There are a few things keeping this from being a "Google-free" alternative to the Pixel XL.

Raphi7, 11 Nov 2016I think its because this isn't a flagship, and maybe its no... moreWell it seems that they made the device Global now with the same old chipset. I swear HTC needs a new head at the top. Why can't they just hear what the public has to say and also take a Note from whee the market (competitors) are heading. What is this device competing against?
Best camera: No
Best Speakers: No
Best Screen: No
Best body: Up for debate
Best Processor: Definitely Not
Best Software Integration: Nope
Best Price/Value: No, No, No

Overall a phone that has nothing new or compelling to offer yet is priced at the top.

      I think Bolt is running backwards with this phone. snapdragon 810? The one that was an overheating disaster? Oh yeah, no audio jack and no front speaker too.

              Without the old HTC front speakers, this one looks like a Samsung on the front. :-/

I only HTC phones as my main gadgets these days they got me thinking of other brands. It would been a lot better if they never made Bolt, or at least give s820 I would manage to get it cos my big phablet is the old one Max....

                Hmmmmm....I'm giving them a last chance HTC 11 or Ocean as tipster calls it, if that messes up that will be a goodbye HTC....

                  Too many goddamn 5.5" phablets on the market! Make a 4.5" or something reasonable and we'll talk.

                        Just Me, 11 Nov 2016Snapdragon 810 with ip rating = perfect combination.. whene... moreThat's such a good one!

                          First HTC removes their exceptional feature—front-facing speakers and brings a physical home button together with huge bezels. Now a company that's so well known for their phone audio quality removes 3.5 mm headphone jack. Wow, I'm truly impressed by such upgrades, no HTC for me anymore!

                            HTC 10, m9+ ,m9 > bolt . Also there are others flagship phones of 2016 below the bolts high price. I.e. including headphone jack too.

                                The SD830 is coming out soon. Why not wait for that???

                                  HTC Desire 10 Lifestyle launched 2 months back had SD400 now this has SD810. Every company has latest chipset or atleast tries to have, HTC is moving backwards

                                    Now, why do they have to go and do something as stupid as the S810. And they had to drag Bolts name all over their mediocrity!!

                                      SD810... of course Sprint would team up with HTC to move backwards.
