INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
HTC has unveiled the Desire 12 and 12 Plus, two phones that bring the new, longer 18:9 screen format at a lower cost.The Desire 12 has a
5.5-inch screen with less bezel around the side, and offers a single 13MP sensor on the rear of the phone, with an f/2.2 aperture
handling up to 2TB micro SD cards.Inside is a Mediatek quad-core CPU, which hints at a lower cost for the phone, as does the fact the HTC
Desire 12 screen is only a 5.5-inch HD panel.That means a resolution of 720 x 1440, and it's a long way from the QHD of the top-end
Samsung Galaxy S9, for instance.The HTC Desire 12 Plus pumps things up a little, and will clearly be the more expensive of the two, although
designed to give some background blur bokeh effects.It's a hint to the past here, where HTC was one of the first brands out there to bring
dual sensors to the market, with the HTC One M8 offering the same depth perception.The retro twist doesn't stop there on these phones, as
both will have a similar acrylic glass rear to the HTC U11, although stop short of using the same Liquid Glass technique that made those
phones look so stunning.The HTC Desire 12+ is also running a Qualcomm Snapdragon 450 CPU under the hood, with slightly more grunt being fed
Whether that's the reason the Desire 12 Plus is running Android Oreo and the smaller Desire 12 an unknown version of Android remains to be
seen, though.HTC has priced the Desire 12 at AED 729 while the Desire 12+ will go for AED 899
Both the phones will start hitting retail shelved in the first week of May
Color options include Cool Black and Warm Silver and an all-new signature Royal Gold color never seen on HTC device before, though that will
later be unveiled at a later stage.Both these phones will come equipped with HTC's decent Sense software, which brings a more professional
and premium experience to the mix, combined with the stronger build quality we still expect from the brand.3WUsGCusiCBqqpPTKRvX39.jpg#
