Rich and colourful screen ; Fast fingerprint scanner ; Runs latest Android

A blatant iPhone rip-off ; Woeful battery life ; Badly overpriced

Improved camera ; Awesome design ; Good Marshmallow mix

Battery life too poor ; Some rattling in case ; Cost too high

To compare this too much to an iPhone would be unfair to the genuinely impressive power under the hood - but it's curious that HTC has decided on this design path.

HTC's One A9 is just fine for a midrange device, but for its astonishingly high full retail price, you can buy much more powerful, better overall phones.

iPhone looks aside, the One A9 is a really nice new device from HTC. We like the thin and light design, especially in red, and the addition of a fingerprint scanner. Specs are good all-round with the rear camera looking to be the highlight but we need...
