Based on a slew of leaks, we’re expecting the One A9 (which has been code-named Aero) to look very much like the iPhone 6S with mid-range specs. It could sport a 5-inch display with a resolution of 1080p (1920 x 1080), an octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 617 processor, 2GB of RAM, and a 13-megapixel rear camera. We’ll know soon.

Although it’s a mid-range device, the One A9 could be one of the first non-Nexus phones to debut with Android 6.0 Marshmallow. It could also sport even faster charging via Qualcomm’s Quick Charge 3.0.

The HTC One A9 is expected to be the star of the show, but it is certainly possible that HTC might have a few other surprises up its corporate sleeve. Could the much anticipated Vive virtual reality headset make an appearance?

Will your Apple Watch get WatchOS 9? Here are the compatible models

Car crash detection on Apple Watch Series 8.

Apple took the stage at its annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) on June 6 to unveil WatchOS 9, the next big update to the operating system for the Apple Watch. Following several months in beta, WatchOS 9 was officially made available on September 12, along with the Apple Watch Series 8.

This also marks the first time in two years that Apple is dropping support for an older Apple Watch model in a new WatchOS release. The Apple Watch Series 3, which made its debut alongside the iPhone 7 in 2017, isn’t making the cut this year. So, if you plan to upgrade to WatchOS 9, you’ll need an Apple Watch Series 4 or later. This includes the Apple Watch SE, released alongside the Apple Watch Series 6 in 2020. Let's take a closer look.

OnePlus 9 RT with Snapdragon 888 could launch in India soon with a new name

OnePlus 9RT leaked in silver color option showing the camera module of the smartphone.

From merging back into parent company Oppo to fusing OxygenOS into Oppo's ColorOS to deviating its focus from flagships, OnePlus has undergone many alterations that haven't always been the best for customers. One of the more disappointing ones was OnePlus skipping the OnePlus 9T to focus on the OnePlus 10 instead. However, it is bringing a successor to the OnePlus 9R, which willo be limited to India and China. The OnePlus 9RT was launched in China last month, and several leaks suggest it is now headed to India.

The smartphone was recently listed on the Google Play Console, as spotted by tipster Mukul Sharma (better known as Stufflistings), and has the same specs as the Chinese variant. The only thing that appears to have changed is the name of the smartphone. Instead of its original launch name, the phone is referred to as OnePlus RT, suggesting a rebrand for its launch outside China.
