HTC has announced its much rumored HTC One A9 with decent hardware on the board. HTC One A9 can be the device which can change the financial landscape for HTC. Many Guys are saying it as an iPhone clone ad it is a mid range device.
HTC One A9 features an all-metal unibody design, similar to what we’ve seen in past HTC phones like the One M9, M8 or M7. The HTC One A9 is built around a 5″ AMOLED screen of 1080p resolution and is the first to run on the Snapdragon 617 chip. The SoC employs an octa-core processor with four Cortex-A53 cores at 1.5GHz and another four A53 ticking at 1.2GHz, Adreno 405 GPU and 2 or 3 GB of RAM depending on the version.
The 2GB of RAM model comes with 16GB of on-board storage, while the 3GB of RAM variant comes with 32GB of internal memory. Both variants also come with microSD expansion up to 2TB (2,000 gigabytes).
There are a few color choices available with this device as well, including a lighter silver color, and one that is called deep garnet, a dark red color that looks really good.
HTC is also releasing an unlocked version on HTC.com as a SIM unlocked phone, with an unlockable bootloader (warranty stays when unlocked too), that will work on AT&T and T-Mobile. It will be up for pre-order today on HTC’s website and will ship November 6.
During a promotional period, the One A9 will be available starting at $399.
