HTC Desire 12s

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.
