review about HTC 10
review about HTC 10
After a month living with 10 HTC, the handset has returned home for HTC and it was easy to miss once he was gone. It really is a beautiful phone and a huge improvement over the recent efforts of the company - even if it loses a little personality along the way.
The problem is the price. On the one hand, it is a high-end smartphone and feels worth the price tag £ 570, but the problem is how much more you can get for the same price. The elephant in the room is the Samsung Galaxy S7.
In most settings, it is a dead heat between the two, with performances and similar specifications, but the Galaxy S7 edges of the screen and the camera, as well as provide an extra five and half hours of life battery, sealing and wireless charging. You may or may not use these functions (life of the battery side, which is quite important), but you can not deny that having them is better than not, all things being equal.
And that's the problem with the HTC 10 in a word: it is large, but its biggest rival offer more for the same price ... while being backed by a company with a much larger advertising budget. Unless you really like Samsung's TouchWiz or "slippery" feel, there is simply no reason for most people should choose the HTC 10, brilliant as he is.
That said, you can now get some very good deals on the HTC 10, from around £ 29 per month (or £ 26 if you are willing to go the refurbished route) no upfront cost. If you get a good deal with a good amount of data for your needs, you will find the HTC 1 October brilliant companion who can face anthing the world throws at her.
The initial review continues below.
10 The HTC is a great phone, but it really be. HTC has always been very good combined headlights, but the brand is struggling to stand out against its rivals glitzier Apple, Samsung LG and Sony.
At an event just a few months, another writer spotted my little marked but still elegant-looking HTC One M8 and commented, "you do not see a lot of technology journalists with HTC phones." It was a great time, and a truth about the Taiwanese manufacturer struggling if even journalists who are very positive about the handsets do not have them, how they convince the public to consider HTC instead of the last all- sing, dance all-Apple or Samsung flagship?
One option would be to undermine their opponents, but this is not an HTC approach seems keen on. The "One" and "M" may have been removed from the title, but the launch price of the HTC 10 is stubbornly staying there - with the big boys. A £ 570 SIM-free, it is the same price as the Samsung Galaxy S7 and £ 30 more than the iPhone 6s of entry.
Say what you like about HTC, which is a bold statement of intent. Unfortunately, despite being a fantastic smartphone - and the best thing HTC has done over the years - it does not live up to billing.
