Taken together, the HTC One A9 is the phone the One M9 should have been from the start, and it's easily my favourite HTC handset to date. Sense 7 is a fantastic interface and the A9's beautiful design makes it by far one of the most pleasing and attractiv...
Pretty as anything that's come before it, slick fingerprint sensor,
Crazy expensive, frustrating camera, Should You Buy It
Absolutely not, considering its current price. Before you snap back at me with Apple-related witticisms, you need to consider the privileged position Tim Cook and co are in. If Apple released a bucket with a hole in the bottom tomorrow, it would probably...
The HTC One A9 is among the first smartphones to launch with the latest Android Marshmallow operating system onboard, you can expand the storage with microSD cards, its camera takes decent shots and it boasts a metal body
It's grossly overpriced, comparable in specs and performance to midrange phones costing far less
HTC's One A9 is just fine for a midrange device, but for its astonishingly high full retail price, you can buy much more powerful, better overall phones...
Abstract: Meet the HTC One A9, the Taiwanese company's latest premium phone - but it's not poised as a flagship successor. Instead, HTC's launching this under its current leading One M9 phone, with less speed and fewer megapixels but all in a slimmer, all-aluminium...

Design, build, lighter Sense UI, launches on Android 6 Marshmallow, fast fingerprint scanner, impressive battery life
Camera not the best, display could be better, flagship price for a mid-level handset
We love the HTC One A9 and we think it's the most exciting handset HTC has launched in 2015. We'd pick it over the M9 because it has charm that the flagship lacks. Despite being less powerful and lesser featured, the A9 offers a number of advantage...
Looking back at my rather bizarre, rambling and confused post about the HTC One M9, I think I was asking for a bit more. The phone was fantastic, don't get me wrong, but I knew that HTC could do more and it could also be different. They were almost in a r...
Gorgeous all-metal design, Fingerprint sensor with Android Pay, MicroSD card slot for expandable storage, Nearly pure Android 6.0 Marshmallow
Weak processor, Poor battery life, $500 is too much
Even though it regularly makes stunning phones, HTC hasn't had an easy time in stores. Sales of the M9 are poor, and the company needs to recover quickly. Making a less-attractive iPhone imitation worked the magic for Samsung with the Galaxy S3 years ag...
The success of the HTC One A9 will depend largely on how much it costs. If it undercuts the iPhone 6S and Galaxy S6 by £200-£300, it's hard to imagine this smartphone not selling well. It's perhaps a little too similar to the iPhone for comfort, but that...
iPhone looks aside, the One A9 is a really nice new device from HTC. We like the thin and light design, especially in red, and the addition of a fingerprint scanner. Specs are good all-round with the rear camera looking to be the highlight but we need a p...
