If you've been wondering what will be the name of
HTC's next flagship smartphone, we're happy to confirm the top-tier device
expected to be introduced very soon is HTC U12+. The handset was recently
spotted on the company's official website, but only briefly as HTC realized it
made a blunder and decided to take it down.
Firstly, the HTC U12+ will be available
for purchase in China for the equivalent of US$ 920, which is quite a lot
considering we're talking about the Chinese market where smartphones are
usually priced lower than the rest of the world.
The nearly US$ 1,000 smartphone does come with 6GB RAM
and 128GB internal memory, so HTC may launch cheaper versions with less memory
inside. We've also been able to learn that HTC U12+ will feature IP68 rating,
Boomsound speakers and microSD card slot for memory expansion (up to 2TB).
The U12+ will be powered by a 3,500 mAh battery and
ships with Android Oreo on board. Other specs that have been confirmed include
a powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 processor, a 6-inch Super LCD6 display with
WQHD+ (1440 x 2880 pixels) resolution (no notch) and a dual-camera setup.
The smartphone is expected to be unveiled on May 23
and from what we've seen on HTC's official website, the U12+ will be available
in three colors.
