HTC U12+

[Phil750123]

So it got announced this morning and it looks like HTC spent all their research budget on cameras!

The only differences i can see
1) dual back and front cameras
2) snapdragon 845

And thats it!

Interestingly still on android 8.0 but they have promised an Android P upgrade, so anyone holding out for 8.1 update i doubt that is coming to either phone.

Cant see any reason for any u11+ owner to upgrade, smaller battery and tiny upgrades.

Who would want to Upgrade to/Buy another HTC device after their lawsy software updates!
Man HTC and SONY are running themselves to the grave. I mean the formula for success is very simple if they just simply stick with it:
Great Hardware+Great Software Support+Listen to Customers+Phone Availability in Markets+Great Pricing=Success!

Slow down Dj Moha !, doesnt matter what we do with our phone's, because we pay lot's money for it and we only want a decent support an updates, even just we use the phone for play or hit to someone in the head with it! That is our problem, if you dont want to claim right service its your problem and dont come to give us lesson's about how to use our phones

I'm not going to ditch a 3 months old great phone for a very similar one, that's for sure: I just hope U12+ ROMs or at least software features (see edge sense 2 or HDR10 support, in example, or Android P should HTC forget about us) will be easily ported to our devices by HTC itself or by some kind XDA developer, both being so similar spec-wise.

Please use a better translator, because I can't understand what you are saying. By the way how is age relevant here being a kid or a grown man doesn't matter, from your writing standards it seems you are indeed a "small kid" .

When you are paying a flagship price you should expect a flagship device treatment at the least!

I don't want to argue further because it's a waste of my time, what I stated earlier are valid points so unless you have something to counter those points I suggest you move on. If you don't understand why updates are needed then I am sorry there is nothing further I can say to change your mind.

Personally when i brought the u11+ i knew htc wouldnt be as good as other providers. They did just sell half their already cut down phone team to google. Its a matter of resource. If HTC have thrown all their software team into android 9 and the cost of android 8.1 that is fine by me. Assuming 9 comes out at a decent time compared to other providers.

Let's hope HTC will keep their good track at releasing major updates for flagship phones then!

That's a good thing IMO, since I bought the U11+ for the great cameras.

Hope HTC keeps up with their good work building practical and high quality phones. I am looking forward to changing to another HTC flagship next year.

Panel of u12+ is very close to u11+.
Here an example from hamdir, and btw the u11+ face looks better

Dj ignorance, you seriously have issues.

Ignore this guy, his people feed on anger, ignorance and useless online fights to feel manly.


HTC proved they can make the best hardware hands down the U11 PLUS is amazing but, Not getting any updates while even note Fe and s7 from almost 3 years for example gets the latest Samsung experience is really frustrating

I think the same, if we had a good developer's interesting in this devices, maybe we would get one beautifull and brght screen !!!, but no one want to develop to our devices :crying:

It would be kernel related not rom, tbalden perhaps? ?

Hi guys, since I don't have an U11/U11+, to be honest I never even had a HTC, I'm pretty interested in this device. How is the bootloader unlocking procedure with HTC devices? Is there just the official method through HTCdev or is there any other unofficial method (exploits)? Last time I fiddled with custom ROMs was with my Nexus 5. I had some tries with an Axon 7, that resulted in two RMA trips. I'm about to renew my contract and want a new device. Right now I'm between S9+, OP6 and U12+.

In the past I read about a tool, but I don't know if it work with U11+/u12+. The official way on HTCdev site is fast and very simple.

What about warranty? I read somewhere that, here in Europe, they cannot deny me warranty service when it's software related. Is it true?

The main issue holding me from buying a S9+ in that pesky knox e-fuse! As long as I can roll back to factory configuration without flags for me is essential!

P.s.: Thanks for the reply

If you have problems, even with unlocked bootloader, which has nothing to do with unlocking/rooting/modifying, then it should be no problem.
Warranty is no problem here, at least not in Germany

What worries me is that it's needed to register to HTCdev to unlock the bootloader, right? And they could use this information to deny warranty services
