HTC One A9 features metal frame, and looks beautiful in every way. Finger Print Sensor, AMOLED Display, Faster Charging, Camera with OIS all seems to be on track. However, Snapdragon 617 makes it a mid-range phone, but HTC One A9 goes beyond mid-range as far as price tag is concerned. With all the great specs if HTC could manage to choose a premium processor, this device could do even better. 2150 mAh battery is also one flip side that many users won’t like.
HTC claims that HTC One A9 comes with an amazing sound quality that you wouldn’t have heard from any smartphone. Its build-in DAC converts 16-bit audio to 24-bit high-resolution sound. We will come to know once it hits the stores. HTC One A9 would replace HTC One M9 according to HTC, but this sounds quite strange as HTC One A9 is weaker than HTC One M9.

It will be available with 2GB as well as 3GB RAM, 16GB variant features 2GB RAM and 32GB variant features 3GB RAM. HTC has not said anything about the pricing of 16GB HTC One A9, but 32GB version will be sold for $399.99. If you don’t mind Snapdragon 617 and 2150 mAh battery, you can buy one for you.
