With a price of $800, the phone’s not cheap by any stretch of the imagination.
On May 23, HTC properly unveiled the U12+ to the world. This is the company’s main flagship phone for 2018, and it comes equipped with a stunning design, powerful dual cameras, fast processing power, and a steep price tag of $800 with no plans to launch on U.S. carriers.

It’s certainly looking like it. A handful of AC forum users started talking about pre-orders for the phone and this is what they’ve had to say so far.

I like Apple, now Samsung and even OnePlus where they announce and thing is ready to ship within a week or two. Google is getting better with…

I think the biggest thing is people can’t try before they buy either at least as far as I know. I really wish their situation was better. This will probably be one of the most underrated phones of 2018.

it’s crazy there is no set launch date. No wonder htc is in financial trouble.
