Altema, 24 May 2018Notchborg: "Resistance is futile, you will be assimilated!"... moreHTC's site advertises a Face Unlock feature (all the way at the bottom of the Meet U12+ page). I wonder if that would solve the FP placement for you.

Notchborg: "Resistance is futile, you will be assimilated!"
HTC: "Nope!"
Glad they resisted the engineering compromise that is the notch. Everything looks good so far, and the only two downsides that I can see are wireless charging, and the FP sensor on the back. I don't use wireless charging because it's slow and not good for the battery, but it would add appeal for the masses. FP sensor location is a personal preference, and it's better for me on the front because I have the phone on a desk or table a lot, and I love being able to just touch it once.
I was not sure about the haptic buttons, but now that I think about it, the buttons have failed me on numerous phones. I think this is a first in the industry, and if it is, then congrats to HTC for stepping out ahead. Everyone was pleased when they came out with a serious camera on the HTC 10, and then the U11 proved itself to be up there with the very best. Then the U12 Plus comes along and tiptoes past the Pixel 2, S9+, AND the iPhone 10 to take the second best score in the world. I'm waiting on more photo comparisons, but the one's I've seen so far have been excellent. I think the P20 Pro deserves it's top spot, but the telephoto shots have a painted effect from the processing.
In terms of audio, the new Boomsound is there and more powerful than ever, and the top speaker has more output now. I've come to the conclusion that the only persons devastated by not having the old style headphone jack, are those that have never used USonic. I've been in the audio industry for over 20 years, right there in the control room of a multi-million dollar studio, listening to the music the way the musicians and producers want it to sound, and USonic is the closest I've found to hearing it that way. It's truly mind blowing. And when I do feel like using my favorite Sennheisers, audio though the external DAC in the hi-res certified adapter is better than most built in jacks.

luzzle, 23 May 2018Let me ask you this, does the iphone 10 have a headphone ja... moreYeah but in 50% of smartphones, the bluetooth drains the battery quick like leaving on your location or even worse, sync account settings.

I just can't get over the fact that the UK version is only 64gb of storage and yet the htc u11 plus which I do own has 128gb of storage and costs way less so for me personally I think the U11 plus is the better buy.
HTC sell a new flagship with a step backwards in storage compared to there previous flagship,makes no sense.

Anonymous, 24 May 2018No headphone jack and no OLED screen = no buy.
OnePlus 6... moreThe U12+ has a higher resolution screen, HDR-screen, stereospeakers, better antenna, IP68, expendable microSD-slot, better camera, USB 3.0, (slightly) bigger battery.
Also, looking at what's already known about how it should perform, it's a better tested device that was thought through more. The One Plus is simply put just a gathering of components the Oppo organization had laying around, they fitted with the best SoC and they constructed a phone out of. And one can wonder how good the components are and ow the implementation was done.
How it will do in the long term remains the question. I certainly wouldn't recommend it to a heavy user. Not that HTC has a good trackrecord in this last respect (they don't), but they know how the phone will do in terms of battery life and waterresistentness, meaning they tested it and guarantee how the phone will do. Maybe OP did the IP-testing as well, but then they choose to not communicate the rating because it was worse.
Price-wise the phones of the mainstream manufacturers will come to the One Plus. Right now f.e. compared to the OnePlus, the S9 and S9+ are a better deal. They cost a bit more, but are also better and will receive longer updates. Also in my country you almost always get something for free, a cashback or like right now a 180 euro HK speaker.

As per recent articles, HTC U12+ has no buttons on the sides. No physical button, just purely haptic feedback "buttons" with courtesy of Edge Sense 2. Though this phone only lack a jack, it's overshadowed by the HTC Usonic USB-C earphones.
HTC is probably the only one who's risking the stability of the ODM company for real innovations.
1. Redefining a way to listen by using USB-C (If only they add a second USB-C)
2. More use for the sides by a squeeze
3. Topnotch and balanced camera
4. Another color style for glass (Liquid Glass)
5. Anything that they innovate years ago.

By far, this phone looks legit. Awesome specs just like any other smartphones out there and Great design n the colours especially the "FLAME RED" is so damn beautiful. I will definitely try to buy this phone once its can down a bit :). This is worth trying phone from Htc, kinds looks like Htc opted the design hint from M9 (their 2015's Flagship) :) ... But it still does looks fabulous with the edge sense 2 makes it perfect and guys its the worlds first Buttonless smartphone, and camera and sound will never going to disappoint you on it since Htc 10 ... I am 100% Sure. Love it.. Send me U12+ as a gift please! Hahaha :)

OnePlus 6 seems like a far superior choice, even if it does have a notch.
