We know that LG and OnePlus are planning to unveil some new flagship Android phones soon, but rumors have said that HTC will launch a new flagship of its own soon, and today we may be getting a clear look at it.
New images that purportedly show the HTC U12+ have found their way online. Shared to an HTC Taiwan fan page on Facebook, the photos show a slab of a smartphone with dual rear cameras, a rear fingerprint reader, and dual front cameras. There are also what may be volume and power/lock buttons on the side of the device, and a USB-C port on the bottom. One thing that's missing? A 3.5mm headphone jack.
Also of note is that this device's design lines up with some alleged HTC U12+ images that leaked out earlier this year.
Past rumors have tipped the HTC U12+ to be a high-end phone that includes a 6-inch WQHD+ display — without a notch, it appears — Snapdragon 845 processor, and 6GB of RAM. It'll reportedly pack 16MP and 12MP rear cameras along with dual 8MP front cameras, too, with 64GB or 128GB of storage and a microSD card slot.
Rounding out the U12+'s rumored feature set is a 3,420mAh battery, Android 8.0 Oreo, and Edge Sense, an HTC feature that lets you perform actions by squeezing the sides of the device.
If these leaks hold true, the HTC U12+ looks like it could be a solid device. People that hate the notch will be happy to learn that it looks like HTC will be skipping that trend with the U12+, but the good news is that it'll also have premium specs like a Snapdragon 845 and 6GB of RAM. That alone doesn't guarantee that the HTC U12+ will be a success, though, as HTC also has to price its phone aggressively and have good availability. We'll have to wait for HTC's announcement for those details, but the good news is that that announcement could be near.
