HTC's future smartphone strategy has been rather up in the air ever since Google bought part of the phone division at HTC, including the team that worked on the Pixel phones. Now we've got some kind of clarity, for this year at least: the upcoming HTC U12 Plus will be the firm's only flagship of 2018.

That's according to "a trusted source" speaking to HTC Source. Apparently HTC wants to streamline its phone operations going forward, and has ditched the idea of revealing a second flagship around October or November (like the HTC U11 Plus).
