HTC One A9 set to be world’s most wanted

According a benchmarking source, the Helio X20 SoC present in HTC One A9 is effortlessly able to zip past Exynos 7420, which was expected otherwise the deca-core processor would have been an absolutely useless chip. The A72 cores run at 2.5GHz.

It is the largest processor in the industry right now, surpassing Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 810 and Nvidia’s Tegra K1.

Hardware specs for HTC’s so-called Aero phone have leaked online – and it sounds like it’s on course to become the world’s most powerful handset. Past leaks showed a 2,560 x 1,440 resolution display, but that was for the HTC Aero/Hero, not the HTC One A9. There are two Cortex-A72 cores running inside Helio X20, which will easily make short work of the four Cortex-A57 cores present in Samsung’s mobile chipset.

This combination is a set up that will reportedly optimize power usage for better battery life, the article said.

Have you been following news of the HTC One A9, aka Aero /HTC A9? It’s unlikely that software has been designed with deca-core CPUs in mind.

The One A9 will also have Android Marshmallow, the successor to Android 5 Lollipop, pre-installed when it hits markets this month.

The whole benchmark could have been a fake, as we’ve seen time and time again from these sites, but HTC has an event planned for September 29.

Confusion still reigns over all the info about the smartphone’s screen for the moment, but as we’re getting closer to launch we expect more details to emerge.

HTC has released quite a few high-end devices this year, starting back in March with the company’s official flagship, the HTC One M9.
