The Solely Factor actually holding the telephone again was that HTC apparently didn’t get the memo about 18:9 shows being all the fad in 2017. This 12 months, they appear to repair that. That’s if this unusual leak of the upcoming HTC U12 is any indication.

The telephone was Allegedly pictured at a 5G Industry Alliance event in Taiwan. HTC and a handful of their merchandise have been in attendance, together with a thriller system by no means earlier than seen in public. An try was made at hiding the system behind fastidiously positioned stickers however in response to @evleaks, was none aside from the HTC Imagine — aka HTC U12.

The solely factor we will even study from the system on show is that it’ll characteristic a show with a extra fashionable 18:9 side ratio and now not characteristic a fingerprint sensor on the entrance (seemingly on the again). We’re undecided after we may study extra concerning the telephone.

Although Mobile World Congress is kicking off later this month, to this point there’s been no main occasions deliberate. HTC often waits till a bit later in the 12 months to announce their flagships, solely after preliminary Samsung Galaxy buzz begins to wane.
