    Well if we look how ended HTC U11 on jerry rigs everything video i know the U12 will ends the same way because HTC way.
    And the phone offers nothing worth 800.
    Mi 8 explorer is thus much better and cheaper option to get.

              I disagree, the IPS display is the only desirable thing about this phone for me. Pentile subpixel array, burn in, and laughable durability (seriously, I've had two AMOLED panels shatter UNDER THE FRONT GLASS upon impact, while the front glass itself remained intact, despite being the part that actually hit the ground?!) are not features. All that for better contrast. The black level of a very good IPS isn't bad, even if it's not infinite like an AMOLED. MicroLED is the future, AMOLED is a stupid compromise shoved down our throats by Samsung in order to increase sales of phones (because they break so much more often).

              Other dealbreakers here include the lack of true dual-front-facing Boomsound (WHY?), lack of a headphone jack (way to copy every idiotic thing Apple does), lack of a wide angle front facing camera (how did they think that was a good idea?!), and the shatter-prone soap-slippery glass back that does NOT come with the only true benefit of that, which is wireless charging.

              Yet another idiotic phone by HTC that pisses on the memory of the M7. If they'd just re-release that with updated SOC/camera, I think they'd make a LOT more money, especially among those who buy the iPhone SE. It was small by today's standards, extremely durable, ergonomic, and had many useful features. Slap on squeezey squeeze sides and bam. Instant hit. Does this even have an IR blaster? Way to make a malinformed attempt at gaining market share through making the phone worse, in ways that are currently "hip" and "trendy." And they wonder why their phone division is dying.

                      It's a shame, I'm dissapointed. I was going to buy this phone until I saw it does not have an OLED/Amoled screen. Considering it's sky high price tag and they put the cheaper IPS panel, it's a deal breaker.

                      I think it's asking price is too much. Aside from this, a very beautiful device.

However for another person, it may be the contrary.
                        So you see, the term bloatware, and which apps fall into that category, is relative to every individual.

And the HTC music app had gracenote integration providing updated album arts and lyrics. These are not offered by any most of the music app out there. And HTC is trying to prove their loyalty to google by forcing me to use those apps. If I download alternate apps they again eat up my space.

                                    I meant to say that, with 30% increase in the size of the battery from U11, U11+ actual battery life does not increase as much as people expect it to.

                                    Anyway, I agree with what you said. Cheers.

                                      I personally use the htc boost plus app to help battery life and I shut down apps I don't use and adjust others to not hog the battery also.

                                        Just wanna let you guys know that Android Oreo may have a hand in U12+ (U11+ as well) underwhelming battery life.
                                        Generally, reviews and user reviews of U11 praise its battery life, but those were measured with Nougat. Then came U11+ with Oreo out of the box and bigger battery, but its battery life performs bellow expectations. Now it's U12+ that suffers from similar fate.

                                        However, a quick search on Google reveals there are lots of reports claiming significant battery drain after Oreo update for the U11.
                                        Anyway, I've just scratched the surface here. I'm gonna proceed with digging this topic deeper.
