The X9 has the familiar BoomSound front-facing stereo speakers of the One M series, slim bezels and upgraded hardware.<\/p>\n<p class=\"graf--p\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/8.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-48954\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/8.jpg\" alt=\"8\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/8.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/8-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/8-450x300.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"graf--p\">Amusingly, <em class=\"markup--em markup--p-em\">Anzhuo<\/em> disparage the way the front-facing camera doesn\u2019t line up with the other elements above the screen: \u201cI strongly recommend [detail-obsessed] Virgos be cautious upon choosing this phone.\u201d The writer also cautions that the camera, flash and antenna lozenge on the back \u201crepeats the mistakes of the Nexus 6P.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"graf--p\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/4.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-48955\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/4.jpg\" alt=\"4\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/4.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/4-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/4-450x300.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"graf--p\">Internally, the One X9 seems a mid-range phone for 2016. The 5.5-inch 1080p device comes with a 2.2GHz octa-core Helio X10 CPU, backed with 2GB or 3GB of RAM and 16GB of (expandable) storage. In terms of cameras, we have a 13-megapixel rear camera and a 5-megapixel shooter up front. All of this is powered by a sizeable 3,000mAh battery, according to specifications from Chinese telecom TENAA.<\/p>\n<p class=\"graf--p\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/6.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-48956\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/6.jpg\" alt=\"6\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/6.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/6-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/6-450x300.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"graf--p\">The only problem with this phone besides the wonky front-facing camera placement? So far, there\u2019s no indication that the One X9 will be released in Europe or North America. Instead, you\u2019ll have to rely on a gray market import, or just hope that some of the One X9\u2019s best features make it into the next European HTC flagship.<\/p>\n<p class=\"graf--p\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-48957\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/3.jpg\" alt=\"3\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/3.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/3-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/3-450x300.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"graf--p\">What do you think of the One X9?
