One A9 lower price than the A9..

[Kelly Kearns]

But did they cut the features too much to get the One A9 to a more Midrange price point?

"Fans of the One A9 will be glad to hear that aside from the omission of its logo on the front of the device and a reduction in the length of the earpiece, HTC has barely made any changes to the design of the One A9s.

However, things start to take a turn for the worst when you look under the hood. For some strange reason, HTC has decided to cut costs and strip out the Full HD display that ships on board the original One A9 in favor of a substandard 720p panel."

The HTC One A9s is more of a downgrade than an upgrade

As I recall, even Jerry had a hard time justifying the price of the original A9. If HTC can offer a similar package for something less expensive, then great!
