HTC 10

Every year phone manufacturers make the ultimate attempt at creating the perfect smartphone. HTC is no different and in 2016 presents us the 10, its version of a full smartphone package experience without compromise.It is inclded on top 10 smartphone of 2016.

HTC has come up with such a wonderful phone with neat features. Just the basics and improved on those a lot! HTC 10 Configured by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 820 quad-core SoC with two Kyro cores clocked at 2.15GHz & two Kyro cores clocked at just 1.6 GHz is the first CPU for which Qualcomm finally decided they didn't need more cores but better ones, The new chipset is paired 4GB of RAM, and 32GB or flash storage, with it are the Adreno 530 GPU.The latest version of Sense UI is HTC’s cleanest and borrows many elements from a stock version of Android. This makes the whole Android experience much smoother and more cohesive.

The HTC 10 not only looks great, it also feels great. In the hand, it's substantial and pleasantly heavy in a way that few phones are. From the chamfered edges on the back, through the solid aluminum body, the 10 is a smartphone with style. And it's also cleverly engineered.First off, this phone is clearly made from metal and proud of it. The back is cool to the touch. The HTC 10 has separate trays on either side for a microSD card (up to 2TB) and a SIM. The volume and power buttons are well crafted with good tactile feedback, and the latter gets additional ridges to help you locate it by touch. The 3.5mm headphone socket is on the top while the USB Type-C port and speaker are on the bottom. The Type-C port on the HTC 10 supports USB 3.1 Gen 1 speeds so you can take advantage of faster data transfers.The pill-shaped, capacitive Home button on the chin of the HTC 10 doubles up as a fingerprint scanner.HTC could have placed the scanner a little higher on the bottom bezel for easier access , that thing is very fast, and absolutely spot on with accuracy.

HTC 10 is going with Category 9 LTE speeds for most Indian 4G bands, Bluetooth 4.2, NFC, dualband Wi-Fi b/g/n/ac, USB OTG, and GPS. There is no FM radio.There's no IR blaster, but the plastic that sits on the top of the device enhances antenna connectivity. Call quality is rather excellent, with clear audio from the earpiece. We found that the phone doesn't overheat during regular use but it does get noticeably hot when using the camera.

The company had to compensate with a larger, 3,000mAh battery, In everyday usage, you can expect the HTC 10 to handle anywhere between a day/day-and-ahalf, depending on how much you stress the device. If it's just light browsing and some IM here and there, no games, you can probably even make it to a second day.The 3000mAh battery lasted for 8 hours and 23 minutes in our video loop, which was a disappointing us. However, with real-world usage, I managed to easily go past a full day before needing to charge this phone. The HTC 10 supports Qualcomm's Quick Charge 3.0 which promises a 50 percent charge in just 30 minutes.

The Display Of HTC 10 Is grown slightly to 5.2-inches, but the bigger upgrade is the resolution. It’s much more pixel dense now, thanks to the 2560 x 1440 quad-HD resolution,That's a density of 565 ppi and it covers 99.9% of the sRGB colour gamut. It’s a mightily impressive panel, though as it's LCD 5th generation LCD, and Gorilla Glass protection.The maximum display brightness of the HTC 10 of 428nits isn't impressive and could be problematic in direct sunlight.The HTC 10 offers two settings for viewing colors, the default setting is Vivid and you can change it to sRGB, which makes the screen just a tad warmer for more accurate looking colors. Both "Vivid" and sRGB offer a color temperature slider to tune the color profiles to your liking. 

Cameras have been a bit of sore subject for HTC's flagship devices but we can happily say that trend has been broken with the 10. It's still not the best nor is it perfect in any way, but there's been good progress. HTC is sticking to its Ultrapixel technology and now with version 2.0, HTC is going with a 1/2.3”, 12-megapixel sensor with large, 1.55µm pixels and wide, f/1.8 lens. Combined with optical stabilization, these parameters suggest great light sensitivity for when you're shooting in the dark. Up front, 5-megapixel selfie camera with optical stabilization, a first with frontfacing snappers, and a boon for club photos.There's an automatic HDR feature, along with auto focus and beauty effects.Capable of 4K video capture along with slow-motion and even hyperlapse video, the HTC 10 is a competent camcorder..The software is different. You can launch the camera by simply swiping downwards twice even when the phone is asleep or by dragging the camera app icon into the middle of the lockscreen.

A new app called Boost+ is actually quite useful. It’s main function is to supposedly keep the phone running smoothly by clearing caches and deleting junk files. Its coolest feature, though, is the ability to lock apps, meaning you need to use the fingerprint sensor to open them. the company has ditched many of its own apps (Gallery, Music) in favour of Google's native ones, which makes for a lean, clutter-free inerface.The Themes app lets you change the look of your phone in one go or you can individually choose an icon set, wallpaper, sounds, and fonts. Audio is handled by the Play Music app and it's business as usual here. BoomSound is present and is backed by Dolby Audio. You get a dual-speaker setup, each powered by its own amplifier, but this time, the bottom speaker fires downwards instead of towards you. It still sounds great but isn't as immersive as two stereo speakers. The phone has also been designed with a high resolution DAC which supports 24-bit audio. 

The HTC 10’s camera app is one of the best around. it's fully featured with RAW support, Pro modes and it’s simple to navigate with big buttons and a lack of text. It’s also fast to navigate and jumping through modes doesn’t lag in the slightest .It can also capture lovely indoor and outdoor daytime shots with accurate colour representation and without any nasty over-sharpening artifacts. You also get the usual Google apps and Zoe Video Editor which helps you create short films from your photo collection.Google Photos is the only gallery app on the HTC 10, and that's absolutely a great thing given how powerful it has grown. Not only does it automate the process of backing up your photos to Google Drive, but you can also search your library through keywords. Better yet, HTC has actually included the editing tools from its old Gallery app into Google Photo, so you get a pretty powerful photo editor out of the box. 

The HTC 10 is a Wonderfull and eye-catching, well Stalyed and Engineering crafted smartphone with the most powerful Designed components available today.The HTC 10 is beautifully designed, there is no doubt about it. Its industrial lines and heavy construction bring us back to the early-Android days. I can say that camera performance is also good, I also love HTC's new lean and clean approach when it comes to software Configuration. Loyal HTC fans will pick this phone up in a heartbeat, but for everybody else, it's tough to recommend.
