HTC Desire 12 has been in news for quite some time, along with another HTC smartphone dubbed HTC U12, the successor to HTC U11. While previous rumours suggested that HTC will launch HTC U12, it was later reported that HTC U12 is unlikely to launch at MWC event, instead the HTC Desire 12 will be unveiled. In addition to the previously leaked specifications of HTC Desire 12, its price, availability and additional specification details have come to light, thanks to a retail box image that has surfaced online.
According to the retail box image that is claimed to have been obtained by Android Authority, the HTC Desire will come with mid-range specifications. The HTC Desire 12 will sport a quad-core MediaTek processor paired with 3GB of RAM with support for storage expandability up to 2TB. It will come with a 5.5-inch HD+ (720×1440 pixels) display and support for dual SIM cards (Nano).
