There was a lot of talk going around when Google apprently abondoned its "Muskie" designed next-gen Pixel 2 XL phone, and a lot of folks did not seem to be so happy about that. But don't fear, as it looks as though HTC is going to sell its own version of the "Muskie" but with some design changes of course, and very likely will not carry Google's own image processing logic, the Pixel Visual Core. But do fear if you are in the USA, as it seems the HTC U11+ will not be sold here. The Pixel 2 XL takes some wicked cool pictures right now without use of that Pixel Visual Core. Here is a quick pic I shot at a live show last night.
Check out the pic.
On a related note, if this is a phone based off of “muskie,” is anyone wondering if that has anything to do with it not being available for purchase in the US? HTC told us that they just didn’t want to step on the toes of U11 owners. However, that seems like an odd thing to worry about when you just announced what could be the most advanced phone you’ve ever built.
