Chap,
I don't think I agree that the 10's camera is actually BETTER than Sony Xperias' camera is, but it's much closer than it ever was before, that is for sure.
I don't know about Android being more laggy than iPhone. I guess it depends on how many apps you have, the signal strength for internet, screen brightness, etc.
Yeah Android is MUCH more customizable than iOS/iPhones are.
Cool. Well let us know what you end up gettin'! You may wanna wait a few weeks cuz HTC will be announcing the HTC 11/Ocean later this month (and I'm hearing an EARLY May release too possibly!). But if you can't then whatever. lol Again, I may or may not upgrade. I want to see the OFFICIAL specs and then I will decide.

Because of the performance,even androids getting better every year,they are still androids,more or less,every android lags,and when u re using for a longer time its even worse((except sony and htc,but even them are laggy if u compare it to iphone): so,im not sure yet,but im closer to new htc than iphone(great,but costs too much and personalisation is not near good as one on androids).

YW! Ok I C.
My sister had the M9. I thought it looked really nice and basically was the same as the M8 but better (love the 2-tone color one which is what she had........silver & gold, which was inspired by luxury watches). The only issue with the M9 IMO was the camera was really no better than the M8's was, which was inconsistently good at best. HTC was still using Toshiba camera sensors back then, which weren't the best like Sony's are. Shortly after Sony BOUGHT OUT Toshiba's camera sensor business though and did so early enough so HTC would begin using Sony's sensors on the 10 and thereafter. So that's yet ANOTHER reason to get the 10 b/c the camera sensor is better. The 10 even TIED the Samsung S7 and Sony X Performance for OVERALL camera quality on DxOMark (see link below, right side......."88"). After getting THREE major camera updates since its release, I can say the camera on the 10 is VERY GOOD TO GREAT and more consistent than past One phones were.

I was (and still slightly am) a huge fan of Sony, but like I said in my last post, they've let me down too many times. I had the Sony Xperia Z3 and it was arguably the best phone ever, but they had some kind of bug in Stamina Mode that caused issues with MMS texts in that I wouldn't always get them. You know how many times I had to embarrass myself and ask ppl to resend a text I found out they'd send but I didn't get? It soured my experience with that phone.........wasn't until I found an app called 360 Hibernation Master (which doesn't even work on ANY new phone anymore) that I got the battery life I wanted and could keep SM off, which finally fixed the problem. Had the phone 1 1 /2 years and only REALLY enjoyed the last 3-4 mos. The X Perf was a real let down b/c I realized shortly after I'd passed up the 10 last summer for the X Perf that the NEW Sony phones NO LONGER have the awesome 2-day battery life they did with the Z series. Sony doesn't even bother advertising it anymore either if you've noticed. Again, the only thing I'd say they have going for them is the camera, but it's NOT THAT much better than the 10's at all. Even now they're releasing the XZs on Wednesday for $699 and it still has the 820 chip??! Total ripoff. Wait a month for the HTC 11 and I think THAT will be an incredible phone. But honestly, I'm SO happy with my 10 I may not even upgrade this year. We'll see.
iPhone? Up to you man. I like iPhones too, but I prefer the FREEDOM you get with Android phones.
I've given you all the facts...........and see links below too. Now it's on you to decide. lol
Why HTC 10's audio is the best (aside from LG V20, which is a phablet and has its own issues): http://www.androidcentral.com/htc-10-audio-testing-boomsound-evolved (see headphone audio section and ALL bolded words)
HTC giving U.S. customers VoLTE/Wi-Fi Calling (but Sony won't cuz they're cheap): http://www.tmonews.com/2016/04/unlocked-htc-10-is-fully-compatible-with-t-mobile-including-volte-and-wi-fi-calling/

Chap1, 03 Apr 2017Is it more fluid than Sony? Thats my only question,please a... more
Hey Chap,
More fluid? I dunno if it's more fluid, but I WILL say it's at least AS FAST as my Sony Xperia X Performance was. I mean it's VERY fast and loads up everything and downloads & installs updates VERY quickly too, etc.
I sold my X Perf for the 10 for the following reasons:
1) I compared my X Perf to my $299 Oppo HA-2 amp/DAC, and it could NOT match it in terms of sound quality, but the 10 DID. Shortly after I sold off my XP AND Oppo! Now I just connect my headphones STRAIGHT to my phone. So much easier than before. Unlike the X Perf, the 10 comes with a DEDICATED DAC and DEDICATED headphone amp for incredible audio quality. Sony used to have this set up on their phones but now they've gone cheap and try to market "Hi-Res" on their phones but resolution doesn't matter, it's having great components & parts that does.
1) HTC treats its U.S. customers better, gives us a phone in the 10 that offers U.S. customers VoLTE, which I could no longer get with Sony phones b/c they're too cheap pay T-Mobile to run their certification test on their phones to make it enabled. HTC wasn't too cheap and so now my calls connect faster and are stronger b/c of VoLTE. Also, with VoLTE I'll be able to use the Band 12/700 mHz spectrum which requires VoLTE in order use it on T-Mobile's network. That means if I'm in an area that ONLY gets Band 12, with Sony I wouldn't be able to make or take calls, but with HTC I am.
3) Slightly better battery life on the 10.
4) Though the camera on the Sony is still slightly better, the 10 has gotten VERY close after 3 major camera updates were deployed to it.
5) With HTC, by buying THROUGH HTC.com, I get 1 year free Uh-Oh Protection. So I save money by cancelling my phone insurance for that year and after that I can get it back or get private insurance via like Worth Ave Group, etc.
I couldn't recommend the 10 more. And I WAS a huge Sony fan, but things have changed. With Sony I had to buy the int'l X Perf JUST to get a working fingerprint scanner. It doesn't really matter I guess cuz there are no other differences, but I'd normally prefer to get the U.S. version of a phone vs. int'l.
Hope that helps!

The htc 10 was one of the best phones on the market in the year of 2016 along with Samsung. That was before Apple came up with their stupid a10 processor chip for the iPhone 7😒. But what I like about htc is how smooth and fast the phone works and I've never had a problem with the phone either.

Nuk,
I've had the 10 for over 2 months now and I've had NONE of those issues. I wouldn't worry about it and just GET the 10 cuz it's the best phone out there right now IMHO. I LOVE my 10!!
Buy it from HTC.com if you can cuz then you get 1 year free Uh-Oh Protection and can save money by cancelling your phone insurance (if you have it), then get it again later or else get private phone insurance like I got (Google: Worth Ave Group and choose them. They cover theft too.).

AnonD-608874, 01 Apr 2017Hi ! I'm looking for a new phone ! But I'm curious about LT... moreLTE signal on my 10 is strong and just as importantly it is stable with gradual increase/decreases. WiFi signal is on the weaker side but not to the point its crippling.
Battery life is good, not bad or great but good. If you have a Quick Charge 3.0 charger around it helps considerably to top off here and there.

Hi ! I'm looking for a new phone ! But I'm curious about LTE and Wifi signal strength of HTC 10, becouse many user complain about signal strength is weak (compare to A9 , M8 and M7 ), anyone notice this issue? 10 meters and a wall will cause 2.4GHz wifi slow? And how about battery drain of surfing the internet by LTE at 40% brightness ? Thanks a lot !

I sold off my Sony Xperia X Performance phone a couple mos ago for this phone as overall I found it pretty much superior. Plus HTC treats its U.S. customers very well vs. Sony Mobile.
Yeah both those colors are great. I actually got the glacier silver one you have last summer but returned it after 1 week for the X Perf. But after several mos I realized it wasn't as great as I thought, and sold off the Sony and got the 10 in Topaz Gold like your wife has. I find it to be very classy looking vs. Samsung's S7 in Gold, which kinda looks fake (I had it for 4 mos last year). The battery life is slightly better on the 10 and the audio is MUCH better on the 10 too (see link below, esp headphone audio section and below, including all words in bold). Just an excellent phone through and through!

Just bought a new HTC 10 (arctic silver color) for equivalent of $383. Despite reaching end of it's status as a flagship I found it to be an exceptional value.
It's still a high end phone, Snapdragon 820, 4GB ram, 32GB internal+SD card, 12mp OIS and QHD screen will serve anyone's needs for the foreseeable future. Also I like the body/build better than anything I've seen come out lately which are at this point double the price for not much more purpose.
My wife has one since release (gold color) and it's been beaten up and taken much abuse yet works flawlessly and flies with Android Nougat 7.0. This is one the most underrated phones of 2016 and will be a reliable workhorse in 2017 and beyond in my honest opinion.
