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

  • The HTC One A9 is supposedly the one smartphone to turn around HTC's low sales and redeem past mistakes. And it's a mid-ranger everybody should be delighted to have - the One A9 comes in a beautiful, sleek metal unibody, with a great 5" AMOLED screen, a c...

  • Abstract:  HTC is attempting a course-correction and the HTC One A9 is the phone to set it on its new path. Or rather its old path - HTC was synonymous with "premium Android" back in the day, but lost its way the last couple of generations.The A9 may be a throwback...

  • Overall, HTC One A9 is a pretty solid phone. Despite the iPhone-ish look, the One A9 is very nice to hold on, but you must be very careful with it. The back is slippery and the 2.5D front glass is quite fragile. As a mid-range phone, it is tad overprice b...

  • Abstract:  Ah, so we've arrived at this. HTC 's infamous One A9 , the smartphone that had a negative label pegged to it from the moment it was officially unveiled in Malaysia — overpriced — and for good reason.From a price-to-spec perspective, there is really no jus...

  • High-contrast AMOLED screen, Feels great, Much-improved camera versatility, Great finger scanner
  • Yes, it looks like an iPhone, Max one-day battery life
  • After the all-too-familiar HTC One M9, the One A9 feels like a very different, much bolder phone. Sure, you can dismiss it as an iPhone rip-off if you like, but the work HTC has put in to improve its camera, display and software make this one of the most...

  • Abstract:  Picking up the HTC One A9 the first time, you can't help thinking if this looks like a phone you've seen before. Ah yes, the Apple iPhone.The comparisons are unavoidable. The smooth finish at the back, plus the rounded corners, simply remind you of Apple'...

  • Abstract:  Following the rather disappointing HTC One M9, the One A9 offered the Taiwanese manufacturer a chance to redeem itself. So, despite its claims to the contrary, we suspect that is why HTC decided to take a huge departure from its signature curved-body desi...
