HTC U12 leaks again in alleged new hands-on photos

  • Newly leaked photos allegedly show off the upcoming HTC U12.
  • The photos appear to confirm many of the phone’s features, including two selfie cameras and more.
  • HTC will reportedly announce the U12 sometime in May.

With HTC priming the upcoming U12 to be a beast of a smartphone, alleged hands-on photos of the upcoming flagship look to have made their way to HTC Taiwan News’ Facebook profile.

Down to the two selfie cameras and two rear cameras, the photos seemingly line up with previous rumors. Even the dual LED flash unit, rear fingerprint sensor, and lack of a headphone jack line up with what we have seen and heard of the U12.

If you look closely at one of the pictures, the U12 looks to feature separated volume buttons on the same side as the ridged power button. You will also notice the tall display without the controversial notch.

However, we do not know whether the shiny exterior is due to HTC’s use of either glass or metal. The U11 Plus featured a glass back with brushed aluminum side walls, so it would make sense for the U12 to sport a similar design.

Based on previous reports, the U12 will feature a Snapdragon 845 chipset, 6GB of RAM, a 3,420mAh battery, and either 64GB or 128GB of storage.

New & upcoming Android phones (April 2018)

We saw plenty of new flagship smartphones from Samsung, Sony, and many other manufacturers at MWC 2018. Some of them are already up for pre-order. Others will go on sale soon. We still have quite …

The phone will also reportedly tout a 6-inch 18:9 LCD screen, along with Edge Sense for squeezing the device. In the camera department, the selfie cameras will reportedly be 8MP each, while the rear setup consists of a 16MP and 12MP pairing.

Finally, rumor has it that the U12 could be named the U12 Plus in order to better market the phone against the likes of the Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus and others with similar suffixes.

Details are lacking in regards to the U12’s release date, though reports peg an announcement sometime in May.

Removable batteries discussion

I have always preferred phones with removable batteries so far, thinking that it will most certainly be the first component in a device to fail. I have even advised people in my circles to do so, until a recent event. A family member of mine still uses a HTC DesireX. Recently, he wanted to replace his battery because of swelling. He bought two matching batteries from different sellers. The problem is, even though they were unopened/sealed packages of original batteries, they were not holding much charge. (I suppose they waited on a shelf for some time.) This made me question myself. In the past, I have used nokia smartphones, and they were easy to replace with fresh batteries, since almost all nokias used the same battery type. Now with android, its all over the place. Is it even worth it to go for a removable battery device when you cant find a replacement a couple of years after you purchase it? What do you think/prefer? PS. I realize this is not exactly fault of android OS, but ...
