I've been an HTC user since the OG Hero all the way up to last years U12+ which I have a love hate relationship with. By far the best camera I've ever used on a smart phone, and I've compared it with the Note 8 and 9 and a bunch of iPhones. But the rest of the phone drives me nuts!! The pressure sensitive volume buttons only half work, and the power button works when I'm not even touching the phone! We haven't had an update to the phone (flagship btw) in almost a year, and the phone is just over a year old, so that tells you where HTC is headed....
The wife has had the Note2 all the way up, and we're both getting the 10+ 5G version. Hopefully the updated camera is as good as the U12+, because that's the thing I really rely on. I'll find out Friday when they're delivered. Fingers crossed......
