Taiwanese smartphone manufacturer HTC will be unveiling the HTC U12+ flagship on May 23. As the date approaches, more details about the smartphone are being revealed. Reliable leaker Roland Quandt on his twitter handle @rquandt said that the device would be available in following colour options: Black, Red Rose, Violet, and Translucent, which is a semi-transparent black introduced with its predecessor U11+.
As for the specs, the smartphone features “Frameless display’ consisting a 6-inch WQHD LCD and will be powered by the Qualcomm 845 chipset couple with 64 GB internal storage. Roland Quandt also said that a 64 GB internal storage with Dual SIM would be available in Europe.
