No, it’s technically not out yet. But it might as well be, since HTC once again failed spectacularly at keeping anything a secret. Literally all there is to know about the redesigned One M9 sequel is out of the bag.The name. The full specs. Color choices. Even wallpapers, and as for the ...

The iPhone SE has been a tricky phone to classify. After unboxing it, and reviewing it, many comments were shared debating what the SE really was. Is it an “entry level” device? Is it a “mini-flagship”? How should we draw the lines on the smartphone market map?We’re sticking with “mid-range” for the iPhone SE, but that’s not to say there isn’t a lot of overlap between these various tiers. To see where the iPhone might belong, ...

HTC is quite stingy when it comes to first-party sales. It’s been the case for both the One M9 and the One A9 and even the One M8 as all of those phones have retained their original full retail prices for the longest time. It’s only when these Hot Deals come along that things start making sense. And hey, it’s “spring cleaning” time, so there’d better be some inventory to clear out.The One M9,
The post HTC One A9 discounted to $389 as spring cleaning intersects with Hot Deals appeared first on Pocketnow.
Smartphone users don’t tend to be the most patient bunch in the world: we want faster data, new phones sooner, and software update now, now, now. On the hardware front, that need for speed has extended to way we power our phones; the old days of waiting hours and hours for a smartphone to get a full charge are long over, replaced with modern fast-charging tech. When HTC launched its One A9 late last year, some shoppers may have raised an eyebrow at the phone’s petite 2150mAh battery, but at least ...

How long before quarterly HTC device sales drop from millions back in the day to thousands to mere hundreds? Not long, if the Taiwanese company keeps up its recent streak of bad luck and insists on manufacturing products people are simply not interested in anymore.Okay, perhaps we’re exaggerating a bit with the “hundreds” prediction, but in February, HTC’s unaudited consolidated revenue sat at a lousy NT$4.2 billion, or $129 million. That’s less than what Apple makes in a day, and it ...

What does the future hold for HTC’s One-series of smartphones? With it looking increasingly likely that the company’s next flagship will drop both the One name and its M-designation, will models like the One A9 and One X9 be the last of their kind? We don’t know about that just yet, but we’re finding last year’s One A9 back in the news ...

HTC was pretty much caught between a rock and a hard place when mapping out its H1 2016 product introductions, ultimately deciding to put off the One M10 coming-out party until after a crowded MWC where Samsung and LG captured the spotlight.Now it of course remains to be seen if the Taiwanese OEM’s high-end “Perfume” will be strong and distinctive enough to catch up to the Galaxy S7 ...

Welcome to the HTC One M1-whoops, sorry about that. I think one of our rumors dispels that name. Anyways, what we know about this device, codenamed “Perfume,” is that it’s … well, uh… kinda. Y’know.

How many more months of constant financial losses can HTC afford before throwing in the towel and declaring bankruptcy, or at least abandoning the smartphone market? We may find out soon enough, as the once mighty and profitable Taiwanese company just wrapped up a dismal year on a predictably low note.Still, things have been known to go worse for the One M9 and A9 manufacturers ...
