Apart from the enhanced artificial intelligence based voice assistant Edge companion, HTC has added a new feature known as Edge Sense. This feature can be a replacement for camera shutter key or launching certain key actions by detecting pressure applied on the side. For example, the front facing camera can be changed to rear facing camera when press against its side without manually pressing the button. It is certainly a useful feature that reduces hand movement when performing tasks.
The 12MP UltraPixel 3 camera is one of its biggest highlight. It has a sensor size at 1.4 micrometers with large aperture up to f/1.7 along with optical and electronic image stabilization in place. Its camera was rated the top with 90 score that beat out Galaxy S8 and iPhone 7 Plus.
