This smartphone has four cameras - two at the front and two at the rear. The rear camera comprises of a 12MP primary wide-angle camera and a secondary 16MP telephoto camera with 2x optical zoom. There is portrait mode, which lets blurring the background and leaving the subject separated for a DSLR-like effect. There is improved autofocus and new features such as 4K60 video recording, a smooth auto zoom function and Sonic Zoom. Notably, Sonic Zoom uses four inbuilt microphones to focus on the part of the video that you have selected and zoomed in.

Better audio quality

HTC is the pioneer of the smartphone audio technology called BoomSound. Now, it has implemented an improved version of the same with two separate speakers - one acting as a tweeter and the other speaker to deliver a fuller audio output. The device misses out on a headphone jack but comes with a pair of USB-C USonic earbuds with active noise cancellation bundled in the box.

A translucent version

HTC is known for the stylish design of its offerings. The U12+ is not too different in terms of design but it has the "liquid surface" signature HTC design with three finishes such as black, red and translucent blue. The translucent blue stands out in the crowd by letting you take a glance at the device's innards.

HDR10 display

The smartphone comes fitted with a 6-inch Super LCD6 display with support for HDR10 and DCI-P3. It has an aspect ratio of 18:9 and a resolution of 1440 x 2280 pixels. With HDR10, the screen can give a similar experience as that of the 55-inch TV monitors with amazing colors.
