HTC U Ultra was unveiled back in January and pre-orders started the same month. Now, US customers who pre-ordered it should get ready to receive their units, since HTC USA started shipping these expensive 5.7-inch phablets this Monday.

In the US, the price tag of the HTC U Ultra is $749 USD. While the handset comes unlocked, it only works with T-Mobile and AT&T. Its specs include a Super LCD display with 2,560X1,440 pixels and Corning Gorilla Glass 5 protection, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 821 processor, 4 GB RAM, 64 GB or 128 GB internal storage, 12 MP UltraPixel rear camera and 16 MP front image snapper, all driven by a 3,000 mAh battery.

HTC U Ultra comes with Android Nougat and a rich set of AI-driven features. Since HTC USA mentioned on Twitter that "General shipments begin this Thursday," those who did not pre-order the U Ultra but would like to get one should find them in stores starting tomorrow.
