HTC One A9
« on: October 20, 2015, 06:48:24 PM »
Any thoughts on this new device?

Can't figure out if the unlocked version works on all carriers. From the presentation that's what I understood but looks different on the site.

They said the devices sold from HTC were able to be used on all carriers.  I assumed that meant like the Moro X pure for instance but looking at the choices available on their site now I'm not so sure.


Also this is a bit of interesting info

I am using it right now, had it for the last six weeks. It's surprisingly speedy, nice screen, nice size, as always clean interface. Battery life is pretty good, but wish battery was bigger. I got a quick charge 3.0 charger so it charges very fast, so not so relevant. Speaker is actually comparable to the stereo speakers on my M7. Let me know if you have any more questions.

Yes. They need to have testers nationwide in order to work out the kinks before its launched.

I was under the impression that reviewers only got it today for the first time, didn't know there was such a thing as testers too. Where can I sign up?

You may ask. (Proper grammar would be "Would you please PM me, too".)
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

And you have to keep the device secret, which can be quite hard if you're on the go and trying to get work done.

Can you tell us more about battery life?
Was looking to get a new device and just can't make the jump to a galaxy device. Even with touchwiz updates I'm still not a fan. 
What I'm really waiting for is the HTC One M10   but until then...
