We got the best results outdoors with our subject well-lit in direct sunlight. We found that photos taken with the Bokeh mode contain a bit lower amount of details when taking Bokeh shots indoors. These are best captured when the subject is between 50 and 200 cm (between about 20 inches and 6.5 feet). The U12+'s second camera allows it to take portrait style "Bokeh" photos.

This low-light selfie doesn't look amazing, but it doesn't look half-bad either. The last sample above is a low-light selfie. If your scene is static, you can get some very nice-looking night-time photos with the U12+. Naturally, moving objects are far more prone to blurring in these lower-light conditions. In low-light, the HTC U12 does quite well, particularly when shooting with HDR Boost. 2X zoom works well in photos, but there is some more noticeable noise in the image, particularly in lower-light conditions. Now that the U12 has a dual camera, we can now perform 2X optical zoom while taking pictures or videos. HDR Boost does improve the imbalance, but if you'd rather not trust the camera for really drastic dynamic range shots, set the exposure manually by tapping on a focal point and sliding the exposure up or down. This being the case, we'd recommend permanently leaving this setting to Auto. Check the image comparison chart below so you can see the difference. In fact, shooting in HDR On, or HDR Off reduces the amount of resolved detail compared to the HDR Auto setting. Something that we've noticed with the U12 is that HDR Boost works best when it is set to "Auto". Dynamic range does appear to struggle in scenes where there's a lot of light in the sky behind the subject. HDR Boost works quite well and can really brighten darker areas or suppress highlights from blowing out the image. Otherwise, photos with a much deeper bokeh like the image of the little white daisy flower don't appear as processed. This seems to happen more when the camera sees an organic bokeh and HDR Boost is enabled.

What it looks like is happening is the post-image software is trying to reduce noise within the bokeh. In pictures that are more close-up, you can see the natural f/1.75 bokeh of the camera. There's also a strangely distinct texture within the phone's organic bokeh. There's a distinct texture that appears in these blurry people, but it's only noticeable when you really zoom in. Just keep in mind if you leave HDR Boost on at all times, you may encounter some blurring of people or objects that are in motion. Something we have noticed, however, is that the camera is quite dependent on HDR Boost.
#Ufocus htc u11 pro
This camera does offer a RAW shooting mode when you switch to the Pro for total control over the images you want to edit. Dynamic range is great and colors are true to life. Photos are generally warm in color temperature while details are excellent. We do believe that one of the cameras benefits from HDR Boost while the other does not. Like the U11 and U11+ did, the U12+ uses image stacking to process an image with HDR Boost with both the front and the rear cameras. We are also glad that the camera app offers a dedicated video viewfinder.

You can even save three sets of custom manual controls for using again at a later time.
#Ufocus htc u11 iso
Pro mode gives you control to white balance, ISO up to 800, shutter speed up to 32 seconds, and focus control. Additional camera modes are in the menu drawer and include Panorama, Pro, Video, Hyperlapse, and slow-motion. The camera UI has shortcuts for the video camera and portrait modes along with a beauty toggle, resolution chooser, flash, and HDR Boost. It uses dual-pixel autofocus like the U11+ and Samsung's Galaxy S9, but this new version brings the addition of laser-assisted autofocus. This new camera is HTC's UltraPixel 4 while the U11+ had UltraPixel 3. The front-camera also gets artificial bokeh selfies despite having neither OIS nor autofocus.

For some reason, it would only shoot 12MP photos despite its higher native resolution.

This second camera, of course, brings artificial bokeh and 2x optical zoom to the HTC Camera experience. The two main cameras are comprised of a 12MP wide camera with f/1.75 aperture and a 16MP camera with a telephoto lens and an aperture of f/2.6. This is also the first time that HTC puts a dual front-facing camera on its flagship for taking selfies with artificial bokeh. This is the first time HTC has put a dual camera on its flagship since 2014 on the HTC One M8. It even offered a not-so-convincing artificial blur-effect. The HTC One M8 had a separate depth sensor for adjusting focus after taking the shot. Although HTC's flagship went from having two cameras on the U11 to four on the U12, it isn't the first HTC flagship to have a dual camera setup.
