HTC Desire 12+ - User Reviews

  • It is because it does not supports volte. Am using jio 4g voice it works good

  • It may be because of the charger that come with the phone Try another charger And if the phone does not charge because it is closed and can not power on, then press the power button for 15 seconds

  • I can't use jio sim for calling... But I can access internet... And am downloaded jio voice call app also... When I making a call from that app.. On that time... It goes to offline.... Why?

  • please tell me HTC desire 12+ or lenovo k5 pro 64GB

  • Will this phone update to android 9 ?

  • hii which is better htc desire 12+ or sony xperia XA1 plus ?? thanks.

  • That 2000 mah batteries u see on HTC phones is as strong as 4000 mah batteries. Prove me wrong,buy the phone and see. Talking from experience..

  • HTC still is disappointing with it's 2000 mAh batteries. Other Phones have upgraded to 5000 mAh batteries, Why is htC like this?

  • Iz has one loudspeaker no surround. But it is ok.

  • Hi, could you let me know onscreen time if i only set 4G to receive news, no game, thank you !

  • I had it ordered. It has 3 slots, 2 for SIM Cards and one for microSD card. Though it first wants to format my card which was in a Samsung device before, which I find weird.

  • I have international version of HTC Desire 12+ and it doesn't support face ID or face recognition by default to unlock the devise I'm using fingerprint, may be you can try third party apps.

  • bro, i use this HTC it has face ID, for music bro what the heck are headphones for? and the free headphones quality great!

  • Does it Supports LTe whether 2 Sim + 1 Memory card can be used at a single time

  • Yes it's new chipset , This chipset is used for all mid-range smartphone like Huawei Xiaomi , and it's performance is very good.

  • Yes It does

  • Does the HTC 12+ have face unlock? Someone should please answer me. I'm considering to buy htc 12+ or Nokia 5.1 plus

  • Is the latest model of chipset installed in the latest model of HTC Desire 12+?

  • Can HTC Desire 12+ get 8.1 update?

  • The sound quality is GOOD! It's just not loud.

  • Sound Quality is not good. If you are a music lover than don't buy this phone.

  • Thanks. I'll buy the phone. I hope I'll enjoy it

  • Yes, it does. It comes with an FM Radio app (in "Media" folder) and you need to connect headphones to use it (because the headphones' wire is used as the antenna).

  • Does it have FM radio? Please I need answer

  • thanks

  • yes

  • does it have USB on the go?

  • I'm not.

  • I m dissapointi with camera results

  • It's a low resolution screen that uses little power. You have no idea what you're talking about. And I get an insane amount of idle time with this phone. It's super efficient.

  • Agree. They could stop making their own phones and make a comeback after just a couple of years.

  • What is the Bangladeshi Price of HTC Desire 12+

  • 2965mAh battery with 6" screen!!?? O come on HTC!, you tried this time but you fail, as always. No one still can beat lenavo P2 in budget corner.

  • I put some app shortcut on home screen, and after restart phone, they missing.

  • what shortcut icon?.......

  • I hava a problem, after restart phone, shortcut icon at home scren missing.

  • I have problem , shortcut icon at home screen missing after restart phone.

  • I have this phone for only 1 week,and i get 6-7(even 8) hours of screen usage and few days on single charge ,I had htc u play as well and it had horrible battery life comparing to this,I just got a notification for system update,should i update it ?

  • hows the battery backup when using just social apps?

  • Great phone.....

  • The quality of this phone is far from perfect, but for the price it's very nice.

  • It is only $200!!!!. The quality of HTC is just perfect.

  • slap a silicone cover on it and no one will tell the difference. until you drop your phone and pick it up smirking ;) I'd take plastic and aluminum phones over glass phones anytime: easier to repair and the back doesn't shatter. Sadly, upper midrange is almost fully occupied by glass sandwiches.

  • It is plastic, but I don't see any reason to worry about that.

  • I am HTC user from past 4 years. This month planning to buy desire 12 plus. Usually I love HTC mobile designs same in love with desire 12 plus model. However, I am worried about phone back covering because in my reviews all are commenting stating back covering is plastic not glass as mentioned in specifications. Please ckarify. Thanks in advance.

  • Something is obviously wrong with your phone, because there's no reason at all for that kind of problems. You probably ordered it from an unauthorized dealer, meaning it's fake or has a custom ROM installed.

  • PLEASE avoid this phone, I have purchased this phone over the weekend and it was delivered today. The phone keeps freezing and becomes non responsive, I am very disappointed as I paid £199 for something that doesn't work. I have contacted HTC and await there response. I want my money back from them. A disgrace and shame on you HTC.

  • Please, review this device

  • Personally I haven't had any problem with wifi, and it has very good reception too. And the 4G carrier reception is also very good, equal to Galaxy S7 Edge and S8+ even in my problematic region in which many phones struggle. I'm very surprised by the camera's quality, it's good even in low light, despite the high f number. I guess they used to back-side illumination, and it has high quality focus ability too. The processor is great and unlike the "flagship phones", this phone never gets ridiculously hot. Very nice. I don't need super speed - good speed and usability is much more important. The most important thing in a phone other than reception - the speaker and mic quality, very clear. People can hear me clearly and I can hear them clearly. This can't be said about many other smartphones. Nice design, and very light. Yes, it's definitely worth the price.

  • I am owner this phone. i have used it for 1 month.... This is really crazy phone. very fast.... never hang.... This is first time i using HTC. Now i know why HTC is more expensive. For me, its a little bit pricey because they make good quality material. This is my conclusion about this phone 1) Battery = Perfect, Battery almost 2 days. I very-very satisfied this phone (because using 720p. HTC so brilliant . 2) Processor = Very fast even using SD 450.. 3) Camera = OK.. even bokeh also good. 4) Speaker = Very loud. even did't have Boom system Problem = only i have 1 disappointed this phone. Wifi. wifi hard to connect. need to lock phone and unlock,... then wifi will connect.. hope HTC can update this bug.. Overall i really like this phone. Good quality for price... i very hate people who compared with rubbish brand like xiaomi, oppo.vivo...asus.. that all rubbish phone.. always lagging.... HTC gooddd.....

  • They should use SD 660 in Desire 12+. Why this poor chip in 2018's hTc. Please grow up hTc.

  • I think its good that they increased the battery backup in this phone where by my phone HTC desire 820 only have 2600 mAh

  • Its good news that HTC is coming with some new models. But what about the products which are already lying with the retail and their former channel partners ? The company have cheated their partners who have invested good money in their earlier models. Still many of the distributors and retailers in India are struggling to liquidate their old stocks in the market and company officials have kept a deaf ear towards all the genuine pleadings. SO... be careful to deal with this brand. We have lot of evidences to prove that their dealings are not fair.

  • Have you used this phone? Since it is not launched in India, you might not have, yet u r giving opening like an expert merely watching the specification only. Probably You are comparing it with mi phones, which are of lowest quality products I know as I m using. HTC is better product be informed.

  • Have you used this phone? Since it is not launched in India, you might have one I m sure while u r giving opening like an expert.

  • moto g6...battery is better...and big screen..thats all

  • Xiaomi has way better phones in this price range

  • As my secondary phone I am choosing between Motorola G6 & HTC Desire 12+. Which one would be better?

  • as you live, many of us are getting on board..sorry

  • Yes!! This phone is now for sale in the UK for £199!! BARGAIN!! Just buy it! It has a large screen, great looks, fingerprint sensor, 8.0, decent cameras, front flash. The only downside is the processor for 3D gaming and a 720p screen. (But as far as screens go it's a damn good one) For most people who use multi-media this is the perfect phone!

  • what the resolution when watching youtube video??is it 720p or what

  • Hello. In Ukraine Sams j5 (2017) 2/32gb Exenos 8 x A53 cores 1.6Ghz cost START from = 240usd and sams j7 (2017) 3/16(!!!)gb Ex 8x A53 cores 1.6Ghz cost = start from 265usd (last year was from 380usd!!!). Now sams present new j8 (6.0") like this one with QSD 450 4/64gb = will cost around 300usd (somewhere). Has HTC D12+ chances for good sales? Of course! And other HTC too. Maybe not in US or GB or West Europe. P.S. My phone now is old Sony X (f5122) - qsd650, 3/64gb cost me around 230 usd.

  • Ghatiya phone with ghatiya processor.why give only 3gb ram when even low budget phones give 4gb. Time to say goodbye to htc now...

  • Htc desire 12+ is most beautiful low range phone.

  • HTC!! Why have you not got this phone for sale yet? You announced it on 20 March 2018 and to date it is still not for sale in the UK! Today is 19 May 2018. How can you expect anyone to remember to buy it when you take this long to put it in stores or even online? I have been rooting for you guys but your lackadaisical approach is going to be your undoing!

  • I agree for the most part. But 450 is enough for 2018. Not all users need a phone for gaming. I have a snapdragon 400/ 1 G ram and it's still enough for my daily tasks. The pricing maybe HTC's main problem, but a sd450 should be enough for anything you throw at it save for heavy games

  • Not quite right. Htc 10,11 and 11+ are rather good smartphones. The Htc's problem is in the marketing. And obviously in that they can't make good medium-class smartphones like Xiaomi. For ex: Htc desire 12 and 12+ are suggested on the main russian site. Of course it's a trash because mediatek and 450 snapdragon with 32/3 gb memory isn't enough in 2018. And again we look at the Xiaomi smarthpones with 600-series snapdragon and 64/4 gb memory with the smaller price. Back again to the russian market-we can't get officialy u11 eyes which is spectacular with its price and specifications that are almost the same as in the u11+. Of course the same for the u life. So they get what they deserve

  • What a joke. CIAO HTC time to say good bye to a mobile business. Just few more words. Person standing behind creating this joke really needs a slap and the kick to his butt and sack from business.

  • am going to buy this phone next week....

  • The money invested in making this phone could've been used to manufacture the Pixel 3 phones, which are going to destroy any HTC's own phones anyway. They should stop making their own phones and just make Google phones instead. Not only can they regain a lot of profit, they will be known by many again like they did in the early days of Android. If they really want to make their own phones still, then they can just make their own flagship with lots of features and specs at a reasonable price. With it, they can be known for the new "flagship killer" of this era since OnePlus is starting to go away from it.

  • 2965mAh battery on 720p display could be long lasting.

  • Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1 says hi!!!...... Not only cheaper, it has bigger battery. better camera, USB-C, bigger RAM, and much much much better SD636 SoC... RIP HTC u wont be missed.

  • Small battery for a 6", atleast it has 3.5mm jack. But then again there are much cheaper phones or same price point that even has SD450 or better SoC SD630/636. In short, DoA.

  • nice budget phone

  • why? htc why? i know why you drop . it because its not look nice . and try make deferance type of phones as like a samsung edge display

  • I don't know why HTC is still producing phones. best revamp , sell the company, or shut down for good.

  • MicroUSB hahahahahahahhahahahha!!!

  • Why is the Infrared removed ?!

  • i think baterry is gona be great becouse htc have best optimization of software plus is not full hd and proc. is small consu.So i have u play and evrbady is so judgemental about it.And gas what i am very satesfied whit phone,it is so fluid and games work very good,plus batery can do all day with normal use.So who buy this phone is gonna be very pleased

  • unique royal gold color...

  • real shame from them to put 2.0 usb charge port maybe they will make another Desier 12 pro or somthing they at least put 3.0 usb charge and ya no dual apps

  • I guess they live 5 years back

  • good design

  • Too much price ,I think for htc they have to make their time correct it's 2018 now not 2017 always running one year late.I think htc can do better than this.

  • Look at the resolution. HD will not consume a lot of battery juice. It is a good combination

  • I can't believe that a big phone still made with an HD display 😕 What a shame that a mid range phone has HD display

  • Really beautiful phone, I love the gold color option.

  • If they made both Desire versions with 1080p screens, Snapdragon 636 & more colours for $100 more, I'm sold. Please make it happen HTC it looks great, just keep the same design & add better specs.

  • While Xiaomi Redmi 5 have 5.7 inch screen and price of around 120 euro and single camera this HTC looks way over priced with it's 250 euro price range. Dont even have FHD+ screen on it with it's 6 inch. Other specs of hardware is pretty much same. HTC dont even have fast charging that Redmi 5 have for that price even. So For the HTC brand it's ok to pay 2 redmi 5 price ? :D I dont own a Xiaomi but have a Leagoo Kiicaa Mix and i am looking to change it to something new but so far i cant find anything that matches Xiaomi Redmi 5 or Meizu M6s. Meizu at least have even better hardware then Redmi 5 or this Dessire 12+ and well i like the side mounted fingerprint reader for Meizu and price range for that is even around 160 euro.

  • 5 stars for this phone...

  • Why everyone says that battery is poor? HTC is one of the companies which has a great Android optimization. Nowdays smartphones are not made for endurance

  • It is so a pity yo they are still putting small ass batteries in their damn phones and talking about fast charge. I used to be a die-hard fan until they came with the HTC One with the stupid Purple Haze and the only way it can be fixed temporarily is to put it in the freezer in a plastic bag and wait 15 minutes to use the device how stupid can one be

  • now trend set is 18:9 display Dual rear camera Snapdragon processors

  • i think htc is not serious and concerned about the demand of the customers. no gorilla glass, 720p Resolution seriously, 13+2 mp what a joke if you dont want to provide dual camera then remove the 2 mp also, no fast battery charging, 2900 mah of battery (what rubbish, and sd 450 in 2018. stop making smartphones and start scrap business of smartphones.

  • Snapdragon 450 was released mid-2017 so why should it be a surprise in an early 2018 phone? You're right though, it's a bit of an underwhelming phone.

  • i know that snapdragon 450 is slightly newer chipset. but it only gets your thing done. HTC should use at least 600 series chipset in this phone like 62X or 65X

  • Is htc serious? Snap dragon 450 in a 2018 phone? Small battery smh this phone is a waste of time and production

  • Budget phone for not so budget price. I am SAAAAAAAD. Anyway HTC is a dying company so soon i wont have to bother at all.

  • Please somebody confirm... the frame of this handset... i know the back is acrylic but i dont know the frame.. is it plastic or aluminium? someone know?

  • Last but not the least, this phone has Trimmed Bezels at a premium price range.

  • Not worth for money. Very low specs...

  • The plus design looks good. I'll wait for the reviewer on youtube about this phone.

  • Proc is ok, 450=625, 14 nm, adreno 506. 12+ look like, but display so so, if it good ips - ok.

  • Under Standard Specs .

  • What on earth were they thinking? 6 inch screen with 2965 mAh battery? Everything you need to know about the state of HTC is right there. Another unserious phone from HTC.

  • Why make a such nice looking phone with such dreadful specs?

  • Being HTC mobile user, I appreciate build quality of its smartphones. However, for HTC12+ Total Thumbs down for Processor, Resolution, Front Camera specs. Battery should higher, If it upgrades these features, i would take it even at higher price.

  • So let's compare with: a) Oppo A71(2018) - smaller screen and resolution, Nougat, half storage, inferior camera, no finger print same battery = 130 eur b) Vivo V7 - Nougat, +1GBRAM, inferior camera, same battery, same price c) Vivo V7+ - Nougat, double storage, +1GBRAM, inferior camera(though selfie is better), 3200mAh(marginally better battery) = 360 eur(WTF!!!) d) Huawei - to begin with, Huawei chipsets are ... and second what model ? It's difficult to compare because of the chipset. I'd say because of a), b) HTC Desire 12+ has fair specs & price. I can't say anything about Huawei.

  • Expensive for those specs

  • Yes I really don't know why they use very low specs.

  • Horrible specs, HTC does not want to listen to customers at any cost.

  • MicroUSB, overpriced, wow. Good luck with that......

  • HTC, guys you don't feel ashamed to show this phone on 2018!!! the chines phones Oppo and vivo and Huawei has specifications more than this phone and you not't ashamed to call it phone ??? HTC ten years ago was the best in Mobile phones even batter than Samsung but now is the last on line!

  • Not a single specification stands out man.........Need to Shutdown ......No Respect

  • U11 Eyes is using an outdated processor and doesn't have a headphone jack. Not worth it

  • So go for htc u11 eyes

  • Battery and resolution sucks. I would think their pricing will suck big time as well.

  • If this had a bigger battery, and Snapdragon 660 with 4GB RAM/64GB storage...I'd have bought this. This is how the HTC 10 should have evolved.

  • Yo wats up with these guys putting those PUNY ASS BATTERIES IN THEIR PHONES? Damn it u have this big ass screen little battery then ur friggin phone is dead before the day talking about fast charging. BS

  • Launching series of new models, but not a single one is popular nor available! First time dual camera and bezeless, too late too little. Against prices for to much, than Chinese, with better specs. HTC come to senses.

  • if release with 5.7 inch & 3800Mah to 4000Mah i will buy it

  • goodbye htc

  • What is the use of this phone. With this CPU, unless it costs around a $100, no one is buying it.

  • Give me squeezability and stereo speakers and I'm sold!

  • one minute of silence for HTC

  • Long long time ago a HTC company were born from then it went like a rollercoaster up and down until it came to and dead end and close to its closing due to no possible future. This phone refers to that. High price for nothing special.
