The U11 is the latest flagship from Taiwanese
manufacturer HTC. Report says the phone is selling faster than its
predecessors, the HTC M9 and HTC 10, and AnTuTu named it the best performing
device for May 2017. Although HTC hasn’t said anything about a successor, we
have come across a HTC U12 concept design that looks quite interesting.
The HTC U12 concept doesn’t take design cues from
the U11. It is a completely different device. From the display, to the cameras,
and the overall design, it shares no resemblance to the U11. The HTC U12
features an infinity-like 5.7-inch 4K display with curved corners and thin
bezels at the top and bottom. The top bezel manages to squeeze in an earpiece
and dual 16MP cameras on the left. The bottom bezel’s only function is as a
banner for the HTC logo.
The rear of the HTC U12 is made of metal and not
reflective glass like the U11 and U Ultra. There are two cameras positioned
vertically in the middle of the phone with a dual led flash flanking them on
the right. There is no visible fingerprint scanner, so it is safe to assume
that Qualcomm’s under-display scanner is in use here.
The specs for the HTC U12 are not far fetched. A
Snapdragon 845 processor, 6GB of RAM, and 128GB of storage. There are JBL
speakers at the bottom but don’t expect an audio jack. Battery capacity isn’t
stated and we are not bothered since this is just a concept.
