HTC Announces The HTC 10

HTC today announced the HTC 10, its flagship smartphone for 2016. The HTC 10 follows last year’s M9 and blends the design of the M series with the A9 that came last fall. Key specs include:

  • 5.2-inch, quad HD Super LCD 5 display that HTC says displays 30 percent more color than last year’s phone with Gorilla Glass and curved edges that blend into the phone’s metal frame.
  • Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 processor
  • 4GB of RAM
  • 32GB of internal storage plus a MicroSD slot for expansion
  • A battery that lasts 2 days.
  • Quick Charge 3.0 support through the phone’s USB Type-C port
  • A rear camera that has a 12-megapixel sensor
  • A front camera that has a 5-megapixel sensor
  • One of the entirely new features for the HTC 10 is its high resolution audio system, with a headphone amp that can output twice as much power as other smartphones. The 10 can upscale audio to 24-bit quality.
  • Another unique feature of the 10 is its ability to wirelessly play audio through AirPlay-certified speakers, which makes it the first Android phone to do so out of the box.
  • It ships with Android 6

You’ll be able to find out if that’s enough for HTC to compete when the phone ships next month for $699 USD.
