Defined by observers of HTC as last chance to rebirth for the Taiwanese, the HTC smartphone 10 carries a considerable responsibility on the shoulders: revive, at least partially, the fortunes of a company that seems to not be able to have the pulse of the market as it once was. For this reason, in making his latest HTC phone has put all of herself, making the most of what can be considered his trump card of all time: the manic attention to detail .
The HTC 10 look is familiar, but at the same time different from that of previous models. The metal shell with rounding on such back we had already seen, while rounded corners are an original . Similarly the front side, with the upper and lower frames a bit ‘too pronounced, is not new; Gorilla Glass 4 curved glass at the corners instead is new and counterbalances the rear bevels.
The phone is extremely ergonomic, pleasant and concrete to hold and just as magnetic as even admire off. The attention to detail is very high: the power button knurled is immediately recognized to the touch, and the sensor for fingerprints instead of the home button is slightly recessed to avoid being pressed by mistake. From the looks, the Taiwanese directly competes with the best on the square – iPhone 6s and Galaxy S7 Edge. Only the body of the finish makes the device a bit ‘too slippery but unless you have an outlet pathologically dull HTC 10 remains firm even in medium-sized hands.
The display causes wonder : it is in fact an LCD panel 5.2-inch QHD resolution of very high quality: the reproduced colors are dense, faithful and free of distortion even when viewed from extreme angles, and a tool for calibration it helps the most demanding retouch intensity and color tones. The maximum brightness of the backlight could be higher, but in most of the occasions (including these sunny spring days) is still more than enough to make readable all the smartphone’s content.
He directs the orchestra processor Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 accompanied by 4GB of RAM. The configuration has proven successful on all phones that have adopted it, and HTC 10 is no exception: in the use smartphone newspaper is perfectly aligned with the best phones on the market and the power consumption is not excessive; thanks to the battery 3000 mAh HTC 10 is also able to also arrive in the evening with a medium intense use, and in case of emergency the quick charge function allows him to load quickly with a compatible adapter.
the operating system is Android smartphone Marshmallow flavored with the interface Sense of the house, which in this version is more pleasant and practical to use. HTC has minimized the aesthetic interference of what is proposed by Google, adding to the package only two significant (but optional) added. The first is Blinkfeed , the series of news and updates from social which is reached by sliding to the right the main page can be set with their sources and preferred platforms or let go completely. The second is the option to customize topics in a very practical way, by downloading packages made by third parties or by replacing piece by piece of the home screen elements decidendoli arbitrarily without having to be tied to their icons.
in the light of these observations, the conclusion is that using your smartphone is a real pleasure under virtually all points of view. The system is responsive in all situations, the onboard memory is plentiful ( 32 GB expandable with microSD ), the nice graphical interface as few know how to make Android and even the audio industry is a delight. HTC 10 century, it is powerful external speakers and defined sound, but not only; Meanwhile, the audio processor high-resolution Delivery to compatible headphones and a wraparound tremendously immersive audio, and is able to pull off even better by the accessories not built specifically for the standard; Finally even minutiae as interior sound effects to OS are cared for and pleasant to listen to, from ringtones to taps on the keyboard.
Where HTC 10 slightly stroke spring on opponents is in photographic industry. The main sensor from 13 megapixels (f / 1.8 optically stabilized ) is a huge step forward compared to the previous model virtually from all points of view, and in general good unit worthy of stand among the best; yet field has not proven insurmountable as suggested by laboratory tests of DxOMark. The contours of the subjects are sometimes blurry and with decreasing ambient light the camera struggles to return clear pictures. The situation improves saving pictures in RAW with the Pro mode and letting the phone analyze and better contrasts and shadows and light in post production, but such a process should happen automatically: a situation the genre, as well as some problems encountered with laser autofocus that sometimes does not work or adjusting the focus too slowly, suggest a software yet to be improved.
a camera from 8 in the report card, however, is not a matter in itself can blur other smartphone qualities, which really style to spare and is probably the best ever made by HTC even less than technological advances can do jumping off from generation to generation. To keep the Taiwanese phone within the reach of very few contribute unfortunately the cost, higher even than the iPhone 6s Plus. The reasons for HTC 10 there are different and the phone excels in most areas, but also came out on the market late compared opponents: will have to pay the fact that they are already further discounted online and in stores on their list price.
Wired Compatible with AirPlay; Also the front camera for self-portraits is stabilized optically less motivated and brighter; the sound of the recorded movies is high resolution.
Tired Camera subdued, especially in low light; uncompetitive compared to the competition.
