HTC have decided to only release one flagship this year. There will not be a usual version and a plus version and an ultra version. It is the U12+ and that is it.
HTC have today announced that the HTC U12+ is now available for pre-sale from the HTC website. The U12+ will be available to Australians in only the Transparent Blue (which is not a bad thing as it is stunning in looks) for $1,199. Pre-orders will begin shipping by the end of July.
HTC are sweetening the pot for those pre-ordering with every pre-order receiving a free Harman Kardon Onyx Mini wireless speaker valued at $179 “while stocks last”.
The HTC U12+ is packed full of high end specs sporting a Snapdragon 845 processor, 6GB of RAM and 128GB of onboard storage. Included is a microSD slot that can also be used as a second SIM slot making the U12+ dual SIM – both SIMs are 4G. HTC have also included a dual rear camera which according to DxOMark is the highest rating dual camera smartphone on the market right now.
We’re still testing out a retail unit now after our review, which you can read here, if you’re ok with the early software that HTC says they’re working to fix, then head over and pre-order now.
