HTC One M10 - what we know so far

HTC really deserves a second shot at redeeming themselves from past mistakes , the company - regarded as one of the most innovative smartphone companies until a few years ago was also the first to introduce 4G smartphones , the first Android phone and even helped create the first Windows mobile device and Sony's first Xperia handset .But with competition getting stiff , HTC found itself in a tough position where they could no longer sell their low end devices as tech titans like Samsung took over , by 2012 HTC was in a tough position in the flagship smartphone race as well , coupled with a few blunders , this mighty company slowly faded from being innovative to being scolded at in the tech world as their One M handsets became too plain and poorly executed .Fast forward to 2015 and we have HTC making a underwhelming handset - the M9 which some say was probably another nail at HTC's coffin , but is it ? Worry not as HTC is said to unveil its next flagship today , the new handset - designed using the best elements from the One M series and the butterfly series focuses on becoming not a stepover but a fully fledged battering ram which HTC will take to get back into the smartphone race .

HTC M10 , What we know so far

As we all know m, Snapdragon 820's and 4GB ram is the basic flagship entry pass for 2016 , the HTC M10 therefore is no exception and therefore it features a Snapdragon 820 Soc and a good 4GB of ram .Expect a microSD card slot and 32GB of basic on board memory on this beast will also Android's adoptable storage which would let you use the MicroSD card as a part of the storage as well .

Display wise , the M10 will feature a 5.2" AMOLED with 2560x1440p resolution .The displays in question are said to have gorilla glass 4 protection and they are said to be the first time (since the Nexus one era) that HTC is opting to use AMOLED displays on a flagship smartphone .

Camera wise , the phone is said tk go toe to toe with the best in town , the 12 mp rear sensor is not impressive on the megapixel count when compared to last year , but as Samsung showed , HTC is also preaparing to decimate previous flagship camera modules with its new 12mp Ultrapixel sensor which. is said to have a similar spec sheet as Samsung's offering ,(we wont be suprised to see a Sony IMX260 sensor inside) .The camera is said to have laser autofocus , dual LED flash and optical image stabilization and 4K video recording .
The front sensor of the HTC M10 will have a 5MP wide angle unit with image stabilization as well .

Rest of the spec sheet includes a USB Type C , Rumored wireless(inductive) charging , a 3000 mAh battery , Android 6.1 Marshmallow with Sense 8 UX and some water resistance coating And a front facing fingerprint sensor a-la HTC A9.Htc is however said to be dropping its signature Front firing speakers on this model which is a bit of a shame though

And there you have it , what we think of the HTC M10 , a phone that promises to be a phoenix to HTC's current woes and a nightmare to other manufacturers , but will it live up to the hype , or will it dissapoint , we shall see in a few hours time

HTC One to sell as TD 101 at China Mobile

Then, just a few days ago, the company launched the HTC One, which is going to be the company’s only One-branded handset this year, a make-or-break kind of project for the Taiwanese Android maker that’s still having a tough time fighting against the competition, especially Samsung. We were under the impression that HTC will further invest in its One brand and not budge to carrier demands anymore when it comes to changing the name of the product – in the U.S., AT&T, Sprint and T-Mobile are going to sell it as the HTC One. But it looks like things aren’t necessarily so, and no, it’s not Verizon that’s going to get its way selling the One as the Droid DNA Plus, as it was recently rumored.
