HTCs U Ultra comes in two versions. One has 64GB of storage and Gorilla Glass 5 on top of the display, while the other boasts 128GB of memory and a sapphire crystal glass on top of the screen. The former has been out in many markets for some time now, but the latter has so far been confined to the companys home of Taiwan. Thats about to change, though.
Starting on April 18, the sapphire-clad U Ultra will become available in Europe. This is true at least for Germany and Switzerland. As youd expect, it will be anything but cheap. In fact, youll need to shell out a whopping €849 or CHF 849 for one. To put things in perspective, the regular U Ultra with Gorilla Glass costs €699. So thats a €150 premium youd be paying for the additional storage and fancy screen protection.
Speaking of which, while sapphire crystal ranks very highly on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness, scoring a 9, its more br ittle than Gorilla Glass. So you wont be able to scratch it with anything except a diamond, but it might shatter upon an impact easier than if you went with the alternative U Ultra option.
