More like nothing like a pixel with even worse pratfalls and more expensive.

More like nothing like a pixel with even worse pratfalls.
The device may be okay (at most) device hardware wise and with its spec sheet, but down to software alone it's far far behind and will never receive a worthy update in any of the next forms of android. It's out of date already being released with 8.0 when my OG pixel XL runs andoid P 9.0 (my phone's 1.5 years old). As they state the HTC device is presumed to go to 9.0 but can guarantee it won't go any further than that if even gets that far,and won't receive the monthly updates a pixel receives. It is no where near future proof for an average 2 yer contact and will be left to gather dust security wise.
They can put all the bells and whistles they like on the device if the software's shit, the device will run like shit. HTC support is like a fart in the wind which only adds to the frustration when they use cheap parts that break so often. Volume keys power buttons, camera lens all known to fall out or break of so very easily, so they removed the buttons and instead used preassure sensitivity on the side, no more just press with one finger screen off then? Making a very simple thing like turning off the screen from a 1 finger job to a whole hand grip job. Why make a simple task more complex? (Like apple iPhoneX they removed the fingerprint scanner big fail) What happens when that pressure side fails? No back up button to use so it will be registered useless. By today's standards aswell the screen to body ratio is low with a chin and a head like a 2016 2017 device.
Another example is its being released beside the likes of the one+ 6 with similar stats but for some reason the 1+ 6 flies ahead of it... Reason being software and cheap materials being used on connecting boards by HTC it just can compete.
And for a 64gb phone it's still £700 price taken off HTC website. One plus 6 with same version of ram at 6gb with same 64gb is £469... And if anything I'd say the OnePlus 6 feels and looks £230 quid more than the HTC, not other way round. It's not affordable as you've made it sound to be. Plus...You can buy Pixel 2xl is in Currys today for £629, cheaper than the HTC.
To compare the HTC device to a pixel is pretty crazy,even though the company's work closely, it's like night and day. A secure updated device which you know will get 3 years at least of monthly and large updates or choose an HTC which may receive one or 2 throughout its life.
