For the October 20 event, Google has also started sending press invite that said, "Meet the Marshmallow from HTC," tipping that HTC's upcoming device (or devices) will be running the latest Android OS. Notably, HTC's launch event will be live-streamed on the company's official website. The HTC event will kick off at 12pm ET (translating to 9:30 PM IST).

HTC this year has again followed its tradition over years of first announcing the latest Android update release time-frame for its devices, publishing a list of devices that will receive the Android 6.0 Marshmallow update.

Many would already know that HTC was one of the first handset OEMs to announce Android 4.4 KitKat and Android 5.0 Lollipop rollout plans for its smartphones, and the Taiwanese giant has again lived up to its reputation.

HTC to host launch event on 20 October; Android Marshmallow powered One A9 to make de

Taiwanese smartphone maker HTC has reportedly confirmed to host an event later this month. The company, via a Twitter poster, revealed that it will have a streaming live webcast of the event (HERE).

Though there is no hint of what device HTC has in store for us, the cryptic Twitter message does disclose that it will be the first Android Marshmallow-based phone, which many believe to be the long rumoured One A9.

It will be the world's first non-Nexus phone to run on the Android 6.0 OS out-of-the-box.

As far as the internal hardware is concerned, it is unlikely to be a flagship. Instead, a mid-range smartphone, which is expected to house new Snapdragon 617 series SoC (System on Chip), and will be backed by 2GB RAM, Adreno 405 graphics engine, 16GB inbuilt memory, and a 2,150 mAh battery.

It is also expected to house a 13mp camera on the rear-side with OIS (Optical Image Stabilisation) and a four-ultrapixel snapper on the front side.

Other noteworthy features include a 5.0-inch full HD display and a finger-print sensor on the home button.
If Twitter spy Evan Blass (@evleaks) is to be believed, HTC One A9 will be offered in six colour options - acid gold, opal silver, deep garnet, carbon grey, rose gold and cast iron.
