Performance and Software
Empowered by a Qualcomm MSM8940 Snapdragon 435 chipset, the HTC Desire 12s is adequate for basic and some moderate multitasking activities. The Octa-core 1.4 GHz Cortex-A53 CPU, coupled with an Adreno 505 GPU, ensures the device can handle standard applications smoothly, although it may face challenges with resource-heavy games and intensive processes. Running Android 8.1 Oreo out of the box, the software experience is clean and functional, though it lacks some of the latest features found in newer Android versions.
