HTC has embedded a fingerprint scanner on the Home Key that will allow users to unlock their devices even when the display is turned off. With Android 6.0 Marshmallow, you can use the fingerprint sensor for much more than unlocking your device.

The HTC One A9 has an all-metal unibody design so you know its battery is non removable. This is a 2150mAh battery that HTC says can last for a while given that the screen is not that big and has a 1080p resolution. This battery supports Quick Charge 2.0 and 3.0.

Price and Availability

The HTC One A9 will be available globally as from the first week of November. It will be retailing at  $400 (approximately Ksh 41,000) for the 16GB/2GB RAM version. Available colors include Opal Silver, Carbon Grey, Deep Garnet and Topaz Gold.
