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
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
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.
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 ?
Congratulations 2M Subscribers 😘👍
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..
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
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
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
Dammit HTC! You're breaking my heart! You will always be my first!
L E G O S T Y L E C O N N E C T O R S
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
Mithinti Mani Kanta Honor View 10 👍
That Banana phone was pretty good, right?
No heat gun needed for this phone 😂😂!
Jaishankar Iyer Just bend it
Stefan Prybil Like Beckham
I just love your video's and how you perform them! So chill to watch.
Awesome video Jerry, the quality just keeps getting better. Question why are flashes always underneath the plastic ?
Congratulations for 2 *MILLION* subscribers
Why Zack don't reply anymore?
JRE: The buttons are metal
*SCRREEEEEAATCHHHHHHH*
Me: 🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴
Me:( ╹▽╹ )
Always up for a Jerry Rig video... Such a nice, soothing voice :)
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-Wandering.Nafsi-Fighter
I am clumsy as well, I would drop my phone atleast onec a month
My phone one m8 still amazing perfamance
3:28 i actually love this guy😂😂
This was the most awaited video!!
Vishwadeep Sonawane just like me dude...then the phone fails
Mohamed Ansary est
Always classy, Zach. I appreciate everything you do. Best wishes
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.
You're the reason why am used in hearing *screeching sounds* 😊
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.
Congratulations for 2M subscribers
This guy makes some of the best youtube videos out there. Continue doing what you do!
You should do a water submerging test for phones claiming to be water resistant
Definitely check out the MI 8 Explore edition.
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
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
Wowaa the way the glass just slid off 🤣🙊🙊
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
Did you mean the Chinese iphone
Samsung is still better then apple and xiaomi
NRG \ Nerf Rashid Gaming lol Samsung is trash
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
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.
Its awesome Dual front camera 😁
The way he slipped the advertisement in is smoother than me sliding into my dm's
Congratz on the 2Mil Milestone 🤩😀❤👑💎👍👌🤘👑😀👑🤘💎😀😁😁
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
The annoying thing with audible it requires an amazon account which needs a credit card and i don't have either of those :(
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...)
2million subs .
Congratulation !!
*Oh yeah! 2 million subscribers! Congrats!*
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
When You're too Early Video is only 360p
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 😀
Great video! Do you plan to make a durability test and teardown with the Mi8 Explorer Edition in the future? I wonder if the transparent back cover shows us the real hardware inside or just some sticker\3D plastic cover.
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
Nice Segway!
I was waiting for you to do this
Lol, i love the sponsor transition so much I didn't even skip it like i normally would...
Oppo find x durability test plz... And with vivo nex
Please do a test with the xperia xz2 compact!
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.
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.
"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.
why it is only 360p ?
How much pressure are you applying to the phones when conducting the bend test?? While I do love your vids that has always been my curiosity as your hands shake while doing it.
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.
This is really disappointing to see :( been a HTC fan for a long time but i wont buy a phone from them anymore if the can break so easily its BS the should have just stayed with the build of the M7 and M10 this is a joke of a phone and that the buttons just came off like that is just a pure disgrace shame on you HTC....
TommyDDD and they sale it around 900$ 🤔
i know right pure BS like you pay so much money and you see this video and you see the button coming off that easily like what other phone has that even cheap phones that wont happen xD and the adhesive just so weak this phone is not near the worth of 900 not even 500 for that matter wtf is HTC doing...
Keep in mind that this test is to deliberately damage phones. Most of the damage that’ll be done to any phone will be accidental 🤷🏿♂️
At first it was disappointed to see the phone is not as much tough as HTC 10, but will you scratch and bend your phone with such force and Sharp tools? At least it still function and no glasses has been broken. You may say the buttons came off easily by Jerry's razer blade, remember his razer blade is very sharp, even can cut you through your meat. I preorderd this phone and got it few weeks ago. The button is quite tough and I believe it won't fall off while daily use.
if youre going to treat your phones like this, then you should stick to flip phones. any phone will last, get a case, no one is doing the extremes they do here.
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! ♥
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.
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!
*Jerry begins speaking with that creamy smooth voice*
“How did this erection get here?”
This was the most awaited video..
And now the ip68, is an ipNOTHING.
Hahahaha!
Love your videos. On point.
😅😅😅😅😅😅Update the browser for 1080p or higher!!😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
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!
the best dissection of the phone as always sir Jerry
So glad I went with the S9+. Short of an unfortunate drop when I first got it (now replaced) the thing hasn't let me down yet
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 :(
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. 😂😫
Love when you simple and formal and ha! IP nothing sounds alright
I could listen to your voice all day🙂
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
JerryRigEverything you are everything about tech
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.
Congratulations Bro 2 Million Subscribers
*From back , it looks like a* 🤖
Ill still buy till they die
*(THROWS MONEY AT SCREEN)*
💸💸💸
Smoothest ad transition ever...
The only way to have it any smoother would be to add wheels to it.
When are you gonna do the vivo nex and the oppo find x ? I'm pretty interested in the mechanisms of those moving parts.
360p? Umm what?
360p ???
Looks like a 2k15 video 360p 😂
I can confirm it's at least 1440p 60fps. Any Sony Xperia XZ premium users who can get it on 2160p?
I remember using the HTC one untill about 2017, probaly my favorite phone I've owned
Thanks for the video this channel is amazing
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
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
The test of course is good. But in my understanding it is far from life, from operation in normal conditions. I've personally no idea how to operate the smartphone came off to the touch of a button. Or in some cases, he will bend to back cover the back? It is not necessary in the back pocket of jeans to wear and everything ))). And thank you very much for the test. I had an HTC 62?, E 8, 10 all worthy apparatuses. Are planning to buy HTC U 12+. Just be careful to handle the phone, it's not a hammer..))
Wow! Could you please test the Huawei p8 lite 2017? ❤
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

Is the martian true story or not?
Jherilyn Racoma This is about a phone, not about movie.haha
Rishabh dev Tyagi theyre talking about the audible book that sponsored the video
its a 100% true story
It's 100% true that it's fiction. Get some education, man 🙄
It's 100% true, Zack went with Elon Musk and the guy from the martian to mars. They went back to earth because there was nothing on mars besides dust and rocks.
The telephoto lens has EIS correct? instead of the OIS on main camera lens?
Hey Jerry.
Maybe you should test Xiaomi phone again,especially redmi, they improved their material
Btw, U have nice haircut!
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
360p
You should do those metal frame scratches with an asmr microphone 😁
I love how he literally disassembled the whole phone without any effort!lol
