HTC One A9 Live Photo Leak Shows Hardware Specifications: Snapdragon 617, Sony Sensor Listed

Recently, the credible tipster Evan Blass tweeted a slew of HTC One A9 photos flaunting six different colors. However, now, a live photo of the A9 has surfaced via China’s Weibo.

As predicted, the HTC One A9 is a mid-range handset and the leaked image apparently confirms some of the key configurations. Under the hood, the device will apparently flaunt Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 617 chipset, working in tandem with an octa-core processor. The graphics side of things will be taken care by Adreno 405 GPU and it will be backed by a modest 2 GB of RAM.

Speaking of other HTC One A9 specifications, the smartphone will reportedly feature a 5-inch display, packed with a Full HD screen resolution of 1,080 x 1,920 pixels. This display combination translates to a pixel density of 441 ppi.

When it comes to memory specification, the One A9 is believed to come equipped with 16 GB of in-built storage space. However, there’s no word on the expandable storage option. The rear-facing camera unit will reportedly house a 13-megapixel “Sony” sensor, G For Games reported. In addition, there will also be a 4-megapixel UltraPixel snapper for selfies, at the front.

HTC is not apparently giving up on the infamous UltraPixel sensor debuted in HTC One M7 and also seen in the 2014 flagship HTC One M8. Speaking of HTC One M9, thanks to the scathing feedback, the Taiwanese tech giant designated the UltraPixel unit as a secondary snapper and spared the main camera, according to Phone Arena. However, this trend will apparently continue in the A9 as well.

Other rumored One A9 features include a fingerprint scanner, located at the tail-end of the device and a modest 2,150 mAh battery unit. Meanwhile, the HTC One A9 release has reportedly been set for October.
