HTC Desire 12+ review: A late-HTC mid-ranger with an 18:9 display and dual rear cameras.
A glimpse of late-era HTC.
Desire 12+ came as HTC's phone business was winding down — a budget 18:9 device with a clean Sense skin. The Snapdragon 450 and HD+ panel kept it slow, and support was thin. Mostly of interest now as an HTC footnote.
