Your favorite YouTuber looks better in widescreen, your phone is a fashion statement, and your photos have to look amazingfor Instagram. Saudi Arabia’s digital-savvy population expects a lot from their smartphone, leading HTC to announce the local availability of two devices that deliver the goods without breaking the bank: the HTC Desire 12and the HTC Desire 12+.

 

Offering similar experiences in two different packages, the 5.5” HTC Desire 12 and the 6” HTC Desire 12+ are both surprisingly slim and comfortable to hold despite their impressive, 18:9 edge-to-edge screens. The HTC Desire 12 is on retail shelves now with the larger HTC Desire 12+ to be available in the first week of May. The HTC Desire 12 and HTC Desire 12+ are offered in Cool Black and Warm Silver, and will later be unveiled in an all-new signature Royal Gold color never seen on an HTC smartphone before. The HTC Desire 12 is available at a retail price of SAR729, while the HTC Desire 12+ will retail for SAR899. 

 

As a special offering for KSA consumers, those purchasing the HTC Desire 12 and HTC Desire 12+ will get a bundle of complimentary accessories across select retail channels, including a free screen protector, and transparent back cover. 

 

Consumers of either version of the HTC Desire 12 can look forward to enjoying:

• Big screen that’s easy to handle.More YouTube, richer gaming experiences, more immersive movies. A bigger and better viewing experience lets you enjoy the things you love while the swipe anywhere feature keeps everything you need just a thumb tap away.
• Hold on to special moments. Capture vivid photos, day or night, with the 13MP main camera, including Phase Detection Autofocus for extra clarity on the go. The HTC Desire 12+ even offers dual cameras, letting you refocus photos after the shot to add a gorgeous, artistic bokeh effect.
• Always looking out for you. HTC Sense Companion helps make life easier with Smart Alarms that intelligently respond to your calendar, Battery Saver to remind you to power up before you leave your home, and performance enhancements to clear junk files and free up valuable space.
• Inherent beauty with premium style. Paying tribute to the U11 series’ exquisite Liquid Surface,the HTC Desire 12 and HTC Desire 12+ incorporate a durable acrylic glass back surface with a new, streamlined look that will catch everyone’s eyes. The seamless frame and beautifully curved edges have a luxurious feel, and the dynamic colors add to your own unique style.
• All the space you desire. Each HTC Desire 12 model comes with three SIM and microSD card slots so that you can easily expand storage while still running multiple SIMs for all your social, browsing, and call requirements.
