The HTC U11 Plus was originally intended to be the Google Pixel 2 XL
Close observers of the Android rumor mill will know that Google made an
abrupt change to its Pixel phone plans this summer, shelving its original
successor to the Pixel XL, which was codenamed “muskie,” in favor of
another device bearing the code title of “taimen.” Taimen went on to become
the LG-manufactured Google Pixel 2 XL, while muskie seemed to fade into
oblivion — however this week the latter name has resurfaced in the latest
Android source code drop. More than that, the code associates the device with
HTC as the manufacturer, points to it having the same pixel density as the
eventual Pixel 2 XL, and indicates that muskie had a pretty huge battery.
Google 暑假謠傳臨時換掉了Pixel XL的繼任者 代號 muskie，改用 Taimen
而有趣這個代號又再次出現，而且跟HTC U11+有關
Here’s the cool part: muskie didn’t die, it just became the HTC U11 Plus.
也就是說用Google Pixel 2 XL還活著，那就是HTC U11+
The display size and proportions of HTC’s U11 Plus are a direct match for
the LG-made Pixel 2 XL: both have 6-inch screens with 18:9 aspect ratio and a
2880 x 1440 resolution. The major difference, however, is that LG’s display
is an OLED panel with a laundry list of problems, whereas HTC’s is a more
conventional LCD that just looks very nice. In hindsight, it appears obvious
that Google should have stuck with its muskie plans instead of making a
last-minute switch to LG; that would have saved the company a ton of
headaches and bad press, and probably would have made the Pixel 2 XL the sort
of potent iPhone rival we’ve long been waiting for.
跟LG Pixel 2XL比，兩者螢幕大小解析度都一模一樣。唯一的差別是一個是OLED，一個
是LCD。以事後諸葛來看，Google應該選高級的HTC 版本，而不是螢幕爛爛的LG版。
如果Google沒做錯決定的話，或許Pixel 2 XL還可以跟iPhone拚一拚
心得：
想要買正常版Pixel 2 XL 的可以考慮HTC U11+
只是不知道相機有沒有用一樣的HDR+技術
如果有的話
真的就不需要等Pixel 2 XL了
不然google 就學iPhone，出一個Pixel X吧～
爛螢幕毀了一個好手機
