HTC One A9 In Six Colors Seen In Press Renders Leaked Ahead Of Launch

The latest leaked renders of the HTC One A9, codenamed Hima Aero, shows off six possible color options.

Famous Twitter leaker Evan Blass, well renowned for his highly accurate leaks, once again provided a glimpse of what else to expect on the next flagship smartphone from the Taiwanese manufacturer. This is reportedly slated to be unwrapped later this year, alongside another rumored high-end HTC device.

On his Twitter post, Blass shared that the six purported colors of the HTC Aero include Acid Gold, Opal Silver, Deep Garnet, Carbon Gray, Rose Gold and Cast Iron.

Earlier this month, Blass also leaked specifications for the HTC One A9, hinting that the next smartphone may be a midrange handset and may not be the high-end device that is expected to put HTC back on the map to rival other smartphone makers like LG and Samsung.

The smartphone is rumored to boast a 5-inch display, 2GB of RAM and 16GB of storage, as well as a Snapdragon 617 processor. This device is also purported to showcase a 13MP rear camera with optical image stabilization and a fingerprint sensor that is integrated into the device's home button. In addition, the HTC One A9 is speculated to run on Android 6.0 Marshmallow.

"HTC One A9 (Hima Aero): SD617, 5" FHD AMOLED, 2GB/16GB, 13MP/4UP OIS BSI, 2150mAh, microSD, fingerprint, metal, ~7mm, 6 colors. November," tweeted Blass.

It is also worth noting that this new smartphone seems identical to the iPhone 6.

"Everything's an iPhone!" commented Josh Wedekind, a Twitter user, on the tipster's post.

HTC is reported to release its new smartphone to make up for its poor sales of the HTC One M9. Sales of its previous handsets, the HTC One M7, HTC One M8 and HTC One M9, have reportedly been disappointing.

Cher Wang, HTC's new CEO, then announced in an earnings call that the company will unveil its new handset to replace the One M9 later this year.

The company revealed in August its plan to cut 15 percent of its workforce across the globe.
