According to a report from Android Headlines, HTC’s upcoming flagship, which may or may not be called HTC U12, will not appear on the MWC 2018 electronics show. Android Headlines’ anonymous inside source instead believes that HTC will launch that phone during its own event in March or April.

Unfortunately for the American customers, only Life is officially available in the US. Fortunately for the American customers, they can get Plus or Eyes anyway! All they need to do is order one via Amazon. Of course there are downsides: phones’ prices are larger than if they were sold officially ($826 for U11 Plus and $614 for U11 Eyes), they do not have an US warranty and, perhaps most importantly, they ...

There must be more to this update than meets the eye, but so far we do not know what could it be. We will let you know when we learn more.Anyway, the update is available over the air, but it may be some time before it reaches your region. Remember to make sure that your phone is charged and connected to wi-fi before downloading ...

The render, coming from an unknown source, is in no way official, so take it with a grain of salt. It depicts the front side of U12 with very thin bezels. Since there is no room for fingerprint scanner on the front, it can be assumed it will be placed on the rear of the device. That is all. Other rumours, unrelated to this render, promise that U12 will come packing a 4K display and dual camera setup; some even say that there will be no fingerprint scanner at all. Tweet Vote on ...
