HTC Aero to be in the One crew, headed to Sprint

29 June, 2015

The HTC One M9+ is headed to the Old Continent in Q3, but it will be far from the last high-end HTC device this year. Well-known leaker Evan Blass mentioned earlier the HTC Aero will follow the M9+ and has now dug up some additional info.

The HTC Aero will reportedly join the One ranks in early November, that's a month after the new flagship promised by CEO Cher Wang. Blass describes it as an "intermediate device," so maybe it's not the real flagship but instead a runner up.

HTC Aero tipped for release by Sprint, among other places, in early Nov. Despite being "One" branded, classified as an intermediate device.

Either way, the device will land on Sprint though it's not clear if it's an exclusive or just a local version of an international device. The carrier-branded launch might explain the one month delay too.

Recently the FTC certified an LTE-packing HTC though that was a GSM device with no CDMA support.

All I wanted from HTC was a phone with a 5.5 to 5.7 screen with better specs than the M8. M9 was a dud. And Now they are coming out with a suppose saver phone that is smaller than the M9. I'm done.
