When HTC CEO Cher Wang said last June that the company would be launching a “Hero” phone in October, the assumption was that the HTC One A9, which was first dubbed the “Aero,” would be a high-end model that would make up for the poorly received HTC One M9. It was a tweet from tipster Evan Blass a couple of weeks ago that spilled the beans about the handset.
The HTC One A9 is said to employ 2.5D glass with rounded edges and the device does offer a metal build. We expect to see the handset unveiled during a media event in October that will be held in multiple cities. The company will reportedly be shelling out big bucks to promote the phone.
