Anonymous, 20 Oct 2015It's laughable how some of y'all think HTC copied iPhone when the truth is the other way aroun... moreWhich was a beautiful phone with even more beautiful descendants.... Except this one.

It's hard for me to understand HTC's logic here. At that price, why wouldn't someone just buy an actual iPhone instead of this A9 clone? It's actual more expensive than a new iPhone 6.

I love the idea. I think it is briliant... Put your guts in someones shell... Especialy someone who is leading the market and take a piece of their market. Not everybody can do that or better said not everybody is willing to do that... I believe they learned a lot, lets see what they came up with next year flagship, this is not obviously it...
Not saying who coppied who... But you can see clearly both companies are taking ideas one from another since they signed 10 years non-suable agreement...
However this is just my opinion, as we all do the same. You go on market see what is working and try to include it in your product or service (Apple Store / Samsung store, Apple Pay / Android pay / Samsung Pay)... Of course everybody is copying from everybody, which just means someone is listening what (most of) teh market wants...
If few individuals don't agree with what does it change, when marketplace is in millions. Probably you already have your device which makes you happy (for now), but there is loads of people who look for eye catching shape & affordable price tag... and not much more...

Anonymous, 20 Oct 2015why it has to be apple look alike?? iphone6/s/plus looks ugly... imhoIt's laughable how some of y'all think HTC copied iPhone when the truth is the other way around (Apple copied HTC One M7 from 2013 for their 2014 flagship-iPhone 6/6 plus/6S/Plus)

it is not beautiful, and no one will buy this instead of an iPhone, because no one wants cheap copies.
HTC, innovation in design should have been the way and not a copy.

Look forward to it. Myself and my colleagues have enjoyed our HTC's very much. Delivered very well and never an issue. Ever. that's real and that's the facts. credit where due. Not looking for beasts or gaming. But I think this phone will be as sexy as its comparison in real life and probably a very good update from what we have.

"strike a balance between beauty, performance and simplicity,"
Performance & Simplicity wise we not sure yet, but the first one: "beauty", it is definitely a BIG "NO".
My first smartphone was a HTC Evo 3D, use it for years and switch to HTC One M7, no doubt that the M7 is still the best design even up to today. But the purple tint camera and customer services is killing me from continue to be HTC customer and switch to iPhone.
HTC design really getting worse and worse from M8 to M9 and now a stupid A9. It look like a no-brand dummy phone seriously. Yet the price tag is close to Apple, this is really ridiculous.
HTC never learn. Never.

I don't get it why people blame companies for copying each others, it's there problem, why should consumer care?
I think since lollipop and now Android M ..no need for powerful Soc, look at Lenovo or Zuk uses not the powerful chips in the market yet they are very smooth and no lag at all, look at SD 810 Sony Xperia z5 locked it from 2.0 to 1.56 and still run smoothly as hell, what I need is less power consumption CPU + smooth performance which can be assured in good amount of ram, and with htc having the best fast sense they are capable of doing great things

Don't compare with Apple, even HTC is not comparable with Sony.
Sony still provide Android 6.0 to old flagship product like Xperia Z Ultra.

HTC is one of the worst smartphone vendors who seldom provide software upgrade for older devices. Even the HTC One Max, flagship but no update for Android6.0. Shame on you.

It has been known for a long time itÂÂ’s similar in feel body wise to the i6. Terrific. Bring it on. I actually love the body of the i6 and I thought a while ago, now wouldnÂÂ’t it be great to have a phone like this running android. Whoever had a little copy of who, who cares. They all do it so stop the misery already. Here we have a phone like an i6 with android, bigger battery, probably bigger ram, slightly bigger screen (nice compromise) + image stabilization and a quality build mid to high. Different strokes for different folks. ItÂÂ’s not perfect but neither is apple but its nice.
I hope the price is less but at the same time if you are going to bitch about pricing just walk into the apple store in Sydney and the price for a i6 is over $1200.00 start point. Yes there are great phones at 300. Go get them. IÂÂ’m open to those too and it comes down to preferences but I personally like the quality of HTC and its interface. For the same type of spec phone there are offerings but I want the image stable and the feel of an iPhone without it being it.
My classic HTC One S with S4 chip from 2012 has been a work horse. I donÂÂ’t want a shovel so I think this smooth slick baby will be just great. The real life pics will be more flattering and if you put the iPhone and A9 face on, both are not ugly. Also like the axon mini
Moving on im sure after this measure we can look forward to real innovation. Onwards an upwards. IÂÂ’ll take 3 please.
