Its main camera is 12MP (F/1.8, 1.4µm, with Dual Pixel PDAF) and the secondary camera is 16MP (F/2.6, 1.0µm). The camera also supports laser autofocus and phase detection, with a dual camera system on the front with the 8MP + 8MP configuration. The phone also supports 4K 60FPS video recording and 1080p 240FPS slow-motion video recording.

The HTC U12 Plus performs exceptionally well in decent light conditions and produce impressive pictures with a neutral white balance, wide color gamut with a bright, but not over-saturated quality. The HDR function is activated automatically when you need to shoot in darker areas. DxOMark also said that the autofocus of HTC U12 Plus is super fast and accurate, and the 2x zoom performance also manages to stand out.
Even though HTC U12 Plus got stellar ratings from DxOMark, it is not perfect. DxOMark said that compared with the Huawei P20 Pro, the dynamic range of the camera of HTC U12 Plus is limited. This is why that displeasing ‘film grain’ is visible in low-light environments. You can take great shots with the 2x zoom but when the zoom distance gets larger, you will obviously lose out on quality.
