It is reported that the HTC U 11 back is almost similar to the HTC U Play and U Ultra smartphones. The bottom edge of the device sports a speaker grille, a USB Type-C port, and two holes -which could be for an in-call primary microphone and noise cancellation. The top edge of the smartphone can be seen with one hole for the secondary microphone, and one for ejecting the SIM/ microSD slot tray.

This is a feature that will be infused on the side edges of the screen allowing users to interact by 'squeezing' the edge of the phone frame. The report also suggests that this feature can be used to perform tasks like launching Camera, HTC Sense Companion, Google Assistant, or even turning on the Wi-Fi Hotspot.
According to Gadgets 360, the HTC U 11 is speculated to arrive a 5.5-inch QHD (1440x2560 pixels) display with Corning Gorilla Glass 5 protection.
