those of you wondering what HTC has been up to since the reason Google developments the answer is a lot meet the HTC you 12 plus what the company is calling its way to live on the edge though this isn't necessarily a call-out to the design philosophy reporting from New York City I'm home in Nevada with pocket now and let's go hands-on to learn why to place all speculation behind there is no standard HTC u12 that we know of at least not yet the HTC u12 plus follows on the same liquid design that began with the HTC u ultra with curved Gorilla Glass in the front and the back there are three color options to choose from ceramic black flame red and translucent blue with the latter being the coolest one as it follows on its name of giving you a sneak peak on the internals and speaking of those we have the latest flagship specification starting with a new qualcomm snapdragon 840 5 6 gigabytes of ram options for 64 or 128 gigs of expandable storage it supports a 3500 milliamp hour battery though no wireless charging --into ip68 water in this resistance and this phone will actually bring a single SKU that's even compatible with Verizon the design has a few new tricks like the buttons being fully digital you will feel the phone vibrate every time you press them and this actually means that if the phone fully discharges you'll have to wait about five minutes of charging in order for them to work there's also edge sense too now with the double press for one-handed usability though you can fully map this to do something else and also at sensitivity yes the one squeeze for one action then the squeeze and hold for another are still here and this phone actually knows how you're holding it meaning it won't flip the screen if you don't want to boom sound speakers have been enhanced to also be 30% louder than the U 11 with extra tuning on the tweeter and woofer and apparently there will be you sonic earbuds in the box to help with active noise cancellation as before reimagined we have a brand new six inch Super LCD 6at quad HD plus resolution and eighty by nine aspect ratio on this display while supporting the p3 color gamut yes there are less bezels than before but definitely not following the current trends that have proven to be more popular powering the show is HTC Sense on top of android 8.0 sadly not 8.1 and notice there is no number after sense though the company confirms that they're continuing to work on not interfering with stock Android as much as they can features like blinkfeed are still here in addition to the iconography and widgets that we've praised in the past and yes there is also support for Alexa as your digital assistant but then that's the only way to differentiate this phone from others in software and I actually find that to be great now the most interesting thing to note about this phone is there are four cameras yes four on the back we have a 12 ultra pixel 4 camera which means F 1.7 aperture and 1.4 microns the other is of 16 megapixels that F 2.6 with telephoto capabilities both cameras bring oh is there's Ultra speed autofocus and HDR boost too with improvements even in strong --let scenarios then yes there is a bouquet mode which allows you to edit the blur and the focus after the photo is taken video wise the phone is capable of 240 frames per second at Full HD 4k at 60 frames per second it brings four microphones for audio and sonic zoom which focuses audio wherever you're zooming into as for the two other cameras they are both of 8 megapixels at f/2 aperture and 1.1 2 microns the whole idea here is to support bouquet effects as well so yes this is the HTC u12 plus I'd call it an interesting evolution to what we've seen before but obviously our full review will shed some light on our final thoughts let us know what you think about it in the comments down below and while you're at it make sure you follow us on social media and subscribe to our channel for more videos like this one and follow me on Twitter Jaime underscore it on instagram @ hi every letter please give this video thumbs up if you liked what you saw I'm every bit I think so much for watching we'll see you on the next one
