HTC has recently sent to our labs their U12+ flagship smartphone, which includes some very interesting features such as Edge Sense 2, two high-quality back cameras for getting clear and color accurate photos, HTC BoomSound, USonic and Qualcomm aptX HD audio but alsoLiquid Surface artistic design of the chassis. The U12+ also sports high performance thanks to the included Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 SoC with X20 LTE and is available with either 64 or 128GB of internal storage, depending on the region; all SKUs have 6GB of RAM as standard, in order to be able to run a lot of applications at once and to avoid slowdowns.
