so HEC just invited us to go check out
the new one a 910 this phone saved the
company from the brink of destruction
let's go check it out sexy this is the
HTC One a9 look familiar
yep it looks just like an iPhone 6
except it runs the newest version of
Android 6.0 marshmallow and not iOS HTC
wants to remind everyone that it did the
unibody aluminum design first with the
One m8 but they should also be reminded
that being first doesn't always mean
being iconic there are some obvious
differences between the two phones like
the bigger five inch full HD screen it's
sharp but not very bright outdoors even
at full brightness the 13 megapixel
camera with optical image stabilization
and dual LED flash is center-aligned
instead of being in the corner and
there's a 4 megapixel ultra pixel camera
on the front for selfies the one a9
isn't the most powerful phone and that's
perfectly fine
it has a 64-bit Qualcomm Snapdragon 617
octa-core processor 3 gigabytes of RAM
32 gigabytes of internal storage which
is expandable via microSD card and a
2150 milliamp hour battery with quick
charge 3.0 HTC's Sense skin still sits
on top of Android but doesn't take away
from the performance in any real way the
best part is the fingerprint sensor
below the screen it's not a press full
button but it works very quickly better
than the iPhones touch ID because it
doesn't need to be pressed even the
bottom looks like an iPhone with a
speaker and headphone jack reversed of
course we're sure Apple won't be
thrilled with the cloning but let's be
real there's only so many ways to build
a metal phone before they all look the
same
no word on exact pricing for the one a9
but HTC says it'll be very affordable
the phone will be available by the end
of October
