If you've been wondering what will be the name of HTC's next flagship smartphone, we're happy to confirm the top-tier device expected to be introduced very soon is HTC U12+. The handset was recently spotted on the company's official website, but only briefly as HTC realized it made a blunder and decided to take it down.

But not before the media copy/pasted all the information about its specs and price. Firstly, the HTC U12+ will be available for purchase in China for the equivalent of $920, which is quite a lot considering we're talking about the Chinese market where smartphones are usually priced lower than the rest of the world.

The nearly $1,000 smartphone does come with 6GB RAM and 128GB internal memory, so HTC may launch cheaper versions with less memory inside. We've also been able to learn that HTC U12+ will feature IP68 rating, Boomsound speakers and microSD card slot for memory expansion (up to 2TB).

The U12+ will be powered by a 3,500 mAh battery and ships with Android Oreo on board. Other specs that have been confirmed include a powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 processor, a 6-inch Super LCD6 display with WQHD+ (1440 x 2880 pixels) resolution (no notch) and a dual-camera setup.

The smartphone is expected to be unveiled on May 23 and from what we've seen on HTC's official website, the U12+ will be available in three colors.
