Weekly poll results: HTC Bolt takes a beating

The new HTC Bolt took a beating - only 7% of voters believe this is the flagship that will put HTC back on track. About a third say they’ll stick to the HTC 10 while more than half the voters are looking elsewhere for the perfect 5.5” phone.

Perhaps the memory of HTC One M9’s overheating issues are still fresh in people’s memory. The Snapdragon 810 chipset inside the Bolt is most likely a new revision, but an HTC 10 costs $550 and it has Snapdragon 820, so there’s no reason for the Bolt to cost $600 and have such an old chipset.

Now, the Bolt is exclusive to Sprint and people may be getting worked up over nothing - HTC still hasn’t confirmed the “HTC 10 evo” rumors, an international release of the Bolt. And seeing the cold reception, we wonder if a “10 evo” will ever materialize.
