![Motorola Edge+ (2022) Protective Case- Black Precision fit, Stylish Shock Absorbing Phone Cases [NOT for Edge+ 2020/Edge+ 2023, Edge 2021/Edge 5G UW 2021, & Edge 2022]](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51E8Uy-XvdL._AC_UL140_SR140,140_.jpg)
The U12+ beautiful phone that is very practical. I was surprised, though the screen is bigger than the U11's, there body of the phone is a little thinner and more comfortable to hold.
I found my favor for HTC after owning an M8 for two years, and enjoying the outstanding boom-sound speakers it had to offer, and then I made a terrible mistake and upgraded to a Samsung S7. I found favor with HTC phones because they don't put debilitating bloatware on your phone, the UI is clean and unobtrusive (change what you want), and build quality is superb. I especially have grown to appreciate the 3D sound feature, with the array of microphones all over their phones. As someone who spends a lot of time teaching music and working with a lot of pro live sound equipment, I have found this feature far superior to the mics on other phones. HTC has definitely taken some risks that made their phones unique.
The screen is LCD and not AMOLED, but to my eyes I don't notice a difference. The screen is beautiful and very sharp, a noticeable improvement over the U11. The rest of the phone is made of glass. I was a bit swayed when I first looked at the U11, but it is surprisingly durable. Truth is, most people would most likely use a protective case anyway, I chose the Spigen liquid crystal case for the U11, and it took a quite beating with no damage whatsoever.
Edge sense is AWESOME. I had the short squeeze programmed to turn on the camera, and the long squeeze set to turn on a flashlight, which I use frequently. It is nice to have both these functions readily available without having to search through the UI. Sadly double tap is very difficult to trigger without the liquid crystal case, and impossible with it on.
The buttons really aren't bad, since the phone updated. The power and volume buttons aren't really physical buttons, bit rather pressure-sensitive nubs that respond with haptic feedback. the power button actually responds better than it would with a physical button. The volume buttons take a little more getting used to, and I am still getting used to them, but they are very responsive and have given me no lag. Battery life was really heavily criticized by the pro reviews. I spent a lot of time with it my first 2 days just setting things up with the screen working heavily, and the lowest it got was 32%. Normal use, I ended my day at about 50%.
This phone is TOTALLY for tech heads. You'll like this phone if you like having total control over your device, and not having bloatware designed to nickel and dime you after you already shelled our $$$ for a phone. The speakers are great. They are a little lacking in Bass, but a nice improvement over the U11, and on par with the speakers of the S9 Plus. The USonic headphones are phenomenal. You can mow your lawn and tune out the world. Just expect to not notice when someone is screaming at you. So far this phone is extremely intuitive and I feel like it gets me.
My advice if you go with this phone:
The U12+ will not work with Sprint.
If you use AT&T give your phone to a tech in a brick and mortar store. Make sure to tell them it is a factory unlocked phone. So far, VoLTE works fine, but no Wi-Fi calling. I have heard contacting tier 2 tech support will hook everything up fine.
Spigen liquid crystal case protects it and shows off its unique appearance. This is the best case you can get for it, buttons will work perfectly, but the double tap doesn't (the shock protection of the case works a little too well).

Customer Review: Great phone if only the buttons worked.

Ignore the professional reviews, get a real perspective!
I have two cell phones, one for business and one for pleasure. I had an HTC Desire Eye and a Samsung Galaxy S5. They both came out in 2014. This phone is to replace my Galaxy because it's slow and it's battery is terrible. My Desire Eye is still going strong. All that explains why I was willing to go around ATT and buy an unlocked HTC phone instead of being shoved into another Samsung.Phone comes with its own protective case, and a set of high quality headphones.I read a lot of reviews about the U12+ before I received it. Camera got glowing reviews, it's fast, it's pretty, and it has a good amount of memory that can be expanded. Where it got slammed was the sense edge, the"buttons", the lack of headphone jack, and lack of wireless charging.I have to be honest, I have no idea what they were all complaining about! My volume up and down works seamlessly, same as a real button. The level and quality of sound is awesome. It comes with headphones, so why all the handwringing about lack of traditional jack? Also adapters exist. The power button is responsive, and I love that to turn on my screen, I can just use the scan fingerprint area to turn on and unlock in one touch. I added a screenshot button to my navigation bar, picture shown. So those complaining...how is that not easier/faster then holding down multiple buttons. Seems like a lot or reviewers didn't really try or read the help sections to find out all the awesome customization options. I have no regrets about this phone and I hope HTC stays around to make more phones so that when my 4 year old HTC finally dies I can invest in their newest offerings.
