Just the phone plain and simple, speedy delivery, although the Oreo update has ruined the battery life on the phone and this was a huge let down for me on HTC's part but when returning a faulty phone for another model the customer service was splendid

Yes! HTC has finally done it. You finally learned from your mistakes, listened to the feedback and made sound decisions. HTC 10 really is near perfection. Near perfection, because there is no perfect phone.

With an ultra-clear 5.2-inch Quad HD (2560 x 1440 pixels) display in an enclosure that feels more like a 5-inch phone, the HTC 10 is one of the more compact flagships. By moving the dual speakers into a bottom firing and front facing position (as well as deleting the navigation keys), it is easier...

They sold me a phone with a defective battery. DO NOT BUY THIS. I REPEAT. DO NOT BUY THIS. Was what I said out of anger on November 16th of 2016. I since then have acquired another identical HTC 10 that was sent to me as a replacement. For that I am grateful.

First up, let's deal in the specs, because finding out what is inside this phone is just as important as using one, that way you know what you're dealing with. HTC flagships for the past four years, with the 2013 One M7 on the left, the 2014 One M8 the second model, the 2015 One M9 the third...

Comfortable design that fits nicely in the hand; Beautifully clear screen; Fantastic build; Can be upgraded with microSD storage; Sharp screen; Fingerprint sensor is very fast; Supports 24-bit sound with an amp capable of turning up the volume very well; Ear profiling is one of the more unusual but...

Design is odd: like HTC was melted into an Apple and Samsung; No water-proofing; No wireless charging; Qualcomm's QuickCharge is supported; just not in the box; Screen could be brighter; BoomSound makes headphones sound overly bassy and pretty unbalanced; Speakers don't sound as clear as they've...

My very first smartphone was a HTC. Well, it was built by HTC. It was a second hand i-Mate JAMin, a comparatively chunky Windows-powered pocket PC that predated the original iPhone. If you wanted a smartphone back then, there was a good chance that HTC built it.

Polished design; Bundled headphones are great; Clean Android overlay

Slow to open camera with software quirks; No wow factor; Comparatively dim screen

The HTC 10 is HTC's best flagship in a long time, but it may have come a bit too late. It's on par with current flagships, and has a lot going for it.

Great camera; Fast; Best audio quality amongst smartphones; Adoptable storage

Camera isn't always dependable; Battery life isn't very good

This year's flagships have been quite impressive and almost every company has impressed us in some way or the other. Now it's HTC's turn. The Taiwanese company has been one of the oldest Android smartphone makers and has produced some aesthetically attractive devices over the years.

This has got everything and the kitchen sink. WiFi calling, a great build quality, a fantastic design, brilliant screen and a robust finish that keeps it looking new even if you dare to go "bare".

If there's one thing the HTC 10 can do, it's deliver great sound. Its dual speakers, coupled with some fancy software technology, means your music and movies are going to sound fantastic. It also looks pretty damn good too -- a hard feat to pull off in a world filled with black slabs.

Get the HTC 10 if you want a phone that delivers great audio. For all your other needs, look elsewhere.

The HTC 10 has an elegantly chiseled design; brilliant audio quality and a highly customizable user interface.

The handset's non-removeable battery doesn't last as long as its competitors and its camera doesn't always render exposure correctly.
