Another perspective
HTC 10 was one of the best smartphones in 2016. Unfortunately, its potential was killed by an unreasonably high price. Now it costs like a mid-range Chinese smartphone and looks quite attractive.
Super LCD screen with 2K resolution
Externally, the HTC 10 is the illegitimate son of the HTC One M8 and A9. The 5.2-inch model looks big enough, but that's not such a problem — the phone looks stylish. Although, formally, it is not considered "frameless", the thickness of the side frames is quite consistent with current requirements. The signature rounded metal back panel looks great. Although it sticks out of the case by a few millimetres, adding unnecessary thickness to it. As for the screen, the smartphone has an excellent Super LCD panel with a high resolution of 2560x1440 pixels.
A thousand little things
In terms of connections and functionality, we have a completely modern set of a fingerprint scanner (built into the Home button), a USB-C port with support for fast charging (50% in half an hour), an audio chip with Hi-Res Audio and NFC support for contactless payments.
One of the best camera phones of 2017
Plus, the HTC 10 boasts a very decent 12 MP camera with a large 1/2.3 sensor, optical stabilization and laser focus. It’s not for nothing that specialists from the authoritative DxOMark resource called 2017 a breakthrough year for mobile photography, and they named the HTC 10 one of the best camera phones of the year. It has a final 88 points, which look more than decent even by today’s standards.
Quad-core Snapdragon processor
Perhaps the most controversial part of the HTC 10 is its hardware. On the one hand, there are quite decent 4 GB of RAM and 32 GB of built-in storage with support for memory cards. On the other hand, we have the once flagship Snapdragon 820 chip (4 cores at 2.2 GHz), which in terms of power is comparable to the current state employee Snapdragon 636. As the basis of the system, it is quite good, but its gaming capabilities are not the best. Yes, and the support of modern goodies like artificial intelligence that controls the camera and battery power would not be superfluous.
