HTC One X9 mid-range hero sounds a lot like the One A9
HTC has used the Mediatek Helio X10 octa-core processor with 3GB RAM in the smartphone.

Not to be outdone, Samsung’s Galaxy A9 is nearly the same with One X9 in terms of size and power, with a small advantage. The smartphone features a 5.5-inch full-HD (1080×1920 pixels) resolution with a pixel density of 410ppi and a 170-degree viewing angle.
As you’d expect, the HTC One X9 release is going to hit China first with a price tag of 2,399 Yuan which shakes out to around $371 or Rs. 24,500.
Although there hasn’t been any official announcement from the company if the new HTC One X9 will also be released in the USA and United Kingdom, the smartphone is now priced at $370, according to The Verge.
WARNING: During the upgrade process the device will reboot multiple times and show software upgrade screens. As for the storage, the smartphone houses 32GB of inbuilt storage, which can be expanded via a microSD card (up to 2TB). It also features 13-megapixel rear camera with optical image stabilization – adept shooter present on the One A9 – and a frontal 5-megapixel camera.
The new Android 6.0.1 update brings noticeable improvements for Doze, which now puts an inactive phone into a deep sleep mode and cuts off background applications. But considering the HTC One A9 was released with Android 6.0 Marshmallow, it wouldn’t be surprising if it went the same route with the One M9. They also need to make sure that your battery is charged to at least 50%. It bears an ambient light sensor, proximity sensor, g-motion sensor, compass, gyroscope, and a magnetic sensor.

Other features of note are front-facing stereo speakers, dual nano SIM slots and the return of capacitive Android navigation buttons to the phone’s face (HTC’s last two phones, the One M9 and A9, don’t have those). It is powered by a 3,000 mAh battery and boots on Android-unspecified, but is expected to be the new Marshmallow-with HTC Sense UI on top of it. There is no fingerprint sensor on the device.
