HTC U12+ in Flame Red Available for Pre-Order in North America, Still Costs $799

Tim August 17, 2018

In June during our full review, we determined that U12+ from HTC is a no go. It costs $800, had poor battery performance, janky buttons, and we aren't completely convinced that HTC is dedicated to still delivering timely updates to devices. Thanks to at least...
