HTC Ocean Note has been tipped to make a debut this year. It is the premium device from HTC this year to compete in the market. Recently there have been reports of a unique feature for this phone!

HTC Ocean Note to sport a unique feature!

At the start of this year, a smartphone rumored to be the HTC Ocean Note was leaked with no buttons and a contextual UI, without further details. Some time has passed, and now we have a new screenshot leaked. This shows a unique “Edge Sense” feature for the smartphone. This could shed some light on the HTC Ocean Note’s tweaked UI and the new Edge-controlled features.

Evan Blass, a famous leaker, also known as @evleaks on Twitter, recently shared a link from a Chinese site that has the leaked pictures, as well as some specification details. The screenshot shows that the phone will come with an “Edge Sense” feature, and it is assumed that it relates to the UI. One possible outcome is that the phone could have curved edge, and specific functions can be performed on the edges – pretty much like the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge, which can be turned on or off. It could also be something new entirely!

The Chinese site calls this function “Sense Touch”, which is a feature that has been leaked for the HTC Ocean Note as well. There were also some HTC Ocean Note specs on the site as well. The phone is said to feature a 5.5″ display, and is powered by SND 835 SoC. There will be 4 or 6GB of RAM, along with 64GB of storage. The phone might come with Daydream support, Android 7.1.1 Nougat, and its own Sense UI Assistant, not the usual Google Assistant. Earlier leaks also tipped the phone to remove the headphone jack, and include a USB-C port, as well as dual-SIM slots.

HTC Ocean Note: Excited for the HTC premium phone!

With all those specs, HTC Note Ocean is expected to be a very powerful phone. It is supposed to be launched on January 12, but the HTC Note Ocean release date is delayed. The HTC Ocean Note price is still a mystery as well. Are you excited for this phone?
