DESIGN
Made completely from Aluminum Alloy, the Desire 12 was designed to perfection and glows in the presence of light. Sporting curved sides and edges that should be quite comfortable to hold and flaunt. The rear camera and LED flash are horizontal at the top left corner.
Disappointingly, it has no fingerprint scanner, which is a huge let down for a midrange smartphone. Measuring 8.2mm in thickness and weighing just 137g overall, making it really light. You can get the smartphone in Black, Gold and Purple colours.
DISPLAY
The Desire 12 is bezel-less and flows with the current 18:9 aspect ratio trend. There’s no fingerprint scanner anywhere at the front which is just utterly disheartening, to say the least. Nonetheless, it has no narrow bezels, just super minimal top and bottom bezel.
The 5.5-inch HD+ IPS LCD capacitive touchscreen has a resolution of 1440 x 720 pixels and 293 pixels per inch density for clear and sharp visuals. The screen also has full lamination and stretches up to 74.2% screen to body ratio.

Record Full HD videos of 1080 pixels at 30 frames per second. The 5MP selfie camera has f/2.4 aperture and 1.12µm pixel size for cute selfies.
