The essence of all smartphone manufacturers is to copy each other. If Samsung is most often the object of such criticism, it is because it is the most popular but other manufacturers are not much different. With its new model, the One A9s, HTC builds on its great American rival (which was also inspired another HTC device).

Perhaps you remember the HTC One A9, this smartphone whose resemblance to the iPhone 6 was obvious? It seems that HTC wants to continue in the same vein with the HTC One A9s which itself recalls the iPhone 6s. After all, why bother to create a product when you can be inspired by a competitor who has proven? The Taiwanese manufacturer pushes up the farce even add an s to the end of the name, like the Apple flagship store. So we had the iPhone 6, which has become the iPhone 6s, we now have the HTC One A9 version that becomes the HTC A9s. Certainly this is not the first time that HTC uses a s, but in this context it is quite funny.

Let the Cynicism aside a time to focus on the device. The image shows several interesting elements. On the front we find a physical home button that is probably like that of HTC 10, that is, you have only to touch to use and not to press it. At the back, we can see that the objective of the camera, sensors and flash are no longer on top in the middle, but in the left corner of the phone. Yes, as on the iPhone. 

We do not know (yet) the technical characteristics of the device, except that the rear camera uses a lens and 13 megapixel at the front we have a unit of 4 ultrapixels (clean technology HTC). Where HTC can still surprise, it is with its software interface is highly approximate Stock Android.

Through its partnership with Google to manufacture the Nexus, HTC has managed to get rid of the sword of Damocles hanging over his head as a result of accumulated bad results in terms of sales. If all goes well, the device should be presented at IFA.

What do you think of this HTC One A9s? Do you find that HTC is going too far by copying to 's' Apple?
