HTC recently showed off a new smartphone at a 5G event in Taiwan, and it's rumored to be none other than the upcoming HTC U12 flagship.
The phone sports a sleek design reminiscent of the HTC U11 Plus but little details are available at this point regarding its specs, price, or release date.
Purported HTC U12 Spotted At 5G Event
Considering that HTC typically launches new flagships in spring, claims that this smartphone is the HTC U12 doesn't seem too far-fetched. Images from the event show a sleek device that looks premium designed for the high-end segment of the smartphone market.
The showcased smartphone features a large display with ultra-thin bezels and an 18:9 aspect ratio, like other recent flagships from Samsung, LG, and more. The phone is reportedly codenamed "Imagine," and is expected to hit the market as the HTC U12.
The rest of the design remains a mystery as HTC wrapped the showcased smartphone in a protective case that covered all four corners, the top edge, and most of its rear panel. A piece of fabric also covered the top bezel, but it remains unclear what HTC was trying to hide there, perhaps a dual front camera setup?
Previous leaks have tried to paint a picture of what to expect, but this is the first time that the purported HTC U12 actually was actually caught on camera in the wild.
