Features of the HTC U12 phone: specifications, description, review - Setafi

It is worth agreeing with the opinion that for all the time of active work, HTC has done a lot to popularize the Android operating system for people of different income levels. Few people will remember, but it was smartphones from this manufacturer that became the first on the new OS from Google.

What smartphones are remembered for is their proprietary shell and diverse design - even the most whimsical connoisseur of beauty, and not stuffing, can pick up a cool device for himself. Now the company is not so smooth, but this is a topic for another article. We will talk about changing the line of One phones to a modest U and releasing a whole line of presentable devices under this auspices.

It is worth paying attention to the HTC U12, which we will review in a short article. Get comfortable, we're getting started!

Briefly about design

HTC - no matter what anyone says, but the smartphones of this manufacturer are very attractive. The glass trend has intensified on the market, and the company decided to distinguish itself - the gradient in the glass shell has become a noticeable feature of the U12. Various colors of the smartphone turn the device into an "ecstasy" for the eyes of envious people and perfectionists.

Screen

Size is 6 inches.

Dimensions - 15.6x7.4 cm. Thickness - 8.7 mm. Too thick for a smartphone in 2021.

Weight - 188 gr. Allows you to easily operate the "shovel" with one hand without fatigue. A very important note.

What will we shoot

The specifications of the HTC U12 cameras are as follows:

The main unit is 5 + 16 MP. The company has little experience in mobile photography. Unsuccessful attempts to adjust their cameras and the constant "increase" in the number of pixels do not work in the end.

Functions: optical zoom, portrait mode. A distinctive feature is the introduction of Ultrapixel technology. The essence of the function is simple: the number of pixels in the image increases by reducing their size to 1.4 microns. With the correct camera settings, a better quality image is obtained, because more squares are used for processing. But if the hands are "from one place" - expect dense noises and lights.

Front - 13 MP. It has face unlock features and shoots in full HD. Simple, efficient and comfortable.

What's inside the device

Here, the stuffing is taken care of - this is a combination of the Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 core and the Adreno 630 graphics chipset. Indeed, everything flies, as it should be with such equipment.

Memory - 4 GB RAM and 64 GB main. It is possible to install a memory card. The operating system is Android 8.0.

What is the difference between the phone and the "plus" version

For greater clarity, we will conduct a review-comparison with HTC U12 plus:

• More RAM - 6 instead of 4;
• Main camera - 12 + 16 MP;
• The front camera is divided into 2 blocks of 8 megapixels;
• There is an anti-dust and anti-shock layer;
• More microphones (4 instead of 2).
• The battery capacity is smaller, but not significant (3500 versus 3600 mAh).

In short, you can do without the "plus" model. It is not worth overpaying for an insignificant difference.

Conclusion

The smartphone looks interesting, with a non-standard design. Users note smooth operation and fast charging of the device. A cool plus is a large screen resolution and a stable processor. For lovers of an average device and those who do not like to overpay, this is ideal.
