The company’s Sense Companion aims to be more than Google Assistant in such a way that it creates a symbiotic relationship with the user in order to manage your phone in a more personal way, as mentioned by the source. Meanwhile, the secondary display that’s located above its main screen is sort of similar with the LG V10 and V20 that it displays additional info and add shortcuts. Although, the company mentions that it will rely on AI software to make the contents more useful and personal.

The HTC U Ultra will be up for purchase in the UK next month with pricing and availability in other regions still undisclosed.
