We’ve spent years telling you that HTC is downhill and has no brakes, but on a commercial level it’s no lie. It’s not because the company makes bad phones or anything, quite the opposite. As the saying goes: some card the wool and others breed heroes.
Now the company has just presented the HTC U12 + which is currently the best terminal in its catalog and today we are going to explain it why this is one of the most interesting mobile phones of the year.
Yes, the HTC U12+ is the best we’ve seen this year, and these are the reasons
Some design lines rely on the original rather than the copy
We’re almost halfway through 2018, and we have already been able to present most of the key initiatives of all relevant firms on the market, ie. But honestly, if I had to choose, I’d take last year’s badges.
And that means, as we’ve been told at times, that we live in a moment where fluidity and speed are no longer a concern on Android. And now design is one of the main areas that manufacturers are focusing on.
This should be exciting but the truth is that the opposite is true as instead of trying to be original and create their own design most companies Unfortunately, they’re going with design lines very afín to those of the iPhone X, with a notch at the top.
HTC is one of the few companies that hasn’t committed to copying Apple at the high end
But the thing is that the iPhone X has a very thin, almost indetectable frame on all edges of the terminal, which gives the terminal a very homogeneous and symmetrical look, and Copies from Android manufacturers have an oversized bottom bezel that ruins the aesthetics of the front.
As you perro see from the pics, HTC is still struggling not to go with the flow and the truth is that as a usuario I prefer some original design lines – although the camera layout makes me weird – – rather than a vulgar copy of the Apple terminal, and that is a reason to praise the Taiwanese company.
Programa that adds value
If there’s something that distinguishes HTC terminals, it’s its programa, and we don’t orinan it badly, quite the opposite, since it’s one of the few companies that respect Android Pure enough, and that’s it The changes they make are meant to try and improve it.
In fact, you only have to look at the terminal interfaz to know that it is well maintained and very intuitive, but also, the terminal has additions like the Edge Launcher, with which we perro launch the menu of applications – save as shortcuts – simply by pressing the terminal, as well as the artificial intelligence widget that espectáculos the company of so much.
But also on a personal level I think it has a nice and minimalistic usuario interfaz that differs a bit from pure Android but not in the same way as Chinese companies like Xiaomi or Lenovo. but more in the style of Samsung, with its own ideas of what the interfaz of its terminals should be, and in a very good way.
An accurate product in every respect
Design and programa aside, which are two of the most important areas in today’s high-end space, this HTC U12+ is an accurate product, that combines design and programa with currently unbeatable hardware.
