It is possible that fans of Apple who have purchased products used in the AirPlay feature but want to defect to the Android camp will perceive the HTC 10 as their first preference on their buying list, analysts said.

This powerhouse is coupled with 4GB RAM for better memory management and Adreno 530 as the GPU. On the contrary, the HTC 10 carries a 5.2-inch Super LCD 5 display unit featuring the same QHD resolution but with slightly reduced pixel density of 565ppi, which shouldn’t be of any concern. There will also be 32GB and 64GB versions, with support for up to 2TB microSD cards.

There is the presence of a BoomSoundTM HiFi speaker but without the previously grilled speaker output. However, the video that we’ve embedded below this article shows an HTC 10 vs Samsung Galaxy S7 initial outline that concentrates on the benefits of each when compared with the other. That front camera also has a wide f/1.8 aperture and ultra fast laser autofocus. The 13-megapixel OIS camera is placed on the back of this phone, along with the LED flash sensor. The handset comes in glacier silver, topaz gold and carbon grey colourways. And the phone is water resistant with IP53 certification.

A hands-on article from PC World notes that HTC has ditched its own calendar app in favor of Google’s and doesn’t have its own Gallery app. Instead, it uses Google Photos.

It will be available for Sprint customers in “a few weeks”, with the company stating it will provide more information regarding availability and pricing closer to the release date of the HTC 10.

The lab reports revealed that HTC 10 scored well in both imaging and video tests.

HTC 10 battery will really cater to power users. We will be getting further details on the performance of HTC 10 from the testers, once the review embargo lifts later this week. It enables the user to interact with the phone, even when the cover is closed as the cover is see-through.

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. Other key features of the smartphone includes fingerprint scanner, Dolby Audio, BoomSound Hi-Fi edition and a 3,000mAh battery with Quick Charge 3.0 support. Pre-orders for the smartphone are now open in the USA, which is priced $699.
