  • So, HTC just invite us go to check out the new ONE A9.

  • Can this phone save the company from the brink of destruction? Let's go check it out! (TAXI)

  • This is the HTC ONE A9, look familiar?

  • Yap, it looks just like an iPhone 6, except it runs the newest version of Android 6.0 Marshmallow and not iOS.

  • HTC wants to remind everyone that it did the unibody aluminum design first, in the ONE M8.

  • But they should also be reminded that "being first doesn't always mean being iconic."

  • There are some obvious differences between the two phones, like the bigger 5-inch Full-HD screen.

  • It's sharp, but not very bright outdoors, even at full brightness.

  • The 13-megapixels camera with optical image stabilization and dual LED flash is setting align instead of being set in the corner.

  • And there's a 4-megapixel UltraPixel camera on the front for selfies.

  • The ONE A9 isn't the most powerful phone and that's perfectly fine.

  • It has a 64 bit Qualcomm Snapdragon 617 octa core processor, 3 GigaBytes of RAM, 32 GBs of internal storage, which is expandable via MicroSD card, and a 2150 mAh battery with quick charge 3.0

  • HTC's Sense skins still sits on top of Android, but it doesn't take away from the performance in any real way.

  • The best part is the fingerprint sensor below the screen. It's not the pressable button, but it works very quickly.

  • Better than the iPhone's Touch ID because it doesn't need to be pressed.

  • Even the bottom looks like an iPhone, the speaker and the headphone jack reversed, of course.

  • we are sure Apple will be thrilled with the cloning, but let's be real.

  • There's only so many ways to build a metal phone before they all look the same.

  • No word on exact pricing for ONE A9, but HTC says it will be very affordable.

  • Phone will be availabe by the end of October.

So, HTC just invite us go to check out the new ONE A9.
