<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Release date: November 2015<\/p>\n
Summary: HTC have released the A9, a mid to high-end smartphone as opposed to a flagship device. It looks a lot like an iPhone 6S, but how has it been received by the experts? It seems the verdicts are mixed.<\/p>\n
Reviewers are pretty unanimous in\u00a0praising the phone’s design, while the camera stands up well to the usual rigorous testing. The arrival of Android Marshmallow 6.0 is also a welcome one.<\/p>\n
What seems to ultimately let the One A9 down is the price. Many believe that HTC’s pricing aims to place the phone among the high-end flagship end of the market, where the device simply can’t compete. Still, it seems it’s a solid phone and one that may become even more appealing if and when the price starts to fall.<\/p>\n
