HTC 10

The HTC 10 is the best music phone on the market, and a strong performer all around. Its solid, all-metal body, quick performance, and fast fingerprint scanner make for an elegant experience. Aside from the audio quality, though, we still like the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge a bit better.

Awesome audio; Good-looking software; Fast performance; Attractive design

Expensive; Wi-Fi performance is a bit slow; Some camera focus issues in low light

HTC 10 p review

If you want a smartphone for the future, then don’t get the HTC 10. If you want a smartphone for right now, there are few better alternatives. Yes, this flagship is no box of tricks. Instead, it excels in the art of the familiar, with a pristine screen, ultra-powerful processor, a faultless take on Android and an elegant yet sturdy design. This stuff may be a marketer’s nightmare, but it’s really important when you’re stuck with a handset for two years or more. Especially now HTC’s flagship camera is broadly up to scratch again. So let’s go back to those headline innovations. Would you trade a two-day battery life for 3D Touch? Of course not. What about waterproofing? Nope. Maybe a wide-angle camera? Once more, no. And that, friends, is why the HTC 10 is a comeback story with a happy ending. Buy the HTC 10 here SIM free or on contract here
