However, the smartphone business for the company has sometimes been a reason for a lot of concern and according to the latest news, everything is still not going right. Despite all this, HTC is continuously launching its smartphone. About two months ago, HTC did not have one or two in India but Seven new smartphones have been launched in India.
Today we are the company’s new flagship smartphone HTC 10 Will review Apart from LG and Samsung, HTC has launched its flagship smartphone for a while, not launching early in the year. Will this strategy of HTC work in making the phone successful? We got a good experience in the first impression of the phone by us and now it’s turn to go through our review process of this phone. Today we will know what are the qualities and shortcomings in this phone.
Design and texture
Talk about the texture of HTC 10, this phone is made from a single block of aluminum and this phone makes it feel like a premium smartphone. The finish of the phone is smooth so that its grip is not very convenient. Due to lack of good grip, there may be a problem in using the smartphone with one hand. This HTC phone has dwindling chamford edges on the rear that looks beautiful when lights fall. We notice that holding the phone in hand, there is a slight sharpness on the sides of the display.
HTC 10 has a 5.2 -inch (1440×2560) resolution quad HD Super LCD 5 panel. Gorilla glass is given for screen protection. We liked the curved display given on the edges in Phoneon. The earpiece and capacitive home buttons look like a liquid layer above a stone. The quality of the display given in the phone is very good and it provides good color reproduction and accurate touch response. The user gets the option to choose ‘Vivid’ or ‘SRGB’ color profile. The phone has backlit navigation buttons on either side of the home button. The phone also has fingerprint sensors.
HTC 10 has a separate tray for microSD card (up to 2 TB) and a SIM card. The volume and power buttons are good and they are very easy to run. The phone has a 3.5 headphone shock at the top and a USB Type-C port and speaker at the bottom. The Type-C port USB 3.1 Gen given in HTC 10 supports 1 speed that can be transferred rapidly. This feature can be enabled by going to the setting app.
The rear of the phone has 12 ultrapexual 2 camera, laser autofocus sensor and dual tone LED flash. The camera lens is slightly embossed on the rear but a metal ring has been given for its safety.
No accessory was sent with the phone received for the review. On buying the phone, you expect to get a data cable, a quick charge 3.0 support adapter and a headset.
Specification and feature
Talk about power, so much is given in HTC 10. This smartphone has Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 quad-core processor, 4 GB RAM and 32 GB storage. With this strong specification, we got good figures in the benchmarking test from the phone. The phone also has features like category 9 LTE speed (most Indian 4G bands support), Bluetooth 4.2, NFC, Dual Band Wi-Fi B/G/N/AC, USB OTG and GPS. The phone does not have FM radio. Apart from this, this phone comes with reverse charging so that it also works like a power bank. This option will be seen when you plug into a USB device in the phone.
HTC Sense UI given above Android Marshmallow has been given. Due to many apps of Google, the company has not given many of its apps like gallery, music in the phone, which makes its interface look quite and easy. Blinkfide can still be seen when swipe on the right side on the homescreen, but if you do not use it, it can be turned off. This gives you the news snipet and the news Republic apps from Twitter but you can sink about the calendar, Google+, LinkedIn and the restaurant around you.
By pressing on homescreen, you can turn the screen layout from ‘classic’ to ‘freestyle’. This changes the entire theme of the phone (according to your choice) and most icons look like stickers. You can either link these stickers to the app or use them for decoration in general.
With the theme app you can change the look of your phone at one time or choose different icon sets, wallpapers, sounds and fonts. The boost+ app automatically removes the junk file to empty storage. Apart from this, you can lock the app from fingerprint, uninstall the app and optimize the game to get a better battery life.
The setting app has a tool that you can import data from your old Android or iPhone.
Performance
During our review process, we hardly saw any problem in HTC 10 smartphone. The call quality in the phone is fantastic and the earpiece gives a very clear audio. The phone is not hot at the time of normal use, but at the time of the use of the camera, the phone is hot, which causes some trouble.
Google’s photoz app is used to save photos. The phone has a play music app for audio. HTC 10 also has boomsound which is given by Dolby Audio. The phone has a dual-spicker setup and both have an amplifier but the speaker below gives sound downwards instead of sound. The phone has good sound experience but it does not leave two stereo speakers.
At the time of using loudspeakers, the boomsound allows you to togue between the theater and the music mode but this option changes when the headphone plugs.
The performance of the camera in HTC’s flagship smartphone has not been a great reason but now we can say that HTC has removed this problem. However, it is still not the best but is better than before. HTC is still standing on its ultrapexual technology and this HTC 10 has a 2.0 version. This phone has a 12 -megapixel resolution camera with a large 1.55 UM size pixels. The camera is equipped with a large F/1.8 aperture, OIS and laser autofocus. Pictures with this combination are detlealing and noise-free. In addition, photos are captured with extremely accurate colors.
In daylight, landscape shots are good but are slightly ugly. There is a slight deficiency when cropping the macro shot but looks fine when seen normally. Pictures are also good in low light and also contain details in dark areas.
The camera app of the phone is clear and works quite fast. The app has a menu to switch out on the right side and switch on various shooting mode on the left side. Flash and auto HDR togle is easy to use. In addition to the standard shooting mode, the app has Zo camera from which she can record stils and a few seconds. Along with this, there are panorami and pro mode.
It is easy to record a video on 4K resolution from the camera given in the phone. Along with this, audio recording can also be tolerated on 24-bit high-resolution. The phone can record both hyperlaps and slow-motion videos that look great.
The 5 -megapixel front camera in the phone is not very good but some good selfies can be taken with large pixels (1.34 UM) and large aperture F/1.8.
battery life
The 3000 mAh battery given in HTC 10 supported our video loop test for 8 hours 23 minutes, which is a bit disappointed. However, during normal use, we could run HTC 10 a full day after fully charged once. HTC 10 Qualcomm’s Quick Charge supports 3.0 technology and the phone is charged up to 50 percent in 30 minutes.
Our decision
HTC 10 has been launched with a price of Rs 52,990, so that it is Samsung Galaxy S7 ,Review) And LG G5 ,Review) With the flagship category joins. With such a high price, HTC 10 is expected to have a perfect phone and in some cases the phone also gets hoped but also disappoints some places. But now the question arises whether it is right to spend so much money on such a device when it gets a similar phone with these features and specifications at half its price? OnePlus 3 ,Review) This year is a luxurious flagship at a low price and this phone has a premium level performance. Apart from this, this phone is available at the price that most people can afford.
If you talk about HTC 10 smartphone, then it is a beautiful and great -texture phone with the most powerful component available in the market. The phone has a camera with great performance. Talk about software, HTC has done a great job. Fans of HTC will definitely buy this phone, but it can be a little difficult for other people to buy this phone.
