HTC is planning to release a new smartphone on October 20^th and a model has just been spotted passing through the FCC and GFC, all but confirming that the HTC One A9 is heading to the US.

According to the listings, there appear to be three HTCOne A9 models on the way. There’s what looks to be an international version sporting various network bands and the 2PQ9100 model number, which might be called the A9u. There’s also a 2PQ9120 variant which supports LTE bands 2,4,5,7 and 12, which are commonly used by US carriers. A third 2PQ9300 model supports LTE bands 25 and 26 additionally, which are both specific to the Sprint network.

The FFC and GFC listings are light on other details, but the latter also confirms that the smartphone will be known as the HTCOne A9.

The HTCOne A9 has leaked a few times already in the past month and it looks to be a mid-range handset. The last rumor pinned the phone on a Snapdragon 617 SoC, a 5-inch 1080p AMOLED display, 2 GB of RAM, 16 GB of internal storage, and a 13 MP camera, although things may have changed since then.

The handset is likely to be unveiled at HTC’s launch event on October 20^th. Are you looking forward to the official announcement?
