HTC One A9 review: Not the winner this company needs

 

After the One M9 failed to find its footing, HTC cooked up a sequel with a new but derivative look. It's a well-built device and is one of the first to ship with Google's latest version of Android, but some of the One series' hallmark features are...

Respectable performance ; Impeccable build quality ; Ships with Android 6.0 ; HTC's Sense UI is even leaner now

The design looks very familiar ; Middling camera ; BoomSound speakers are gone ; The alluring price tag is temporary

I used to love HTC. I still think the One M7 was the best smartphone of its generation. The thing is, HTC has been chasing that moment of greatness for two years and it just keeps missing. Make no mistake: The One A9 is a good phone. The build quality...

HTC One A9 review

 

HTC's all-metal One A9 has style, but its $500 price tag is much higher than the competition.

Even though it regularly makes stunning phones, HTC hasn’t had an easy time in stores. Sales of the M9 are poor, and the company needs to recover quickly. Making a less-attractive iPhone imitation worked the magic for Samsung with the Galaxy S3 years...

DxOMark Mobile report: HTC One A9

 

In the HTC device lineup the One A9 sits just below the flagship One M9. However, in the camera department, with its faster F2.0 aperture and optical image stabilization, it actually offers some advantages over the M9. On the downside it has to make do...

HTC One A9 (Sprint)

 

The HTC One A9 is a good-looking Android phone for Sprint users who value a compact form factor, but its camera isn't up to snuff.

Premium build. Well-sized for one-handed use. Runs Android 6.0 Marshmallow. Expandable storage.

Mediocre camera. Pricey for the feature set.

Software, Camera, and Conclusions The A9 runs Android 6.0 Marshmallow , making it one of the few non-Nexus phones to run a recent build of Android. HTC Sense, a fairly lightweight UI layer is also on board. Most of the additional software elements are...

HTC One A9 review: the Android iPhone

 

When the history of Android is written, HTC's name will go down as one of the early innovators that propelled the young platform to its fullest potential. This Taiwanese company built the first...

Exquisite, if unoriginal, design ; Runs smooth as butter ; Fast and accurate fingerprint sensor ; Sounds great even without stereo speakers

Battery is only just adequate ; Camera still lags the competition ; Google’s Nexuses offer much better value ; The ignominy of being an iPhone clone

HTC One A9 (Unlocked)

 

The premium HTC One A9 hits a lot of marks especially for Android users who want a smaller unlocked phone, but its camera doesn't measure up to the competition.

Attractive build. MicroSD card slot. Android 6.0 Marshmallow. Very good battery life.

Expensive for its feature set. Lackluster camera.

Conclusions The HTC One A9 doesn't have many direct competitors in its size class, and its $499 price tag puts it in an odd middle ground between $650 premium devices and $150-300 budget models. There's the older HTC One M9 , still on sale; the more...

HTC One A9 review: The latest Android software comes at too high a price

 

Even with Marshmallow onboard, the HTC One A9's high price means this midrange mobile doesn't impress.

The HTC One A9 is among the first smartphones to launch with the latest Android Marshmallow operating system onboard, you can expand the storage with microSD cards, its camera takes decent shots and it boasts a metal body.

It's grossly overpriced, comparable in specs and performance to midrange phones costing far less.

HTC's One A9 is just fine for a midrange device, but for its astonishingly high full retail price, you can buy much more powerful, better overall phones.

HTC One A9 review: A stylish iPhone clone that isn't worth its premium price

 

HTC would have a hit on its hands if it weren't so optimistic about how much you'd be willing to pay for this small, mid-range phone.

5-inch, compact size is a nice change from all the gigantic phones hitting the market ; Fantastic battery life

Camera performance is only marginally better than its predecessor ; HTC Sense is too much now that Marshmallow exists

One A9 is proof that HTC can make a solid mid-range device, but don't consider bringing one home unless it drastically drops in price.

HTC One A9 (opal silver)

 

Though it's part of HTC's top-end One family, slightly scaled-down specs and and a different (but still familiar) design make the A9 a cheaper alternative to the company's One M9 series. Beyond a full-HD 5-inch display, it packs a 13-megapixel rear...

HTC One A9 Review

 

"Pick your battles" is good advice, especially when you're a minnow among sharks, but the HTC One A9 seems determined to fight on all fronts. You'd think the company's newest hero phone would have enough going on just trying to convince us that a...
