest decisions you need to make when you're looking to upgrade. You're likely to be stuck with it for upwards of two years and looking at it multiple times a day, so it's vital that it's a color you like.

Fortunately, the HTC U11 comes in a variety of shades, so you can make sure you buy the perfect phone for your money. It's also worth noting each phone has a glass back with a two-tone effect that means it appears as a slightly different color depending on what way you're holding it.

There are five different colors available for the HTC U11, but not every version of the phone is on sale in every region. We've listed all five versions, along with where they're actually available, but note that this may be subject to change.
