The HTC One X9 certainly delivers on both fronts.”

Shoot like a pro
The camera on the HTC One X9 is one of the best in its class, enabling superior imaging both day and night.  Through the precision engineering of its two cameras, as well as a selection of image-enhancing features, the device allows you to capture breathtaking shots from any angle. The 13MP main camera, with OIS (Optical Image Stabilisation), features an anti-shake lens that reduces blur from hand movements while you shoot.  The front facing 5MP camera includes integrated Auto Selfie, Voice Selfie and Live Make Up capability, delivering high-quality selfies with ease.

To add that professional touch to your pictures, RAW format’s one button enhancement feature automatically brightens colours and sharpens edges with one push.  Additional imaging tools such as Pro Mode and an advance manual control add the finishing touches to what is already one of the best cameras in its class.

And if you see yourself as more director than photographer, take inspiration from the 4K video resolution and Hyperlapse mode, which will allow you to create dramatic time-lapse effects and make those special moments last longer.

Cinematic Surround Sound
The HTC One X9 takes listening to the next level by delivering cinematic surround sound through HTC BoomSound with Dolby Surround™, delivering clearer vocals, better base and fine detail for music, movies and games – the ultimate audio experience!  The integrated and dedicated amplifiers deliver a dynamic range of sound, while HTC’s proprietary membrane excursion direct control optimizes volume and bass to make your music thump.
