HTC One X9 now official
HTC launched a new device in China on Christmas eve. Dubbed the One X9, this is HTC’s latest high end device that will go head to head with other Chinese flagships. Featuring a metallic body, this is HTC’s hero device launched at an awkward time.
The One X9 is the more premium version of the A9 launched earlier this year. The HTC One X9 features a 5.5 inch IPS LCD display with a 1080p screen resolution. It features Mediatek’s Helio X10 octa core processor that should help bring the costs down. It comes with 3GB of RAM and 32GB of storage along with a microSD card slot (with support for cards up to 2 TB). It is powered by a 3000 mAh battery. inclusion of Optical Image Stabilization comes as a surprise given the price of the One X9. At $370 or 2,399 Yuan, the One X9 comes with a 13 MP primary camera and UltraPixel camera on the front.
The X9 lacks the fingerprint sensor found on the A9. Dual SIM feature was also an unsurprising inclusion, as is support for dual mode FDD and TDD 4G LTE. HTC is also bringing back its capacitive navigation buttons in the One X9.
HTC has not revealed information about the Android version on the One X9, nor are the pre-order or availability details known yet.
