HTC’s next flagship won’t arrive atMWC 2018, according to a report fromAndroid Headlines. The smartphone, possibly titled the HTCU12, will miss out on one of the world’s biggest electronics shows, which will also see the launch of theSamsung Galaxy S9and possibly theSony Xperia XZ Pro.
Android Headlines, who cites an inside source, said HTCwill instead launch the phone at its own event sometime later, likely in March or April.
HTC’s upcoming flagship could have been a good fit for the electronics show, given the amount of press coverage it generally receives. As theU11 arrived in Maylast year, however, it might be too early in the release cycle for the device to make an appearance.
HTC isspeculatedto reduce the number of phones it releases in 2018, and with its 2017 revenues being the company’sworst for 13 years, the company may choose to spend extra time developing its next flagship. Rumors regarding what the upcoming handset will offer have been conflicting but there was a suggestion that it wouldcome with a 4K display.
