However, the greatest impact on the convenience of using the device has an Edge Sense solution, i.e. the ability to press smartphone frames.These react to the user's hand pressure and activate the appropriate functions.By default, a short emphasis starts the camera application, while the long Google assistant.You can also set the option for double touches of the edge, and holding the phone in your hand means that his screen does not go off.Edge Sense is fully configurable and you can choose their own applications.I admit that this is a very convenient thing and I got used to it quickly.I will not be surprised if the competition copies them in a while.

Edge Sense is a controversial solution because HTC has decided to replace all the buttons in the device.On the aluminum frame in the right places there are still protrusions that cannot be pressed inside, like standard buttons.I do not quite like their location, in my opinion they are a bit too low, which is why I was notoriously confusing the volume button with the device lock button for the first days spent with the device.It was possible, however, it was a matter of habit, because later it stopped disturbing me.

Replacing the buttons with pressed frames is also troublesome for a different reason.In smartphones with physical buttons to perform a given action, insert the minimum amount of strength.In this case, the frame requires a bit stronger pressure.However, this can be freely configured.On the plus side, Edge Sense also certainly works that the buttons will not get stuck, nothing will come under it and after a few months of work they will not make it.Therefore, in the long run, this solution can be better than traditional buttons.Generally, everyone must decide if this solution suits him.I am pleased to use it, but I am aware that due to old habits, many people can have a completely different opinion.

HTC U12+ has top -shelf components.

The screen is the most attention in every phone.In this case, it is a Super LCD panel, which has a 6-inch diagonal, 18: 9 aspect ratio and a resolution of 2880 x 1440 pixels.This is a very detailed display, which is characterized by a nice color reproduction and good viewing angles.On the other hand, I regret that the OLED display was not used here, which would ensure greater brightness, especially needed on sunny days.

The flagship model of the Taiwanese manufacturer has exactly the same components as competitors from the Samsung, LG or Sony stable.The heart of the device is the Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 processor, which is by far the fastest chip driving Android smartphones.It works with 6 GB RAM and 64 or 128 GB of internal memory, which can be extended with microSD cards.This specification allows for trouble -free firing of both the most demanding games and programs, as well as keeping a large number of applications in memory.

The phone also supports absolutely all modern connectivity standards, such as Wi-Fi 802.11ac (2.4 and 5 GHz), LTE CAT.18, Bluetooth 5.0, Dual SIM, as well as NFC for proximity payments.Location services do not cause any problems.It is also worth adding that HTC has a USB-C port to a fast standard 3.1, which supports OTG.This means that it is possible to use it not only for charging a smartphone or sending files, but also connecting accessories such as keyboards, mice and pendrives.

Unfortunately, there was no minijack output here, so use the adapter to connect wired headphones.This is unfortunately not included.On the other hand, there are really good, dedicated USB-C headphones, specifically use with active noise reduction and the function of tuning in the user's ear.Most competitions add such weak headphones to the phone that it is not even worth pulling them out of the foil.In the case of HTC it is completely different - the usonic is very good.

It is also pleased to use great stereo speakers, which are absolutely the best component of this type that I saw in smartphones.The sound generated by the smartphone is loud and quite clean, of course for a mobile device.For watching movies on the smartphone is more than ok.

Android is not entirely clean, but certainly light.

HTC U12+ works under the control of Android 8.0 Oreo with Sense overlay.Taiwanese did everything so that the system is not overloaded.After the first start of the smartphone, you can see not much application on it.As if that was not enough, if any programs seem to us, you can simply hide them.It is possible, however, that you will not have to do it, because the above -mentioned applications are very useful and come from Google.

The software looks well thought out, among others, because pre -installed programs do not duplicate their functions and even HTC add -ons are useful.The program accelerating the operation of the device, and in the settings of several options for easy sending multimedia and selecting sound profiles.Added to this is HTC Home, i.e. a solution that adapts the application system to the place where the user is currently located.After all, we need completely different tools at work than at home.

The possibilities of personalization are also interesting and I am not talking about traditional motifs, but about any motifs in which every element is interactive.Thanks to them, the smartphone's desktop can become, for example, a beautiful landscape, whose each element will perform a different function.Clicking on the signpost will open Google maps, the sun's weather application, and the tree will take us to Facebook.This type of motifs will not suit everyone, I am aware of it, but nobody forces us to use them.

All day without charging and...nothing more.

HTC U12+ has links with a capacity of 3500 mAh.It is so much that the phone withstands a standard day of work in a mixed cycle, but so much that we cannot count on more.Every evening you will need to connect it to the charger.It is worth adding that if necessary, we will be able to recharge the phone very quickly, because it supports Qualcomm Quick Charge 3 technology.0.

One of the best mobile cameras.

HTC has decided to use a double camera at the back.One eye is wider and has been equipped with a 12 megapixel matrix and f/1.75 brightness.In turn, the second camera is narrower, has a 16 megapixel matrix and f/2.6 brightness.Both cameras have optical and electronic image stabilization.HTC takes very nice photographs in good lighting conditions, they are characterized by natural and nice colors, as well as a lot of details.Due to the desire to limit the size of the article, the photos uploaded here are scaled.They are even better in all its glory.

Also at night the camera can handle it.You can see the improvement in relation to the U11 model, which also took very nice photos.One may be tempted to say that HTC U12+ takes something from the cameras of any flagship phone on the market and it connects quite successfully.It may not be absolutely the best, but in all conditions it is doing exceptionally well.Bokeh, porter mode, double optical zoom?They also give advice.The versatility of this camera is one of its biggest advantages.

HTC U12+ can also make video in 4K resolution and a liquidity of 60 kl./s.or 1080p resolution and smoothness of 240 KL./s.It is a pity that there is no Super Slow Motion 960 KL mode here./s.Known from competition phones.It is slowly becoming a standard in the world of top -shelf smartphones.An interesting solution is Sonic Zoom, which is the ability to familiarize a given object in order to hear its sounds more clearly.

The HTC U12 front camera consists of two matrixes with a resolution of 8 megapixels each and brightness f/2.0.We are dealing here with a standard viewing angle (84 degrees), and photos taken with this camera look pretty good.However, it must be admitted that the portrait mode and blur are worse than in the rear camera.More often he is lost on his hair and other elements difficult to separate from the background.The front apparatus also lacks optical stabilization of the image, which means that the selfie taken in motion can be slightly blurred.

Is it worth buying HTC U12+?

The latest smartphone from HTC is a very interesting device.His appearance delights, one of the prettiest phones on the market.Great components, the best communication standards, software and a very good camera do not disappoint.Enjoys the use of great stereo speakers and a sufficient battery for the whole day of work.

Can I stick to something?Yes, but to the little things.That the display used is not an oled, the battery is not as big as it could be, that there is a lack of a headphone output (fortunately, the attached headphones in part compensate for this lack).In addition, HTC U12+ is a very successful smartphone that can be safely bought for even PLN 3,500, which in comparison with the most profitable phones seems to be a considerable cost, but compared to the mobile mainstream no longer.

Before buying, however, it is worth going to the store and play with this phone in advance because of the Edge Sense.This is a technology unheard of in smartphones of companies other than HTC.It significantly changes the type of navigation by phone, so I recommend checking it before buying.I like her very much, but not everyone has to suit everyone.
