The U11 Plus and U11 Life from HTC could be two weeks away from becoming official. There will be “something new” debuting on Thursday, November 2. HTC sent out a tweet Thursday morning saying everyone should save the date to see what’s coming. While the company hasn’t clarified anything beyond the launch date, plenty of signs point to a duo of phones being announced.

HTC is one of the few brands that still lack a phone with an 18:9 aspect ratio for the display. The U11 Plus, however, should change that. The high-end specifications will be similar to the U11 that was introduced back in May, but the new model will have thin bezels around the screen. Recent rumors suggest it’ll feature a 5.99-inch Quad HD+ (2880×1440) display, Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 835 with up to 6GB of RAM, a 12MP rear camera, an 8MP front camera, and Android 8.0 Oreo with HTC Sense.

Missing from the company’s lineup is a serious mid-range phone, and the U11 Life should fill that hole. It’s expected to be an Android One phone with a 5.2-inch Full HD (1920×1080) display, Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 630 with 3GB or 4GB of RAM, two 16MP cameras, and Edge Sense for squeeze-based actions.

Both phones have been rumored to launch before the end of 2017, so it’s basically all but confirmed they’re what HTC will show next month.
