Based entirely on specs, it’s hard to give a victor, since each phone has strengths and weaknesses in multiple categories.

At the time of writing, the company was still undecided about what variant of the phone to bring to India. While it measures 145.9 x 71.9 x 9 mm and weighs 161 grams, the iPhone 6s Plus appears in 158.2 x 77.9 x 7.3 mm in dimensions and weighs 192 grams.
The new phone also comes with a new layout, called Freestyle, that abandons the fixed grid layout for apps in favor of a more customizable design.
Metal unibody created to protect against drops, scratches and corrosion. There is certain fullness to the contour that helps the grip – something unique when most phone designers are attempting to shave off every millimeter of space.
When you see the device and begin using it you will see a strong rem resemblance to the HTC One m7.
In the model you will get a 5.2 inch screen accompanied with 564 pixels per inch resolution. Or you can choose a 64 GB one.
The newly announced HTC 10 is much like most smartphones on the market in that it is not water resistant, it does have some form of protection, an HTC executive revealed on Twitter Tuesday. The Nexus 5X has a great display, good processing power and memory for running pure Android. Presumably these manufacturers will look at the S7’s success and turn out a new crop of devices that match it or make tiny, incremental improvements. Although the One M9 was and still is a fast device, the HTC 10 outshines it with a noticeable faster performance free of its predecessor’s overheating issues.
While the media in India is yet to get its hands on the phone, the HTC 10 boasts of the best camera in a smartphone, according to DxOMark – a trusted standard for imaging quality.
The 5MP front camera, also with OIS, has a wide angle lens and a screen flash to allow for better selfies.
HTC is also giving a slight boost to the selfie camera – to 5 megapixels, matching the Apple and Samsung phones. However, that nonsense stops with the HTC 10 as they are using a 12MP for their primary camera that uses UltraPixels to capture more light and image. The publication now ranks the new gadget high enough to match the mighty Samsung Galaxy S7 and Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge.
The phone comes with 3,000 mAH battery and promises talk time of 27 hours on 3G or 4G network. That’s because it’s one of the new USB-C cables which have some unique features, starting with the fact that you can’t insert them the wrong way around which is a most welcome addition. HTC claims that the fast charger can charge the battery to 50 percent in under 30 minutes.
For starters, the HTC 10 does seem to be able to deliver just about everything that you would want from a flagship device.

The review summarizes that HTC’s new flagship phone just doesn’t have all the other things that elevate a good phone into a great phone.
