HTC 10 Review: How Does it Stack Up?


HTC 10 Review- How Does it Stack Up-

Read my HTC 10 review and learn what I like and don’t like about this device.

I was given an HTC 10 unit powered by Verizon for review purposes. This is not a compensated post, and the opinions written belong to me and are not indicative of the brands mentioned.

I will start this review out by saying that in the past, I haven’t been fond of HTC phones. I have owned a few in my day and I found them to be glitchy and not the easiest to use. As a tried and true Gadgetnista, my main concern was rating this particular device on its own merits and not from past experience. I am so glad I did that because it gave me the opportunity to be unbiased, as I found the HTC 10 a pleasure to use.

HTC 10 Review How Does it Stack Up

HTC has been trying like heck to catch up to the offerings that Samsung has been able to deliver. Always a bridesmaid and never a bride, HTC has fallen short in popularity and in technology as Samsung has been able to reign supreme as the preeminent Android force. With the HTC 10, I think they’ve finally started to step their game up big time. With a sleek design and interface with amazing sound quality and screen resolution, it’s a pretty awesome smartphone.

How Does the HTC 10 Stack Up

What I Like

I am not a fan of phablets or large phones, so the HTC 10 gets a plus in the column. At 5.68 ounces, it is light and easily fits in my hand.

HTC 10 Review

In addition, you can add an SD card for more memory, allowing you to save more photos and other data on your device. Samsung has taken away the SD card in some of their most recent offerings, so if you are one of those people who like to be able to add more memory, this is a phone you will want to look at.

In terms of sound, if you are a gamer, music lover, or watch a lot of video content on your device, the speakers on the HTC 10 are epic. Despite the phone’s small size, the speakers pack a punch.

The  battery life is also awesome. I was able to use the phone regularly throughout the day and went two days without having to charge it. The HTC 10 also comes with Qualcomm 3.0 Quick Charge that’ll charge her up in half the time.

What I Don’t Like

The camera isn’t as good as I thought it should be. There are not many self editing controls, so if you are a selfie queen like myself, you will be disappointed. With a 5 MP front facing camera, it looks good on paper, but in reality, the front facing photo quality is just okay. If you aren’t into selfies, the rear facing camera (which is 12 MP) is pretty competitive with others on the market.

If you are going from a newer Samsung Galaxy device, this Android doesn’t have as many intuitive bells and whistles.

All-in-all, I think the HTC 10 is great for those who are looking for an Android device that is simple to and easy to use.

Other HTC 10 features:

  • Hi Res audio
  • HTC BoomSound
  • 4G LTE
  • NFC
  • Fingerprint technology
  • HD Voice, Video Calling and Simultaneous Voice & Data. Enable Wi-Fi Calling and make calls anywhere you have a Wi-Fi connection.

      I still am an Apple diehard, but the HTC 10 is pretty nifty.

    I have an HTC phone a few years ago. It was pretty amazing. I ended up going with Samsung Galaxy 5 after my HTC. I like the speakers on the HTC better than my Samsung phones.

      Samsungs make awesome phones. ANd now that HTC has stepped their game up, it’s harder to choose between the two.

    HTC has been pretty huge back in 2011 but for some reason they just weren’t able to keep up. I used to love their phones though. I’m glad though that they’re back in the scene – it’s about time. I’ll look this one up when I need to get a new phone.

    The best phone I ever owned was an HTC One M8. It didn’t have the most features, it didn’t have the fastest or top of the line hardware, but it was the most refined phone I’ve ever owned. It was a true case of the total being more than the sum of it’s parts.

    I never bought the M9. I didn’t see a reason to. It was only an M8 with a small spec bump that actually hindered it, since part of that bump was the notorious SD 810.

    Now we have the 10. They dropped the “M” and a few other things.

      Ah, thanks for the clarification. I haven’t tried the “M” models HTC previously released. I am sure the HTC 10 is similar.
