Souq.com, the Middle East’s largest online retail and marketplace platform, has announced the launch of HTC One X9 dual sim, the city-smart phone loaded with top tier features and a long-lasting battery life. Beautifully crafted all metal smartphone with silky soft finishes and professionally tuned camera, HTC One X9 dual sim is now available on Souq.com via two striking offers; unbundled product at AED 1,599 with 100 AED Souq.com voucher and bundled product at AED 1,599 with wireless headphones and 9000 mAh powerbank. 

 

Taking cues from the HTC’s metalmorphics philosophy, which draws on the natural beauty around us by using rich, striking colors and unique finishes, the HTC One X9 uses a new technique to pull through the look and feel of high end silk with its fine texture, creating a softer, warmer and more luxurious finish to the phone.

 

Ronaldo Mouchawar, Souq.com CEO & Co-Founder states, “At Souq.com, we pride ourselves in bringing globally revered brands to our consumers and HTC has built its reputation on pairing industry-leading design with smart features. Today, smartphones have become a part of one’s personal style. The HTC One X9 dual sim embodying style and high-tech performance into a silky-smooth design is set to enjoy great success in the UAE with one of the highest smartphone penetration rates in the world. We are delighted to provide our Souq.com customers access to the latest and trending smartphones exclusively at the click of a button.”

Nikitas Glykas, President, HTC MEA comments, “Elegant, stylish and ergonomic smartphone design is an essential element for consumers today and HTC One X9 dual sim strikes the right balance between style and superior performance. The HTC One X9 dual sim draws on rich colors and unique finishes, combining them with a lightweight, slender metal design and larger screen for those who want a premium smartphone experience. We are excited to launch the newest member of the award-winning HTC One family - the HTC One X9 dual sim in the UAE with Souq.com, who has a proven track record of successfully bringing world-leading international brands exclusively to this market.”

At just 75.9mm, its glass curved front and finely honed corners make it one of the most slender handsets in its class. A 5.5-inch Full HD screen with personalized color mode and rich display not only delivers the optimal multimedia experience, but also means that it is a phone you are proud to show off and carry around. The phone is available in two colors to choose from - Carbon Grey and Opal Silver.

 

The hugely popular HTC Dot View™ II case adds the final design touch to the HTC One X9 dual sim, fully enabling the beauty of this phone to shine through.

Capturing beauty from both behind and in front of the lens

Working tirelessly to deliver an unparalleled experience, the camera quality on the HTC One X9 dual sim is one of the best in its class. By precision engineering two cameras, one front and one back, and a selection of image-enhancing features, the HTC One X9 dual sim enables you to capture breathtaking shots every time and from every angle. Combining the 13MP rear camera with its second-generation Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) and Real-time anti-shake functionality, and the front facing 5MP camera, with integrated Auto Selfie, Voice Selfie and Live Make Up, you can shoot clear, sharp, smooth images of the highest quality regardless of who is behind the lens.

 

RAW format’s one button enhancement feature automatically brightens colors and sharpens edges with one push, and other imaging tools commonly used by professional photographers such as Pro Mode and an advance manual control, add the finishing touches what is already one of the best cameras in its class. Video buffs will have their inner film director inspired by 4K video resolution and Hyperlapse mode will equip you to create dramatic time-lapse effects.

 

Dynamic range of sound: HTC BoomSoundTM
Never compromising on audio, and with the knowledge that most people listen to music on their smartphone, the HTC One X9 dual sim creates larger than life audio, delivered by HTC BoomSoundTM with Dolby™ Surround. Integrated amplifiers bring out the best of your music and provide an even more dynamic range of sound.

 

Software to stand out: Android 6.0 Marshmallow

Premium smartphone hardware demands the best software to support performance and the HTC One X9 dual sim uses the latest Android 6.0 Marshmallow features for the best user experience. Google Now on Tap intuitively provides information about whatever is on your screen by holding the home button. Google Backup for Apps automatically backs up app data it to all capable Android-powered devices.
