We will most likely hear from HTC about this phone at the next month’s CES trade fair.
To remind you, HTC U11+ is the company’s current flagship smartphone and was originally introduced in November this year. It features a 6-inch Super LCD 6 screen with Quad HD+ (2880x1440p) resolution. The phone is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 octa-core processor and packs 4GB/ 6GB of RAM and a 3930 mAh battery.
In more HTC news, the manufacturer is also said to be working on the HTC U12, which will succeed the U11+ and arrive sometime in 2018. The phone will reportedly feature a 4K screen, Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 octa-core processor and dual-lens rear camera.
This is not the first time we are hearing about the presence of a dual-camera in an HTC phone. The company’s president Chialin Chang had told the media at the U11+ launch event in Taipei last month that HTC is going to bring a dual-camera phone next year and they were looking on how to make the feature standout. HTC had used dual camera in its Evo 3D smartphone a few years ago to capture 3D images, but it is yet to offer a phone with dual-camera to capture normal photographs.
Given that HTC is losing a significant chunk of its engineering and design team to Google, the company is also planning to trim its overall smartphone portfolio. So, I don’t expect to see many new HTC phones in 2018.
