The camera has an advanced manual mode to let you play with the aperture, ISO, lighting as you shoot those lovely images. You can store those images, apps and multimedia on the 32 GB internal storage or add a MicroSD card of up to 2TB if you are a media hoarder.
The HTC A9 has a fingerprint scanner on the front enable you unlock and make payments through the Marshmallow API. Speaking of Android Marshmallow, much as the A9 has Android 6.0 with HTC Sense, HTC says this phone will recieve android updates 15 days after the Nexus phones receive an update.
