Images of HTC’s rumored smartphone codenamed ‘Aero’ aka One A9 have now been leaked online. These leaked images showcase the handset in different color variants and gives us a better idea about its design, which surprisingly looks like the latest-gen iPhones given the Taiwanese manufacturer’s reputation who is rather known for pushing the boundaries of smartphone design.
