LONDON: HTC has finally announced the much-awaited HTC One A9 smartphone for the Indian market. The smartphone was announced alongside the Desire 828 Dual SIM, which was a mid-range device which was launched for the Chinese markets. Both smartphones will arrive in India by December and for now HTC has not given out any details regarding their pricing; but stated that the same will be announced a few days before launch.
The HTC One A9 clearly needs no introductions. Its claim to fame unfortunately came from the fact that it looks pretty similar to the Apple iPhone 6 and 6s. Still then, HTC has delved into the details and upon a closer look, users will notice the differences.
The all-metal design seems inspired from HTC’s previous flagship the One M9 while the fingerprint reader on the front is similar to the one on the HTC One M9+. And expertise in metal shows with an almost seamless design with the only resemblance to the iPhone being the single colour front bezel and the gaps for the antenna bands on the back.
