Most obvious one is to use the fingerprint scanner to wake it up. However for turning the screen off, you need to use the more advanced navigation bar which include screen off button. Iirc, Nick Gray (High Tech Traveler) mentioned this feature in one of his videos on U12+.
But for other purpose of the power button, I don't know yet.

If it's going to start lagging which they a famous for, that normally starts between 6 months to a year. But by then you would have already sold it.

As for my U11 plus I will admit it's a excellent phone with really excellent battery life and I get about 6 and half hours screen on time on average which is good and it's absolutely fast as hell but I admit I don't mind the notch on the g7 at all and I do like lg phones alot but I think I'm gona wait and see how the u12 plus pans out because I really would like it to be my next phone now and yeah it has 64gb of storage but I think I can live with that and I recently was considering the s9 plus to but I have never had a Samsung phone before so I'm reluctant to get one because I generally stick with makes I know hence htc or LG.

Htc nor shuts down nor corrects mistake, from lessons learnt. Price too much, same day bettery, LCD too dull, shift to pled. Marketing Zero. I think a billion dollars recently received by Google, is now been waisted, high time to, go with customers demand, as Chinese same Rom & Ram, looks good at half price Guranteed.

About the G7 Thingy, IMO your U11+ got you covered for this year. I mean, personally I don't want a notchy phone and battery seems a tad too small. But if you can tolerate the notch, maybe just wait for the Pixel 3 XL. It will come with its own notch and, probably, squeeze feature.

I will just monitor the reviews regarding the u12 plus and see also if htc release a software update to fix the issues with the buttons which I hope they do and I think the u12 plus is a very nice phone and like my U11 plus I bet it would be a great daily driver once any bugs are fixed by htc.
I just hope that htc manages to stay in business because I think it would be a tragedy if they ever did disappear from the smartphone market.

most reviewers tend to unfairly hold HTC to a higher standard than other brand names. nitpick at anything they could find. Last year nothing good was said about the U Ultra but that phone performs great. so good that I have no need to upgrade. still very smooth, very fast & meeting my needs/wants.
If I were you, I would test the buttons my self and not take the word of someone that is not using it as a daily driver as gospel.

It's looking like HTC could have done a cock up with the buttons on this one but maybe a software update could sort it,?

I personally wish HTC to fix a number of things in the future
- Switch back to SLCD5 used by U11. I think SLCD6 eats too much power while being much dimmer.
This alone should take care of two cons of U12+ i.e battery life and sunlight legibility.
- Make sure all units come with perfectly working haptic "buttons", otherwise just forego this venture altogether and stick to real buttons.
- Decrease the price by at least 50 bucks, and offer free goodies along the way. I remember U11 launched at US$649, with early bird price $599 (using promo code).

Its going to make another big mistake htc because the price of htc u12 plus is similer to Iphone X in uae. It will flop like u11.

Been reading two reviews by android central and the verge and they both say the pressure sensitive buttons just don't function properly as they should at all.
The reviews are a worrying read and I hope that the u12 plus doesn't end up a lemon for htc :(

as for boke effect i do not like artificial boke on phones yet, they have too much glitches(i used iphone x, some samsungs) but optical zoom(witch I KNOW is not optical or analogue) IS OK. i prefer LCDs over OLEDs, OLEDs not relly that cool and loose much quality over time. but again i like 3.5mm jack witch is not present in u12+... so i would buy P20 pro or GS9 over HTC.
