HTC One S9 With 5-Inch Display, MediaTek Helio X10 SoC Launched

TL;DR

• The HTC One S9 is listed on the company's Germany website.
• The smartphone looks like the One M9 and is priced at EUR 449.
• HTC One S9's availability details are not yet known.

HTC this year with the launch of its HTC 10 smartphone appeared set to ditch the 'One' moniker it has been using for its last three flagships. However, the Taiwanese company appears to be keeping the 'One' series alive for mid-range smartphones by introducing theHTC One S9. The new metal-clad smartphone is listed for EUR 499 (roughly Rs. 33,700) on the company's Germany website without any availability details.

Talking about the design, the HTC One S9 features nearly the same design as last year's One M9. While the back panel looks similar, there is a slight change at the front. The One S9 now features two speaker slits instead of the grille seen on the One M9. The front-facing camera and sensor placement remains the same.

As for the specifications, the HTC One S9 features a 5-inch full-HD (1080x1920 pixels) resolution Super LCD display with Gorilla Glass protection and a pixel density of 443ppi. The Android 6.0 Marshmallow-based smartphone runs HTC Sense UI on top and packs a 64-bit octa-core MediaTek Helio X10 processor clocked at 2GHz, clubbed with 2GB of RAM.

The HTC One S9 houses 16GB of inbuilt storage, which can be expanded via microSD card (up to 2TB). On the camera front, the handset sports a 13-megapixel autofocus rear camera with BSI sensor, OIS, f/2.0 aperture and LED flash, along with a front-facing 4-Ultrapixel fixed focus BSI sensor with 2um pixels, and f/2.0 aperture.

The 4G LTE-enabled HTC One S9 also supports Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac, Bluetooth v4.1, NFC, Miracast, GPS, A-GPS, and Micro-USB for connectivity. Measuring 144.6x69.7x10.09mm, the mid-range smartphone is backed by a 2840mAh battery, which is rated to deliver up to 13 hours of talk time and 658 hours of standby time on 3G networks. Needless to say, the One S9 also comes with the iconic Boomsound audio technology clubbed with Dolby Audio.

Sony Cyber-Shot RX10 III Super-Zoom Camera Launched at Rs. 1,14,990

TL;DR

• The Cyber-shot RX10 III eatures a 25x optical zoom (24-600mm).
• It has a 20.1-mgeapixel CMOS sensor and Bionz X image processor.
• The super-zoom camera will be available from Friday.

After recently launching the A6300 mirrorless camera in India, Sony has launched the Cyber-Shot RX10 III super-zoom camera at a price of Rs. 1,14,990. The company announced this model a month ago for the US market and you'll now be able to pick one up in India, when it goes on sale from Friday.

The Sony Cyber-shot RX10 III features a 20.1-megapixel stacked CMOS sensor and is powered by Sony's Bionz X image processor. The main highlight however is the new 24-600mm zoom lens (Vario-Sonnar T 24-600mm F2.4 - F4) which provides 25x optical zoom. The extended zoom lens features a total of 8 ED glass elements to minimise chromatic aberration and enhance picture quality.

The ISO sensitivity range on the Sony Cyber-shot RX10 III is 64-12,800 while the burst mode tops out at 14fps. The latter is possible thanks to a speedy DRAM chip placed at the rear of the sensor which is able to process large amounts of data very quickly. Due to this, the RX10 III can shoot super slow-motion video footage at 240fps, 480fps, and an incredible 960fps.

The new camera also adds several improvements to the body compared to its predecessors. You now have triple lens rings for precise adjustment of the focus, zoom, and aperture. The hand-grip has also been modified for better stability and a dedicated button to lock the focus. You also get 4K video recording support, an Oled electronic viewfinder with a resolution of 2.35 million dots, dust and water resistance, as well as wireless connectivity in the form of Wi-Fi and NFC.
