Julian Dhaka to Digital Trends things have been tough for HTC over the last couple of years, but that hasn't stopped the Taiwanese manufacturer from releasing some great Android smartphones. We were blown away by the camera quality in last year's HTC. U 11 and we left the budget HTC. U 11 life, the latest releases, the impress of HTC u12 plus, which sports dual cameras front and back a six-inch display and the usual host of innovative features. We've come to expect from HTC we've tested the HTC u12 plus out, but in this article we are going to compare it with last year's flagship that, u 11 to see what has changed and improved if you're, considering buying one of these phones or upgrading from the? U 11 to the, 12 plus, then this spec comparison should help.

While the u11 came with a choice of 4 gigabytes are 6 gigabytes of ram paired with 64 gigabytes are 128 gigabytes of storage respectively.
Both storage models of the u12 plus boast 6 gigabytes of ram, there's also an extra 500 William hours of capacity in the 12 + battery, though it is tasked with powering a bigger display. We found the 11 easily lasted a day and a half between charges, so we're hoping the 12 + will match it. Both phones support, quick-charge 3.0, but only the 12 + supports quick-charge 4.0, though you will need to buy a compatible charger separately, as you don't get one in the box. Sadly, neither phone has support for wireless charging, winner HTC u12, plus design and durability. Julian shock two digital trends.
One of the few things that disappointed us about the u11 was the chunky, design and large bezels around the display. HTC has clearly worked on this shaving down the vessels in the, 12 plus, and moving the fingerprint sensor around to the back of the phone. As a result, it has managed to pack in a much larger display without making the body too much bigger. There are still bezels above and below the screen, but mercifully there's no notch. The stunning color-changing liquid glass finish on the back is still present, but the u12 plus comes in new colors, including a translucent blue that shows some inner workings of the device.
There have also been improvements in the durability stakes with the u12 plus scoring in ip68 rating compared to the ip67 rating for the 11. That means it can be dunked in slightly deeper water without damage. A part of that improvement comes with the introduction of digital buttons. The power and volume buttons are not mechanical buttons, but they're touch sensitive because of the glass finish. You'll still need cases to protect these phones, winner, HTC u12, plus display Julien chalk.
Two digital trends you'll find the super LCD screens and HTC's phones are sharp and pleasant to read on, though they lack the vibrancy of Samsung's AMOLED screens. The u12 plus boasts a six-inch display with a resolution of two thousand eight hundred eighty by 1440 pixels, which works out to 537 pixels per inch, that's very similar to the U 11, which has a 5.5-inch screen with a resolution of 2560 by 1440, pixels or 534 pixels per inch. It's essentially a jump from the old 16 to 9 aspect ratios to the modern 18 to 9, and it gives you a slightly taller display winner, HTC u12, plus camera Julian chock, a 2 digital trends on paper, the HTC? U Elevens, 12 megapixel single lens camera didn't generate too much excitement, but in practice we found it capable of capturing some truly excellent photographs. In fact, it's one of our favorite phone cameras of recent months. The U 11 also has a capable 16, megapixel front-facing camera, with the 12 + HTC has gone dual camera crazy pairing, a 12 megapixel lens with an F 1.75 aperture and a 16 megapixel telephoto lens with an F 2.6 aperture on the rear, both with optical image. Stabilization Oh is.
There are also dual 8 megapixel lenses on the front for superior portrait mode selfies. We can't wait to put the u12 plus camera through its paces and find out what it can do. We are expecting something special that should surpass last year's flagship after all, its Square to the ex mark rating of 103, just below the top Huawei p20 Pro, we're HTC, u12, plus software and updates Julianne Shaka to Digital Trends, the HTC. U 11 launched with Android 7.1 nougat and has since been updated to Android 8.0 Oreo, the u12 plus is launching with android 8.0 Oreo and will definitely be getting Android feed. Both phones have HTC's Sense user interface on top, which doesn't deviate too far from stock Android.
There are a few extras like AI, companion and Alexa support, but they complement rather than replace, Google's superior suite of apps and services as the newer and more powerful device. The u12 plus will continue to get software updates for longer than the 11 winners, HTC u12, plus special features. Simon Hill, Digital Trends, the innovative edge Sense feature made its debut in the. U 11, allowing you to squeeze your phone to snap the photo or launch Google Assistant in the U 12th plus. It has been expanded to allow you to double tap either side of the phone to trigger an action.
The boom sound speakers which provide stereo sound via the bottom firing speaker and the top of your piece, also sound better speaking of audio HTC, has also developed sonic zoom further in the u12 plus allowing you to focus in on the sound of a subject. You are recording when you zoom in on them. One new trick that the u12 plus has up its sleeve is the ability to understand when to rotate from portrait, to landscape, based on how you're, holding and looking at the phone, which means it won't rotate the landscape when you're holding it in portrait, and you lie down to read winner HTC you 12, plus price, the HTC, you 12, plus costs $800 for the 64 gigabytes model or 850 dollars for the 128 gigabytes model. You can buy the HTC you 11 for $650, but you'll probably find deeper discounts. If you shop around, especially now that the 12 plus has arrived, both phones will work on all major carriers.
Overall, winner HTC, you 12, plus, you would expect a new flagship 2 best its predecessor and the 12 + certainly doesn't disappoint improvements across the board. Some minor some major there's little doubt that this year's HTC is the one to go for smart design. Tweaks, a slightly bigger display software evolution and a faster processor are all steps in the right direction, but the camera overhaul is probably the biggest change, whether it's enough to persuade you 11 owners to upgrade is harder to say right now so check out our full u12 plus review editor's recommendations.
