HTC 10 review: Greatest hit

02 May, 2016
The HTC 10 is everything an HTC fan has been longing for. A full smartphone package experience without compromise. The problem with this idea is that it doesn’t exist, there will always be some phone with a better camera or better battery or a larger display. But we can always look at this idea subjectively and find the right balance between what the phone offers versus compromises you might be making.

    As expected, everything HTC said are lies.

    Battery life sucks

    Bad camera

    Slow phone ( speed test in youtube videos)

    And not to mention, ugly and thick design.

    With a phone this thick, battery life still sucks, camera bump still present. What the fuck?

    Htc is meant to fail

      AnonD-533123, 03 May 2016I agree. The figures on the audio seem way off for the buil... moreOnly z5 premium is comparable in audio quality. But htc went mono this time while sony remains stereo....
      Such a shame.
      Search youtube real life tests and see

        Annnd...not so impressed.
        Batterylife :-(

          Those battery stats are like ...
          . Wow

            "Thankfully, you can disable both of these features from waking the phone up." thats the most absurd thing to say..when you buy a phone you don't just disable stuff so that it will work..

                did not see any review where battery life is shown to be better on HTC M10 compared to S7.

                  Can you please confirm if the camera pictures were taken with the new camera update software or straight out the box with no updates?

                        [deleted post]I read that section of the review differently; I thought the reviewer was simply saying that they were pleased the branding was so simple and subtle, rather than cluttered with model number etc.

                                Maybe this is a prerelease unit? Than again, GSMArena always states if it is.

The figures on the audio seem way off for the built in DAC and capabilities of the audio on the 10... I saw an early review that someone did where the 10 got WAY better numbers than this review. Something isn't right here. The 10 should easily beat the G5 and GS7 in the audio catagory.

                                    I love GSMArena, but this review here seems slightly rushed.

                                    Where are the charts that show the display sepcs and where is the overall opinion of the cameras quality (Like a summary)? I think whoever reviewed this phone is a new reviewer to GSMArena. It's still a great review overall but you can tell the format of this review is much different than typical reviews. Also this review was done in Florida so this must be someone new to the team. Overall, the phone is still great and I will be making my decision soon between this, the G5, and the S7 Edge.

                                      really disappointed with the battery life test results and audio quality. hoped for more. audio quality is vital. seems m8 still has upper hand in that category m

                                        HTC did well but they have to try more strong because Samsung is making good innovations and if you are a company that lost a lot of clients because you're launching to the market foolish cellphones, and then you try to renovate you have to put down your prices because is the only way you will growth, remember you have lost the trust of your fans, I used to have an M8 but now I'm going to Huawei P9
