HTC is in an awkward spot. When it comes to mobiles, we haven’t seen anything as exciting and unique as the HTC One M8 from them. The latter may have released only two years ago, but it’s an eternity in smartphone years and a lack of innovation in that much time is a serious problem.
As mentioned earlier, the design has been lifted straight from Apple’s iPhone 6. You get the same glass front, metal back, antenna lines and even the bulging rear camera. At least, that’s what you notice at first glance. The rear camera is placed top centre on the rear of the device and the volume and power buttons on the right. You get a fingerprint reader on the front, of the oblong variety that’s common on almost all Android phones now, and an indicator LED on the top.
Look and feel
Let's just get to the elephant in the room immediately: yes, the HTC One A9 bears a strong resemblance to the iPhone 6s(Review). The flat metal back, thickness, unibody design, curved corners, antenna lines, protruding camera, and speaker grille at the bottom are all similar to design cues on Apple's flagship. However, the One A9 is larger than the 6s, has prominent HTC logos at the back and in front, and has its rear camera positioned at the centre instead of in the upper left corner.
It's also important to note that the some of these design elements such as the antenna lines, metallic unibody and curved corners were used by HTC long before the iPhone 6 and 6s launched. Additionally, the front is patently different from the iPhone and borrows cues from the HTC One M9+(such as the fingerprint sensor). While there are certainly similarities, we are of the opinion that it is unfair to say that HTC has blatantly copied the iPhone, or designed the A9 with the sole intention of piggybacking on the success of Apple's design.
The front of the phone has the selfie camera, earpiece, and proximity sensor at the top, and the fingerprint sensor at the bottom. The phone doesn't have capacitive Android keys, instead using on-screen keys for those functions. The fingerprint sensor doubles up as a home key, but this can be disabled if you prefer. The phone can be woken using motion launch gestures or by touching the fingerprint sensor.
