HTC One S9 is official: a new mid-ranger with a few surprises
44
The HTC One S9 has just made its official debut, but it's nothing new per se: bringing back the good-looking metal design of the HTC One M9, the One S9 is a more affordable phone that differentiates itself with a set of two front-firing speakers. It runs on Android 6 Marshmallow with HTC Sense on top.
HTC also takes pride in and advertizes the 13MP optically stabilized camera on the One S9. Up front, there is an UltraPixel camera with large, 2-micron pixel, a techy specification that means that it should do better than others in low-light situations. You can take a look at the full spec sheet right below.

Price and release date
The HTC One S9 is making its official debut over at HTC Germany and it sports Europe-bound 4G LTE bands. So far, HTC has not provided any official details about US availability, so it's hard to tell whether the phone will ever make it state-side.
In Europe, the HTC One S9 price is set at €500 (the equivalent of some $566), which puts the phone firmly in upper mid-range grounds on equal footing with last year's flagship devices.
