HTC One A9s goes official, and no, it's not an upgrade

01 September, 2016
The One A9s keeps the premium unibody, but downgrades screen resolution, chipset, and camera features.

Htc started it all, from the M7 era, then now, most of the cellphone companies are just copying what Htc does with their phones, thinking people are now judging and accusing Htc to be a copy-cat...?!?

    AnonD-525483, 02 Sep 2016I am with you.. And trust me we are not alone. We want this... moreI agree, we need HTC in the market but they need to stand out from the rest of the copy cats.

    This does look like an underpowered iPhone but remember the M7 ! that phone made every manufacturer sit up and reevaluate just what a smartphone can be.

    There are rumours of a HTC A10 later this year, I just hope it's a high end stand out midranger.

          Helio P10? with that GPU? I don't think that's a good one The P10 is good but need a good GPU so it can run good and without lag.

We want this company to survive the cyclone from Chinese companies (high quality hardware/ridiculously low pricing)... HTC had made a hole in their ship and not attempting to fix it, but making it bigger...

                  @htc It happens only at HTC. you are downgrading your technology year-on-year and expect profit improvements quarter-on-quarter#HTCOneA9s. Downgrade in technology upgrade your price. You are doomed to die. Arrogant HTC never listens to customers and fans

                      the Meizu MX6 and Pro 6 are doing the iPhone look better with much better specs than this too. All Meizu needs to do is move the camera into the corner.

                          Please do not buy htc phones. They lag like crazy and lie to you about updates. They have terrible updates and this phone just looks ugly.

                                Anonymous, 01 Sep 2016Actually, the Helio P10 is an upgrade from the crappy Snapd... moreInteresting that comparison. However, our 3 A9 work fantastic. The 617 chip is efficient and fast. Absolutely no complaints. We use to have phones with the great S 4 chip. That was great. This is awesome and it handles several screens of multitasking. All a matter of respective.aside from that. It's one of thee most beautiful handsets available.

                                    What the heck is this? This better be for less than 200€, because this is a worthless piece of crap of a phone Lol (specs wise).

                                      HTC has lost their way. A company with no strategy.

                                        DonAlduck, 01 Sep 2016How can a company mess up their mid range flagship? Well, ... moreyeah so u expect 4 upgrades (battery, chip, camera and OS) and lower the price to an amount you find it reasonable.... really...
                                        now on the topic... i think they felt the pressure to come up with a fast twist since the A9 didn't sell as much as they expected, dunno how welcome will this be but looks sort of cool ;)
