Why did HTC stopped the in-house apps such as HTC Gallery and HTC Music. Both of them were great apps. HTC Gallery offers a beautiful album hiding feature right from the days of HTC Wildfire. The so called free storage "Google Photos" dont offer this facility, but instead it downloads all the photos I have online and fills up my phone space. HTC Music updates album arts through gracenote and organizes my music library easily. Play Music is primarily meant for internet music, which I am not interested that much. So bad #HTC.

Undecided between xz2 and u12+. Maybe xz2 premium? Or wait for next year flagship nokia 9? Mate 20? Note 9? S10? . Kirin 980 will be release next year. Oh damn~ i can't keep up with technology anymore. AI become a thing nowaday. Will other OEM(sony htc samsung and nokia?) implement this on their device? I honestly don't want AI camera on my device.

ADI, 10 Jun 2018I see it makes sense now, but still expensive for me :( ...... moreI suppose I could change my phone every 6 months but alately it's been close to a year I get another one and also if you wait its possible to get a lg or htc flagship much cheaper as time goes on because of the fact they drop the price so I would say wait 6 months and you hopefully will then be able to get a u12 plus :)
The one thing I don't like about the u12 plus is that there aren't any really good cases available for it as in spigen cases and the cases that are available are cheap and just not very good and that puts me off this phone to be fair.
I like good quality cases to protect my phone which are available for LG and Samsung etc but nothing for this one.
It's like all the major case manufacturers have abandoned htc?

True, it will go down for sure as time passes by. Apple and Samsung are way ahead in terms of smartphones sales, its hard for Htc to catch up to them, but most of their devices are on par or better with either of these companies. :)

Maybe as time goes on htc might knock the price down of the u12 because I doubt it will sell in great numbers compared to Samsung for example.

punk, 08 Jun 2018What would you like to say about this comparison with P20 P... moreHi, firstly I'm not a photography expert, so please don't put so much weight on my opinion.
U12+ vs P20 Pro from that video comparison... It's a tough call, really.
I feel I can't put either device as a winner, as each excels in different scenarios.
However let me touch on color first. Their color reproduction is significantly different, with U12+ produces warmer hues most of the time, while P20P sometimes colder but then turn even warmer other times. And P20P definitely pushes the saturation too far the results seem more artificial than natural. Front samples are also reddish, even putting some blushes on the subject's face. (Moreover, P20P seems to render his face slender I'm not sure people would be impressed by it)
P20P generally exposes brighter, but it evades over exposing the image thanks to its much larger sensor bringing along better dynamic range. Personally, I like U12+ exposure more often than not though.
P20P owns the 10x Zoom part, in daylight. Unfortunately there's no low light zoom sample.
P20P's larger sensor can flex its low light muscles easily. When both devices expose a scene similarly, U12+ loses too much detail and sharpness. When they expose differently i.e U12+ underexpose a scene, it can maintain some sharpness but the resulting image is pretty dark with lotsa details lost in the shadows. U12+ also has much more noise in the sky. (I'm not sure whether the reviewer did use U12+'s HDR Boost or not. He just mentions he uses auto mode for both devices. I just feel that HDR Boost should help clearing up some of the noise in low-light images, but I won't discredit the video now)
HDR shots: similar to daylight ones, U12+ images are warmer, P20P images are oversaturated and brighter.
No comment on pano.
Video: I'm appalled by P20P's apparent lack of details and sharpness. What gives...? Stabilization is also jerky during panning.
Those are my observations, and please don't ask me for a winner. More like a split.

I personally would pick this over the g7 and it's definitely a upgrade over the htc 10 :)
I might get a u12 plus in the future but at the moment my U11 plus is doin everything I need it to.

There's a camera shootout between U12+ and Pixel 2 on YouTube by HTT.
IMO, the Pixel has slight advantage in dynamic range (HDR+ ftw), video stabilization, and preventing over exposure. However, the U12+ beats it in sound recording, color reproduction, sharpness, auto focus speed, portrait with faux bokeh, and low light exposure.
The telephoto is also a significant bonus.
Awesome job.

If HTC advertised this phone and lowered the price to 500 - 600 euros, then it would sell better than any other flagship phone. They should also make the 128GB version available for all markets.

I don't think they have the budget to fund massive offline advertisements.
May they get the much-needed big break this year.

I don't how about you guys. I pre-ordered this so nice piece of technology. Yes, I do have HTC U11, OnePlus 5t. And I had S8+, I got sick of Samsung and bought OnePlus 5t. Of course OnePlus 6 looks nice, but when their price goes up and it's so still young Chinese company. I will not go to pay so much if I can buy HTC (brand) and get latest flagship. I don't care about wireless charging, because it's bad for battery anyway. The rest of features are beautiful combination. Goo luck to everyone with your choice

Kish, 04 Jun 2018I talking about Note 8 and I said that S pen is a main caus... moreHTC has a special phablet. It is HTC u ultra. HTC does not have s-pen and that's all different. You said HTC does not have a phablet. But now almost every flagship is a phablet. And yes screen size makes smartphone into a phablet. I mean it's no sense talking about phablets or phone. It's not that time anymore. Now it's all about design, screen, notch(which in my opinion is useless thing). That is my way to see 2018 phones
