The next flagship phone to look out for is the HTC 10 that’s scheduled to be announced on 12 April. In its latest teaser, HTC is boasting top notch performance claiming that it will be the fastest and smoothest Android yet. That’s a very bold statement and we’ve already seen benchmarks of it beating other devices including the Xiaomi Mi 5, Galaxy S7 edge and iPhone 6s. Coupled that with their slick Sense UI, this could be the best Android experience after the Nexus 6P.
To shed more light on its hardware, the HTC 10 has surfaced on GFXBench database. It confirms what we’ve already know such as the 5.1″ Quad HD display and it runs on Qualcomm’s top-end Snapdragon 820 processor that’s mated to 4GB of RAM. The database also listed a 12MP main camera at the rear that’s capable of shooting 4K videos while the front is having a 5MP shooter. Out of the box, it runs on Android 6.0.1 and if it follows the One A9’s “within 15-days after Nexus” update promise, this could be a serious contender.
We’ve seen a couple of leaks of the exterior and it looks pretty sleek with its two-tone metal finish at the back. While it won’t have a pair of front facing speakers, HTC appears to be working on an alternative Boom Sound that might deliver an even better audio experience.
Can HTC bounce back in 2016? We’ll find out next month.
