We have talked a lot about HTC in recent times as a company that continues to remember those years in which was the backbone in terms of software and hardware on Android. Those phones like the Hero and so many others, were the wish of many users who wanted an Android smartphone with a custom Sense layer that worked like a charm and that greatly distinguished itself from the OS itself and from other manufacturers such as Samsung.
These last few years are looking for the right key to go back to being what they were at the time, although the reality that is costing them their share. Between internal discussions and changes in management, now it seems that it is taking a new direction with what would be the HTC One A9, which could be the first smartphone with Android 6.0 Marshmallow, if we did not have the two Nexus devices that will be presented at the end of this year. month. A whole initiative to try to modify the course a little and change little by little towards other horizons.
An HTC One A9 "Aero" with Android 6.0
According to an own insider within HTC, the upcoming HTC One A9 «Aero» will feature Android 6.0 Marshmallow when available from store windows in a mall. So it can be arranged as one of the desired purchases to have the best of Android in its latest version without having to wait for March or April when the terminals with the new version begin to arrive.
On the other hand, a developer of ROMs for Android who is known by @LlabTooFeR, claims from Twitter that the HTC One A9 Aero will be released in October or November with Android 6.0 Marshmallow. If this information is true, the next HTC smartphone will be the first non-Nexus smartphone to launch with this long-awaited new version of Android.
At the same time
Google has already prepared for September 29 the announcement and launch of its two new Nexus smartphones based on Android 6.0 Marshmallow. The funny thing is that HTC also has a press event scheduled for the same day, and from what can be known from different sources is that the HTC One A9 will be unveiled.
If it could be that the Taiwanese manufacturer wants to take advantage of the pull that Android now means with that version 6.0 Marshmallow and what Lollipop has meant, now it has also devised the launch of a phone «Hero» for the second half of the year. From the limited information that can be accessed at this time, a MediaTek Helio X20 chip with deca-core CPU chip, 4 GB of RAM and what would be a high-quality camera.
The ability to launch an Android device with the 6.0 Marshmallow can be a great ally, but it is important that it also comes with good hardware to keep up with it. That new HTC Hero may be another great moment on HTC's path of change, but what has been said, it has to provide great quality and focus on it, since it can be a great claim to have a new generation of one of the phones that marked a before and after for Android in their first steps as a baby.
