Fans of HTC One A9 have something to cheer about. HTC has announced earlier this week that the device is now available for pre-orders. Interested buyers can process their pre-orders via the company's official website, HTC.com.
It was noted that the device is expected to arrive in early November. As soon as the device is available, mobile carriers and retailers will likely announce their own pricing, a report from iDigital Times said.
"Those preordering the HTC One A9 now can get the device at a discount, as HTC is offering a limited time introductory price of $399.99. There is no word on what the HTC One A9 will cost outside of this price. In addition to carrier models for AT&T, T-Mobile and Sprint, the HTC One A9 will be available in an unlocked model, featuring an unlocked SIM and bootloder. The device can be made compatible with Verizon through a software update, which will hit after launch," the report said.
