    Utterly Butterly Smoothest Mobile,With Beautiful Finishing
    Here i am putting this review after 20 days of usage Android 7 update received in India..and it's buttery smooth Pros :- Feel the Flagship :- It has a metal unibody with great finish, and when you hold it the feel you get cant explain in words. Super Smooth :- I have almost Installed 40 apps on the phone eg OLA, Uber , Whats app etc etc but after installing so many apps(3rd party) its still buttery smooth. Selfie Camera :- It has 4 Ultrapixel selfie camera which makes photos superb in lowlight and very impressive. Ultrafast Finger print scanner :-Unlike other mobiles it dont have physical button, its a capacitive button. And i compared it with samsung note and other mobiles it is ultrafast and it never fails. And you can configure upto 5 finger. Unbeatable Music Experience :- It has Audio DAC, which is digital to analog converter. Which converts your audio file to 192 kbps quality which is amazing, But to feel it you need to use High res Audio phones and 3rd party app. Any sony earphones with above 1500 will be good(Recommended). Sense 7 and HTC freestyle themes :- The sense home is awesome, after installing sense freestyle themes your phone is like superb. You can customize it you can put icons where ever you want and it feels different. Amoled Display :- You will not come to know the feel of amoled Display with normal use. But once you use display with apps you can feel the difference which is quite impressive. No heating issue :- Instead of metal body no heating issue, i played Asphalt 8 continuously for 45 mins no heating issue observed which usually happens with metal body. Eligible for Android 7 update. Cons :- Now come to cons Bit Overpriced with specifications :- If you compare with other brands its bit overpriced. Specifications are bit lower than other. Rear Camera :- Its a average 13 MP Camera, not outstanding. Battery :- Battery drain fast. But it supports QC 3.0 (you need to update software and need QC3.0 charger) Conclusion :- Its a very good phone, if you looking for better Android experience or a unique android experience go for it, if you are non HTC user try once, you gonna get unique experience. If you think above reviews are fake amazon has around 20 days return policy. Return it if you dont like. Power Saving Methods :- How to save HTC one A9 battery. You guys fed up by charging mobile twice a day??? You guys cursing HTC??? Now here is the solution. How to long last battery of One A9 for upto 20 Hours :- > Tip 1 :- Clear the sense home themes and just use Default theme.

      Can say decent mobile
      @Build quality and design(like iphone, who cares) are excellent but top n bottom bezels could be tinner.
      @Both the Cameras are very good n specially selfie cam is great thought look artificial sometimes
      @Decent sense ui. No lags and hiccups and also good themeing support
      @Dolby and boom sound are only good with head phones. Output from external speaker is week.
      @Phone uses on screen navigation bottons which I don't like. There is ample space at the bottom bezel but HTC didn't put navigation bottons there. Thankfully there is also another on screen botton which will help u to hide on screen navigation panel.
      @ SD617 is running above average but no lags in general usage. App openings specially games takes a bit more time.
      @Holds network signals very strong. Call clarity and in call volume is also very good.
      @ I am very much surprised to see that my airtel 2g data running like 3g. No buffering in YouTube(with in 1st 30secs half of the video loads). Play store apps downloads so quick and browsing is also very fast. I have also compared with other phones using airtel 2g plan, A9 is extremely quick.
      @Battery, the biggest problem with One A9.
      I am not able to get through a complete day with moderate use which is a pain for buyers.
      @ Screen quality is very good even outdoors.

      All things together I am only disappointment with battery performance. Rest, A9 manages to meet my expectations.

      I did a lot of, a lot of research before buying this phone from Amazon. Was waiting for iPhone SE release and was hoping the price correction. But the 16GB stayed at 39k which broke my heart. After overall overview and comparison and research I finally bought this phone. Some brief pros and cons:

      Pros:
      3GB RAM and 32GB internal memory.
      Snapdragon 617 octacore processor.
      441ppi display.
      quick charge 3.0 support. Battery charges full in max 1 hour.
      Beautiful Dolby sound and nice earphone.
      Slim metal beauty.
      Very good hardware.
      Very good 3g internet.
      Its very light in hand and powerful (like i5 intel processor in PCs). iPhone 6s and Samsung galaxy S7 to i7 processor in PCs.
      Nice camera.
      Fast finger print scanner.
      Latest android OS marshmallow. 6.0.1 available for update.
      There are many good things to add but no time. Try it yourself.

      An one more important thing to add. The mobile is shipped with memory encrypted (secure data). The ++1 point.

      Cons:
      Little slippery due to metal body.
      No water resistant.
      lukewarm heating when connected to carrier internet (2g/3g/4g).
      Non-removable battery.

      Snapdragon 617 for this price is really a tough call, even Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 offers 650 series for just 14k bucks. HTC is a great brand when we talk about quality, but can't go correctly while they put price tag. Battery is another issue for this mobile, they are ruining their legacy by repeating same mistakes again & again. They (even Sony) need to understand the market.
