So the LGG6 is actual garbage. S8/S8+/note 8, lgv30, iPhone X ALL have issues (namely screens, lag and connectivity issues). Yet remain on shelves. The U11 hardly has any. And it's pulled. They claim poor sales. Now HOW is it to sell. When it was NEVER displayed? On top of being priced $50 ABOVE HTCs msrp?
The U11 is literally the BEST flagship on sprints current lineup. (minus Note 8 (which is essentially a s8+ with a stylus) and iphone x (which is severly overpriced and they removed MORE hardware from it) and they pull it?
That's the 3rd time in a row sprint did htc dirty. They killed the exclusive E8. By not only putting it on shelves 3 months after it launched. They charged $50 MORE over msrp, and it was only $50 LESS than the m8 it was a budget copy of.
Killed the exclusive Bolt (was claimed sprints FASTEST device at the time, sprint never delivered on that statement. Overpriced it yet again. Then killed it off. Not because of HTC. But because if sprint itself.
Now the U11 just 7 months after its release? Saying poor sales. When the shit sold out and back ordered before it even LAUNCHED in the U.S.? Despite sprint being the ONLY carrier to sell it directly. On top of it being the FIRST to recieve 8.0 ota update? Before G6 and s8/s8+ that were both out MONTHS before the u11?
I've been a customer since 2012. And have a TRUE unlimited plan that I'll lose PERMENANTLY if I ever left.
Yet I'm seriously considering doing so. If all Im left to choose from is crappy LGs, Laggy Samsung's, or iPhones I would NEVER even consider. Or the few low end Motorola devices that recently replaced HTC.
BULLSHIT!
And to top it off. Sprint is the ONLY carrier, unlocked devices do NOT work on.
No oneplus, no honor/huawei, blu, xiomi isn't even offered in the U.S.
My point is it isn't always htc at fault. But the carriers who sell them. Namely Sprint and T-Mobile.
Or is it, that brands like Samsung,LG and Apple are actually sweating HTC. That they PAY carriers to fuck them over?
Because here in the U.S. HTC is the ONLY brand capable of beating an iPhone. 🤔

It's not top spot any more. But remove Note 8 and iPhone X from factoring in. It still is way better than the rest they carry currently. Lgg6 didn't even hit the radar. Not even in top 10. And it had 3 months on the U11. Yet Thats still on shelves.
HTC sells it including the unlocked version for $650 usd.
Sprint sold it at $696 usd.
BestBuy sells it legit for $750 usd that's for the SPRINT model.
And they wonder why it sold poorly? Absolute genius right there.😑
