The editors didn't like

  • Average cameras with poor lowlight
  • HTC's Sense 7 skin needs to go
  • Weak battery life
  • Screen is tough to see outdoors
  • Nexus 6P is a better buy for $500
  • 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
  • Price In some regions
  • This phone is an unabashed ripoff. The price in the US is $400 temporarily
  • After which it will rise to $500. It's not worth $500
  • That's Nexus 6P money. And in some regions
  • You're expected to effectively pay even more for a 16GB/2
  • Speakerphone quality could be better
  • We'd like HTC to keep the price at $399 beyond the presale period
  • 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
  • Phone speakers are just adequate
  • Not a completely pure version of Android
  • Price goes up $100 after November 7th
  • It's grossly overpriced
  • Comparable in specs and performance to midrange phones costing far less
  • Expensive for its feature set. Lackluster camera
  • Camera performance is only marginally better than its predecessor
  • HTC Sense is too much now that Marshmallow exists
  • Premium price tag
  • Camera needs fine tuning
  • Unimpressive battery life
  • Snapdragon 617 performance is firmly mid-range
  • Battery life is poor when Doze can't save it
  • Tiny battery
  • No BoomSound
  • Too expensive
  • 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
  • Merely average battery
  • Rearfacing camera also average
  • Hardware can struggle with intensive apps
  • Disappointing graphics processing performance
  • Poor 1080p video recording quality
  • Weak peak display brightness
  • Battery life is average
  • Battery is only just adequate
  • Camera still lags the competition
  • Google's Nexuses offer much better value
  • The ignominy of being an iPhone clone
  • Below-average performance
  • Design incredibly derivative
  • Despite AMOLED
  • Display is very standard
  • Lacking in performance speed
  • Fingerprint reader throws a wrench in plenty of other well-known HTC features
  • No BoomSound speakers
  • Battery doesn't last long at all
  •  Not enough power for the price (after promotional period)
  •  Camera underperforms in low light
  •  European pricing is crazy
  • Underexposure and poor dynamic range in highcontrast situations
  • White balance can cause pink cast in low daylight and tungstenilluminated lowlight scenes
  • Very slow shutter speeds in low light (1/8 sec at 20 Lux) lead to image blur
  • Autofocus shows insta
  • The design looks very familiar
  • Middling camera
  • BoomSound speakers are gone
  • The alluring price tag is temporary
  • Mediocre battery runtimes
  • High RRP
  • Slower than the rivals

  • Good, Good screen, Excellent performance, Decent cameras, Up-to-date software, Good Wi-Fi and network handling
  • Average battery life, Weak audio from speaker, Quick Charge-compatible charger not included
  • While HTC's most iconic products have typically been its annual M-series flagships, the company has also delivered some memorable models in the more affordable lines. With the One A9, HTC has now established a new category just below the flagships, with a...

  • Everything about HTC's One A9 comes down to its price. Rs 32,900. Let that digest for a bit. HTC expects you to spend more on the HTC One A9 that you would on a Nexus 5X, the Moto X Style or even the ridiculously specced Xiaomi Mi 5 Pro or LeEco Le Max Pr...

  • Intelligent design, Runs smooth, Fast and accurate fingerprint sensor, Sounds great even without stereo speakers
  • Low battery, Looks similar to iPhone 6, Camera still needs improvement
  • Unfortunately, no matter how good the device is, the review has to end with a black or white verdict. HTC has come up to a great length in determining themselves as the premium smartphone brand and sure they are. The performance of the device is quite...

  • Brilliant display, Solid build quality, Runs on the latest Android 6.0 (Marshmallow) out of the box, Good camera with RAW mode, MicroSD expansion slot
  • Battery life could be better, Lacks 4K video recording, Slightly priced on the higher side, No Dual SIM support,
  • At a price tag of Rs.29,990, the One A9 is definitely a bit costly compared to other smartphones in the range for the features it offers. The AMOLED display is brilliant, the phone has a solid build and also has a microSD expansion slot, but the battery l...

  • HTC made on hell of a phone with the HTC One A9, to add to possibly the strongest lineup of handsets for any company. But, just like many devices in the past the price does not seem to do it justice. While HTC phones are built to last, and look and feel g...

  • Poor gaming performance, Sub-par camera performance, Expensive
  • The HTC One A9 is a phone that just works, but its price tag is too high to recommend it. It still lacks in the camera department and it's definitely not a phone for mobile gamers.Htc one a9 - SpecificationKey SpecsSee all SpecsSee Short Specsoperating sy...

  • 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 thats a lot of is one particular niche in...
