HTC will reportedly increase the price on its One A9 smartphone just after its US launch. According to Tech Times, the USD399 price was just a “promotional pre-sale” incentive to entice interest.
A spokesperson for the company said about the pricing, which will revert to USD499 on November 7, "The cost of the HTC One A9 is the same worldwide to all distributors and operator partners. For end consumers, HTC’s sales regions are given the freedom to set prices and promotions as they see fit for local market needs. The One A9 price in the US is a very limited-time promotional offer for that region’s online store, as well as select HTC-only franchise stores. The offer is a special promotional pre-sale and is expected to conclude once the One A9 is available on-shelf at major retail and distributor partners.
HTC One A9 is a mid-range smartphone in a premium coating. SlashGear said the phone, which has a 5-inch, 1080p resolution screen display, comes with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 617, 3 GB of RAM, 32 GB of expandable storage, and a 13-megapixel camera. HTC also promises some Android OS updates days after Google’s Nexus push, PhoneDog.com said. But if the company decides to up the price to USD499 a unit, consumers may be compelled to consider Nexus 6P instead as a more viable, cost-per-value alternative, thanks to its higher-end specs and faster updates.
