HTC One A9s
Remember the phone that many have
nicknamed HTC's iPhone? It launched last year, and we're talking about the
One A9. Since we're approaching its one year birthday, apparently it's almost
time for HTC to unveil its successor.
This will be called One A9s, according
to Evan Blass (a.k.a. @evleaks) - hence HTC is continuing to draw 'inspiration'
from Apple for this line of handsets, this time with the naming too.
It's pretty much going to have an identical design to its
predecessor, save for some minor differences. First off, the HTC logo will
vanish from the front. Also, the rear camera and LED flash have been moved to
one side (which coincidentally or not makes this device look even more like an
iPhone from the back). Finally, the sensors above the display are given new
locations too. But otherwise, the "enclosure" is almost the same as
the original A9's.
On the inside we assume there will be
upgraded specs, but a full list of those hasn't been leaked yet. What we do
know is that the front camera will be a 5 MP unit, while the rear camera will
stick to the 13 MP resolution of the A9.
The One
A9s will be offered in black, gold, and bluish-silver. It's reportedly going to
become official on September 1, which is this coming Thursday.
