I have a U11 (which replaced a HTC 10) and just placed an order for the U12+ despite the supposedly mediocre battery. I had a look at the S9+ and other devices but in the end, I just love software, edge sense, the audio quality and the fact that is the phone just works flawlessly.
Yea, I did my research and camera is better, audio is better, it's faster and smoother in UI and opening apps, edge sense is a plus, and it's cheaper. BUT beware, the power and volume buttons are IMO absolutely terrible. No update has fixed anything for me. IDK, I may have defective device because other people seem to not have issues.

It works perfectly fine for you, so you might have a device where the sensors are not working properly. But that's why there is warranty

I don't bother with the capacitive buttons either and I use a case (Spigen).
If you can change it that may be a good idea.

I have both phones.
The U12+ is a better one.
if you ask in the samsung thread you will get the samsung answer, here you get htc, bot are good devices while htc has the better camera the samsiung has the better screen, samsung has lagwiz while hrc-s sense may not have so much options as samsung but it works better, the edge sense i wouldant see as a pro or con because it is still a little fidgety, what i have to warn you, it is very very slippery, you cant even leave it on a desk, could happen that it walks and falls down

Contacted HTC about that and they I can send it in for repair but it's 3 weeks. Also, my phone is bootloader unlocked. Would that matter? Relocking it might still show it as being relocked.

Nope, nothing to do with it. If you live in Europe it won't be a problem anyway, in USA or so it normally shouldn't be an issue too

In Europe not as you think. So if there is something wrong with the device which has nothing to do with unlocking the bootloader, it will not be void in that way...only if you **** up the hardware like with overclocking or so, it is void and they will charge you the repair cost

I sent my U11 in for repair after I bricked it. Well I thought I bricked it. HTC didn't fix my phone after having it for five weeks. Didn't even send me documentation on what was done with the phone as it booted once then showed a corrupt OS error. The phone did have an unlocked bootloader. At least HTC didn't charge me anything.

Don't get either! What for the S10.
And its looking like the export ban on Huawei might be completely lifted soon. The Mate 20 is looking to be the best phone of 2018.
Which one between the two has better battery life?
The only thing keeping me from buying the u12+ is the battery life.
Dont bother with mate 20 pro chaps, mine was sent back

Battery life with the latest firmware update is superb! Light to medium usage nets 7 hours of SOT with 2 days between charges if you are used to draining your battery to 10%
I have both phones. I was obsessed with the U12+ for months and finally pulled the trigger. I went back to the S9+. I couldn't stand the capacity buttons going nuts every once in a while and missed the headphone jack. Low light in the front camera is also better on the S9+.
I'd really hate to say it, especially being an HTC guy for all these years. Some of you may know me for developing the toolkits for HTC device to root them.
I went from the HTC 10 to the S9. I switched carriers and got a brand new S9 from Samsung directly for $480 earlier this year.
Huge difference with the 2 phones. I miss my HTC. I will say that. The camera on the S9 is extraordinary. It's the best camera I've ever used. My Nokia N8 (back 8 years ago) was the only phone I'd say that has an amazing camera, especially with Xenon flash!
The wireless charging on the S9 is a godsend. I charge my phone with it and prefer not to use the USB cable. Also, the S9 is easy to take apart. I work for Asurion, so I take apart phones nearly everyday. HTC is a pain in the ass to do. I can open the S9, swap the battery and put it back together in about 15 minutes. Super easy.
So in terms of maintenance, hardware and all that good stuff, I'd go with the S9, S9+ in your case. Only downside is that my battery is terrible since Day 1 and the phone can't be rooted/unlock the bootloader. I'm not really caring into fixing my battery issue. I deal with phones enough to not even care about my own.
Hy guys.....First of all,thank you....Second ... my new phone.....HTC u12+ .....So far so good,just 30 min ago i received the phone.No problems with ,,buttons'' .Now i need to install the latest updates for software.

I'm considering to buy a long lasting phone and Nexus S seem to be good, do you think it will survive over 2 years without casing? I'm good at caring phone, my current Sony Ericsson G900 is already over 2 years old and still functioning perfectly (it looks worn out clearly) and most people who have my phone broke within a year.
Nexus S is going to be my first Android phone, only thing that I don't like that you can't enable or disable flash in camera mode, it will decide if it should flash or not by it own. The design seem awkward but I could handle it.
I'm also considering Incredible S but it doesn't have enough developers and it's still locked, so I guess I should go for Nexus S.
What do you think, will it survive more than 2 years?

It probably would if your G900 did.
But the galaxy s II is more durable than both.

It depends of what you talking about ? If hardware wise maybe and Evo 3D , htc sensation or SGSII but about updates most likely this one , any phone that is in the market and is a high end device most likely get ice cream(next big update for android) , nexus s most likely get it before anyone else(besides maybe nexus 3) google is trying to get manucfactures to make sure their phones they get updates within 18 months since launch but first they havent sign a form or paper that says they will second they haven't said for how long after google releases the update they need to release it as well so for all I know they could take 6 months( Evo is getting official gingerbread after 6 months, rolling out June 6, and the Evo was one of the best android phones in 2010 and a best carrier phone ) So I would stick with google if you want timely updates , that's one of the reason I got Me a nexus s
He is talking about the phone durability and yes, I would say it should last 2 years. It's made of plastic but it's not poor quality, it's much better then the galaxy S.
Since its a Google phone, you can't go wrong on picking it, it will always have the up-to-date software and will always have developers, even after 3 years (well, unless its about hardware limitation).
Its currently one of the best (if not the best) single core devices on the market, its definitely future proof.
And the camera does have the ability to turn the flash on or off, depending on your preferences.
The design is gorgeous btw, at least I think it is. The curve form is unique and when the display is turned off it looks completely black and clean, I think it looks very elegant.

Thanks for your responses. Though there's one problem, I live in Moscow, Russia and there is no Google support store or something like that, if I need phone repair, it won't be possible?
Though I never need any repairs in past, so hopefully it will be same for Nexus S.

Don't use your rubles on a nexus s when its going to be outdated in a few months

I'm almost convinced to sell my Sammy S8+ and buying an HTC U11!
What I need to know is this: is there an advantage to get a specific variant
over another as far as the "Rom/Kernel Development" goes?
I live in Canada but can also import one or even get a "US unlocked" unit.
Thank you.

Well, those of us who have been with HTC since the beginning of time welcome you with open arms... but before that, there's a few things we have to go over on our "Are-You-Worthy-Of-The-HTC-Phone-Checklist"
1. Do you constantly wish you could change your phone to fit your needs (you're that guy that always has something unique or flashy on their phone)?
2. Are you a nerd, geek or maybe have high aspirations to be either (Blessed are the nerds, for they shall inherit the earth)?
3. Are you a selfless, confident guy who values quality and uniqueness over useless features?
4. Do you promise to remain faithful, year after year, even if HTC fails to produce devices worthy of your C.H.C (cold hard cash)?
If so, then I recommend going after the regular Unlocked HTC U11 (US version). International version from my experience though comes with dual sims, take longer to get updates and other critical software improvements.
Ditch Sammy and grab the HTC. You might even find yourself with a sexy nerdy chick on your arm! :good:

I've got the U.S. unlocked version and it has 2 sims or it can be used with 1 sim and an sdcard.
My suggestion is get the 6GB/128GB unlocked version ... this way you can use both simslots if you need to and still have more than enough storage. :laugh:

This thing flies! I'm not sure if it's because I disabled animation in Developer options but this is really fast! The unit is slippery at the same time for me it feels very nice to hold. Premium build as expected from HTC. And yes the camera...its great! 6GB/128GB here?
Just got it in Black. S8 display was to narrow for me.

Well I went from the s8+ to the G6, lasted 1 day back to the s8+ then I got the OnePlus 5. Ditched the s8+ for the oneplus. Lost the great display but gained a smooth lag free experience. Then I got a great deal on the HTC U11. Never considered HTC before that. Never been a fan of touch U11 and their cameras we always ****ty. So when the U11 Dxomark rated 90 came along it seemed like an obvious choice. So now I got rid of the oneplus 5 and I'm rocking the U11 until the note 8 comes along.
The U11 software experience is just as smooth as the oneplus 5 with half the ram so better than the s8+. Only downside imo is the UI it's very dated. It basically looks like kit kat. The theming engine is laughable and sense is way too invasive. On the upside the design and finish is great, the screen is surprisingly good and the sound is also very good. So in the end somehow HTC U11>Oneplus5 >S8+
And yeah no lag.
Did I mention no lag... ?

Oh yeah. Oneplus has definitely taken over the Nexus mantle. Lots of bang for your buck with a thriving development community. The only reason that made me go with the U11 is the better camera. I'm not sure which provider you're with. I'm with Telus and I lost my LTE + with the U11 had it on both the s8+ and the OP5 just in case that sort of thing matters to you. ?

That's the thing. I have no idea. Bought it off of Kijiji. I have no idea where to find the info. Don't know if I have the Canadian, us, or international variant.
Essentially this. Seriously tempted to cancel my Pixel 2 XL panda order and order one of these instead. Ironically, I'd probably still get this before the Panda XL, which would be with me around 21st December!
What's HTC like to deal with if you have issues? My previous HTC phone was a One X, so I'm a bit behind!
100 quid less, twice the memory & 2Gb more RAM along with expandable storage and the second best Android camera is swaying me, but stock android is making me waver...

Very true. Don't actually care about Daydream, which I know is a perk of OLED. What are the software updates like now? More frequent, or few and far between?
I've heard some truly horrendous examples of HTCs customer service when it comes to repairs, both on the internet and a couple through my old place of work (mobile phone repair contact centre), which is another reason I'm hesitating.

Very true. Don't actually care about Daydream, which I know is a perk of OLED. What are the software updates like now? More frequent, or few and far between?
I've heard some truly horrendous examples of HTCs customer service when it comes to repairs, both on the internet and a couple through my old place of work (mobile phone repair contact centre), which is another reason I'm hesitating.

My experience i had with HTC (NL) was always good, proper response and whenever i had some issues HTC picked it up and without any discussion repaired my phones. i really like them, and yes there will always be some to say to each company but i am using HTC form the old days (when the produced phones under the brand of Qtek) and they never really disappointed me.
With the HTC online store, the only place I can buy the U11+ | and no financing option, I can not consider it sadly. LG V30 is my bottom choice - the OnePlus 5T could be good - and the Razer Phone is a good choice also.
I preordered the phone from the UK store. Just wondering where all the reviews are at? Is it because none of the U.S. outlets received review models or is there an embargo? All the reviews are from people who imported the phone. I know that some outlets like android central went to events and said they were going to review it.... so does anyone know?
I think its HTC strategy with this phone, their marketing budget for it must be about £5! All I've seen is things on their social media and website, nothing anywhere else. I.E they aren't giving it out in the UK/europe for free for people to review, hence English reviews will only really come about when people who have paid for the phone get it.
Very strange, maybe it some deal they had with google considering its competing with the pixel 2 xl and this pretty much was going to be that phone?

Hi,
Can you connect your HTC U11 plus to your TV with a usb c/HDMI adaptator.
Thanks for your reply.

That's a great question.
Yes in theory it should be possible. Especially since HTC actively advertises this feature in the U11+ specifications page on their website. If you scroll all the way down you will see a "DisplayPort" feature in the list. That's the technology behind the magic. The so called Displayport alt mode.
I wish one of the reviewers would finally hook up their U11 or U11+ directly to their TV using a simple USB-C to HDMI cable. There's exactly 2 videos demonstrating this feature on YouTube but they're using the older U10.
None of the U11 or U11+ reviewers demonstrated this awesome feature so far. What a shame. They didn't do their homework.
Give me a U11 or a U11+ and I will do a proper review.
Bunch of amateur reviewers!
Don't expect to see too many reviews cuz the device isn't widely available

Most reviewers are from the US so don't expect many besides the ones that are available already. So people like MKBHD, MrMobile etc probably won't review it cuz they usually get review units. Maybe J Williams and Flossy might if they import it.

The phone is awesome. Battery life, photos, smoothness but a little bit heavy
GSM Arena have a review coming

Yeah the battery life is the main reason I opted for this phone, along with the LCD HDR display and good camera. It just doesn't seem to have any compromises outside of the headphone jack.
If you have the phone id love to see some screen on time screenshots.
Also, in line with the topic of the thread, GSMArena just did an article saying they're reviewing the phone now!
GSMArena review is coming soon!

Can you connect the Huawei mate 10 directly to your TV and watch the multimedia content on the big screen in real time?
The HTC can do it!
There's your answer.

That's great. I didn't know Huawei Mate 10 had DisplayPort functionality. All modern smartphones should have it out of the box if you ask me.
If anything you would want the Huawei Mate 10 Pro . The other mates only have 4 GB RAM. You want it to compete with the U11+ right.
But then again the Mate 10 Pro has AMOLED screen and no sdcard slot which is a big turnoff. The Mate 10 have LCD and sdcard slot but only 4 GB RAM...
You know what. Just save yourself lots of trouble and get the U11+ which has 6 GB RAM & sdcard slot & LCD display.

If it helps, I returned my pixel 2 XL, due to screen issues and random reboots.
Then I purchased a Huawei mate 10 Pro, and have used it for the last two days. It's a great phone(screen is fantastic) but it's the little things that are bothering me with it, so I will be returning it tomorrow ( no double tap to wake, Bluetooth playback is quiet, speakers aren't great, finger print is slow at responding, always on display doesn't show notifications and keeps freezing on wrong time)
I will be purchasing the HTC u11+ and I think it's going to be spot on, but we'll see ?
Might seem fussy but if I'm paying big money, it has to be right ?
Is it worth upgrading to U11+ if i already have the U11?
I did, and I think it's a good update.

The bottom bezel still a bit big? Like in the U11 just without the FP sensor? I saw the videos but it's hard to tell without probably seeing it in person.
I don't want to call it big.. Bigger than the S8. That's a fact. But disturbing no. It's heavy compared to the u11 but that's normal with this gigantic battery.

BS. It isn't just a nice update.. it's a must..
U11+ is the best device hTc ever made. And we've been waiting for it since 2007 ..

Missing twrp. There are no custom rooms. No s-off. I'm starting to regret getting my U11 +

Yep that what always been the problem with non (yearly) flagship htc phones. Add to that the total lack of accessories in my country (covers, screen protectors...)
. So now I have to wait for the u12
I don't think this phone needs custom anything to be honest.
The camera is already top 3
Audio is only bested by the V30/20 series
It's as smooth as a Pixel
No bloat
Battery is good

And there's someone working already in a Pixel 2 port, so it will be even better.
Isn't the port already done?

This is my only complaint. Having come from an iPhone 6s Plus back to Android with the U11 Plus, there is absolutely no accessories for this phone. Heck, even many big case manufacturers didn't even make anything for the U11 flagship, and every single one seemed to ignore the U11 Plus now. Even Dbrand and others stopped making skins for HTC products.

A very big reason why I buy Android phones is because it's fun to tweaking and playing around with customizations with the software.
I agree this phone is one of the best for a regular user, but I think many of us here on xda wanted at least twrp, s-off and LeeDroid rom or something...
Now this is "just" a good smartphone. To bad Im already bored.
