HTC surprised us with the Desire 12S that landed out of nowhere and launched without any hint. Looking the renders of this phone it seems that this phone is following the lead of U12 Life that's why HTC Desire 12S's design is quite identical to that smartphone. Talk of the town is this that the camera placement on the backside of the phone is unorthodox and camera on backside of HTC Desire 12S is missing the center point and placed just away from the middle of the phone. Well as you can see camera is placed just in middle but Desire 12S's LED flash is placed away from the center which is often happen in the most of the devices but here what seems to be a problem is this that both camera and the LED flash of HTC's Desire 12S shares the same bump which is causing trouble and gives you feeling that back camera of this phone is placed away from the center. Just below the camera of Desire 12S by HTC you will get the fingerprint scanner so from now on it seems that camera will be moved to on the backside in the entry level devices just like what we saw in HTC Desire's 12S. IPS LCD display is used in this device and bezels on the sides are reduced while on top and bottom bezels of this device is also fair for the given price range of HTC 12S. 5.7 inch display and Qualcomm Snapdragon 435 chip are the highlighted specifications of this new device where its 32 GB internal storage is enough to store data. HTC Desire 12S got 3GB RAM which is enough to play moderate graphics game without any trouble. So is this phone is good enough to beat the Samsung?
