HTC Desire 12 Plus – Full Specification Review and Price

HTC Desire 12 Plus is now officially the advanced version of the HTC Desire 12. This is coming after HTC’s CEO Chia-Lin Chang resigned last month after the company had a rough 2017.

The 12 Plus looks exactly like the Desire 12 with little upgrades internally and externally. It now houses a Qualcomm’s snapdragon chip instead of the Mediatek chip in its predecessor with a bigger display screen. Want to know more? Stay with me.

  1. The device is cool, and N60, 000 is not bad for the phone. but the only thing HTC need to improve on is the battery aspect, a lot need to be done on that. Asides from that, I like the brand.
