Last week, it was reported that along with HTC U12 with 18:9 aspect ratio display, the company could also be working on a budget model with similar design — HTC Desire 12.

As it turns out, the company is indeed working on the HTC Desire 12. A retail box of the phone has been leaked, which also confirms the phone’s key specifications.

According to the leaked retail box, the HTC Desire 12 will come with a 5.5-inch display having screen resolution of 1440 x 720 pixels. It will be powered by 64-bit quad-core chipset from MediaTek along with 3GB RAM and 32GB internal storage.

The phone will also have a microSD card slot which will enable users to further expand the phone’s storage capacity. As of the camera department, the phone will feature a 12-megapixel rear-facing camera that can shoot 1080p Full-HD videos. There will a 5-megapixel front-facing camera for taking selfies and video calling.

The dual SIM phone will be powered by a 2,730mAh battery. As of now, there is no information available regarding the software but we hope it runs Android Oreo operating system out-of-the-box. Connectivity options on the device include 4G LTE, Wi-Fi a/b/g/n, Bluetooth and GPS.

While most manufacturers have come out with devices featuring 18:9 aspect ratio display, HTC is yet to embrace this new trend. However, HTC is all set to jump the full-screen bandwagon with HTC U12 — the company’s upcoming flagship phone. This phone, which is codenamed HTC Breeze, will bring the full-screen display feature to the company’s entry-level and mid-range lineup.

HTC is set to join the 18:9 full-screen trend with the HTC U12 but apart from the flagship U12, the company is also working on a budget model with such design. According to popular tipster Evan Blass earlier this month, HTC will launch a new entry-level model soon which goes by the codename Breeze. The tipster had revealed the specs of the device back then but didn’t mention the moniker it would adopt at launch. Evan Blass has now revealed in a new tweet that the entry-level device will be called HTC Desire 12.

The most notable feature of the HTC Breeze is the full-screen design it brings to entry-level models. The device is said to pack a 5.5-inch display with an 18:9 aspect ratio. The device is also expected to pack a MediaTek System-on-Chip backed by 2GB of RAM while there will be 16GB of internal storage.

The device is also expected to come at an affordable price which would reflect its budget specs. No word yet on when the Desire 12 would hit the market.

From the look of things, HTC doesn’t seem to be working on a flagship at the moment. First, it kicked off the year with the launch of the upper-mid range HTC U11 Eyes. Just a few days ago, another mid-range HTC phone, this time powered by the Snapdragon 625, was seen on Geekbench. Today, specs of an entry level phone codenamed HTC Breeze has been leaked online by Evan Blass.

According to @evleaks, the phone’s promising feature is its 5.5” 18:9 aspect ratio. The HTC Breeze will be powered by an unnamed MediaTek processor, have 2GB of RAM, and 16GB of storage.

Its rear camera is said to be a 13MP sensor while a 5MP sensor graces the front. It will also pack a 2730mAh non-removable battery. While he doesn’t mention the version of Android, we expect it to be Android 8.0 Oreo.

There is no info regarding the design of the HTC Breeze and what name it will be called. Nevertheless, we won’t be surprised if it features the same double glass design as previous releases and also bears the “U” name.

We don’t think HTC’s decision to release an entry-level smartphone is a bad idea but what we hope for is a price that matches the specs of the phone.
