Taiwanese consumer electronics major HTC launched a new smartphone, One A9s, on Sept.1.
As the name suggests, it is a new version of the One A9, which was launched in 2015. That said, One A9s is a watered-down version of the original model, without many changes in the design language, except the camera position at the back. It sports the same dual metal-finish body. The display resolution is lowered to HD (1280px720p). Even the front-camera features a regular 5MP snapper, as compared to the UltraPixel camera seen in the 2015 model.
It houses a MediaTek Helio P10 octa-core CPU, 2GB/3GB RAM, 16GB/32GB inbuilt storage, 2,300mAh battery and a 13MP camera with LED flash on the back.
