HTC has been all over the place the last few years... From winning the most durable smartphone award in 2016, to being last place in 2017... Will they fix the design flaws in the HTC U12 Plus to come back out on top again? The only way to find out is to put the HTC U12+ through the JerryRigEverything durability test. The HTC U12 plus is still using the same squeezeable sides as last years U11, and HTC has even taken it to the next level by removing the articulating buttons. There is no more clicks... just capacitive metal bumps along the side of the phone.
Do you think capactive buttons are the way of the future? I'm not too sure...

All I want is a Jerry rig shirt that says "deeper grooves at a level 7" with a dancing smart phone.
That would be amazing
I want the "little lego" version
laughing so hard
That's brilliant
Please make this happen
Dat sneaky Audible ad implementation tho!
COMBO money talks!
though
"thank you to audible for sponsoring this video" proceeds to do the burn test on the audible logo
I hate more the scratching of the metal frame than the ad.
HTC was tech leader a decade ago, now it's dying to compete with other giants especially chinese brands swarming the market nowadays. HTC never makes crap phones but the marketing is unquestionably bad
yeh marketing is bad.
but who is the manufacturer of Google Pixel? LG tried to make Pixel 2XL, but they &$@ed up.
Eri Airlangga it was also good 5 years ago
They started making bad tacky phones a while ago and lost all of its respect.
You said that in one of the unboxing channel videos
The way to Jerry's heart a clear phone with a headphone jack
And can survive the flame test
And bend test and scratch test
And a sapphire screen
And an expandable memory SD card slot
And now: an ultrasonic fingerprint sensor
I'm not surprised this is put together like it is. HTC hasn't impressed in a long time.
cant believe after 2 years there is no reply and barely any like
@@ajemajh he didn't have that many subs at that time unfortunately
That is no buttons at all
indentifying the weekness in the side button was a smart move Zack. No one would have known about it unless you pointed it out. CHeers Boss!!
I would've assumed they are part of the aluminium unibody...
santhoshferrari damn you idiots !!!!!
Cut the buttons off, then say "they can fall off" 😂 get real. Please try to drop that phone as many times as you want and i am 100% that the buttons will never come of.
@@d.x.1152 why would dropping the phone ever make the buttons drop, if they come of like that it means the adhesive might weaken over time do you only drop phone ? Or do you use them ?
@@d.x.1152 did you copy the comment right below yours ?
Use some flex seal to repair all that damage after you tested it. It'll be as good as new!
k lols
Justin Y. You again don't you have any other thing to do????
True, he is everywhere.
Use flex tape ha dude?
omg its you again, i see your comments on every video i watch
The scratching sound is Horrible😥
Why the fuck is he keeps doing that shit thats why I am not watching his videos
@@krkrbbr It's good to know the material the sides are made out of and the material coating the metal. Although it does suck for the sound to be "120 hurts your ears" sensitivity, to quote Jerry.
You are not a true jerry rig fan
You’ll get used to it. 👍🏼
no
HTC were known for their build quality and their Metal designs which Apple still pays them for, I don't understand why change when you're so Iconic..
Congratulations 2M Subscribers 😘👍

I have a drinking game where I drink every time there's a Zach-ism. That is one of them.
Then which mobile best you give an advice for me please because i want to buy a mobile
Mithinti Mani Kanta u12 plus

That Banana phone was pretty good, right?
Congratulations for 2 *MILLION* subscribers
Why Zack don't reply anymore?
No heat gun needed for this phone 😂😂!
Jaishankar Iyer Just bend it
Stefan Prybil Like Beckham
Still rocking mine, by choice, after two years. It keeps up nicely my iPhone 11, which I gave to one of my kids because I like the U12+ better.
The buttons are like magic and are a delight to use... sometimes I click them in my pocket for that nice haptic snap. The buttons on my computer monitor are fussy, the volume buttons on my LG failed, the power button on my HTC M8 sticks and resets the phone, and I have three power amps that I've had to replace the mechanical switches on. I'm happy to know that my U12+ buttons will never wear out, and that the HTC USonic earbuds sound better than anything Samsung has ever made.
My phone company kept bugging me about a new phone, but the U12+ is such a reliable delight to use that I spent $1,500 on an e-bike instead. Happy days!
MO POWA BABY
Love what you do. We live in Salt Lake and all my friends are always talking about your vidz. I've been subed for a LONG while but your vidz never show in my "news feed" or "what they think I like video option area"... i'm not sure what to call it. I'll just ring the damn bell so I can get notified when you upload. Keep making amazing content!!
Actually I just checked and somehow I wasn't subbed.
That's... rude
Khairul Ridha how is that rude
JRE: The buttons are metal
*SCRREEEEEAATCHHHHHHH*
Me: 🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴
Me:( ╹▽╹ )
The HTC One M7 was an amazing phone!
still have mine in a drawer somewhere.
My First Smartphone i used to challenge anyone with smartphone if they can toss it on concrete floor , no one took up and i always threw it and it came back without any damage other than scratch . But unfortunately build quality has gone downhill from then on in case of HTC . I really wanted to like it but these kind of flaws makes them harder to like
@@prabeeshraman6141 man you crazy lololol..... I never challenged any1 to a drop test , but being as clumsy as i am , I dropped that badboy plenty of times... People often asked if i even wanted the phoneor if it was still funtional ... thats why i bought the 10 as a new phone
@@Mind-Wanderer01
I am clumsy as well, I would drop my phone atleast onec a month
My phone one m8 still amazing perfamance
Nice Segway!
Dammit HTC! You're breaking my heart! You will always be my first!
Been using U12+ for a few weeks. Buttons are different to normal buttons but works close to 100%. They r quite durable unless razor blade comes in of course. The ph feels solid and without given consecutive pressure which usually don't happen in real life usage, I doubt its back will be removable. So yes, first try using it and you will know how good it feels.
Im thinking about getting the U12. Currently got the U11 would you say its worth it or get something else.
You're the reason why am used in hearing *screeching sounds* 😊
Definitely check the Xiaomi mi 8 explorer next. There's debates that the transparent back isn't actually transparent but the company claims that it is transparent
you're wrong. It has the false hardware layer inside. And Xiaomi confirmed it.
Link? I wanna read it
NRG \ Nerf Rashid Gaming lol Samsung is trash
Xiaomi? You mean the company good at copying? The explore version copied the idea of HTC U11+ and HTC U12+. And way more shame is that the phone is not translucent, it's actually just a snapdragon chip and some looking-alike translucent print on the back.
apparently making a transparent back is somehow patented or copying righted? lol gg logic
Can you PLEASE do a video of the OPPO FIND X. Being an engineering enthusiast, I really want one. Before that, I want to see its DURABILITY, REPAIRABILITY, and, of course, how the SLIDING MECHANISM WORKS.
PLEASE!
PLEEEASEEEE!!
PLLEEEEEEASEEEEEEE!!
PLEEEEEEEEEAASSSEEEEEE!!
Uhm.... Thank you and good video.
he did do one
Been using my htc u11 for almost 2 years and absolutely loving it, it's super reliable and performance is excellent like the first day I got it and it has never given me any problems at all not even a frozen screen.
Using this phone for one year now, it's a resistant phone actually, I also give it a cold water wash after going to run once in a while when I take it with me and I can say it is still like new. One of my favorite phones ever! And the sound it captures while recording is amazing. I have two videos that you can listen to the sound quality in my RUclips
Everyone here is talking about taking their Mercedes on the battlefield.......any phone will loose it's waterproofing capability after going through these tests.
I support HTC for their hard work and creativity and also for their premium quality. They're always trying something new. Though Apple and Samsung are big giants, they can only bit HTC in marketing and nothing else. Don't know why people follow youtubers blindly...
Exactly
If you call flex, a slow processor and to place it on top, an ugly design- ill call that hard work
Now i dont admire apple, but they have they’re quality’s. They have the fastest chipset in a phone, the ability to mix software with hardware and there ability to make phones Look quite beautiful.
If you want budget- youve got the oneplus series which has properly done phones and really make you question why you blindly follow htc like a moth following light
Maybe they will inivate- maybe...
Epic Ab ikr lmfao
@@epicab2456 loving my note 9, only bought it on sale tho, 1000 plus dollars for a phone is way too much
I'm so glad I jumped off the HTC wagon after my HTC 10 and went to the Samsung Note 8! Looks like HTC continues to disappoint. Ran across my old HTC 10 the other day only to find the display was bowing out massively! Looks like the battery expanded and separated the glass from the aluminum casing. 😢. After years of being an HTC fan boy, I'm so glad to report that the move to the Samsung Note 8 couldn't have happened at a better time. I am 110% satisfied with my Note 8 and thanks to Jerry, I didn't make the mistake of getting another HTC! Thanx Jerry! ♥
The way he slipped the advertisement in is smoother than me sliding into my dm's
This was the most awaited video!!
Vishwadeep Sonawane just like me dude...then the phone fails
Mohamed Ansary est
3:28 i actually love this guy😂😂
I'd rather have a removable battery than water proofing
same here. I do not care for a water proof phone, since you should keep your phone safe to begin with.
TheKHfan358over3d exactly my point
galaxy s 5 was waterproof with removable battery
was the case detachable?
Lol I am named Noel too. Btw no phone is waterproof, some are water-resistant with IPS 67 or so but none is waterproof
Good to see you've already reached more than 2 million people 👍🏼
But not forget the people with a modest budget... Could you do the bend test on a Huawei p20 lite?
Thanks
God bless you all 😀
Awesome video Jerry, the quality just keeps getting better. Question why are flashes always underneath the plastic ?
Wowaa the way the glass just slid off 🤣🙊🙊
The annoying thing with audible it requires an amazon account which needs a credit card and i don't have either of those :(
why it is only 360p ?
After my HTC u ultra, I'll never own a HTC again. I had the m9, m7 and the inspire, I was a huge HTC fan. But after the poor battery life and extremely slow charging of the u ultra I went with a huawei mate 10 pro and will never look bad at HTC.
Thanks for making this video, it really sets my decision in stone.
Smoothest ad transition ever...
The only way to have it any smoother would be to add wheels to it.
"If a company makes a transparent phone, it's pretty mandatory that I take a look at it."
What about HTC U19e? It can be ordered and shipped.
360p squad here?
Is it because we are too early?
K K can you stop comenting on every coment that says 360p
No.
holy shit you are crazy
God damn, I wish this thing was carried on sprint! T-MOBLIE AND SPRINT! YOU BETTER MERGE SOON!!!!
(I know it's probably gonna happen about 2020...)
the best dissection of the phone as always sir Jerry
I just love your video's and how you perform them! So chill to watch.
When You're too Early Video is only 360p
Definitely check out the MI 8 Explore edition.
Watching on my 128 GB Translucent blue U12+ 😎
Watching on my Ceramic Black U12+ 😈 What you love most bout it so far..? 🙂
Watching on my 128 GB black U11+. 😁
David hunsinger watching it on my Nokia 3310 ❤️👌🏻😩😎
Sadly watching this on the solar red 11+ that gets no security updates.
64gb translucent blue here tho!
I checked out your channel everyday for durability tests. I love them!
Edit 1: I have a phone that is on your shelf of shame. Yep, it's a honor 6x
Passed💪
At least there is no shattering of the screen (unlike the u11).
The only bad thing is, that the buttons go off easily.
That the back goes off easily, is not that important. If that happens, you can simply stick it back on with good Smatphone adhesive tapes for back panels.
By the way great content 👍
I should have watched your Video about the U11, before i buyed it. The smartphone bended and the screen shattered after only a week.
HTC 10 owner and still going strong! Built like a brick
The last durable one they made!!! Only the M9 and M8 were better!!! The new ones suck!
I've dropped my HTC 10 sooo many times, and The only crack was when it fell out of my pocket while I was jumping over my cat on my driveway 😂, and it's a tiny crack that I don't even notice. It's a shame the lock button is struggling to work these days, so I'll have to upgrade :(
Its awesome Dual front camera 😁
This definitely happens when u really want ur phones to be a bit weak!
Was aa bit sad about that glass coming out tho....
I love their products coz they age like wine
good software support too!
Lol, i love the sponsor transition so much I didn't even skip it like i normally would...
Who else watches his videos to fall asleep? Not boring by any means, quite the opposite actually, but his voice puts me right to sleep.
360p here
Is it because we are too early?
Idk me too
MrTrdsmi I can't really tell, my shitty phone's display is 360p. 😂😫
Ill still buy till they die
*(THROWS MONEY AT SCREEN)*
💸💸💸
*Jerry begins speaking with that creamy smooth voice*
“How did this erection get here?”
It seriously feels like tech companies hire someone to watch your videos to determine what they can improve on in the next generation of phones. I, for one, love your videos and always look out for your videos before I purchase phones.
I have been on HTC Phones forever. I'm going to update my second 10 to an 11. Wait for the next iteration after 12.
😅😅😅😅😅😅Update the browser for 1080p or higher!!😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
360p? Umm what?
360p ???
So many are talking poorly about HTC but do not even know that they've built all the Pixel Phones except for the Pixel 2XL which had display problems. Pixel Phones are basicly HTC Phones with a different name.
HTC is an incredibly good brand and the mother of Android smartphones.
love you videos always jerry ! i have a suggestion do you think you can add some water testing ? it's going to be very useful.
Please do a test with the xperia xz2 compact!
Ouch.... HTC is going down and down... What the heck?
Bob Martin atleast it doesnt have a notch, plus 4 cameras, and flagship performance
Well... if you have to say "at least" about a smartphone, it's clear that the phone is for a comformist person. We have too many other options.
HTC is not offering a great product... plus, they removed the jack just like they are a top selling brand.
oh come on dude, dont be like that, you re not some billionaire so you are comformist in every aspect of your life, so dont be like that. I loved HTC phones and I will stay loyal to them, we will see how that will pan out
nemanjamanutd You're a loyal Fan. You won't see any wrong on them. Htc is Not doing a good job. Sorry.
well i had two of their models and those phones were absolute tanks, they remind me of my old Nokia. As for other flaws you people find, I just dont see them that way, I take care of my stuff , I rarely break or tear something, not even clothes or shoes, every tech thing that i broke was due to me smashing it intensively .So this phone being not as tough as phones before it, it is fine, I will take care of it, no buttons might be a problem but as the dude in the video said, you aint gonna smash the phone on the ground or throw it ,so as long as you take care of it, they will work fine. Lack of 3.5mm jack is kinda bad,cuz if you break HTC issued headphones , you will have to buy exact same new ones but the thing is, my old HTC worked best and produced best sound with it;s original headphones and i like music very much and listen to it quite a lot, so buying pair of headphones in a year or two wont be a problem really. I honestly dont see anything else at fault here
Why the video quality is not going to above 360p??
priyanshu VAISH I can't really tell, my shitty phone's display is 360p. 😂😫
Gaurav G. Which phone did you use in 2018??? 360p 😂
Your phone does not support more than this
Shadow Harod to whom you were telling?
priyanshu VAISH i can watch it at 1080p60
2million subs .
Congratulation !!
This guy makes some of the best youtube videos out there. Continue doing what you do!
*From back , it looks like a* 🤖
360p squad
Krutarth Suthar ya that's true no idea y Zack didn't make 1080 video
Is it because we are too early?
144p🤷🏻♀️😜👌
Im 720
Me too. if you are too early you have to wait a bit.
jesus christ, an almost 1000 $ phone that has weak buttons and back cover that is so easy to be removed - this is not good, for that kind of money, expectations should be very high!
Plus you never own this phone and it is not that weak
No thank you, that's way Jerry's channel helps me to choose the perfect phone dude, as i said for 1000 $/Euro tag price, my expectations as consumer are very high. And for your own information i own an older Lumia 830, 950 XL, HUAWEI Mate 9 and an SAMSUNG S8+. Have a nice day. :)
I pity htc for what they did to htc u12+,I am no longer their customer I will switch to Sony next year,typing this on my u11
Florin E Ionescu ceau românule
ceau și ție...
I have the u12. I love it. What is your daily driver? Thanks BTW now I know what to do. Soon as I got it from pre-order slapped a case on it. I had HTC since the incredible. I must admit that buffer layer worked my u11 crumbled. The 10 never a problem.
Also, to be fair, a phone failing the bend test does not mean it won't be durable in real life usage. The m9 failed the bend test, but I have never had an issue with its durability (I drop phones a lot, even on concrete). One thing that's does matter is the circuit design. No matter now strong a phone is, it WILL flex, the circuits have to be designed to withstand that flexing, otherwise the phone will have components fail without any perceivable on its exterior. All my family members use iPhones, and I've seen the iPhone 6 plus and iPhone 7 (also quite tanky phones, at least on the outside) fail due to flex based damage, and my family members are usually very careful with their phones. But that's just from my personal experience.
A smartphone without an earphone jack is not smart at all.
360p
Congratulations for 2M subscribers
Now, IP68 Becomes "IP nothing"
Made my day.
max 360p?????
Pradyumna Kulkarni I can't really tell, my shitty phone's display is 360p. 😂😫
Gaurav G. Never Demean your phone..... It was new and advanced when it got released......
Pradyumna Kulkarni it because u watched the video when it got released. (I mean within 5 min)
Pradyumna Kulkarni I can watch it at 1080p60

I'd rather have durability than squeeze and capacitive buttons. Didn't know HTC makes phones this delicate.
Always up for a Jerry Rig video... Such a nice, soothing voice :)
HTC phones are not for durability I guess
No, except for the HTC 10, I guess. That one has been an absolute tank for me.
Tom Hsia And M7
Barnay the butterfly series are also tanks. For me at least. Too bad they stopped making those. The butterfly s I owned had high-quality platic back panel with the option for a slew of stylish colours, stereo front speakers, all glass front with curved edges, ridiculously good battery life, and comically tough build. My dad threw it once, quite hard too, and it came out nearly unscathed ( a few scratches on the back, and a tiny one in the corner of the sceen. The phone fell out of my pocket when I was riding on a moped, it hit the concrete. That finally cracked the screen. I never got to get it repaired. (it's still functional)
Older HTC phones were tanks, like the M7
Hey buddy
JITHU J hey buddy how are you
You're first!
*jaja*
The sound of a razor blade meeting metal is just music to my ears
I remember using the HTC one untill about 2017, probaly my favorite phone I've owned
So you cut the buttons off, then say "they can fall off" 😂 get real
Lol get some sense
He literally said he douts it will happen
And wont happen in normal use
It's the same point in the S9 Note video. Work at them and they will come out, though it's unlikely it'll happen one day you're changing the volume.
Really he just peeled them off from the phone, you could do the same thing (most likely) absentmindedly pulling on the buttons some day.
Hello fraands ! Chai pee loo .
Bas Kya rulayega pagle??
This video is clearly just for NEGATIVE points, and its clear you got no ideea about HTC phones. A video like this should be 50% good things and 50% bad things but the bad things should be those that will happen in real life. Please try to drop that phone as many times as you want and i am 100% that the buttons will never come of. So my rating for your review is 3 of a maximum of 10 points... GAME OVER!
He treats all phones the same. He did not do anything to the HTC that he hasn't done to any other brand. Phones that cost less, phones that cost over $1,000.
The iPad pro he tested, crumpled, became instant junk.
His tests are valid.
dude chill it is a video trying to find durability flaws thats what this channel does
I love how he literally disassembled the whole phone without any effort!lol
I could listen to your voice all day🙂
good to see you keep doing these things. I cannot do more than encourage
though it cost you a lot of $ to break phones, you always do what you love to. Appreciate +10
Ive had the u12 since I pre-ordered it it's a fast and basses phone. It's never gave me any problems at all
You should do a water submerging test for phones claiming to be water resistant
EVERY RUclipsr ends up focused on money only. Jerry is no different, you had an amazing channel which is why you gained do many viewers, but now you're just a channel full of ads, ads, ads, ads, I wish there was still a RUclipsr that enjoyed making videos, but now it's all about the money, I enjoyed your channel when it was alive, rip, wish you didn't give it up
Aloha and mahalo for the video!!! I just ordered one and I'm looking forward in doing my own stress test. I hope though it will be long term testing and not as aggressive and over the top as your video. Ha!!! All the best.
JerryRigEverything is the most durable RUclips channel ever 💪
I was waiting for you to do this
HTC quality control has been horrific since the M9. The M8 was the truly the last good device they put out. It's a shame as I loved the old HTC phone like the M7,M8,One S and even the Evo 3d was quirky (but just a fad)
RIP HTC 2018
Dude I don't mind seeing you testing scraping the metal. Can you try to lower the volume when editing the video it dos bother the ears. Thank you and keep up the good work brother.
I remember how HTC fans were claiming "pressure sensitive buttons are more rigid and durable than the mechanical ones"... Now you know that's definitely not the case here!
