After the One M9, One E9 and One E9 +, the manufacturer is preparing to formalize a new model, called One E9st for the occasion, which should logically be more affordable than other versions “E9″ but also less efficient and equipped with less high-end components.
Unknown until now, the One E9st just appeared in the TENAA, the Chinese certification body. This latest certification allows us to glimpse the possibility of an announcement in the coming weeks or even a few days. It is difficult to say at this time if HTC will market its new smartphone in several countries or whether it is open only to Chinese market.
Echoing the design of other products of HTC, the One E9st however devoid of fingerprint sensor. However, it maintains two speaker grilles and does not include any touch button. Note however that unlike the One E9, E9 + and M9, the speaker grilles are more discrete and webcam is not located on the same side. A slight design change intended to clarify that the unit is not located in the same market segment?
In terms of specs, the One E9st, although more affordable, however, should keep Octa-Core processor clocked at 2 GHz not but rather at 1.5 GHz. It will also be satisfied with 16 GB of flash memory (with a Micro SD slot) and 2 GB of RAM. Finally, with the HTC would One E9st a back camera 13 Mpixels and a webcam UltraPixel (4 Mpix).
A data sheet very close to that of the One E9 if one does not take into account the lowering of the speed of the processor, but the big difference between the two is probably at the screen. While the One E9 incorporates a Full HD panel 5.5 “, the One E9st dons, as to him, a screen 5.5″ HD, a much lower resolution.
We do not know for the time, when and at what price will be formalized the One E9st nor in which countries it will be available but it is highly likely to be quickly formalized by HTC, enough to remove doubt on these few aspects.
