HTC 10 Challenge: Sense 8.0 Features

More on Amazon Coins (Sponsored by Amazon) –

The HTC 10 is unofficially running Sense 8.0 on top of Android 6.0. We know it's running Sense, and we know that the HTC One M9 was running Sense 7.0. But the HTC 10 doesn't technically disclose which version of Sense it is running. However, through deduction we can assume it's Sense 8.0. In this version of Sense, we see a redesigned BlinkFeed, HTC Themes, and a powerful new performance manager application dubbed Boost+. Do you prefer Sense or would you rather see the HTC 10 run pure stock Android?

I pay YouTube red to ignore the ads and now they are becoming part of the videos. sad

It would be awesome if HTC gave the option to turn the sense skin on or off to switch between stock and sense.

Even though I jumped ship to the Note 5, I really did love Sense. But now that it's more vanilla, I don't like it so much, lol. I liked Sense's version of style & minimalism over stock Android's. Not that stock Android is ugly- it's beautiful- I just liked that it existed separately. It felt individualistic. Themed keyboards (of all kinds) are a risky design choice at best. I do miss the HTC theme engine compared to Samsung's. HTC had better customizable options for mix-matching (like icons from one theme & colors from another). Anyways, I'm done rambling, lol. Great video, Beau! 👍👽

The 10 strikes a great balance between pure Android and useful functionality.

I'm definitely a fan of what HTC did with their skin. Making things as stock as possible, similar to OnePlus' Oxygen OS. I honestly am not a fan of stock Android by any means. I like the small additions and add-ons that other companies add in to make android better. I'd have to say for me it goes Oxygen, TouchWiz, Sense (simply because I haven't used it since the M7), Stock, LG UX, then pretty much any Chinese skin their device like an iPhone.

do you know how to change the icon shape on HTC10 with Oreo? tks

[Jhihmoac]

I like this version of Sense...Less bloatware, although I'm not too keen on Google Photos handling the gallery, but I already was using GP prior to me getting the 10...I like TouchPal, and I thought stock Google text was best before that...

Does Amazon pay more if the ad is done at the beginning? I understand PhoneDog needs to pay the bills, but if it doesn't matter, then please place the ad at the end.

[skyworks]

You should rename the video to Amazon review

[TheNXT]

The fact that you guys have a minute-long ad at the BEGINNING of the video is extremely disappointing.

[princenemesis]

Facebook can be added to blinkfeed.. Got it on mine, jus needs a lil work to get it

[connorfishman]

sorry man I understand that advertising is necessary sometimes but these ads are getting really annoying. sorry for the criticism

[Uptownlegend]

that Amazon plug tho! smh so annoying...took so long fa him to actually get to the subject. 😠

[stevepeters]

It's soooo annoying when you do the advertising in the start of the video. Do it afterwards

[JohnWentworth]

so you really drink the performance boost look aid huh? those apps don't do anything, if anything they decrease performance and battery life, cache is a good thing it helps apps load faster, and free memory is wasted memory in Linux

[Skizzy]

No one likes the ads, yet they thumbs up the video?

[garykeegan]

??? How much is Amazon Paying you to advertise for them ???

[louiefajardo]

I buy this phone HTC 10 knowing that's I'm gonna settle for this because in paper it's REALLY good afternoon i replace my LG V10, it's a good phone regarding Sound Quality (it's a hands down) built Quality (Handsome Down also) but RAM management is terrible (theres a app slow down, stutter, it's lag from time to time, even I'm in 4g network phone slow down YouTube and slow down internet..

Almost a minute of ads. It's way too much. Try to split it at the end, like Linus does. Thumbs down.
