HTC has finally unveiled the U12+, its newest flagship device. The handset is quite powerful and features 6GB of RAM, a Snapdragon 845 chipset and up to 128GB of internal storage.
However, the HTC U12+ isn’t the only 2018 device using Qualcomm’s fastest and most powerful currently available chipset.
Let’s take a look at how HTC’s premium handset stands up against Samsung’s Galaxy S9+ — the U12+’s main non-notched competitor — the OnePlus 6 and LG’s G7 ThinQ, other Snapdragon 845-powered smartphones.
