HTC 10 Review - The Best Android Smartphone!

[@brett_84]

let me tell you a little something about HTC my friend's dog chewed up my phone cord charger and I got my phone through Sprint even though I didn't pay HTC one penny for the phone and I was completely honest with them about what happened they sent me a new phone cord through the mail free of charge that's how much HTC value their customers

[@Itzwill2k1]

I love this phone. Very easy to use and looks great.

[@Andru]

I agree!

[@starfox300]

Peter I think you have some crime to take care of.

[@bowtech1020]

It's 3 Years now. 3. And I can honestly say I still love this phone my HTC 10. Phone runs like a champ. Still fast as he'll. Honestly noticed no slowdown. Battery lasts me all day and then some. Knowing how to take. Care of battery helps. Music quality is superb. Camera is still awesome. I don't even look at other phones to upgrade. And mind u it says it's not waterproof. Mine too a quick dump in a pool. Got it out fast tho. Still runs perfect. All metal so premium. Sapphire camera lens has no scratches at all. Best phone I ever owned period.oh and best part is brand new I paid 99.99 on a 2 year contract lol. What a deal.

[@nchmusic99]

Are you still using the HTC 10 ?

[@mohamedmedhat9539]

nice review actually.. not because I like this device , but for saying every feature with every single detail of the 10 I like both s7 and g5 too but I don't know why I can't get rid of HTC devices it feels like they have soul and I'm just into them I tried the s6 .. great device but there's something wrong with it , I don't how to describe it maybe it's just not for me

[@r3dift184]

I get you bro

[@MrToyolex]

Exactly :D

[@amirkeyrain]

that's why lots of people hated Samsung touchwiz

[@albanemini1274]

no one could say this better 100% agree there really is something special about htc....

[@xdddjo1282]

htc and sony are special

[@MatthewMoniz]

Damn Andru!! Production quality is on point. Great review!

[@Andru]

+Matthew Moniz thanks a lot Matt!!

[@brett_84]

im using a samsung galaxy note 4 and im up grading to htc 10 i have used samsung for along time and im not really happy with this brand cant wait to see what htc has to offer on a side note i did have a lg g2 and i really liked it over samsung

[@Yusufsanad]

as a m10 user I just find one of most effective disadvantage on it if you are lefty handed your pinky will block the speaker but still the best in my opinion

[@momo.ru-kun]

Can't go wrong with HTC 10, great build, great multimedia device over some useless waterproofing, great camera, great software experience. I just wished the kept the front facing boomsounds and moved the fingerprint at the back

[@r3dift184]

Eew bro I hate the back fingerprint readers..ugh why is this logic still a thing!

[@McCarthy880]

"useless waterproofing".. dumbest comment ever

[@ValenNitto]

Looks like it has some major competition with that ZTE phone

[@MrWalker1000]

what ZTE phone? those phones are horrible

[@ValenNitto]

+MrWalker1000 I would agree but check out the ZTE axon 10.

[@mondobytes]

Damn bro, you're getting better and better. #DreamTeam

[@Andru]

+Armando Ferreira trying to catch up to you bro!

[@MrWalker1000]

+Andru Edwards Sony phones are underrated. it's funny thay now people care about water resistance when nobody did before until Samsung put them. anyways HTC killed it. would you say the sound quality is better Than any other phone. sony and HTC seem to Be the only companies that care about sound quality

[@raifordkenneth15]

getting better at what the HTC 10 is nowhere near better then the s7 or s7 edge

[@MrWalker1000]

+Kenneth raiford better audio and better battery life. more durable

[@raifordkenneth15]

SavageArfad better ui to you I love the galaxy ui it offers more features for me htc sense is like stock to me it's boring I don't want a boring phone or ui

[@Naldynator]

BEST review out there on the HTC 10! Informative, complete, well-spoken, and pleasant. Great job! Can't wait to get mine. Currently, a happy One M8 owner.

[@roboticsguyy]

This is my favorite phone, but I still feel they shouldn't have touched the IR blasters for remote controlling and wouldn't it be cool if it could be wirelessly charged?

[@Richiegems]

The speakers on the 10 are definitely stereo and sound great but having one stereo channel going to a tweeter only and the other channel to a woofer doesn't seem right. You may miss out on some of the sound.

[@bluebloodmetal]

About the phone...I have it now for two weeks, and I just love it. Everything goes so smoothly and quick. There's only one thing I hate : They dropped the dual boomspeakers I just loved on my HTC One M7 (with beats). Instead I get a spacial distorted sound (one stereo channel goes to the bass speaker and one channel goed tot the treble speaker which gives a lack of low frequencies on the one, and a lack of high frequencies on ther other. When you turn your phone 90 degrees to watch a video fullscreen, the audio sounds really weird, hearing low onthe right, and high on the left ! But that's my only complain !

[@saschahoppe4833]

Thanks for talking about the audio features. It's nice that HTC cares for those features that seemingly has a small customer preference.

[@PyroMania61]

Solid review, no overly loud annoying music, objectively on point comments, covered all specs and details.

[@Andru]

+PyroMania61 think you! I try to provide the info people care about!

[@danielwilson5831]

My man! I have never seen any of your videos before today, but damn! Your cinematography is amazing and your reviews are great! Keep up the awesome work!

[@SolidSnake1980s]

Man great review and you make me love this phone even more. I'm on Note 5, and I'm worrying about that only one thing, the camera. OIS is not good as in Note 5, surprisingly even the S7 fails against the Note 5 in this department. And not to mention the lights/sun flares you get in HTC 10 camera pictures, lens protective glass seems to be liking skin oil very much... This is great video indeed.

[@TheDigitalJedi777]

Yo Andru, from your point of view what's the better sounding device, the M9 or 10

[@catinhotlanta]

Nicely done. I love my 10, having had the M7 and the M8. I bought mine unlocked, my first as such, and just put in my nano card from my M8 and I was ready to go! Super, super fast with the best build quality out there.

[@jellebos6589]

Hi Andru, completely agree with your assessment although i am disappointed by the screen in full daylight. What is your opinion on this?

[@ChrisJones-ht9zn]

Love the line about being more likely to listen to music than dropping the phone down the sink. How right you are. Nice review.

[@Andru]

+Chris Jones thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@12ra3l]

Cool review. One question: what's the exact name of the background track?

[@tilak1412]

amazing review.. I already have Samsung Galaxy s7 edge... do you think I should get the HTC 10.. as I love listening to music .. the point that you made in the review that you are most likely to listen to music rather then dropping the phone in the sink ...

[@MK1l]

Thanks for the review. I bought the unlocked version that came with high res audio earphones and the quality is top. Overall I'm happy with this phone.. The battery life is very good. It feels good to be back go android after using ios for the past 5 months.

[@JerryRigEverything]

Tight perspective shot at 0:11! That looks sweet.

[@Andru]

Thank you! I try to find unique shots :)

[@crazymonkey86056]

what the hell i didnt even notice that, how do you pull that off?

[@daleytm1]

I agree with Edward. Very thoughtful, thorough review. You are a masterful video editor too! My favorite part..."I'm more likely to listen to music than drop my phone in water." Priceless.

[@Andru]

+Teri Daley hey, that's just keeping it real!! LOL

[@eviee]

your voice is very clear and relaxing. thanks for the great review, sir.

[@tortistajerez]

I would like to know how is the sound in the record videos, great review.

[@frankgeorge3511]

I've been looking forward to the 10. Definitely motivated to check it out this weekend.

[@gapdrager8818]

Great review man bt i wanna know if htc 10 is better with overall specs compare to lg g5.thanks.

[@Idon12no]

Good video. I think too many people have bought the hype about what the HTC doesn't have, without considering it's not anything that actually hurts the phone or make it inferior.

[@HittoTheAssassin]

Watched alot of reviews on this phone, and you sold me on this phone. The NXT photo got you the subscription😁 great review brreh

[@dligginz]

what program are you using for the lettering on screen?

[@sanowarashraf4325]

I bought the htc 10 three days back...it might be too soon to tell but i must say i have having the best experience with a smartphone so far..i am loving it.. previously i used LG G3 for two years but after the common display issue i had to get a new phone.. My only concern right now is the non-user replaceable battery...It uses a li po battery that has a life time of about 300-400 recharge cycles...that means if i recharge once daily the battery may die after 1 -1.5 years of usage. Given the money i have invested..i would want my phone to last longer..what could i do in this regard? What would be your opinion about my thoughts... Thanks.

[@shawnschoonmaker]

Very good review. Currently, I have the HTC One M9 and am upgrading when I visit Sprint in Harlem. I'll subscribe.

[@jayeshc4092]

I was looking for true reviews on the HTC 10 and stumbled upon this video..loved it and Subscribed thank you for the awesome video and just saw you hit 50,000 sub's congratulations..👏👏👏

[@faridamin2410]

best phone of 2016.

[@kurohikes5857]

OMG! Finally a tech reviewer that appreciates realistic color on the screen. When it comes to sound and true color HTC is head and shoulders above the competition.

[@Andru]

+John Dow I want realism, not some ridiculous colorful fantasy!

[@chrismay74]

I can not wait to get it this weekend. I love the quality of music to and am very excited to get my mitts on this 📱

[@ivanvolaric5879]

Hi, which color you think is better looking? Carbon Gray or Glacier Silver?

[@Andru]

Silver!

[@mitchellhahn2758]

my friends told carbon grey looked better, but for some reason i preferred the glacier silver!

[@ma3ttia11]

Go for the golden one it's amazing

[@timothynatividad4478]

very honest review bro ...got subcribed right away .... good job for waiting for the upgrade bef. doing some comments

[@Andru]

+timothy natividad thank you!

[@Tizbi]

Awesome all around review, I'm about to buy the htc 10 but I've been wondering... why is there two versions of the silver? One with a black front and one with a white, does anyone know if is there a difference in hardware?

[@Andru]

+Jade wu same phone - black front is US, white front is International.

[@muhammadmohsin5109]

Man!!!!! always joy to watch your videos

[@02elley]

I love this review, this is the most honest review by far.. HTC 10 is the best phone for 2016, I've been using this for a month now and I never faced any issues on the device, super fast and super smooth not like Samsung which is super fast on the first 3 months..Poor touchwiz..Waterproofing doesn't make sense at all but yeah listening to music does a lot better than waterproofing the device..Fantastic job Dru!!! Kudos brother..

[@Andru]

+Jashley Cajucom thanks so much! I appreciate those kind words!

[@fearfeasog]

Great review. I'm loving my 10 so far, two weeks in. I do want to point out that while you get to record stereo audio for video, you won't have access to stereo recording natively for audio recording apps that offer it, like the "Hi-Q mp3" recorder I use regularly. I am personally most disappointed about this lack. Other than that it's pretty sweet, this phone.

[@E3Gamersentertainment]

Which color do u prefer Gold or silver or black??I want ranking like 1. silver 2.black 3.gold ur opinion pls

[@ACE-K86]

BEST review on the HTC 10! GREAT job!! I love HTC 10!!!

[@ozzking2006]

I've had the htc m8 for the past 2 years and I couldn't be happier with it tbh. Has anyone made the change over from m8 to htc 10? is it worth it?

[@BrianWithanM]

i have made that change. im very content with my HTC 10. the camera is better and sound with your media is incredible. id say go for it.

[@ozzking2006]

Thanks mate

[@ianschulze1461]

Have you had any issues with the top portion of your screen not being responsive? Mine went bad a few months ago. Basically if I'm in an app or Chrome and try to access something at the top of the screen I have to turn the phone in landscape in order to to do so. Just curious. Thanks.

[@aguitusaguitus]

Switched from M8 to the 10 The first things that i noticed were.. I don't know why but it feels a lot lighter than the M8 It's display is very saturated and very attractive, the M8 display looks washed out next to the 10 display The camera is a huuge upgrade, it doesnt over expose like the M8 does in every photo. It feels thinner than the M8 It charges super fast. The DAC on the 10 is waay better than the one from the M8 And well, we are on 2016. The 10 just flyes

[@ianschulze1461]

Awesome, I'm pretty sure I'll upgrade to the 10 and not switch to Samsung.

[@BSingh-on4qr]

It's great, but can you compare it with the ZTE Axon 7?

[@brett_84]

i now have my htc 10 and had it for the last two weeks its the best phone i have ever owned

[@Andru]

+Brett Pendleton boom!!

[@praveenshah1056]

What a great video. I love these thorough videos man. And you are getting better with those shots. Spectacular !!

[@Andru]

+Praveen Shah I appreciate those kind words - it's a rarity to find in KZbin comments!

[@Spectator182]

Great review man, between this and s7edge using iphone6plus at the moment... im gonna get my htc10 on august.. Great review again thanks..Subscribed! :)

[@firdausansarifard]

From what Ive seen and a former HTC user, I must say this is so far the best HTC has come out with. The fingerprint unlock I heard is quite fast

[@firdausansarifard]

and for the audio department, they never disappoint. And it looks durable.

[@dipensamanta4459]

i'm from India. Currently i'm using m8 and my question is- is it worth to upgrade from m8 to htc10 now or just wait for the next version ? i love the design of the 10 and i know the external speakers are the best but unfortunately they are not front facing. Hoping the speakers are placed at front on the next model.

[@ZerefProductions]

Go for it you wont regret it I upgraded from the m8 as well and speaker although not as loud are still very good as the tweeter is front facing with the woofer downward speaker and as far as quality is concerned it sounds better and is better in every way performance, display, camera, headphone audio and battery life.

[@jc41f]

great review! finally somebody appreciate the effort HTC put into sound quality! definitely my next upgrade from htc m8!

[@stillakilla]

i love this phone but the only thing i dont like is the camera options. no 60fps killed it for me when i got it. other than that, everything is amazing about it. the audio quality is phenomenal. great review!

[@robindeleeuw8127]

I love the silver color on the back, but I only find them with a white front. Where can I get the one with a black front and silver back? Was this an exclusive?

[@HomayoonVafamehr]

I have heard that Black front and silver back is exclusively for north America.

[@glennwood4300]

Great review, thanks. This is my 4th HTC device in a row (Incredible, Rezound, M8). I love their build quality, Sense works well, they are just good solid phones. I agree with I will be much more likely to listen to music than drop my phone in the water.

[@QuinnCurtis]

HTC really made a great improvement. is it true they will be making the Nexus phones again?

[@Andru]

+Quinn Curtis that's the rumor, and I think so!

[@DonnKnee]

HTC definitely weren't the first or only ones doing that button design and arrangement. The Moto X, 2014 had it, too.

[@nadbijley5826]

Hey Andru. Thanks for this in depth review. I think I might go for this one. Take care.

[@Armfan99]

Im in the market for a phone in late 2018, i still cannot find a better option than the HTC 10. First off i really do not like 18:9 screens, the majority of video watching i do on my phone is twitch or youtube and the black bars annoy me to no end, this rules out nearly every phone made in the last year and a half. The HTC 10 also gets all the buttons in the correct spots, volume and power on the right side of the phone and the fingerprint sensor on the front.

[@aidanstenson7063]

Does the htc 10 come with the earbuds on Verizon in U.S.

[@fearfeasog]

mine did not.

[@mladenradinovic2290]

best review I've watched!!! Thank you for it! Subscribed!

[@g1nk0]

Is the home button a physical button with travel, or is it just capacitive?

[@robg915]

Capacitive

[@g1nk0]

Robert Dominguez I wish it was a physical button, but I still prefer this to on screen buttons.

[@Andru]

+Ginko Weed capacitive, but non-annoying capacitive

[@g1nk0]

Andru Edwards That sounds promising. I might go try and find one at a phone dealer or something.

[@omenncs]

What is the app he's on at 3:03 to 3:16, please do tell me it looks like the ios one which is what im used to

[@AakashKhawaja]

The best HTC 10 review on KZbin! Thumbs up 👌! At least someone is giving the 10 what it truly deserves! Subscribed!

[@ericlin8647]

htc's new design is beautiful!!

[@markgardner42]

great review. glad to see someone giving HTC an honest review instead of the common ones that reviewers always do that seem to be very harsh to HTC compared to how they judge we other companies efforts.

[@Andru]

+Mark Gardner thank you! Glad you enjoyed it

[@realsaadkhan]

Is the black one painted? I mean if it gets scratched will we see silver beneath it or what? And also tell about the silver one is it painted too? I am asking all this coz I always use my phones naked & don't want to slap a case on it!

[@Andru]

+Saad Khan silver doesn't seem painted, and the black seems to be an anodization, similar to what you'd find on the different colored (non silver) iPhones. I think silver is safest!

[@realsaadkhan]

+Andru Edwards wow wasn't expecting such a fast response from you man...thanks for helping out btw any idea about the golden one (I know it's not available in your country but it is in my country)is golden one also anodized? Actually I have a Macbook 12 in golden color so wanted to match it 😉

[@krykensden6978]

+Saad Khan yes

[@Andru]

+Saad Khan same with gold, anodized aluminum!

[@realsaadkhan]

+Andru Edwards oh I see...thanks for helping out man...will go for silver now.

[@rizisidi4ever]

it has the focusing issue bro try it and keep us update if you also get the same problem when you zoom in on an object which is at some distance or while taking some pictures

[@TraceFoxo]

What is the name of the background music?

[@nicewillz]

Great review. Just subscribed!

[@Megadeth6633]

I likedyour opinion on this device. the headphone jack is called a headphone jack and not a auxiliary port though. auxiliary jacks are for inputs not outputs

[@Andru]

+Megadeth6633 oh interesting - I've used them interchangeably, but now I won't anymore!

[@mohaiminulmahin154]

subscribed! nc review man...keep it up!

[@Jhihmoac]

...Great handset! I've had mine for almost a year now and use the crap out of it for tasks such as photo and image editing, music and sound editing, video editing, gaming, social networking, and even some business correspondence...I've got it pretty loaded with apps, and it still performs with no lag whatsoever! With the Nougat upgrade, it works even better! As far as power and productivity are concerned, it's still a beast! It's almost like having a compact phablet! Oh, and I forgot - the on-board DAC and headphone amp are absolutely killer through my Pro Sennheisers! The newer U11 is good, but not good enough to trade my 10 in for... No way! Oh, and one more thing...I like your reviews, so I went and subscribed...A shame I hadn't heard of you until now, but you're right up there with "Mr. Mobile", Mike Fisher!

[@Andru]

+Crazcompart I love mike, great guy! Thanks for the kind words!

[@Noodle_F]

supports 2tb? Places I saw said it only supported 256gb SD. Sprint made the wrong choice to not include the black model

[@Andru]

+Coulter Tech supports 2TB, but those cards don’t even exist yet

[@Noodle_F]

Yeah, its nice future proofing though!

[@robg915]

This review was on point, probably one of the best HTC 10 reviews I've seen.

[@Andru]

+Robert Dominguez I really appreciate that!

[@scootosan]

Really like this device, thankfully HTC finally upped the camera quality. Water resistant isn't a big deal for me.

[@user-23590]

wow, finally reviewer that mentions about touch delay/response, to me it is really significant when switching between iOS device and Android phone.

[@Andru]

+Devin Oct it's important!

[@ismailakram]

Does your HTC 10(both) vibrates when call connects? like heptic feedback that other side of caller answered your call? I've HTC 10 US unlocked version and it does not but other part of world with unlocked HTC 10 says it vibrates.

[@drongorius]

+Rails Ruby my m8 vibrates and its very cool feature,

[@ismailakram]

well I had M8, M9, One A9 and all vibrates that's why I'm asking why its missing from US unlocked version. but EMEA unlocked HTC 10 have it.

[@nic_ccc3366]

Have you had any problems with the phone lagging over time? Mine's been fine but I've only had it a few days, but another KZbin reviewer experienced lag on his 10 after a month or so. Anyway, enjoyed this so I subscribed.

[@Andru]

+Nikka M thanks for the sub! I haven't noticed any lag, but if the other person had it for a month that means they also had the pre-launch software and have only had the shipped software for about a week.

[@mramir1238]

Andru, my mic sounds a little tinny, really quiet and has a lot of background noise. Should I RMA it? It's also got a dead pixel.

[@mahmoudemadel-din3904]

Definitely return it if it has a dead pixel.

[@napoiskafarming669]

My phones buttons ( which aren't really buttons cuz you don't press them) for some reason, aren't working.. My phone fell on its back and now it's like this.. Everything works perfectly except the recent apps and back buttons.. Just nothing happens when I press them. So, you guys think that I should take it to the shop I bought it from for the warranty or is there anything I can try first?

[@SmartphoneWorld]

Awesome review better than Marquees brownlee. What software do u use for editing ur videos especially that text style?

[@Andru]

+Smartphone World thanks for the compliment! I do everything in Final Cut.

Thanks for the reply.

does anyone know what the headphones that come with the phone are like, UK issue

[@TurkumCaliskanim]

Fantastic review, and not biased like the rest.

[@elxanaxundov8955]

The only thing that i don't like is 3.5 mm jack is in the top(Why is not in the bottom?) But overall i think so it's the best smartphone right now.

[@Alfalfa_Male]

Cannot wait for the HTC Nexus coming later this year. Looks like my oneplus 2 is getting an upgrade.

[@dalirilad]

is it confirmed yet? I'm also thinking to upgrade my one plus 2.. an HTC Nexus sounds pretty good

[@luigipuno5479]

+Dalir Khalili but software will be google so the audio enchance software will not be included

[@cam0cazi]

pretty significant leaks so far

[@ciderandthorazine]

excellent review, andru. as an OLED fan, i still *slightly* prefer the s7 edge, but you certainly put together a great case for the htc 10. no doubt, a rockin' device.

[@JESUSISGREATEST]

I like both the htc 10 and s7

great review not overlooking any features and yes people are crazy for thinking of waterproofing over great quality audio ... subscribed

[@TheKenHundreds]

But if you use bluetooth headphone then what?

[@chuckzilla8054]

+Kendall Robinson what piece of apparatus do you know can deliver hifi audio via Bluetooth buddy you want high quality with any handset its the same

[@TheKenHundreds]

Chuck Zilla Personally, I don't need hifi audio. The LG bluetooth headphones that I have now delivers great sounding audio.

[@chuckzilla8054]

so does the htc tho but none of the above is gonna give you hifi through bluetooth

[@TheKenHundreds]

+Chuck Zilla I don't need hi-fi audio on my phone. my car speakerscan substitute for that.

[@donniedollerson9867]

Thinking about switching overfrom Galaxy S6 Edge Plus to the HTC 10. Tired of all the noise about the Galaxies. There are a lot of fluff on these phones i dont need an use. Music is what im about and HTC 10 is that phone. I will have to order it from T Moble because they are out of them in the store but that should only take about one day.

[@Infinit3Enigma]

Question bro! I currerntly have the note 3 so going to 64bit is gonna really help me. I am looking for a phone that can keep its soc performance. I love running full OS on my phone and run some cfd and other analysis code on linux and i do run them on my phone for time to time sometimes when I don't have pc access (yeah its not a full desktop but it gets things done) can the HTC 10 keep its clockrate up? Otherwise it seems like a nice upgrade. Worth it or wait for Note 6? Even though I don't use my Spen all the time, im gonna miss using it sometimes!

[@Andru]

I mean Note 6 will be more powerful with 6GM RAM, but the HTC 10 doesn't seem to throttle down

[@Infinit3Enigma]

Andru Edwards the phone does have removable battery and sd slot right? or has HTC always been closed back? Never owned an HTC device. And is it confirmed that note 6 will have 6gb lpddr3 ram?

[@Andru]

No removable battery, but it does have microSD support up to 2TB

[@Infinit3Enigma]

Andru Edwards 2tB :O Man what a time to be alive!

[@MrQidris]

thanks for a great review on HTC 10 ... :)
