We may not see this in the U.S. but worth keeping an eye on. What do you guys think?

HTC ONE X9 is official (MSRP $432)

HTC ONE X9
5.5 inch 1080P
Metal body
Mediatek X10 Octa-core processor
3 GB RAM
3 GB RAM
32 GB storage
MicroSD slot
3,000 mAh battery
13 MP camera with OIS
5 MP front camera f 2.0

On the surface, the One X9 borrows the design language that the manufacturer debuted on the HTC One A9, but not without a good amount of differences. While the One A9 was instantly criticized as an iPhone 6 clone, the One X9 introduces a fair share of new elements on top of a similar aluminum body.

The front of the phone is dominated by a 5.5-inch IPS display running at a resolution of 1080 by 1920 pixels. Under the panel, HTC has placed a trio of capacitive buttons. This may seem a bit off given that HTC's recent flagships have all adopted on-screen navigational buttons, but capacitive buttons are currently appreciated in Asian markets, which appears to be HTC's target with the One X9. The design of the speakers, which appear to be carved in the upper and lower bezels, is another interesting design choice that HTC adopted with the One X9.

If it comes to Verizon I'd give it a try. I'm really tired of Verizon locking down the Samsung devices, and the current HTC M9 has it's fair share of flaws. The Nexus devices in the 5" range have terrible specs too.

No black bar! So why couldn't they do this with all their previous phones?
Haha, first thing I thought too! Finally! Still too big for my taste (rocking a Z5 Compact now, came from a M8). The M7 had perfect size. I'm not gonna bother with anything bigger ever again.
