HTC has kicked off the midrange market with U12 Life. It's a
much more impressive offering than its predecessor, the HTC U11 Life. While
Motorola dominates the sub-$ 200 market and Huawei averages £ 300 +, the
situation is a little more difficult. Ignore retail prices of £ 299. If you're
looking for a SIM-free phone, the 30-second trivial task of joining the
"HTC Club" membership means a 10 percent cut to £ 269.10. At this
price it is a contender.
HTC made all the right design decisions here. This device is
larger (6 inches) than its predecessor and can accommodate a much larger
battery (about 40 percent). The HTC restores the 3.5mm audio jack and adds
stereo speakers. Instead of the Spartan Android One SKU on most U11 Life
variants, the U12 Life offers you an HTC Sense skin in addition to Android 8.1.
And HTC sounds pretty militant when he avoids the notch.
The prototype we tried seemed to be snappy. The U11 Life
camera lag was gone (no final production software, but still impressive). The
Snapdragon 660 is significantly more powerful than the Snapdragon 636 of the
U11 Life, while maintaining its meager power consumption. HTC claims it should
be capable of LTE browsing for 12 hours or 13 hours of uninterrupted video. My
experience with the same chip in the last year of the BlackBerry was that the
launch was good, but slowed under load. It certainly benefited from more RAM.
Here, HTC focuses on the only 4GB / 64GB SKU unit for most markets - and this
has a second hybrid slot for either Micro SD cards or a second SIM card.
When HTC traveled with Google, many engineers reached an
agreement last year, and Life was the first Android brand Android device to
reach the West. Here, HTC chose HTC Sense skin, but some unwelcome craftsmen
have been eliminated. Then say goodbye to the terrible news republic - we won't
miss you a bit. Great new blogs rarely have any reviews of the aging Sense
suite, but these apps provide more than just Google's basics. Oh, the button is
a real mechanical switch. The Edge Sense feature was abandoned because it made
it more expensive.
The back of the glass has a grooved surface, and the
“double-sided coating” in HTC Marketing indicates that it looks more expensive
and more attractive. This area will not always go up, which means that the area
around the fingerprint sensor will quickly get dirty, as you can see. Why does
HTC want to stay in such a ruthless, crazy market? Ok, as I hinted at the top
of the page, it's not easy to make a decision at a price of £200. Motorola
sells its "high-end" version of the very popular (correct) G6, but Huawei's
game is now aging Honor7x.
