HTC might be setting its plans ahead of Mobile World Congress 2017 (MWC) to unveil three new smartphones on January 12.

Apparently, this unveiling involves the new HTC U Play, previously codenamed as HTC Alpine, reports Tech Radar.

So far, available information indicates that the HTC U Play will have a 5.2-inch screen and no headphone jack.

Two higher tier devices is said to accompany the U Play, namely the HTC U Ultra, a 6-inch device previously codenamed HTC Ocean Note, and the HTC One X10.

The HTC One X10 was leaked last year and has been reported to have a 5.5-inch 1080p display, an octa-core chipset, 3GB of RAM, and a 13-megapixel camera.

HTC may be trying to one-up the competition in making a buzz for its products, but one thing’s for sure: January 12 is going to be an exciting day for HTC fans.  Alfred Bayle
