The official announcement of the HTC One A9 is but a mere few hours away, but HTC CEO Cher Wang has written to her employees to let them know just what a winner they have on their hands. In the letter, Wang calls the HTC One A9 a “good alternative” to the Apple iPhones, saying that the smartphone “strike[s] a balance between beauty, performance and simplicity.” We’ll have to see whether that’s true or not when the device is announced, but we’ve seen in previous leaked photos that the device is definitely simpler in design.
A notable omission is the dual front speakers that HTC basically made popular on smartphones -Â we’re assuming the earpiece speaker is going to double as the primary speaker, though we could be wrong. The other noteworthy thing about the One A9 is that it could very well be the first non-Nexus smartphone to be released with Android Marshmallow, no small feat for the Android enthusiast who wants the latest and greatest. We’ll have to wait until today’s event in New York before we find out more details about pricing and availability.
