The HTC One A9 price will go up to $499 in the US starting November 7

Shortly after officially unveiling the HTC One A9 last week, the company made the phone available for pre-order in the US at the promotional price of $399.99. Up until recently, we had no idea what the regular HTC One A9 price will be once the promotion ends, but as it turns out, the answer is $499.99.

In an official statement issued earlier today, HTC said that the One A9 price will go up $100 starting November 7. Interestingly, the official statement also says that the promotional pre-sale will end when the phone becomes available for purchase from major retailers, which marks November 7 as our new best estimate when it comes to the HTC One A9 release date.

The manufacturer also touched the topic of the One A9's price in other regions of the world, stating that regional representatives can set their own prices in accordance to the local market context. In Europe, for instance, the phone is priced at the equivalent of $725. The unusually uneven pricing across various markets has raised many discontent voices among HTC's European fans in the past week.
