Smartphones are, in my opinion, in something of an innovation rut. Underlying technical advancements have slowed in the last couple of years, and reasons to upgrade from year to year seem to decrease with each new generation of device. That’s in large part because smartphones are already, generally speaking, very good products.
Meet HTC 10. The smartphone crafted with obsession. You get unprecedented control. Off the chart performance. And innovations like the world’s first dual OIS for pro level photos front and back, as well as end-to-end 24-bit Hi-Res sound. We’re redefining what a flagship phone is truly meant to be. And think you’ll love the result.

THE POWER OF 10
HTC 10. It’s more of what you’re looking for in a flagship phone. Unparalleled performance. Superb 24-bit Hi-Res sound. The world’s first* Optical Image Stabilization in both front and back cameras. And one of the highest smartphone camera rankings ever from DxOMark. All in a beautifully crafted metal unibody.
Next generation camera
HTC 10 delivers what may well be the best smartphone camera available today. With innovations like the world’s first OIS front and back, 12 million UltraPixels, faster laser autofocus and more. A DxOMark score of 88*, one of the highest camera quality scores of any smartphone so far, shows we’re definitely on the right track.Made to last and last
Every part of HTC 10 has been optimized from the ground up to run more efficiently. Giving you up to 2 days* of use. It also stays cooler while charging faster than ever – up to 50% in just 30 minutes – enough for a day on the go.Full Specification of HTC 10

THE GOOD OF HTC 10
| Camera | The M9’s camera was… kind of terrible. The 10’s fixes most of the issues and provides a genuinely competitive imaging system once again, even if I wouldn’t call it world-class. The new camera app is also just great, in my opinion. |
| Battery life | At least as good as the Snapdragon 820 S7 I’ve been using, and considerably better than the G5. HTC did something right here, at least for my particular smartphone use case. |
| Software | Probably the most “stock” looking Android HTC has ever shipped, and with few unnecessary apps. HTC’s also usually fast on OS updates, but they haven’t renewed the whole 15-day OS update promise from the A9 for the 10. |
| Design | This looks, feels, and smells like an HTC product. In a good way. This refinement on the original M7’s design language is, to my eyes, the kind of clean, metallic image I hoped for in HTC’s future. Granted, we kind of wanted this two years ago, but whatever. Now we have it! |
| Free accidental damage coverage | HTC’s UH OH protections offers one-time coverage for cracked screens or water damage, good for 12 months from purchase. 24 would be nice, but free is free. |
| Bootloader | If you’re still flashing ROMs and getting hacky with it in 2016, HTC will sell you the unlocked 10 with an unlockable bootloader, and unlocking the bootloader doesn’t even necessarily void your warranty. |
