"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enwhat's up guys everything I will prove here and here we've got the brand new HTC One a9 now a lot of you may not even know about this phone but I thought it was important to share it on this channel and I'll get to why in just a second let's just say this thing looks awfully familiar so in this video I'll be doing a full comparison of the new HTC One a9 to the iPhone 6 as a phone it competes with even though it's not on the same price level so let me go ahead and get this thing unboxed and I'll show you what I'm talking about with this new phone now HTC isn't doing too good this year the HTC m9 bombed it you know nobody really wanted it was too similar to the old m8 but I got to tell you the HTC a knife is something different all together as soon as I slip this out of here just let me know what you think about this design where have we seen it before it looks awfully familiar to the 6 and 6s design however when actually confronted HTC claimed that Apple copied them with a unibody design back in 2013 and with the actual antenna lines on the back so although this thing looks familiar there's a lot going for that the iPhone doesn't have it I'll be completely 100% honest with you guys I really really wanted to bash on this phone from what I saw in pictures after using in person my perspective changed completely now there's no denying though it looks an awfully lot like the iPhone 6s the overall design the curved edges this screen is even curved all the antenna lines I mean it's awfully similar the proportions especially but at the same time I love the design more than the iPhone 6 and yeah I just said that I'm sorry but this thing just feels so good when you're holding it it's not as rounded as an iPhone 6s making it easier to hold and I love the brushed aluminium on the rear the effect looks really nice it adds a premium touch to this phone and the price tag is what I can't believe about this phone for just five hundred dollars you can get this phone that rivals the iPhone 6s in some areas so the displays a little bit larger but at the same time the phone's not that much harder to hold as I said the edges make it very comfortable and it does have a micro SD card as well as you can see right there there are two trays in there so port speaker everything looks very similar one-handed usability on the iPhone 6s is going to be a little bit easier you know because of that larger display you're going to have a little bit of a tougher time reaching the upper areas of the display but overall both very comfortable phones both very similar both fingerprint magnets but I love the design and both gotta say the a9 man I was really surprised just how great and premium this design feels now the HTC m9 is a little bit of an interesting size it's right in between the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s plus without 5-inch display however I do like it you know the beautiful display technology does help a lot besides wise these phones are extremely similar they weigh the same even though the a9 is a slightly bigger phone quality is top-notch on both so if you have any doubts you know you shouldn't have any these are both premium pant sets made of the best materials now when it comes to displays after using them for a while I gotta say I'm very very satisfied with both HTC made a great choice in the panel the AMOLED has great color reproduction very very sharp and I love how bright it is the iPhone you know really great LCD IPS technology viewable from many angles however the AMOLED display on a 9 is just a little bit better when it comes to color and I absolutely love it so no complaints with either one of these they're both great but color wise and brightness wise I gotta give it to the HTC a9 of the success though it has the unique 3d touch technology no other manufacturer besides halawi offers anything like it and it's going to be a major selling point of a success for a while before the competitors start to catch up I mean basically allows you to shortcut into areas of different apps a lot of functionality to your device and growing every single day right now it's a little thin but basically with 3d touch you can save time and add functionality to your device and there are live photos something that the HTC a9 doesn't have and with 3d touch it can be a really nice feature to have so relive memories just by 3d touching on an image and inside your photo roll and it'll basically show you a couple seconds before and after of the photo and audio and it can be a really nice touch now understandable being a budget-priced phone the HTC a9 has mid-level performance it doesn't have the same specs as you'd find on a higher-end samsung phone or the new Nexus 6p but it still does have pretty good specs on paper as well as a very reasonable amount of RAM and a healthy GPU so an actual performance I did a geek bench gfx bench and then I ran some applications just to see speed wise how this thing compares to an iPhone 6s and it does just about as you'd expect so nothing too crazy it gets the job done but it's not going to be for high-end power users if you're buying this phone you have to understand it's not the most amazing performing device so next I did run GFX bench and the iPhone 6s of course dominated here the HTC a9 did alright but in every single test the iPhone 6s did have a higher score understandably it has a 6 core GPU whereas the HTC a9 has a budget GPU although it did all right you know gaming is going to be on a completely different level on the iPhone success if you're into that I also did launch some big games you know these are almost a gigabyte each and I noticed that the HTC a 9th is terrible when comparing it to an iPhone in terms of loading speeds the games started up faster everything loaded faster on the iPhone so you're going to have to sacrifice a lot of time to wait for things to load and actual performance in games is going to be better on these success as well so just take a look at that there is quite a delay when loading on the a9 so the iPhone certainly has an advantage here with graphical performance now getting into Wireless the iPhone 6s has a clear advantage it has more LTE bands so it's better for an international phone it also has bluetooth 4.2 and a mimal enable the Wi-Fi chip however the a9 actually has higher upload speed for LTE which no carrier takes advantage of yet but it's there and a couple other minor tests I ran so browser score on the HTC a9 was much higher and this is due to Chrome not the actual phone itself but you're gonna have a better browsing experience with that guy actual fingerprint speeds on the a9 were wicked fast I was very very surprised to find that this thing activated almost twice as fast as the 6s in some cases and I thought that was fast already so the great thing about it that I like is your display doesn t need to be on you don't need to press any buttons just put your finger on the fingerprint sensor and boom it unlocks right away the 6s due to the animations it actually seems slower if Apple got rid of those the fingerprint sensor would be just as fast I also tested the speaker output the a9 actually has a built-in amplifier I got 98.1 decibels on the iPhone 6s a hundred point nine so honestly i was a little bit disappointed with the speaker quality on the a9 it's a little flat a little tinny sounding it's definitely a richer sound on these 6s I also wanted out the the a9 gets hot whenever doing something very intensive I mean I got temperatures up to 92 degrees and doing the same thing such as downloading a one gigabyte application from the App Store on the iPhone 6s I only got about 86 87 degrees so definitely a huge difference there in terms of temperature so on paper megapixel size you know roughly the same but feature wise the a9 is a little lackluster it doesn't even do 60 frames per second although it does have optical image stabilization and it does have that dual tone LED flash and a sapphire crystal lens cover as well aperture is a little bit better so supposedly it does perform better in low light and let me tell you right off the bat HTC a9 has some very beautiful colors very gorgeous deep juicy looking colors however take a look at that video I mean it's very jagged that's because it doesn't support 60 frames per second and I can't find out why almost every smartphone nowadays does and it's very strange to see video that's only 30 frames per second next to 60 frames per second it's obviously very jagged while moving it now detail is very good when you're holding it still I notice that the quality is very acceptable in some cases even outperforming the 6s especially in lower light conditions take a look at some of these photos now digital zoom also was very impressive to me this duck picture is fully zoomed in you can see the quality's definitely better on the a and 9 overall great cameras now the front facing camera on both of these is very similar in nature the 6s can't do 1080p though for some reason but overall good a wider angle on the 6s if you're looking for the best possible battery life that can be found on the HTC a9 it features a bigger battery and overall better battery performing specs and one of the most compelling reasons to get the 89 over the success is the price you get a lot for that price tag just $500 gets you an unlock 32 gigabyte base storage HTC a nine with upgradable storage up to 200 gigabytes so if someone were to ask me should I get this early success I would tell them this is everything I liked about this phone for $500 I honestly would recommend this phone to anybody in that price range it's a very well-built solid phone to me it's basically an iphone running a very clean version of Android I do like the new HTC Sense it's with a new Android version and overall man this phone is top-notch I absolutely love it it could be a little bit faster but other than that in most other areas it does very well the iPhone 6s also has a lot going for it is more expensive but if you can stomach the cost it's certainly worth that $150 increase I mean we keep phones for one to two years so why not get the best you can but if you're on a budget 500 dollars with the HTC 9 will get you so much the iPhone 6s can do the iPhone 6s is just that extra cherry on top it's a little bit faster the camera does 4k video 60 frames per second and better slow motion overall you know these are both great phones but I would be happy at $500 with a nine if I had a little bit more money I would always go with these 6s though the HTC a9 is certainly a better value for the money though $500 I mean honestly I think it's the best budget smart phone right now the styling of an iPhone with a clean user interface from Android so I got to give it to HTC I like this phone a lot more than I thought I would they really put in a lot of effort into it you know you could say that they're copying it's certainly undeniable but they did improve upon the iPhone in some areas so thanks so much for watching guys have a great day and know that whichever one you do choose you'll have a great time with either one peacewhat's up guys everything I will prove here and here we've got the brand new HTC One a9 now a lot of you may not even know about this
