HTC may not be among the companies announcing a big new flagship at IFA this week, but that doesn’t mean that we’re not expecting some fresh hardware from the company soon. Most recently we’ve been talking about this handset that may emerge as HTC’s fall flagship, the phone identified just the other day as the One A9. While some rumors suggested that we could still be a month or so away from HTC going official with the phone, a new teaser has us wondering if the manufacturer’s plans are much more accelerated, as a message distributed over Chinese social media advises users of a September 6 launch event.

The imagery employed in the teaser doesn’t do much to help us identify the phone in question, and the text refers to the handset only as MengYao – or “superior handsomeness.” And while that may speak to HTC’s enthusiasm for the phone’s design, does that necessarily make this the One A9? Well, even without a strong connection, that’s the model we’re expecting to see HTC introduce next, and the timing alone is enough to suggest that this is indeed that handset.

Even with this event coming up in just days, there’s no guarantee that we’ll get international launch news, and HTC could very well share word of its One A9 plans for Southeast Asia independently of those abroad. For what it’s worth, we’re very much expecting the One A9 to come to the States, but we’re just not yet sure if that launch announcement similarly only days away.
