Last week, we spoke about unofficial leaks of a purported HTC A9 (Aero) in the wild. Outed as the void-filler in between the One M9 and its yet to be released successor, it looks pretty much like an iPhone if viewed from the back. The official HTC Weibo post states that we will be able to take a look at the device on the 6th of September, leaving us to only 4 days before we’ll see the latest HTC smart phone.
Since the image’s text was posted in Mandarin, many are still unsure of its meaning – even after getting help from Google translate, which struggled to translate it to English. Supposedly, the text goes to say something along the lines of “the strength to fight bias” and “simple colour value”.
Not giving away much, by any means, however, it’ll be a tough climb for the Taiwanese company, if the device they’re releasing doesn’t offer any visual distinction from its competitors (provided the Aero looks like how it does in the previous leaks)
Internally, that might differ, as the new HTC A9 is touted to be powered by an industry’s first tri-cluster Deca-core (10) MediaTek Helio X20 and a Mali-T880 MP4 graphics processor. It’ll also apparently carry a QHD display with Gorilla Glass 4, protecting it from any unwanted scratches and smudges.

Notorious leaker @evleaks posted that this new flagship might carry the “One” title, with the HTC One A9 (Aero) but we’ll wait to see if September the 6th confirms his speculation.
The late rise of Samsung in the Android market, brought the demise of the HTC name, so we hope in earnest that their new handsome hero can bring back some good news for the company.
