The One A9 falls into an emerging category in today's mix of smartphones. It wants to be a flagship smartphone, but it doesn't quite have the specs to earn that moniker. Instead, it exists as an affordable flagship: a phone that features premium design an...

It's a very pretty phone. It works ok, but mostly it's very pretty,
The underperforming processor is noticeably deficient. Android phones are famous for a little bit of lag, especially when laden with heavy skinning, but it's that much worse when trying to be an iPhone replacement. Also, despite being better than its big
Do you need a new phone so badly that you can snatch up the A9 at the $400 launch price and do you desperately want an iPhone form factor with the versatility of an Android phone? Then yes, you should buy it, but that’s a lot of ifs for one particular nic...
Premium price tag, Camera needs fine tuning, Unimpressive battery life
HTC's One A9 has a lot of good features including an attractive design, expandable storage, and the latest Android 6.0 Marshmallow. However, after perusing through our benchmarks, you'll quickly notice the One A9 isn't a chart-topper. If you're using this...

high-quality chassis, excellent AMOLED screen, good camera, microSD-slot for storage expansion, fingerprint scanner, LTE Cat. 6, very good sound at the 3.5 mm jack, decent headset

In Review HTC One A9. Review sample courtesy of HTC Germany.The HTC One A9 is a new approach for the Taiwanese manufacturer. The focus of the new smartphone is clearly on the design. Despite the big similarities to the current iPhones from Apple, it would...
Abstract: The smartphone landscape is changing at an incredible clip, faster than at any other moment in my time reviewing phones. While phones are becoming more powerful at the high-end, a new segment is emerging in the midrange off-contract market.There's a new b...
Premium design and build, Launches with Android 6.0 Marshmallow, HTC's best camera in years, Sense UI lets Marshmallow shine through
Snapdragon 617 performance is firmly mid-range, Battery life is poor when Doze can't save it
The One A9 is one of HTC's best phones in a while. It has a beautiful design (with more than a few borrowed elements), nice camera, and great software. Despite all the fancy features, this is still a mid-range phone, and an overpriced one at that...
Sleek, premium frame, Fast, convenient fingerprint sensor, Good cameras and editing app
Below-average performance
There are many things to love about the HTC One A9: Its great cameras, beautiful, if too-familiar design, convenient fingerprint sensor and relatively low price of $400. But it lacks the multitasking prowess of other phones in this price range. Also, if y...
Lovely looking, premium casing. Fingerprint scanner works well. Fairly clean Android 6.0. Much improved rear camera for an HTC
We'd like the phone a lot better were it not for the premium price tag. Looks too much like the iPhone. Battery life is mediocre
The HTC One A9 is an easy phone to like at the pre-order price of $399, though we wouldn't call it a bargain. At the Nov. 7 release price of $499 (more at some carriers), it's hard to recommend as a wise buy when there are even better phones available at...

If you saw the announcement for the HTC One A9 (I can't blame you if you decided to pass on it) then you know how desperate HTC is. They called out Apple for taking Zoe and calling it Live Photos and for stealing their design. They claimed “we invented...
Some of the best-built quality of any Android phone, Amazing AMOLED display, Android 6.0 Marshmallow out of the box, Sense 7.0 for a light skin with lots of features, Super fast and accurate fingerprint scanner, Amazing audio output, Excellent photo and v
Looks more like an iPhone than an HTC phone, Mediocre camera in all but sunlight, High relative price for the specs, Only a single speaker, not stereo BoomSound speakers, Metal build can be super slippery, Final Thoughts, The HTC One A9 is one incredibly
The HTC One A9 is one incredibly good phone. It feels good in the hand, performs well in most situations and looks great too. There's tons of software features here including the fact that it's running the latest version of Android, Android 6.0 Marshma...
