As PhoneArena.com revealed, "Initially believed to be a high-end smartphone, the unannounced HTC One X9 will likely be just a mid-range device, or at least that's what the latest details about it are leading us to believe."

Reliable sources familiar to HTC denied initial reported HTC One X9 specifications, even revealing the true specifications of the still unannounced HTC One X9.

In three consecutive tweets, LlabTooFer rejected initial phone specs reported by detailing it one by one. The first tweet denies rumors that HTC One X9 will be integrated with the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 820, and higher RAM and ROM:

This was followed with its second part denying a high 23-megapixel camera and a powerful 3,500 mAh battery:

Finally, LlabTooFer revealed that HTC One X9 is being positioned to be released Q1 of 2016. LlabTooFer also revealed that HTC's 2016 flagship smartphone HTC One M10 will be released 2-3 months after HTC One X9.
