It so happened that this year my main smartphone became Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge. Not from a good life in my case, because, as you know, I am not a fan of the brand: I don’t like TouchWiz, the glass body, the curved front panel and some other things. But all this is negated by one major advantage - a gorgeous camera. After the announcement of the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge, it became obvious that Samsung had taken another step forward in terms of cameras, and, remembering the previous year, when the Samsung Galaxy S6, its modifications, as well as the Note 5 were almost head and shoulders above all others in this component, I thought the situation would repeat itself this year. Everything was leading to this, the obvious progress of Samsung and the lack of it from my favorite company HTC, for example. As a result, I bought a Galaxy S7 Edge, and I approached the review of the new flagship HTC 10 with full confidence that the maximum that can be expected from the new “ashtisi” in terms of camera is some kind of progress in comparison with last year’s device or the year before, where HTC's cameras were very bad. As a result, after a month with HTC 10, I come to disappointing conclusions - the company was able to not only improve the camera in comparison with its last year’s devices, no. HTC did something that absolutely no one expected from them, including such an ardent fan as me - in HTC 10 the main camera in terms of photo quality is not just on par with the Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge, it is better. And in the review I will tell you exactly what and why. And this conclusion is disappointing for me for one reason, it’s as if I find myself again at the beginning of the year, and I’m overcome by one question - which smartphone to make the main one. On the one hand, I seem to have gotten used to the S7 Edge, on the other hand, the new HTC 10 with my favorite Sense (which I will scold), a metal body and amazing photo quality in any conditions beckons.

And now about HTC 10. Let's go!

Contents of delivery

In the box, in addition to the smartphone, there is the “required minimum of a flagship”: a normal charging block with support for QuickCharge 3.0 from Qualcomm (Samsung also has a powerful charging block, but some brands include a regular one, offering to buy a powerful one separately), USB cable–USB Type-C, as well as a nice bonus – headphones with support for Hi-Res Audio from HTC. I can’t say how they sound, because I’m unable to use plug-in headphones (they don’t fit in my ears), but they are made well and don’t feel like a cheap headset.

Design

Good news - HTC has finally abandoned its proprietary "triple frame" technology TM! Moreover, in the new HTC 10 the company risked everything and removed its logo from the front panel! I can imagine the battles over this issue that took place at HTC's headquarters in Taipei. And, in fact, this was enough to new smartphone looked no worse than previous models, but gained a new zest.

The front panel has become more neat, there are no more unnecessary frames, signatures, speaker grilles and other unnecessary things - everything is concise and simple. Except, perhaps, for the huge eye of the front camera. But it’s difficult to argue with anything here, the HTC 10 has a front-facing camera with optical stabilization, and the module itself is apparently large, so they placed it as best they could, as they say.

The HTC 10 is available in three colors – silver and gold with a white front panel, and dark gray with a black front panel. Personally, I like the black device best, but light ones are okay too.

Next to HTC One M9

It is important to note that HTC managed to maintain the continuity of design, the new “ten” looks exactly like a device from a Taiwanese company, it feels like an expensive, high-quality device, these are the features that have always attracted me to the company’s smartphones. Even when HTC was making another “neither fish nor fowl” smartphone, it looked and felt like a quality thing. In terms of feel, the HTC 10 is very good, and this effect is achieved to a large extent due to the materials of the body.

Housing materials

The main body material of the HTC 10 is good old aluminum. The main part of the smartphone is made from it, the so-called “bath”, into which the electronics, display and other elements are placed. The front panel is entirely made of tempered Gorilla Glass with a 2.5D effect, except for a small scanner key under the display. There are a minimum of plastic elements - the mentioned key, two strips on the “back” and an insert on the upper end for wiring antennas.

Yes, from a practicality point of view, the case is a little worse than a plastic one - marks from falls on it will be more noticeable (scratches, dents, etc.), but otherwise it is good. The metal feels pleasantly cool in the palm, and you can feel the quality and reliability of the device. By the way, the transition from the back panel to the sides in the HTC 10 is made with deliberately rough bevels, but it looks original and does not affect the comfort of the grip.

Assembly

The use of a unibody case without removable elements (except for trays for a nanoSIM card and memory card) makes the HTC 10 good in terms of assembly. There are no loose or creaking parts, no play in individual elements, no gaps between the front panel and the sides: everything is very good.

Dimensions

In terms of dimensions, the HTC 10 is comparable to the company's previous flagships, although it is slightly taller and slightly wider. The smartphone feels confident in the hand, it is also quite comfortable to carry in a variety of pockets, I don’t know what else to add here, except for comparison with some other devices.

• Apple iPhone 6S Plus(5.5"") – 158.2 x 77.9 x 7.3 mm, 192 grams
• LG G5(5.5"") - 149.4 x 73.9 x 7.3 mm, 156 grams
• LG G4(5.5"") – 148.9 x 76.1 x 9.8 mm, 155 grams
• Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge(5.5”) – 150.9 x 72.6 x 7.7 mm, 157 grams
• (5.2"") - 145.9 x 71.9 x 9 mm, 161 grams
• Meizu Pro 6(5.2"") – 147.7 x 70.8 x 7.3 mm, 160 grams
• Xiaomi Mi5(5.15"") - 144.6 x 69.2 x 7.3 mm, 129 grams

Of course, I'm a fan of HTC, but I can't help but tell you that HTC 10 is larger than many other smartphones with 5" and 5.2" diagonal screens. Indeed, the smartphone is inferior in body width to many models with a similar display diagonal, but in general this is not too critical. If devices with a screen diagonal of up to 5.5" and the corresponding dimensions are convenient for you, then there will be no problems with the HTC 10.

Controls

It so happened that even in the brightest times, when I liked HTC smartphones with all the details right down to the last screw, the controls raised questions. And HTC 10 is no exception. It uses a scheme similar to the one the company used in the HTC One A9. So, there are volume and power buttons on the right edge. The power key is ribbed, easy to feel and press by touch - a very cool solution! There is also a tray for a nanoSIM card.

On the left edge there is a tray for a microSD memory card.

The top end has a 3.5 mm jack for headphones or a headset. The bottom end has a speaker grille, microphone and USB Type-C. By the way, in HTC this connector works with the USB 3.1 standard.

Above the screen there are a speaker and a ringing speaker (the second one), light and proximity sensors, as well as the front camera peephole; I have already mentioned its size above.

Now about the main thing - the controls on the front panel. Immediately below the screen there are three touch keys: “Back”, “Home” and “Running applications”. The right and left keys are just sensors on the glass plane, the central one is made in the form of a real key, but in fact, it is a touch button combined with a fingerprint scanner.

The disadvantage of the key is that, for example, you cannot “wake up” the screen using it only if you have your finger scanned - then by touching the scanner you turn on the smartphone screen, otherwise touching the sensor does nothing. In my opinion, the most convenient solution is now used in Meizu smartphones, where mechanical, touch keys and a scanner are combined in one element. A little worse, but also very well implemented in smartphones from Apple and Samsung, they combine a mechanical button and a scanner. In all of these devices, you can activate the screen by pressing a mechanical button. Of course, all this is my nitpicking and a generally subjective assessment; if you are used to a dedicated fingerprint scanner and use it, then you will probably like the implementation of this element in HTC 10.

The scanner allows you to add up to five fingerprints to the memory, and you can add “impressions” of the same finger under different angles and tilts or “casts” of different fingers. The accuracy and speed of fingerprint recognition in HTC 10 is at the level of the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge.

Like all previous devices of the company recent years, HTC 10 supports various gestures - Motion Launch technology. The “ten” has different options for unlocking the screen without the power key. Double tapping on the display will take you to the lock screen, swiping from left to right to the BlinkFeed screen, from right to left to the main screen, from top to bottom to voice control, from bottom to top you will be taken to the screen where you locked the device (game , application menu, some kind running program and so on). The device distinguishes all these actions best when you hold it in your hand in a vertical orientation, although if you turn it into portrait mode, they will also work, although not so clearly (everything except the double tap works fine). In addition, any of the unlocking options can be disabled in the screen settings if it bothers you.

Another convenient feature is to turn on the camera from a locked state - just swipe the screen from top to bottom twice.

Screen

HTC 10 traditionally uses a display based on an IPS matrix (Super LCD5). Screen diagonal – 5.2"", resolution – 2560x1440 pixels, density – 565 ppi. A screen with maximum viewing angles: no matter what angle you tilt it at, diagonally, edges or edges, the picture is not distorted. There is a good reserve of brightness; in the sun the display remains readable.

Color rendition is close to natural. If necessary, you can select one of two color profiles (Rich, sRGB) and adjust each of them by dragging the slider from warm to cool tones and vice versa. Among displays based on IPS matrix, the screen in HTC 10 is one of the best, by eye, if not the best.

Viewing Angles

Automatic brightness adjustment works tolerably, as in most other smartphones: sometimes the brightness is adjusted well, sometimes not so much. Separately, you can enable the “With gloves” operating mode.

Camera

The most important innovation of the HTC 10 is not an updated design, a new platform or a fresh version of Sense, the most important thing is the camera. The smartphone has a main camera with a resolution of 12 megapixels, f/1.8 aperture, uses a BSI sensor with UltraPixel 2 technology, the pixel size is 1.55 microns, for comparison, the pixel size in the cameras of the Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge is 1.4 microns. There is optical stabilization, laser focusing and a flash of two LEDs of different tones.

The main camera module protrudes about one and a half millimeters above the surface of the body, which, of course, is not encouraging, but here it is.

The main question is whether or not the company’s engineers and programmers were able to realize the full potential of the camera? After all, as we know, all these lasers, ultrapixels and stabilization do not always lead to high-quality photographs. Yes, we succeeded.

Photo

First, let's consider shooting during the day, in good weather conditions, outside, in the sun.

IN good conditions The HTC 10 takes excellent pictures: excellent detail, good dynamic range, no serious distortion at the edges of the frame or in terms of geometry, no noise, the most accurate white balance and presence of details. It is important to note that the camera in HTC 10 does not embellish reality; daytime pictures turn out to be close to the real picture that you see with your own eyes. At the same time, the photographs turn out to be voluminous and deep.

The picture is approximately the same when shooting close-ups - the photographs are very voluminous, with good depth, while the camera carefully and beautifully blurs the background.

Let's move on to worse conditions - also good weather and shooting outdoors, but with a lack of natural sunlight, photographing in the forest.

Here, of course, the dynamic range is not so good, but otherwise everything is also not bad - sufficient sharpness, minimum distortion, accurate white balance in all frames.

Oddly enough, lack of light, evening, indoors and other conditions are not a problem for the HTC 10 camera. The frames are still with good sharpness and depth, while the noise level remains not just acceptable, but even low.

Macro photography has always been around strong point smartphones from HTC, but not in the case of the “ten”. The fact is that the photographs themselves turn out excellent: good sharpness in the foreground, beautiful background blur, a sense of depth and volume, but! To get this result, you need to try - the smartphone does not focus well on objects near, and it is simply difficult to catch the focus, not to mention the fact that if you want to photograph some leaf floating on a branch, you will have to take 10-15 frames, but it’s worth it .

You might say that all my rave about the HTC 10's camera is worthless without a real comparison with the camera leaders in the smartphone market. And I’m currently using a Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge as my main smartphone, a device with one of the best cameras on the market, so here’s a quick comparison.

Shooting during the day

Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge

What can you tell from the examples for comparison? Firstly, the sharpness of frames on Samsung is higher everywhere, in all conditions. This is a post-processing feature; the Samsung camera maximizes sharpness, and many people like it. On the HTC 10, frames against the background of the SGS7 Edge appear blurry, although, again, they are closer to reality, to what you saw with your own eyes when taking a photo. The HTC's camera leaves objects in the foreground sharp, blurring the rest of the shots, while the SGS7 Edge's frame is equally sharp across the entire area. This approach is good in difficult shooting conditions, but in good weather it plays a cruel joke on the camera. Where the HTC 10 preserves natural colors and details (foliage, shadows, etc.), halftones in the photo, the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge leaves conventional black, white, red, green, and so on, removing all intermediate tones and small information.

Where you see dark green foliage in the shadows on the HTC, the Samsung will just have a black spot. Where HTC has trees of different species, one with warmer tones, the other cool, Samsung will have two black trees in the shade, and so on. In fact, on both devices you can get good source RAW files with a lot of information and process them the way you like, but in terms of camera processing, the HTC 10 seems to me more successful when it comes to taking pictures in good shooting conditions.

Shooting at night

Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge

Shooting at night is the strong point of Samsung smartphones. However, HTC 10, as it turns out, takes very good photographs at night. In terms of white balance - in the example photos it may seem that it is correct in photographs from HTC and incorrect on Samsung. In fact, the truth is somewhere in the middle; white balance is not entirely accurate on both devices. For my taste, the HTC 10 camera chooses a more successful and natural BB in night shots, while Samsung's is all too yellow. Now about sharpness - the situation is exactly the same as when shooting during the day - Samsung even manages to take frames in complete darkness very sharp, you can see all the inscriptions and other details, with HTC the foreground comes out sharp, then everything is not so sharp. The advantage of this approach is that the pictures are deeper, the disadvantage is the feeling that they lack sharpness. However, in the case of Samsung, aggressive post-processing kills some details. Where in night shots from HTC you can, if you wish, guess which surfaces are made of what, you can see their texture and details, this will not happen on Samsung - the camera removes details, preferring greater sharpness of the frame as a whole.

However, if I can say unequivocally about daytime photos that I like the shots from the HTC 10 more, then about night photos I don’t. In my opinion, Samsung's main problem here, which is noticeable only when compared with another good camera, is that the white balance is too inaccurate. But excessive sharpness in such photos seems justified; nevertheless, at night, details and texture are difficult to see, but a sharp frame is good.

Let's return to HTC 10. The camera interface is familiar from other models of the company, an HDR Auto mode has appeared, and all the basic settings are in place. For some reason, the filters were removed (I couldn’t find them), but there is a convenient exposure setting near the focus point. Manual mode in place: You can adjust white balance (2300-7500K), exposure value (-3 to +3 in 0.1 steps), shutter speed (1/8000 to 2 seconds), ISO (100 to 3200) and manual focus . Pictures in this mode are saved in two formats, the usual JPG (3-5 MB) and DNG (28-35 MB) for subsequent processing in a photo editor.

In conclusion I want to say one thing simple thing– HTC engineers and programmers did a tremendous job, and they managed to present a smartphone with one of the best cameras on the market at a time when, it would seem, Samsung and Apple are unlikely to catch up with anyone. Yes, there is a company called Huawei, which is moving very quickly along the path of progress, but its cameras are not yet up to par with those mentioned, and so are the others. And now HTC, from which no one expected miracles, takes it and makes a gorgeous camera.

It is important to note that everything I said above relates specifically to the quality of photographs; it is excellent in the HTC 10. But there are two more points in which the camera in the top ten, I have to admit, is still inferior to the camera in the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge - the speed and comfort of shooting. By speed I mean the moment that passes from pressing the shoot button to the finished frame. The Samsung focuses and takes photos literally instantly, the HTC 10 is also very fast, but in the evening or at night you need to hold the smartphone for at least half a second to get a good shot, on the Samsung you don’t. Comfort – the speed of the camera interface, the speed of its launch and response to your actions. Here the HTC 10 is fast, but it also falls short of the Samsung Galaxy S7/S7 Edge. These two points, in fact, are rarely very critical, but, for example, if you have children, especially small ones, and you want to photograph them, capture moments, then I would advise you only SGS7/SGS7 Edge precisely because shooting speed. In this situation, the devices simply have no competitors, and this is important. Otherwise, I recommend the HTC 10 if you're looking for a smartphone with the best camera on the market.

Front-camera

“On paper,” the front camera of the HTC 10 is miraculously good: 5 megapixel resolution, a sensor with larger pixels (1.34 microns), f/1.8b aperture, autofocus, and “for the first time in the circus arena,” optical stabilization! In practice, autofocus is visible, but, as it turns out, this is more of a minus than a plus. Where conventional Samsung, Meizu, Xiaomi and any other smartphone simply takes a sharp shot of your face, HTC 10 first scours the autofocus for a couple of seconds and tries to find this very face. I can’t check the work of stabilization; to be honest, I don’t know how it helps here. I think they should have added stabilization and left the focus fixed. Then there would be no blurring when shooting on the go, but now it turns out that it’s impossible to take pictures on the go with a smartphone, because autofocus simply cannot be aimed.

In general, the photos taken with the front camera of the HTC 10 are good, no worse than with the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge or any other smartphone (well, perhaps the Nexus 6P and Xiaomi Mi5 are better), but when you see the specifications of the front camera in the device, you expect something from it at least the best results among modern smartphones, but this is not the case yet. I hope that in one of the firmware the company’s programmers will get to the software responsible for the operation of the front camera and bring it to fruition.

Video shooting

The smartphone records video in FullHD and 4k resolutions (3940x2160 pixels, 30 frames per second), and is also capable of recording slow-motion video and video in Hyperlapse mode. In video mode, autofocus tracking works. However, the quality of its work is still far from ideal: the focus wanders, and is often achieved 3-5 seconds after, for example, the moment you change from a close-up to a distant shot and back again. The work of optical stabilization is noticeable. Audio is recorded in stereo, flac format, 96000 Hz.

Of course, in terms of video, the progress in comparison with last year’s and other devices of the company is also very serious, especially in terms of picture quality, but otherwise in terms of video, HTC 10 is inferior to the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge, where the picture smoothness is higher, and autofocus performance is not satisfactory .

Comparison of HTC 10 and Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge cameras (Roman Belykh)

I asked Roman Belykh to look at all the photos presented in the review and express his opinion regarding the camera in the new HTC 10. Below are his detailed comments.

Artem Lutfullin wrote his conclusion after testing the cameras. Naturally, he knows better which apparatus behaved better in real life. However, I also became interested in looking at the pictures (unfortunately, at the ready-made frames, that is, I did not use either the HTC 10 or the Samsung S7), since before us are two titans, two powerful flagships.

In this case, I will not delve into the technical details of the gadgets; I will describe the quality only based on a comparison of two frames. I think that this approach is much clearer to most than listing matrix sizes and shutter speed values.

Shooting during the day

Tree and car

I would immediately like to note a more contrasting picture in the case of Samsung. It is so poorly constructed in terms of exposure that details are lost: pay attention to the tree trunk: it is almost invisible, it is dark. On the left of the car the wheels are invisible, the canopy (also on the left and a little further from the car) is also dark and the details cannot be made out. The second point is sharp. Frankly speaking, Samsung camera software almost always sinned with increasing the sharpness: visually the photo becomes sharper, but when it is enlarged, a halo is noticeable around the perimeter of contrasting objects.

Two trees and a car

Same situation. It’s even somehow sad to look at this photo from Samsung. The picture is again contrasting, the car is practically invisible, the foliage has disappeared under a dark veil, the door on the right has turned into a solid dark area. However, HTC, on the contrary, slightly increases the exposure; it would be nice to make the frame a little darker.

Overall: the photo looks better on the HTC 10

Green leaves and door

In this case, the Samsung image is nicer: the leaves are evenly green, the steps and the ground natural color. In the photo from HTC, the leaves are for some reason partly green, partly yellowish; tree with shades yellow color. Most likely, in this photo, HTC incorrectly determined the white balance and exposure, so there is a strong overexposure on the leaves.

Bridge

Here it makes sense to pay attention to the sky. It seems to me that Samsung did a better job with this. The color is natural, there are no artifacts, noise, the picture is clear. The long shot was better captured by the HTC, the image is less plasticine, although the water is more interesting in the Samsung.

Overall: the photo looks better when taken from the Samsung Galaxy S7

Bush with stone

This photo shows a similar situation to the photo “Green Leaves and Door”. It is clearly noticeable that HTC has difficulty taking pictures with contrasting details. Pay attention to the bush: the leaves are practically invisible, they are blurred, and the upper area is not at all successful HTC 10 - it is whitened. The color, it seems to me, is more natural on HTC; in the case of Samsung, the colors are somewhat oversaturated.

Overall: the photo looks better when taken from the Samsung Galaxy S7

Macro photography of flowers

In this case, I like the Samsung shots better. In some places, Samsung tries to “pull out” the picture in the shadows, while HTC does this without difficulty, so the image is clear throughout the entire field. The background blur is a little stronger in the HTC, the colors are better in the Samsung, and the sharpness is also higher in the Samsung. In macro, in general, sharpness (even if it is too high) always looks good - details are emphasized.

Overall: the photo looks better when taken from the Samsung Galaxy S7

Shooting at night

Tree

A very common mistake in Samsung software is the shift to warm colors in night shots. In this case, it is so: at the top left and on the right, the camera clearly did a poor job of “stretching” the image, so details were lost, and the image in these places became yellow. Oddly enough, the colors are nicer on the HTC, although the sharpness is slightly better in the frames from the Samsung S7.

Overall: the photo looks better on the HTC 10

Multi-storey building

About the same picture as in the case of “Tree”. The Samsung camera software made a mistake with the white balance, the house turned yellow. As for the details, there are more of them in the HTC photo, the image is cleaner, there is less “plasticine”, it looks more natural. Please note that the wires in the HTC photo are still more noticeable, the sky is blue, not gray.

Overall: the photo looks better on the HTC 10

Transformer booth

Definitely better than Samsung: sharper photography, accurate colors, a little more detail.

Pond and house

Once again Samsung takes the colors to warmer tones. HTC's house looks more natural, but the detailing is the same. In this case, the cameras make about the same noise. Samsung did a slightly better job with the night sky: note that HTC added a little red tint.

Total: parity.

Car

The first thing that catches your eye is the lack of detail in the dark. For example, the back of the car is better detailed in the photo from HTC, the ground looks better, Samsung missed the mark again on the colors. If you pay attention to the right side of the frame, you can see the license plate number of the car in the photo from HTC, but Samsung failed to do this. The structure of the earth at night is more accurately conveyed in the footage from HTC.

Overall: the photo looks better on the HTC 10

More examples of comparisons could be given, but conclusions can be drawn even on the basis of these data.

Key positive points of HTC:

• The module and software try to select the widest possible dynamic range
• The image usually accurately conveys the white balance
• The picture has more detail when shooting against the light
• Less depth of field – better artistic effect

Key negative points of HTC:

• The sky is usually in warm shades, yellowish
• Still, the picture is a small percentage less sharp, perhaps it seems so because Samsung increases the contrast
• Doesn't always work out the exposure correctly

Frankly, I was very surprised that the HTC 10 showed such a cool result when comparing it with the Samsung Galaxy S7. I can’t call one of the devices the leader: both take pictures very well. Out of 11 test frames, they took turns becoming the best, with one frame being par.

Sound

As you know, a bear stepped on both ears (as a child) and I cannot objectively or subjectively evaluate the sound quality of the new HTC 10. Those friends and acquaintances who have tried the smartphone in action traditionally note good quality sound in the headphones, you just have to trust them. As for the external sound, the HTC BoomSound technology, which has already become the company’s calling card, is used here.

Looking at the body of the HTC 10, you might not notice this, because previously all HTC devices with BoomSound were equipped with speakers located above and below the screen, but the HTC 10 simply has a different layout for their placement. One speaker is located at the bottom end, the second is combined with the ringer. Of course, the sound balance for the two speakers is configured differently here than in other smartphones from the company, but deep and loud, high-quality sound is in place. Among other things, the smartphone supports Dolby Atmos technology.

Autonomous operation

The smartphone uses a non-removable battery with a capacity of 3000 mAh. I used the HTC 10 as my main device for about a month and charged it every day at about 18-19 hours, taking it off the charger at 10-11. This is a typical work pattern for me, and the expected time from one charge is from morning until the end of the working day. On average, the load on the device in my case is as follows – an hour and a half telephone conversations, 10-20 text messages (you won’t believe it, but I still write them), mail, 3-4 hours of listening to music and constant use of the mobile Internet (Telegram, WhatsApp, WeChat, Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, Google Chrome). For those curious, I use the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge in exactly the same mode, and it discharges at about the same time - 18-19 hours. And I always carry an external battery with me.

The smartphone has a regular power saving mode, by turning it on, you can save battery power by lowering the screen brightness level, turning off data transfer and vibration. There is also a critical power saving mode. In this mode, the processor operates at a reduced frequency, most sensors and sensors are turned off, no data is transmitted when the screen is turned off, vibration is turned off and the screen brightness level is reduced. Moreover, in this mode, you have access to a limited set of applications, namely phone, mail (so far only configured through a proprietary client), messages, calendar and calculator. You cannot run other programs or add new ones to the list of those allowed to work in this mode.

Platform, memory

The smartphone is built on the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 (MSM8996) platform with support for 64-bit architecture, a dual-core processor with a frequency of 2.15 GHz (Kryo) and a dual-core processor with a frequency of 1.6 GHz (Kryo). Graphics subsystem (GPU) – Adreno 530. The device has 4 GB random access memory and 32/64 GB of internal memory for storing user data, there is also a slot for a memory card.

HTC 10 is not the first device based on the Snapdragon 820, given how successful this platform turned out to be (especially compared to last year’s 810), many manufacturers tried to release flagships on it without delay.

There are no questions about the smartphone in terms of performance and speed. Not in menus, not in applications, not in games. The interface runs smoothly, without lags or delays, programs launch instantly, games run at maximum settings with good FPS. I also did not notice any particular heating of the case.

This is the case when the top platform in a smartphone plays its role exactly as it should. When using HTC 10, you simply don’t think about what kind of processor it is, what kind of graphics chip, how many cores, how much memory - everything works great, and there’s simply no reason to remember about “platform”, “performance” and other things.

Interfaces

The smartphone operates in GSM (850/900/1800/1900), HSDPA (850/900/1900/2100) and LTE FDD bands 1, 3, 5, 7, 8 20, 28, 32 and TDD bands 38, 40. 41. There is support for LTE Cat 9. For synchronization with a PC and data transfer, the included USB Type-C cable with USB 3.1 support is used.

Bluetooth. Built-in Bluetooth 4.2 module with A2DP and LE support.

Wi-Fi (802.11 a/ac/b/g/n). HTC One 10 uses a dual-band Wi-Fi module. You can leave it to work in automatic mode, or you can manually specify the operating frequency band for Wi-Fi - only 5 GHz or only 2.4 GHz. The module works flawlessly. In additional settings, you can set the maximum performance mode (uncheck “Wi-Fi optimization”), and also enable or disable automatic connection to the last saved active network. When the module is operating, the device does not heat up.

Wi-Fi router. HTC 10 has the ability to “share” a 2G/3G/4G Internet connection via Wi-Fi. On the menu wireless networks select the “Mobile Internet sharing” option and then “Wi-Fi router”. Here, when starting for the first time, you need to select a network name and password (WPA2). You can also set the maximum number of connections to your smartphone (1-8) or separately prohibit or allow each new connection. When the utility is enabled, you can connect to the Internet, “distributed” via Wi-Fi by your smartphone, from any device, be it a laptop, another smartphone or tablet, and so on.

DLNA, HDMI. The smartphone supports DLNA technology: if you have a DLNA-compatible media server and other devices at home, you can use HTC 10 with them. For example, output sound or video from the device directly to the TV. HTC 10 also has HDMI support, the connector is combined with Type-C (MHL), and in order to use HDMI, you will need to buy a special cable.

NFC. HTC 10 has NFC support. There are still few use cases for this module. Specifically, HTC used this module to quickly connect a smartphone with wireless Bluetooth accessories (speaker, HTC mini+ remote control), now more relevant options are paying for travel using NFC or checking the balance on cards like Troika (in Moscow), Pasmo/ Suica (in Japan) and any others that support this feature.

Navigation

HTC 10 has support for GPS/A-GPS, the Russian Glonass system and the Chinese Beidou. Searching for satellites takes a minimum amount of time, 5-10 seconds. The device has a Google Maps application, the rest can be installed at your discretion. I don’t know why, but the “top ten” seems to have abandoned the special “In the car” mode. Let me remind you that on previous devices of the company it could be enabled for comfortable work with a smartphone when it is in a car holder and installed in your car. All elements became large, and it was convenient to press them with one finger, without going into any menus. I did not find this mode in HTC 10.

HTC Ice View Case (formerly Dot View)

HTC Dot View cases became a great idea at one time - an ordinary plastic book-sized case with a silicone lid perforated with blind holes and several colors to choose from - and what magic! I don’t know what pest in the company changed everything, but the point is that HTC Ice View is a similar idea, but with thick silicone cases and without holes. And if there are no holes, there is no more of this magic. The cases are ugly, and to be honest, I don’t know what else to say about them. I’m just very sad that they took and killed the idea of ​​Dot View like that, without warning.

Let me remind you that it used to look like this:

And then it was great. And now it’s just a case with some graphic daub.

HTC Sense Home

Judging by the firmware numbering in HTC 10, the new Sense is now just HTC Sense Home, without a number at the end, I’m not sure, but that doesn’t seem to be the case. One way or another, HTC One M9 had Sense 7 installed, and HTC 10 had Sense 8, if you follow the numbering. The interface is based on Android 6.0.1 and is a neat improvement of the seventh version.

In general, this is the same familiar Sense - beautiful, calm, moderately customizable, but not too difficult to get to know.

The only thing that personally upsets me about new versions of Sense is the lack of customization of the icon grid on the main screen. It's 2016, smartphones have 100-200 gigabytes of memory, Google Play hundreds of thousands of applications, the display resolution of the devices is higher than that of monitors and TVs, and I can still place only 16 application icons on the main screen of the HTC 10. Two years ago this flaw looked funny, a year ago it looked funny, today it’s not funny at all. The neighboring Samsung with its TouchWiz, which I criticized, comparing it with the shell from HTC, allows you to choose one of three grids: 4x4, 4x5 and 5x5. And HTC had a 4x4 grid seven years ago, in Sense 2.1 in 2009, and it remained so in the 2016 flagship, whose screen resolution is several times higher, let me remind you, 2560x1440 pixels versus 320x480 in HTC Hero, for example.

HTC Sense in 2009 and 2016, seven years have passed, but there were 16 icons, and they remain the same, progress!

I wanted to criticize Google for this shortcoming, but no, in the pure Android 6.0 OS there is a 5x5 grid, that is, 25 icons, which, of course, also does not give a wide choice, but still more than in Sense.

However, the new Sense also has cool things - for example, free themes. A free theme is the same design theme, but without linking icons to a strict layout (grid) and to any specific images. Roughly speaking, you can scatter icons across your desktop in any order and quantity, by assigning a specific program to each icon (image). Of course, it’s unlikely that many HTC 10 owners will bother with fine-tuning appearance interface using free themes, but there are good standard options in the Themes application.

Conclusion

Over the course of a month of using the HTC 10, I had no complaints about the quality of signal reception. The device picks up the network well, the sound in the conversational speaker is clear, without wheezing or extraneous noise, there is a volume reserve. The vibration alert is relatively strong and is felt, despite the size and weight of the device, in most situations. The volume of the ringing speakers is above average, probably thanks to HTC BoomSound and two speakers. I can't say that the speakers are super loud, but this is compensated by the high sound quality.

In Russia, the HTC 10 32 GB costs 50,000 rubles; there are no official sales of the 64 GB version, as far as I understand. Is it expensive? Definitely. Is a smartphone worth the money? In my opinion, yes. If we look at the competitors, we will find next to the HTC 10 such smartphones as Samsung Galaxy S7 (50,000 rubles), LG G5 SE (50,000 rubles), Huawei P9 (40,000 rubles), Xiaomi Mi5 (35,000 rubles), Meizu Pro 6 (33,000 rubles) and some others. Yes, if you don’t pay attention to the details, then, in general, all of these are worthy devices, but we are talking about an uncompromising flagship, right? And here the list is sharply reduced to HTC 10 and Samsung Galaxy S7/S7 Edge. Because some don’t have a top platform, some don’t have memory cards, not the best a high resolution screen and so on. And if a year ago it was simply ridiculous to compare the HTC One M9 with the Samsung Galaxy S6; objectively, the latter won in almost everything except design and materials, then the comparison of the flagships of this generation is completely fair.

On the side of the Samsung Galaxy S7, the camera is more comfortable to use, fast, with lightning-fast focusing and excellent video quality, but in terms of the quality of the photos themselves, the HTC 10 looks preferable. On the side of the HTC 10, the body is made of metal, the smartphone feels more reliable and of higher quality, and not so flimsy. The Samsung Galaxy S7 has water protection on its side, while the HTC 10 has stereo speakers, and the device sounds better than the Samsung. The screens are good in both smartphones, although the set of SuperAMOLED technologies in the SGS7 will certainly give odds to the IPS matrix in the HTC 10. The operating time is similar, the sound quality in the headphones, as users note, is better in the HTC 10, but I can’t give my assessment here Can.

If you ask me what I liked and disliked most about the HTC 10, then here is my answer. I didn’t like the touch button under the screen, which is also a scanner, I’d like to see a mechanical key here, I didn’t like the location of the “Back” and “Running Applications” keys strictly tied to the sensors on the body, I’m already used to the fact that they are in opposite places (or You can at least change them). But these are my nitpicking. HTC 10 has an amazing camera in terms of photo quality, and now I am faced with the urgent question of changing my Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge to HTC 10, because I bought the Samsung precisely because of its camera. In my case, photo quality is more important than shooting comfort, so the choice seems obvious, but it’s difficult to get rid of the previous device.

In conclusion, I would like to be sincerely happy for HTC. I don't know how much it will help good flagship The Taiwanese are in a financial situation (I think everything is going to the point that HTC will sell the smartphone business and focus on the Vive, and that will be right), but the HTC 10 turned out to be very cool. This is a chic, amazing smartphone that many have been waiting for from the company for the last five years, waiting, believing, and now this moment has come. The company has eliminated almost all the shortcomings for which its devices have been criticized all these years, and released a technically polished smartphone. A true flagship.

– with Qualcomm Snapdragon 652 and 3 GB of RAM. There are performance differences, but most users won't notice them. But the price difference is serious. We'll tell you about the special version of the new flagship in detail.

The case is metal, the frame around the perimeter is polished, the back is matte and does not slip out of your hands, there are three plastic inserts - stripes near the ends and on the top end. By the way, HTC 10 Lifestyle has three antennas for one cellular module.

On the front panel above the screen there is a fairly large camera and speaker. There is no speaker under the screen, as well as stripes with a logo. Due to this, the HTC 10 Lifestyle screen frames have become much thinner, so that the smartphone seems sleeker. The screen is protected from damage by 2.5D Gorilla Glass 3.

The dimensions of the smartphone are 145.9 x 71.9 x 9.0 mm, weight – 161 g. The body of the HTC 10 Lifestyle narrows to 3 mm towards the edges.

Control

The Home button is traditionally located below the screen and includes a fingerprint scanner.

There are touch buttons to the right and left of the scanner. On the right side of the smartphone there is a ribbed power key. A little higher is the volume rocker.

HTC 10 Lifestyle supports Motion Launch gesture control and Ice View cases. When you pick up your smartphone, the sound is automatically muted, and when you flip it over, the call signal is muted.

The HTC 10 Lifestyle has a 5.2-inch screen with a resolution of 2560x1440 pixels and a density of 546 ppi. Note that the human eye can distinguish about 400 dots per inch, so the picture is perceived as absolutely solid.

The display uses a fifth-generation Super LCD IPS matrix - the colors have become richer, the brightness margin has increased. Small print can be read without problems on a clear day. The screen has become more sensitive and responds 50% faster than its predecessors.

Performance

The basis of the HTC 10 Lifestyle is the 64-bit Qualcomm Snapdragon 652 chipset with a frequency of up to 1.8 GHz, which includes four ARM Cortex A72 cores and four more ARM Cortex A53 cores, as well as an X8 LTE modem and an Adreno 510 GPU graphics core. Compared to the top Qualcomm Snapdragon 820, the chip has slightly lower performance. But there is a Boost+ function that speeds up the smartphone. In addition, HTC 10 Lifestyle supports Cat.6 networks (300 Mbps, 50 Mbps), and HTC 10 supports Cat.9 networks (450 Mbps, 50 Mbps).

The smartphone has 3 GB of RAM and 32 GB of storage memory. There is also a slot for a microSD card with a capacity of up to 2 TB and a slot for a nanoSIM card.

HTC 10 Lifestyle runs on a 3000 mAh battery. In talk mode on 3G/4G networks it can last up to 27 hours, in standby mode – up to 19 days. With average usage, the battery capacity lasts for about two days. There are also two energy saving modes - standard and maximum. Quick Charge 3.0 is supported - the battery charges from 0 to 50% in half an hour.

Main camera

There has never been such a high-quality main camera in HTC smartphones. Its resolution is 12 MP, but it uses a proprietary BSI HTC UltraPixel 2 matrix, which receives more information about the image. Dot size – 1.55 microns, aperture – f/1.8.

The lens has an optical stabilization system. Its focal length is 26 mm, coverage angle is 80 degrees.

There is laser autofocus illumination. Double LED flash for better color reproduction.

On HTC 10 Lifestyle you can shoot 4K video with Hi-Res sound and take photos at the same time. The camera also allows you to create timelapse videos and videos at speeds of up to 120 frames per second in 720p resolution. In the professional mode of the camera, you can configure a wide range of parameters and save photos in RAW format (12 bit).

Front-camera

The camera on the front also uses UltraPixel technology, but its resolution is lower - 5 MP. But there is optical image stabilization. The viewing angle is 86 degrees, the aperture is ƒ/1.8, the focal length is 23 mm, and the dot size is 1.34 microns. HDR mode, voice control and Full HD 1080p video recording are supported.

Acoustics

HTC smartphones have always had excellent sound quality, and the HTC 10 Lifestyle is no exception. BoomSound Hi-Fi edition technology has been implemented, one speaker is located above the screen, the second has been moved to the bottom end of the smartphone.

The smartphone has a built-in 24-bit DAC and headphone amplifier. Each speaker has separate high- and low-frequency drivers.

A special feature of the new model is support for losless audio and Dolby Audio Surround. In addition, when you connect new headphones, the smartphone will offer to configure them: automatically, answering questions, or manually - set the desired values ​​for individual frequencies in each headphone.

The delivery set includes branded Hi-Res Audio headphones with membranes made of 8 micron thick polymer, which is used in the aerospace industry. The size of the drivers has been increased by 70% compared to previous standard models. By the way, you can create your own sound profile for each pair of headphones.

The sound reception system is also interesting. HTC 10 Lifestyle has three built-in microphones and active noise reduction. Hi-Res stereo audio recording is supported.

Communications and sensors

HTC 10 Lifestyle includes a set of sensors and ports that are included in almost all top smartphones. In addition to the latest Bluetooth 4.2 and dual-band Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac (2.4 and 5 GHz), there is an NFC contactless sensor. In addition, HTC 10 Lifestyle has a Display port for connecting external screens, an accelerometer, a gyroscope, a magnetic sensor, a digital compass, proximity and light sensors. There is also a traditional 3.5 mm jack for a stereo headset, as well as USB 2.1 Gen 1, Type-C (note that

In terms of battery life, everything is fine, although the Samsung Galaxy S7 turned out to be more durable. With sufficiently active use with adaptive backlight brightness, the owner of the HTC 10 can count on a full day of work - from early morning to late evening. But in addition to this, I note exceptionally fast charging with a proprietary adapter. The smartphone is fully charged in less than two hours. A half-hour session next to an outlet will give you about half a day of battery life. But in all this one can also see a small minus. The USB-C connector, which is used in the HTC 10, is not yet so common, and if you forget to take the cable with you, it will not be so easy to borrow it from friends or colleagues. But this is a temporary phenomenon - literally in a year or two there will be plenty of smartphones with USB-C, and you will be able to find the appropriate cable at every step.

Competitors

Samsung Galaxy S7/S7 Edge

The most obvious alternative to the HTC 10 is, of course, the Samsung Galaxy S7. It costs exactly the same money. If we talk about design, I would give preference to HTC. The all-metal body looks somehow more solid than the easily soiled gloss of the S7. But it also has its own twist. The performance is almost the same, and in terms of autonomy, HTC is slightly inferior. But if we compare smartphones according to each individual parameter, the latest Galaxy will be in the lead - it has a better screen and a built-in camera.

HTC 10 phone. Everything you expect from a flagship device and more. Unrivaled performance. Luxurious 24-bit Hi-Res Audio sound. Optical image stabilization, introduced for the first time* in both the main and front cameras. And all this in a skillfully crafted all-metal casing.
* Based on internal research of the product lines of major smartphone manufacturers as of March 2016, using statistics from the GSMArena resource and other sources.

New generation camera

Equipped with perhaps the best camera among smartphones on the market today. You'll appreciate innovations like the world's first* optical stabilization system implemented in both the main and front cameras, 12 million UltraPixel sensors, fast laser focusing and much more. A worthy result of our efforts.

Luxurious Hi-Res Audio sound

HTC 10 sets a new gold standard for audio quality. New HTC BoomSound Hi-Fi edition, personal sound profiles and Hi-Res Audio certified headphones. All this works perfectly on HTC 10, a device with certified support for Hi-Res Audio. It's hard to believe that a smartphone can provide such sound.

Flawless Performance

On the HTC One M10, apps launch faster and run more smoothly, the screen responds to your every touch, and programs run flawlessly. It's exactly what you'd expect from truly best-in-class hardware and software, the settings of which have been brought to perfection.

Built to last for long hours on a single charge

Every detail was created so that the device would work faster, while using fewer resources and saving battery power. Therefore, you can forget about the outlet for 2 days*. At the same time, when charging, the smartphone does not heat up, and the battery charges faster than ever - the charge speed from zero to 50% will be 30 minutes! Enough to last you all day!

Hope- Apr 4, 2017

The NTS 10 smartphone fully complies with the stated characteristics. Of course, I would like a more powerful battery, but it’s not critical. I like the design, excellent sound, quite decent camera. A definite plus is 4G support. Interesting functions: gesture control and muting the sound when picked up. NTS 10 is worth the money, you don’t mind paying for quality.

Sergey- Apr 1, 2017

Very good impression so far from this phone. I purchased it about a month ago, and I am very pleased with the purchase, I got everything that I expected from HTC 10. I would especially like to note the good battery, for 3000 mAh it has very good performance, I am sure that the declared capacity corresponds to reality. The main camera and good screen undoubtedly deserve a positive rating. But the front camera on the HTC 10 was not particularly impressive.

Svetlana- Mar 29, 2017

In the near future I plan to purchase NTS 10. This model has a very attractive design. A shockproof metal case is very important; you often accidentally drop your phone and for this reason some models fail. The battery charge lasts a long time, this is also a big plus. Great camera and sound. In general, I can’t wait to become the owner of NTS 10.

Dimonchik- Mar 27, 2017

HTC knows how to make interesting smart phones. Although it is no longer new today in terms of hardware, it is still the standard of a top-end smart phone. With an excellent camera and speakers, even now it can compete with modern flagships. I like the design best with the cut corners on the back panel.

Romanych- Mar 23, 2017

I was pleased with the camera and sound, there is something to compare with. Even the LV and Sonevsky cameras are of worse quality, it seems to me. But the hardware could be better. The battery reserve lasts for a long time, but I won’t say that it’s something out of the ordinary; under load it stays stable until the evening.

Yarik- Mar 20, 2017

It's a pity that the model now has old hardware inside. At the time of release it was one of the best of its kind. What I liked most was the design of the screen with sound. The entire NTS line had a high level of sound. With iron inside he still pulls most content, but a bit old for some modern games. The battery is durable, even by modern standards.

Olga- Mar 17, 2017

HTC 10 good smartphone with a user-friendly interface and a lot of useful functions. I’m especially pleased that the battery lasts two days; the previous smartphone had to be charged every day. Good camera, the photos are bright and clear, but the video quality is worse.

Skripnik25- Mar 14, 2017

I try to keep up with the times. Therefore, among new phones from different brands, I chose HTC 10. And I didn’t regret it for a second. Firstly, it's a great design, feels great in the hand and looks very stylish. Secondly, it has everything you need to modern man. Excellent camera - in Lately I completely forgot about the SLR camera. The phone is really very durable (in terms of battery). This is what I was looking for!

Julia- Mar 11, 2017

I recently lost my iPhone and the store offered me an HTC. I remembered that these smartphones had been praised before and decided to buy them. Overall the phone is very good. It has all the necessary functions, and the photo quality is simply gorgeous. Android is good - applications open quickly.

Connoisseur- Mar 7, 2017

A high-quality device from the reliable HTC, which has accustomed us to excellent quality. The 12 megapixel camera takes excellent pictures, the speaker system plays music with very high-quality sound. The capacious 3000 mAh battery deserves special attention. The gaming capabilities of HTC 10 are amazing!

Elena- Mar 4, 2017

For me, HTC 10 is an excellent and high-quality phone. It works for a very long time, the battery lasts for a long time, the camera here is of a new generation, the photos are clear and high quality. The characteristics of NTS 10 are excellent, it is very easy to understand, I also like the design. I can confidently recommend him.

Ilya- Mar 1, 2017

As for me, NTS is an undeservedly forgotten company; at one time, it was its smartphones that were the standards of “how to do it,” and not all sorts of Samsungs and Apples. Therefore, this smartphone deserves at least attention. True, I didn’t really like the external design for iPhone 7, but even without that, I think it’s good enough.
