HTC had this iPhone 15 Pro feature 5 years early!

Check Out XDA on Social Media.

HTC did everything before iPhone yet got none of the credit. Solid metal unibody, ZOE aka live photos. Multiple lenses. And on and on

I had one and it was classic case of "Solution in search of problem".

HTC is the Soulja Boy of the smartphone world 😅

in addition to other quite ok features, this model stands out for its strong sound, and very good camera, but also for virtual side keys, or controls by squeezing easily with one hand (edge ​​sense)

The iPhone 7 (iirc) had that feature with the home button

[positivevibeschannel]

these capacitive buttons were used in LG phones in 2009 i believe

[GtheJuggler]

Huawei Mate 40 also had pressure sensitive buttons. LG Velvet 2 Pro had it but that phone was never released.

High end android has always shown apple the way.

What happens if you turn off the phone and you have to enter recovery to jailbreak phone or similar stuff

This is a good phone that I currently own htc u12+ still premium and after 6 years, even if the price has dropped, it is not worth underestimating

Remember htc sensation.. what a legendary smartphone it was.

Somewhere along the line HTC screwed up because they were the best, they dropped the ball, my M7 had bootloop issues where it became useless so i had to use a Samsung the rest of that year. My HTC M8 was great. The M9 had overheating issues. The HTC 10 was a gem. Then they went to U11 and things really started getting weird.

I know because i use it.
And still use it now.

I'm glad HTC is back with their U24 ultra

2024:
iPhone 16 has a "button" for photos. This feature reminds me Edge Sense 2.0 in HTC U12+

[cristisun]

It was true that it was not the best implementation, it was ok but the rest of the phone was just a great device with very nice design, excellent software that google is trying to mimic now and great camera

[waqasahmed-zryy]

htc was most advanced but there marketing strategy was bad

[suhailahmed]

Don't make me sad. I miss these guy

[BLACKbeardTHEpirate]

Nah didn’t the iPhone 5 or one of the SE’s have a home button that did the same thing??

Same with the HTC Radar, from 2011. It runs windows phone
