HTC U12 Manual Pdf and User Guide

HTC U12 Manual Pdf and User Guide. 2017 was a down year for HTC. First, the U11 and U Ultra were met by near-universal criticism. Later, Google purchased a large chunk of HTC's manufacturing division, leaving the Taiwanese company running with a skeleton crew after losing 2,000 key employees. But that's not stopping HTC — their flagship U12 is still on pace to make a debut in 2018.

On the bright side, HTC received a huge influx of money from the Google deal — about $1.1 billion, to be precise. With this extra capital and the relative success of late 2017's U11+, the U12 could start the processes of turning the tide for the once highly regarded smartphone company. Leaks are just starting to pour in, so we'll cover all the latest HTC U12 news below.

6" Bezel-Less QHD+ LCD Display

One of the biggest issues with the U11 and U Ultra was that they employed a 2016 screen design. While other OEMs moved to edge-to-edge displays, HTC opted for huge bezels and, in the case of the U Ultra, 2016's chipset. These decisions resulted in poor sales and limited carrier support. However, the success of the iterative U11+ and its edge-to-edge screen should be carried on into the new year with the U12.

Rumors indicate that HTC will be employing an all-screen design in the U12, competing for one of the highest screen-to-body ratios. These rumors are fueled by two sources. The first is a render by SuggestPhone which shows the front of the device. While the screen is dark, we can see that screen occupies the entire front with only a small bezel housing the camera.

Declaration and Release Date

While I couldn't completely decipher the Weibo spill, it would seem that the HTC U12 will either be reported or discharged in May. On the off chance that it's reported, expect a discharge at most a month later. Nonetheless, it is discharged at that point, at that point we could authoritatively learn of the new HTC lead by as ahead of schedule as late March. More than likely, this is the discharge date, as declarations can change and a year ago's model was discharged in May.

Android Oreo

While we'd seek this gadget would have picked after the Android 8.1 Oreo (the most recent rendition of Android), bits of gossip demonstrate this won't be the situation. Expect Sense 10 running over Android 8.0 Oreo.

In any case, dissimilar to a year ago's model, the U12 will dispatch with Android Oreo. This requires bolster for Project Treble, which should mean quicker refresh and better custom ROM improvement.

Face Unlock

According to LlabTooFeR, HTC will include face recognition technology in the U12 under the marketing name HTC Face Unlock. While nothing else was leaked, based on other OEMs and the lack of rumors, expect this technology to be more in line with the OnePlus 5 & 5T, which use the front-facing camera to provide quick (but insecure) face-based authentication. While it is possible that HTC will build their own technology that challenges the reliability and security of Apple's Face ID, the lack of rumors leads us to believe this won't be the case.

With the HTC U12, fans can be hopeful that HTC won't release another pair of subpar phones. How well it sells will largely depend on increasing customer awareness, but with the direction the company moved with the U11+, we can be sure the phone will better compete against the likes of Samsung and LG.

The rumors and news won't stop here, of course. As more information is revealed, we will continue to update this article to keep you informed. Are you excited about the HTC U12? Let us know in the comments below.
