After the launch of the HTC Desire 12 a few months ago, the company has now decided to launch the HTC Desire 12s smartphone in Taiwan. The smartphone comes with toned down specifications, and sees a slight shift in design as well. The HTC Desire 12s smartphone sports a traditional display with sufficient bezels on the top and bottom edges, a rear fingerprint scanner, a half-textured back panel for better gripping purposes, and a Qualcomm Snapdragon 435 processor.
The HTC Desire 12s has been priced in Taiwan at TWD 5,990 (roughly NGN 70,000) for the 3GB RAM + 32GB storage variant and TWD 6,990 (roughly NGN 82,000) for the 4GB RAM + 64GB storage variant. It has been made available in Black, Silver, and Red colour options. The Desire 12s, as mentioned, has sufficient bezels on top and bottom edge of the display. It sports a single camera setup at the front and back, and has a rear fingerprint scanner as well. The back panel sports a ribbed finish for better gripping. The power button is situated on the right edge while the volume button is housed on the left edge of the device.
