HTC Desire 12s - User Reviews

  • More cores actually equal better battery life, batteries have improved significantly in the recent years, the Lenovo P2 has 8 cores and has one of the longest lasting phones. Also 28nm chips don't mean that much. My Moto E2 gets 10 hours SOT, so do many newer phones with 14 or 7nm.

  • Rather Mediatek than recharging the device 4-6 times a day...

  • thought HTC could improve on this handset, this is not enough though..... outscore processors consume more power.......downgrade its processor.

  • No thanks with MediaCrap...... Better having Snapdragon than the closed source rare to no custom rom support mediacrap socs.

  • It's sad seeing the state of HTC (particularly their mobile division) these days :(

  • Well 28nm + octa-core is gonna drain that little battery fast, why did they not grab a MTK Helio P22 or MTK Helio A22? Both would be better for the battery! D:

  • You barely can fool people with this type of marketing. This device has outdated 2 years ago. It's built on same platform as 2,5-year old Redmi 3s 32, but cost more than that museum exhibit. The red price for this one is 100 euro. Real price is more like 80-90 euro. Company's January revenue has hit another historical bottom - just under $33 mln. And tha's revenue, not income.

  • Nokia phones/HMD Global has only put out one ‘high-end’ phone, the Nokia 8, and none offering the kind of performance the true flagships on the market can boast. Rather than headline-grabbing flagship features, Nokia’s success is the result of fusing a well-known brand with good build quality and decent specs in key components like the battery and camera.. And that’s where HTC’s strength can still lie. It’s hard to say how strong that heritage is now, given that half of the HTC's smartphone staff have moved to Google, but if enough remains of the engineering team and facilities, there’s still a chance that we’ll continue to see HTC phones on shelves in years to come.

  • HTC phones are undoubtedly brilliant, but they are not giving the right combination of features, they are confused about customers requirements. unless the give the right blend of features, they will loose all their markets. Not a single phone with the right blend of features except their high end devices like u12, u11.

  • That camera lens though...OCD

  • Seems like a decent entry-level smartphone, HTC actually created a decent phone in the cheaper end of the market. Price needs to be less than £140 if HTC really want it to sell.

  • why always HTC all devices makes internal memories 32-64 there is no variety

  • Palm phone is better than this!

  • htc, why r u wasting your time on such crap?????

  • Atleast processor could be at midrange like snapdragon 600 series with bigger battery, so atleast some people consider it. But with this specs it would be a worst design and worst battery phone ever from HTC

  • HTC is alive? looooooooool

  • Lol. Why do y'all care so much? "Bring back the old HTC" and stuff. Just how movies have filler, the same is this phone. This is just a low end phone meant only to raise a bit of budget for the upcoming flagship. Also, it looks quite cute with that weird quirky design, tbh.

  • This company is so desperate and getting crazy now, lets see whats going on. two different part of the body, did HTC learn from Google? by the way Google's design is already horrible, and HTC can top that, that is amazing

  • What's with that camera placement lmao. Dem HTC workers really trippin'

  • HTC, i'm still your fan too as many others. What i love is Dual Boomsound and Led notification. Let make M8 Great Again ! Keep dual boomsound and update finger sensor on the back. You'll comeback to your age again.

  • This isn't... Are you kidding?? I used to be a fan... I'm still a fan (not of this desire 12s crap) but we need forward movement not backward movement. Learn from past mistakes and upgrade.

  • HTC, please just give us an updated U11+ with 2019 specs. Easy money.

  • HTC..are you even trying anymore? Xperia is struggling, but at least they're giving all they got in order to stay in this world of mobile tech.

  • Hard to sell, other brand consider SD 636 to SD710 as mid range, even lenovo immediately update S5 Pro device from SD636 to SD660 so their model can catch-up to the latest chipset.

  • Another worst specs smartphone from HTC for 2019

  • maybe in concept it has 2 or 3 main camera, but it was canceled :v

  • is SD435 still capable for 2019?

  • Worst design ever !

  • the camera bump is not in middle position because the designer lost the scale when design this phone LOL. HTC you will die soon for your over priced phone with less features.

  • bad design,no 4k

  • my ocd is getting restless, htc !

  • HTC by this ... she want to die quicker

  • Over priced ! Your Losse hTC

  • HTC Grats SD435 for 200 euros with specs of 2016-2017.

  • Camera placement??? hahaha

  • It's like they're not losing money quickly enough so they release this.

  • Well actually they are going with the trend. Everyone is trying to offer the most crippled phone possible with the most ridiculous design possible.

  • Those camera placement is epic. Will bring an OCD to person who doesn't have OCD

  • Nice phone, but camera placement........ : (

  • Shit phone ever made by htc, they think smart phone users are idiot , go to the hell htc ,now you are most underrated company in the world

  • this will be my next phone

  • Are you kidding me?? I never have seen such a bad phone? 200 Eu????

  • HTC moving against the trend trying to give worst mobile with worst specifications

  • what sd 835?
