Even when HTC’s division that created the Google Pixel has been acquired by Google, HTC is still making smartphones on their own. After a few months since that news broke, HTC is now back in the fray with their latest smartphone – the Desire 12 and Desire 12+.
HTC is also including all of the latest smartphone trends into the Desire 12 and Desire 12+, as it has the large 18:9 aspect ratio screen. With that in mind, the Desire 12 is has a 5.5-inch screen and the Desire 12+ has a 6-inch screen. With the 18:9 screen, the Desire 12 is actually considered “compact”.
Both of these phones have phase detection autofocus camera, whereas the Desire 12+ has dual-cameras that allows refocusing after the picture is taken. It’s actually using the stereoscopic dual-camera system as we’ve described here.
HTC Sense also returns to the Desire 12 and Desire 12+, with the addition of Sense companion. It can now improve your quality of life with Smart Alarms and Battery Saver which reminds you to power up before you leave your home.
As for the specs, here they are:
- HTC Desire 12
- 5.5-inch 18:9 aspect ratio with 720p resolution IPS LCD
- MediaTek MT6739 chipset with quad-core processor
- 3GB RAM
- 32GB storage
- 13MP rear-facing camera with PDAF, f/2.2 aperture and BSI sensor

- HTC Desire 12+
- 6-inch 18:9 aspect ratio with 720p resolution IPS LCD

- 32GB storage
- 13MP + 2MP rear-facing camera with PDAF, f/2.2 aperture and BSI sensor

The Desire 12 and Desire 12+ have acrylic glass back, and are available in Warm Silver and Cool Black, coming in April 2018. As for the price, we do not have any confirmation yet. Presumably, it’ll be under RM1k by looking at the specs. For what we can judge here, these specs are meant for an entry-to-mid range phone. Presumably within the RM699 range, if the consumers are even generous enough to pay for that price.
