It has been a while since the release of the HTC U11+. During this time, the HTC has been almost silent. Of course, it is occasionally 'self-produced and sold'. However, today, the HTC told us that it was such a long time. doing what.
On May 25, 2018, HTC officially released a new generation flagship HTC U12+ in Shenzhen, China. This new machine continues the previous generations of water glass design, with perspective blue, ceramic black, flame red and many others. Color matching.
The most obvious change on the back is that the HTC U12+ has finally returned to the dual-camera solution. The HTC ONE M8's dual-camera design was arguably the best in the entire phone ring. However, due to the hardware conditions of the CMOS, the dual camera was not in that era. perfect.

HTC U12+ rear camera uses a combination of 12 million pixels (wide-angle) + 16 million pixels (telephoto) combination, wide-angle lens aperture reached f/1.75, while the telephoto lens aperture is f/2.6, while HTC U12+ Support optical image stabilization.
The dual cameras of the HTC U12+ also support UltraSpeed 2.0 full-pixel autofocus technology. Based on the phase focus, the laser focus mode has also been added. In the experience, the author found that compared with the previous generation products, the focus speed has obvious progress.
In terms of interesting pictures, HTC U12+ supports HDR Boost 2.0 and human face monitoring technology. It can shoot AR fun sticker photos, supports 1.85x to 2x optical zoom, and has a maximum exposure time of 32 seconds. It can output lossless RAW format photos. , To facilitate our post-processing.
The front camera is also a dual camera, capable of shooting outstanding self-definition, which should be able to impress many young people.
Perhaps these new features and excellent camera performance, this camera's camera on the DxOMark scored a comprehensive score of 103 points, but the actual proof test needs to wait for our later experience evaluation.
HTC U12+ supports 4K video recording. It is understood that electronic image stabilization and optical image stabilization work simultaneously during the shooting process. The image stabilization process is very smooth and natural.
At the same time, it also supports audio source zooming and 3D sound effects. When the video is pulled into the sounding body, the sound becomes larger. For example, a sister in front of me is singing. After the lens is zoomed in, my sister’s singing voice also follows. The increase.
The HTC U12+ is still equipped with the well-known HTC BoomSound Hi-Fi speaker system. The HTC U12+ is still equipped with the best-of-breed HTC BoomSound Hi-Fi speaker system. In terms of headphones, this time the Usonic smart sonar headphones are equipped to automatically sense the ambient noise. Real-time adjustment, so that the effect of intelligent noise reduction.
These functions may be available to many manufacturers, but HTC is not just a mobile phone maker. This time the HTC U12+ is finally connected to VR. After connecting to HTC Vive Focus via Bluetooth, you can receive calls, messages, etc. when using Focus. The news notice, if you come to WeChat during game play, will also be presented in the form of small bubbles. In addition, the mobile phone can also be turned into a handle, and a more perfect immersive experience can be achieved through six degrees of freedom operation, and even a virtual mobile phone can be used. Self-portraits in VR to see the real environment around... all this incredible is achieved on the HTC U12+ and HTC Vive Focus.
Wang Congqing, president of HTC China, stated: “The convening of this eco-conference marked the opening of a new chapter in HTC. Innovation has been rooted in our branded genes since the establishment of HTC, whether in the field of immersive computing for smart mobile or VR and AR. We have never stopped the pace of innovation. The new features and experience introduced this time solve many of the pain points of today's VR/AR industry. It is a crucial step towards accelerating the popularity of the mass market. At the same time, we are demonstrating the innovations we have today. , once again to the industry and partners to prove the HTC's belief - to build a new ecological combination of VR, AR, AI and 5G, accelerate the realization of the vision of Vive Reality.
From the HTC U11 onwards, the HTC has also made a big issue on the borders. For example, the added Edge Sense border touch operation controls different functions by pressing the borders on both sides of the phone. However, the previous operation is relatively simple and the user stickiness seems to be weak. On the HTC U12+, the Edge Sense frame touch has been upgraded to version 2.0. This upgrade brings tactile feedback from simple mechanical feedback and replaces the traditional physical buttons of the past.
Returning to the appearance that many people are most concerned about, the HTC U12+ uses a 18:9 'full screen' design in addition to the 3D water glass design. Why do I dare say this is a 'full screen' design, mainly compared to The previous generation of products, HTC U12 + uses a narrower border design, although it does not reach the 'extreme' of certain models, but after the screen is lit, the author still brings some impact.
HTC U12+ uses Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 processor, up to 6GB RAM+128GB, flash memory is UFS2.1, supports IP68 waterproof and dustproof, built-in 3500mAh battery, post-fingerprint + facial recognition, etc.
In terms of selling price, the 6GB+128GB version of HTC U12+ has now opened appointments in JD.com and other e-commerce companies. The subscription price is 5888 yuan.
to sum up
To say that this is just a mobile phone conference, I think it is not quite right. Mr. Wang Congqing, president of HTC China, has been introducing the terminal hardware to us since the start of the conference. Of course, HTC is not a traditional mobile phone maker. They are pursuing the convenience and entertainment experience that VR can bring us in the future. As a media, should we also rethink, where is the goal of HTC?
