HTC and its latest smartphone, the One A9 have been accused of copying the iPhone 6 design even though HTC begs to differ. But now, HTC has a brand new advertising campaign that seems very similar to Apple’s “Be Different” commercial. The 90-second commercial titled “Be Brilliant”, stars a young runner is portrayed in a dystopian-like world where everything is white and clean, which to some seems Apple-like. Some even point out that the runner can be seen kicking a bunch of white apples to make a point, Is that a stab at Apple ? The commercial tries to inspire smartphone owners to “Be Different. Be Loud. Be Inspired. Be Free. Be Brilliant,” as the tagline suggests, sounds kinda familiar does it ? What do you think ?
HTC’s new iPhone like phone is here. The One A9 packs a 5-inch 1080p display, and is powered by an octa-core Snapdragon 617 processor. It also has a 13-megapixel camera on its back with an f/2.0 aperture and optical image stabilization, and a 4-megapixel UltraPixel camera on its front. In the U.S., the One A9 will come with 3GB of RAM and 32GB of storage as standard. European customers will also get a more affordable option with 2GB of RAM and 16GB of storage. Both devices will have microSD card slots to expand your storage. You’ll be able to pre-order the One A9 from HTC’s online store later today if you live in the U.S. Prices start at $399.99, and the device will be available in opal silver and carbon gray, with garnet red and topaz gold options coming later on.
