HTC U12+ Review

HTC’s skipped the U12 and gone straight to the U12+. In making this move, the company has shrunken the bezels and lengthened the screen to gain the popular 18:9 display ratio, while keeping the footprint slightly smaller than the U11+ and only moderately bigger than the...

Why don't people understand that a BUTTONLESS phone is brilliant HTC cares about it's consumers by making the longevity of the phones buttons last WAY longer now u won't have to worry about ur buttons not working anymore I hated pushing buttons but this is a true game changer not to mention makes the phone more water resistant

HTC's senseUI is one of my favorites. Doesn't look outdated on my one M9 in comparison to the S6's UI from the same era.

When are they releasing the 9.0 pie updates? Planning to buy one.

Hello sir, do you not sell a htc u12+ after your review?

[rtrey]

Drama drama....
People need to stop crying about headphone Jack..
Like some idiots talk about lack of the Jack n later they use wireless headphones...I mean wtf!...
U invest in this thing n it lasts for years...n those fancy phones lag on their first year itself (y'all know about which company I'm talking about)...
Htc always makes solid devices..and they ate underrated as hell!

Good review style and presentation dude. Keep on improving

The button placement looks like it is most likely going to make it hard to place this phone in a stabilizer or gimbal mount for using the phone for video recording.

Many here before have complained about accents, but now when we have a native speaker, it is quite difficult to separate some specific words and technical terms. I wish this reviewer could speak little slower, since we have many channels already for native English speakers. For non native speaker, it is often naturally easier to listen others who are foreign to English.

About the phone: It is funny how HTC excels with the camera these days, which certainly wasn't the case some time ago, but of course they have to get something wrong, unfortunately so wrong, that I wouldn't even consider this phone over 500 €. Bulky design, no headphone adapter in the box, display is nothing special, no actual physical buttons and average battery life by flagship standards are together just no.

Still nice to see HTC in the business.

I have the U12 Still to the Day. It's a Beautiful Device Hand's Down, Performance Still Is Smooth, Camera's Are Amazing.

Nice review, totally feel your pain on News Republic. That app needs to be abolished haha

[luisminervinovlog]

[Naldynator]

Awesome reviewer! Love your style. Here's to hoping HTC fixes the button issue. Otherwise, this is an outstanding phone!

Nice review with a bit of fresh air bro 👍. I had an m7 & m8 . The new camera set up might sway me back to htc but as u showed now the control buttons terrible😵
