HTC A55 is HTC One E9 with QuadHD screen, MT6795 chip

HTC A55 made the rounds just a month ago with flagship-grade specs, but it was rumored as a Desire smartphone. Today we finally learn its retail name - it's indeed a flagship phone from the One series - the HTC One E9.

HTC Hima Ace or HTC A55 should launch as HTC One E9 - a different flavor of the One M9. It will pack a 5.5" Quad HD display and run on the MediaTek MT6795 chipset with an octa-core 2.0GHz Cortex-A53 processor, PowerVR G6200 GPU and 3GB of RAM.

The rest of the HTC One E9 specs are pretty much the same as the One M9 flagship - 32 GB storage, 20MP rear camera, 4MP UltraPixel selfie snapper, rich connectivity package (including a dual-SIM option) and Android 5 Lollipop plus HTC Sense 7 UI. In some markets the 4MP front sensor will even be replaced with a 13MP one.

There is no information on when the official announcement will happen, but it is rumored to launch in China by the end of this month. The rumored paintjobs are White Rose Gold, Gray, and Brown Gold colors.
