HTC 10 hands-on

HTC has launched its flagship smartphone for 2016, the simply-named 10. The 10 has a familiar design with virtually everything upgraded, including a change in direction for HTC's software. The Verge's Dan Seifert takes a first look at the new device. Update: the HTC 10 has an expected two days of battery life, not two hours.

3:20 Two hours of battery life! Never thought HTC could pull that off 10/10....

[juss]

HTC going back to the Thunderbolt days with 2 hours of battery.

HTC says...HTC says....HTC says, what did you say?

Wait they finally got the front design right.

2 hours of battery life? This will beat the Nokia 3310's battery for sure.

Finally much clearer version of HTC! Love it

I immediately thought of the HTC Thunderbolt when I heard two hours of battery life.

i hoped for dual speakers again, this is a bit of a let down, i have to hear if it´s still as good because that was one big plus over the other phones.

"HTC claims up to two hours of battery life... Which is a really long time for a phone of this size"

That made my day.

Two hours of battery life? What a time to be alive

[ForeheadSweat]

Damn I remember having an HTC HD2, look how far they've come.

[SimoneLanci]

Awesome preview!
Is the central button physical or is is the same to the HTCA9?

[alisa]

3:18 3000mah battery with 2 hours of battery time? lol

[WilsonAbrego]

Finally they used the sliding brightness bar adjustment! I got tired to be taken to setting to adjust to my liking!

[aaronbossert]

Two hour battery life? at least I know no one will be bothering me at the end of Titanic anymore

[BradsHacks]

And there goes HTC's only valuable feature: dual front facing speakers.

One thing got me confused, Qualcomm quick charge 3.0 supposed to fill up a battery of 2750mAh something capacity with 80-85% in just 35 mins. It says in Qualcomm's website. So why in HTC's website, quick charge 3.0 claiming to charge just 50% in 30 mins? Please clarify, I hope it's just a typo or else if not, HTC 10 doesn't really support QC 3.0. If the info here and in the website is true, it doesn't even closely resemble results for a QC 2.0 which fills up about 60% in 30 mins. I hope it's only an error on HTC's advertising or in Qualcomm's advertising as well, maybe.

why are the button and capacitive buttons so low under the screen ?
