HTC U12+ Factory Unlocked Phone - 6" Screen - 64GB - Translucent Blue (U.S. Warranty)

I have been an HTC fan since the launch of the EVO 4G when Sprint launched it's '4G' network aka WiMax. I have owned that, the EVO 3D, EVO 4G LTE, the Shift (for my wife), the M7, M8 (truly groundbreaking phone), M9 (nothing more to add there), the HTC 10 (again absolutely amazing), U11 (unfortunately many hours on the phone with HTC support), and finally the U12+ (real shame that the U11+ never made it Stateside). I must say that I finally feel the excitement, build quality, and look my phone is translucent blue that's been missing since the 10. The Snapdragon 845 is blazingly fast, Super LCD is crisp vivid, and I've never found a better overlay than HTC's Sense (wife has an S8+ and I'm lost trying to navigate through it). Bottom line is that this phone is superb and will go head to head with the S9+, Xperia, G7, whatever and come out on top. As far as HTC's smartphone future is concerned after selling to Google, we'll have to wait and see however if this is the pinnacle of their smartphone business then my hat's off to them for going out with a big old bang! Cons: 1. The included case is, for all intents and purposes garbage so do yourself a favor and buy an upgraded one. I am very partial to the Spigen Liquid Crystal which has an amazingly low price for the protection but almost any other case will do. 2. This phone is so slippery that holding it or cradling it is like trying to run across a bowl full of vegetable oil and ball bearings so get a case or be extremely careful! Welcome back HTC and please do your best to stay in the smartphone business! ***SEPTEMBER 8TH UPDATE*** Well here I am nearly 2.5 months later and my opinion has NOT changed. Even though the glass is Corning Gorilla Glass 3 as opposed to the latest Gorilla Glass 5, 3 is more scratch resistant than 5 while 5 is more shatterproof. I have yet (knock on wood) to find a single scratch on my screen and as stated before, mine sports the Spigen Liquid Crystal case. My phone lives in my pocket for most of the time and from what I've researched, the Gorilla Glass 3 truly is the reason that I've yet to find a scratch so for those of you who know how unsightly, annoying, and dissapointing a scratch can be on your screen...there was an engineering reason behind this choice as opposed to cost savings. I have also dropped it several times by mistake of course (usually getting out of the car and I forget that it's on my lap) and thankfully there's zero shattering of any kind and mind you that's landing on concrete and asphalt. To sum it all up, I am just as pleased now as I was the day it arrived and my hat 🎩 continues to remain off to HTC for an excellent phone despite near dire financial straits. Rumors are beginning to surface of the U13/U13+ so here's to hoping that they're true and that a year or less from now I'll be clutching one!

The phone is a good phone except the glass. Glass scratched within 36 days of owning just by picking up off table. Called customer support and even though only 6 days after warranty they were not willing to help. They only would do repairs and don't even cover the cost of sending in the phone. I have owned their phones for years and put through hell in the military and never had an issue, now new phone quality has gone down hill along with their support for customers. Probably why they don't sell them anymore in the US and have to buy directly through website or amazon. Went through 3 customers support people and yet nothing was resolved and tried to blame me for phone issues. Will never be going through them ever again when this phone is done. They had great phones in the past but seems they don't care about them or customers anymore.

Worked for 1 month, then completely shut off. Deamed not fixable. 3 mos later still trying to get MW electronics to make it right. And either refund me or at least replace my phone! (Which will probably never happen) 👿👿👿 Update-so mw electronics finally, 6 mos later, gave me a 50% refund and let me keep the phone. Which I then took the refund and sent the phone to HTC to get repaired and then used the refund to pay the repairs. So except a long wait and a lot of hassle they did sort of make it right. I now have the phone back and it works great....so far

didn't come in the factory box, but rather a nondescript android phone box, marked pcs. phone seems in fine shape, but the listed included wireless headphones were not included, just a usb cable.

The BUTTONS, why htc, you could of done so much better, these pressure sense 2 buttons ruin any chance of a case working well. First it wants to feel you holding the phone in portrait, and until you squeeze the phone and the volume button at the same time it will not change the volume. The should come up with a better way to control volume, with a case it will be impossible half of the time leaving you in akward situation where you blast someone's eardrums out cause the music plays at level 100. The only good part is the camera and speakers. The phone is thick, and that's good. Phones need to be body positive, why do we even like thin tiny battery phones. The battery like is, eh, ok. The u11 had amazing battery and I was hopping this would carry over but it just has an average battery life. The screens not that bright. The selfie camera is trash 50% of the time, either failing to capture a sharp image, or perfecting bolkeh. It's simply a bland phone, in a case. Whip it out of your protective case and gamble your 800 phone, and you will be amazed by the slim nice weight with transparent glass and unique buttons.
