I have always had a soft spot for HTC.
On the other hand, I’ve never been impressed with HTC’s mid-range offerings.
I’ve rarely seen a phone from HTC or any other manufacturer for that matter that meets this criteria.
The One X9 is a classic example of a mid-range handset.
It’s not a terrible phone, but it’s simply too expensive.
The design looks busy.
I really dislike obvious misaligned elements, and the HTC One X9 has several of those.
HTC hasn’t shown this here, which leads to a sloppy design.
There are some positive aspects though.
Perhaps this is to protect the body to a greater extent.
I like the inclusion of stereo front facing speakers, in spite of how they look.
Below the display is a row of capacitive navigation buttons in the correct order with the correct Android functions.
This keeps the display free of on-screen buttons for maximum screen real estate.
There are two slots on the One X9 on opposite sides.
