The newly-launched HTC One X9 could be considered a bigger version of the One A9, which was released few months ago, though not entirely so. Packing a large Full HD display, the handset is built for enjoyable viewing and should deliver superb performance with an octa-core processor powering away under the hood.
Design and Display
The One X9 features the familiar unibody construction of most smartphones coming from HTC. The body is made mostly of aluminium, with a bit of plastic on the rear close to the camera.
The HTC One X9 phablet comes in 7.99mm thick and weighs 174 grams. Respectably brilliant viewing is covered with a massive 5.5-inch IPS display, which covers over 80 percent of the front and has a resolution of 1080 x 1920 pixels.
The Cameras
On the camera front, HTC One X9 could be said to offer just what one would expect in its price bracket – a 13-megapixel rear-facing camera and a 5-megapixel front-facing snapper.
The main camera features dual LED flash, BSI sensor and optical image stabilisation (OIS). It can be used for shooting breathtaking 4K videos. The front camera with f/2.0 lens should deliver some decent wide-angle selfies with more friends and greater scenery.
Hardware and Software
You will be right to expect HTC One X9 to do some serious heavy lifting with an octa-core MediaTek Helio X10 processor onboard. The CPU, which is paired with ample RAM of 3GB capacity, produces processing speeds of up to 2.2 GHz for superb responsiveness.
Onboard storage with a capacity of 32 GB is very generous and should be sufficient for the needs of most users. But if by any chance you still want more, you will be able to add up to a whopping 2TB more storage space with a microSD card.
The HTC One X9 will run on Android 6.0 Marshmallow.
Juice will be supplied to HTC One X9 by a large 3000mAh battery which looks like one to get it running for many hours on a charge.
Pricing & Availability
HTC One X9 is not yet available in Nigeria. We have no information on pricing and availability for Nigeria. HTC One X9 Price in Nigeria is expected to range from N85,000 to N160,000 at launch.
