Weekly poll: would you buy an HTC U12+?

27 May 2018
The U12+ has many strengths, but it launched late in the game. Many already upgraded their phone this year, also competing phones got cheaper.

It might get a price drop to become more competitive, still it feels more like a downgrade than an upgrade. Paying more for less features doesn't sound quite right.
HTC has those amazing headphones, but if you happen to lose them/break them there's no alternative but to carry a c to 3.5 :/

    Anonymous, 27 May 2018I honestly would...had the battery life been better (well..... moreHtc.com has a Sprint version, a Verizon version, and an unlocked GSM and CDMA version. See for yourself.

      128GB S9+ Current 890 USD against U12+ 940 USD?

      Which One?

      2160p@60fps/1080p@240fps + 720p@960fps = S9+

      Dual: 8 MP (f/2.0, 1.12µm), 1080p is better or
      Single: 8 MP (f/1.7, 1.22µm), 1440p + Iris Scanner?

      3.5mm is still alive somewhere and of course in our available high end earphones.
      3.5mm + USB-C is better than 3.5mm to USB-C.

      No, thanks!
      Too Late Too Late

'Avengers: Infinity War' is for little kids. 'Deadpool 2' is/was funny, and definitely doesn't take itself very seriously. I have all three. If you're guessing I go to movies often you are correct.

                GSM ARENA: I am undecided about this phone. Would have been nice to have an "unsure" option/choice in this survey.

                  Anonymous, 27 May 2018Much better than Samsung S9. Let's see how it will compete ... moreI've had experience with Sony's midrange until C5 which managed to lag (and restart randomly) on its first week. Apparently you should pay extra to get smooth UI. Ironically, we have a huawei Y5 in the family, which sucks in every aspect, yet managed to give the same mildly slow experience for two years now, same response time from day one till now with almost every social media app installed. To me, the Y5 is better since we got what we paid for.

                    I'd buy it if a 3.5mm jack, IR blaster and FM radio was present and the battery also carried over from its predecessor not freaking downgraded.

                    If a OEM deprives a newer generation out of something that the previous generation device had then its a automatic no.

                      I would buy it if it becomes cheaper which will happen sooner or later.
                      Right now it ain't worth it.

                      And btw DXO means nothing !
                      P20 PRO best camera in the world according to them but in actual comparisons it looks worse than a OnePlus for some important aspects like Video.

                        No wireless charging killed this for me and the lack of a headphone jack adapter.

                          Sorry. Not skipping a headphone jack. That's a Nope~

                            Very expensive and no wireless charging, skip this one

                                I might cuz there is no notch and I have always wanted a transparent phone.

                                  HTC should be sold at a cost that won't break the bank.

                                    It's a good phone, but it's way too expensive - there are alternatives offering most of its goods but costing way less.

                                      Much better than Samsung S9. Let's see how it will compete with Sony XZ2. Sony is famous for it's smooth software. So wait and see.

                                        Even though I hate Samsung, at least their S9 and S9+ deliver comparable photos, and save for a few differences, the hardware is almost the same.
