the HTC One a9 is a unique device but you wouldn't know that by looking at it this new Android smartphone can be easy to confuse for an iPhone here's the same shape the same aluminum unibody design and it all feels the same when you hold it what makes a distinct however is precisely the fact that it brings all these iPhone qualities to the world of Android and not just any Android but Android marshmallow the latest version of Google's mobile OS the one a9 box the present trend forever larger and more powerful flagship Android phones prioritising instead of thin lightweight design overall horsepower the display is a 5 inch AMOLED panel that looks great in all lighting conditions there's a new 30 megapixel camera with optical image stabilization HTC isn't willing to describe this is this best camera ever but I can already tell you that it is thus a disappointment of this year's earlier one m9 has been rectified HD signature boom sound speakers have you removed to make room for new fingerprint sensor under display which also act is a touch sensitive home button unlike the iPhone of the galaxy s6 this home button can't be pressed in and only offers vibration feedback but it is just as fast and accurate as the others and sound still remains the top priority for HTC with support for high resolution audio and a single speaker that still sounds great HTC One a9 is a lot like Samsung's Galaxy alpha of 2014 a phone that doesn't have a clear relationship to the company's flagship device but it's designed like a flagship in some right like the Alpha the biggest sacrifice that a one a9 makes is in the battery it's only 20 150 milliamp hours which is more than the iPhone but well below the modern Android average that's paired with a Snapdragon 617 processor which promises greater efficiency and Android Stowe's feature to have a better life that's at least adequate the funny thing about the AC 1 and 9 is that none of its specs appear to be class-leading or all that special and yet it performs with beautiful speed and fluidity it feels great and does pretty much everything you'd want the motor smartphone to do it's like HTC copied the iPhones it just works credo along with the devices look at design and that's what makes the one a9 so interesting in a sea of high-powered machines it's a light and airy alternative that puts the user experience first the one a9 will be available around the world from the start of November stay tuned to the verge for a full review in the coming days
