HTC had announced the One A9 last week for $399.99 but apparently this is just a limited period offer and the price of the phone will increase by $100 starting November 7.
So the HTC One A9 will be available for $399.99 for another two weeks after which it will be priced at $499.99 from November 7. In the UK, the One A9’s price is set at £429.99, that translates to around $660.
The cost of the HTC One A9 is the same worldwide to all distributors and operator partners. For end consumers, HTC’s sales regions are given the freedom to set prices and promotions as they see fit for local market needs. The One A9 price in the US is a very limited-time promotional offer for that region’s online store, as well as select HTC-only franchise stores. The offer is a special promotional pre-sale and is expected to conclude once the One A9 is available on-shelf at major retail and distributor partners. After the promotional pre-sale offer ends, the new price in the US at htc.com will be $499.99 beginning 12:01 a.m. on 11/7.”
