Back in December, HTC has officially announced mid-range One X9 smartphone, which was now re-announced at the Mobile World Congress 2016. The handset is expected to reach markets in North Asia, Europe, the Middle East and the rest of Asia by the end of this month.

The mid-range smartphone comes with a beautiful metal body that houses a 5.5-inch 1080p display, MediaTek Helio X10 chipset with an octa-core processor, 3 GB of RAM, 32 GB of expandable storage, dual-SIM slots and a 3,000 mAh battery. There is a 13 MP rear camera with OIS, and a 5 MP front shooter with f/2.0 lens. The phone also supports fast charging, but not the latest 5V/2 format.

The company didn't reveal any details on pricing, but the phone retails in China for around $370.
