HTC is expected to reveal the One A9, also known as Aero or Hima, in the following days. However, a new leaked photo might have disappointed some of its fans.
Leaked photos are often blurry or vague. In this case, the HTC One A9 can still be identified. It's also blurry, but the HTC logo can be clearly seen at the bottom part of the front side of the phone.
Some are disappointed with its design, but some are spotting a new fingerprint scanner. The photo, which was uploaded by the French FrAndroid website, shows a white HTC phone that is presumed to be the One A9.
Those who have seen the photo say that it's either a home button or a fingerprint scanner. Phandroid reported that it could just be the home button. Surprisingly, the design appears very similar to an iPhone, as seen in the previous leaks.
Still, the Android phone in the image looks like a mid-end one. The HTC One A9 could be targeted for Android users that want a less expensive, but powerful handset.
Under the hood, the HTC One A9 is rumored to have a deca-core processor and a generous 4GB of RAM, according to Tech Radar.
Still, there are conflicting reports. Other rumors suggest that it might come with just 2GB of RAM and an octa-core Snapradgon 617 chipset instead of the deca-core one. Android fans are hoping that the HTC One A9 would have the fingerprint scanner. It suggestes that it could run the new Android 6.0 Marshmallow version.
All answers about the HTC One A9 would hopefully be answered at the company's press event on September 29, according to GSM Arena. Besides the Aero or Hima phone, the tech company is also expected to launch Butterfly 2.
HTC One A9's release date is expected in October, but there is still no guarantee. The company might just launch an improved One M9+ model. However, the leaked photos of the alleged HTC One A9 still manages to excite its fans.
