According to an allegedly reliable leakster, HTC will outsource the production of its upcoming mid-ranger U12 Life (which may or may not be called differently). The leakster does not know who will HTC’s original design manufacturer be. As for the reason for the outsourcing, it probably has something to do with HTC’s recent financial problems; lets not forget that the company recently had to lay off a quarter of its Taiwanese employees.

By the way, the phone will probably have Android 8.1 Oreo on board.
