HTC Aero, a Hero Smartphone to get Excited About?

The HTC One M9 has been something of a flop, under-selling despite actually being a stellar smartphone that is good looking and well spec’d. The handset has failed to ignite with the consumer base like previous models, but HTC has confirmed it will launch another hero device this year and according to Evan Blass (he of @evleaks fame) it will be called the HTC Aero.

The device is expected to arrive in October and other reports are talking up the Aero up as a fantastic smartphone, one that recalls HTC’s reputation for bleeding edge design (ala the One M7). In terms of specs, HTC is expected to go all out and deck the Aero with the best hardware that is available at its launch. That will include such goodies as 4GB of RAM, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 820, a Quad HD display, and an improved camera.
