HTC U12 Life review: Flagship features for £299? | Trusted Reviews

 

HTC U12 Life review: Has HTC turned a corner with its new budget offerings? The U12 Life, with its Pixel-like design and great battery life may suggest so.

Strong battery life ; Big, bright balanced screen ; No glaring weaknesses

Middling performance ; Underwhelming camera ; HTC Sense feels dated

A phone that holds more modest expectations compared to its flagship sibling, but at least it meets them.

HTC U12 Life review

 

Is there life in this phone?

Unusual design ; Big screen ; Reasonable price

Glass body feels more plastic ; Slow, unrefined HDR mode ; App loads slightly slower than rivals

It's not the very best phone at the price, but with its big screen and unusual finish the HTC U12 Life offers a useful alternative to the glut of glass-backed phones.

HTC U12 Life initial review: One seriously shiny mid-range phone

 

The sub-£300 mid-ranger brings a 6in screen, dual cameras and bigger battery capacity compared to its predecessor. Is it the affordable phone to buy?

HTC U12 Life review: HTC’s best mid-tier smartphone?

 

HTC tackles the mid-tier yet again, and the U12 Life might be HTC's best-priced smartphone yet

Stunning dual-finish design ; Long-lasting battery

Disappointing camera ; Blinkfeed is rubbish

When it comes to it, then, the HTC U12 Life is altogether a bit of a mixed bag. It doesn’t quite represent a cornerstone for the company, and ultimately fails to recapture former glories. Its design is quite lovely, battery life is fine and performance...

HTC U12 Life Smartphone Review

 

The perfect Bokeh. HTC positions the U12 Life as a smartphone with amazing camera effects to suit and satisfy everyone's artistic needs and wishes. In addition, it is also capable of 4K video recording, is supposed to feature a high-performance SoC,...

decent performance ; decent battery life ; skid-proof rear panel ; 3.5-mm headphone jack is back

mediocre camera ; lots of preloaded apps that cannot be uninstalled

Over the course of our tests and benchmarks the HTC U12 proved itself as a solid mid-range smartphone with a decent overall system performance capable of performing even demanding tasks without excessive and disruptive loading times. Speaker quality...
