HTC just announced the new HTC One A9 that is the first non-Nexus smartphone to launch with the latest Android 6.0 Marshmallow OS and is a slightly lower tier model to the HTC One M9 which is expected to have a lower price tag as well. Packed with the newest features of Android 6.0 Marshmallow with HTC Sense on the inside to create an unrivaled smartphone experience. But anyone who had seen the iPhone 6, will immediately see the resemblance of its design on the new HTC One A9. Other than its iPhone 6 lookalike design, there ain’t any other new features on this new smartphone that will WOW you as much as that.
HTC One A9 had removed HTC One series’ signature twin sound bar design to make way for the new multi-directional fingerprint scanner to unlock the phone and for making purchases via Android Pay. HTC kept the HTC BoomSound integrated into the headset combined with Dolby Audio surround technology, delivering immersive, vibrant high resolution audio through your headphones.
The HTC One A9 comes with a 5″ Full HD AMOLED edge-to-edge, 2.5D Corning Gorilla Glass 4 screen that cascades into the metal frame, giving you brighter and more vivid colors for brilliant graphics and gaming, even in direct sunlight.
The HTC One A9’s main 13MP rear camera features Optical Image Stabilization (OIS), which automatically minimises hand shake and corrects vibrations. Meanwhile, the front UltraPixel camera is said to be able to capture 300% more light than conventional smartphone cameras.
HTC One A9 also offers a Pro mode to capture the perfect photo without being a photography expert, you can also save photos using RAW capture – a tool used by professional photographers – for an unmatched level of detail and post-shot editing flexibility. Or you can keep things simple with Photo Editor’s one-button enhancement feature, which automatically brightens colors and sharpens edges for unbelievably clear and crisp photos.
Featuring the newest Qualcomm Snapdragon 617 processor with integrated X8 LTE and 64-bit octa-core CPUs, the HTC One A9 is designed to deliver a perfect balance of powerful performance, fast connectivity and better battery life.
The HTC One A9 in Carbon Gray, Opal Silver, Topaz Gold and Deep Garnet and HTC One A9 accessories will be available worldwide, both at retailers and at htc.com, beginning November 2015.
