Upleaks was very active on Twitter, revealing information about a large number of devices that HTC plans to market during the year 2015, including the next flagship smartphone of the company, the "Hima", also known as the HTC One M9. Our leakeur also shared details on one of the two expected HTC midrange devices for next year, the A12 . Judging by its specifications, the device seems to be a replacement for the HTC Desire 610.

According upleaks, the smartphone will have a 4.7 inch screen with a 720p resolution (1280 x 720 pixels), a quad-core chip Qualcomm Snapdragon MSM8916 clocked at 410 1.2GHz coupled with 1GB of RAM. Besides this, the side of the picture we will have a camera of 8 megapixel rear camera and a front camera of 1.3 megapixel. The battery will in turn of 2100 mAh. While it is mentioned that the smartphone will come with Android 4.4 and Sense 6.0 KitKat as an overlay, it is hoped that the Taiwanese firm make every effort to push the latest version of the mobile operating system from Google, Android 5.0 Lollipop .
Device dimensions are 139.8 x 69.5 mm, and a thickness of 9.5 mm. The device is expected to be launched during the month of February next year.
Although upleaks does not mention anything about connectivity, it can be expected that the HTC A12 has a 4G LTE connectivity as recent HTC Android smartphones midrange. HTC has recently put pressure on low-cost LTE smartphones, and we can expect that the firm continues to grow in its 4G LTE smartphones on the market next year.
Regarding the specifications, they seem quite decent, but one can legitimately ask how HTC will position its smartphone, because on paper the specifications do not seem very different from what other Android manufacturers offer this year. What is strange is the 1.3 megapixel camera on the front. It's truly amazing after recently seen a wave of HTC smartphones midrange with a front camera of 5 megapixels. And, as mentioned earlier, Android 4.4 OS KitKat is also disappointing especially when we know that Android 5.0 Lollipop is available for three months now, and release a mid-range smartphone with Android 4.4 KitKat is not the best thing to do, in my opinion. Hopefully HTC decided to review its deployment strategy, pushing the update to Android 5.0 Lollipop shortly after the device is started.
