Overview

The smartphone crafted with obsession. You get unprecedented control. Off the chart performance. And innovations like the world’s first dual OIS cameras front and back for pro level photos, as well as end-to-end 24-bit Hi-Res sound.

HTC 10 redefines what a great phone is truly meant to be.

World first in imaging* - OIS camera front and back
In a world first, both HTC 10's main and selfie cameras feature Optical Image Stabilisation (OIS)*, allowing you to take blur-free images, even in low light. Add on a new 12MP UltraPixelTM 2 sensor, superfast laser focus, a f/1.8 lens, and Hi-Res 4k video on the main camera, and you have one of the best low light cameras around.

Straight from the studio - 24-bit Hi-Res audio and HTC BoomSound™ Hi-Fi edition
The HTC 10’s 24-bit Hi-Res audio capabilities take audio playback to the next level. Our new HTC BoomSound™ Hi-Fi edition speakers feature the same separated tweeter and woofer design as the leading acoustic systems around the world.

Recharge Faster – 50% battery charge in just 30mins#
We’ve engineered HTC 10 from the inside out to stay running longer – up to 2 days of normal use#. Each component has been selected and tuned to use less power. It’s all part of an innovative new system we call PowerBotics - which enhances efficiency across every element of the phone and delivers up to 30% longer battery life.

All about touch - The most responsive experience
Every aspect of this phone has been optimised, from its hardware to its system software, to deliver the most refined touch experience around. Screen interactions follow your finger perfectly and smoothly, apps launch instantly and your fingerprint unlocks the phone in a lightning fast 0.2 seconds.

Smarter, faster, leaner - Streamlining the smartphone
Take control of your phone. HTC 10 has been engineered from the ground up to run faster, lighter and use less memory. Enabling you to do more without any slow down. We’ve also preloaded fewer applications, choosing the best from Google and HTC, to free up more space for you to use.

    Which one is better, HTC One or HTC U Ultra?

    • pennypincher98 on 24/04/2018 - 14:53
      +5

      HTC One refers to the original HTC One (M7) released 5 years ago. Are you meaning the HTC 10?

      • jassssone on 24/04/2018 - 14:55

        Sorry my bad, I mean this one, HTC 10

        • pennypincher98 on 24/04/2018 - 14:59
          +7

          In that case I would definitely go with the HTC 10.
          Although if you are after weird liquid glass design and a slightly gimmicky second screen that makes the phone in general bigger there's the U Ultra?

          Imo, HTC U Ultra was a flop. HTC 10 is an actual flagship contender.

    • Ranagade on 26/04/2018 - 16:36

      • illz on 26/04/2018 - 16:45

        It doesn't show up in settings but I think it's auto enabled because 'HTC Mirrorlink' is preinstalled by default.

    • dingdong3000 on 24/04/2018 - 15:19

      I thought their best was HTC M7 with front facing speakers. They should have continued that trend

      • xyron on 24/04/2018 - 15:34
        +5

        In that case, the M8 or M9 were better iterations of that formula. But the 10 is just so well-made and still has a headphone jack…

      • Mitch889 on 24/04/2018 - 16:28

        The M7 was the perfect size with a great display, but the battery life and camera were garbage. Still loved mine though.

    • albert0pia on 24/04/2018 - 16:40

      You've clearly never heard of the U11+.

      • xyron on 24/04/2018 - 16:40
        +8

        I have heard of it. It doesn't have a headphone jack. It fails the test.

        It's also a massive scratch-magnet which the HTC 10 wasn't thanks to its anodized coating.

        They really don't make'em like they used to!

  • hambeet on 24/04/2018 - 15:19

    This seems like quite a powerful phone for the price. It doesn't look as nice as some of the newer phones though, but I think I could get over that for the price point.

  • Supercool on 24/04/2018 - 15:30
    +2

    I bought this phone a year or so ago now and recommend it.. no issues other than expected battery degrade. Typing on it now.

    At this price just grab it.

  • Sporange on 24/04/2018 - 15:30

    HTC 10 is such a solid phone, and a true successor to the M8.

    Had this phone for over 2 years now, and only replaced it a couple of weeks ago due to a couple of bugs caused by me (profanity) around with the ROM's while not really knowing what I was doing.

    It's snappy, relatively light on the Android OS, easy to use 1-handed, and sturdy.
    The 24bit DAC/AMP is also a godsend for those who like to use powerful headphones with their phone.

    The battery life only recently started showing its age 2 years on, but it would still get me through a day of moderate usage without much issue.

    The back camera is pretty good, but its best quality mode shoots in 4:3 (good if you use instagram, not so good otherwise) The front camera is pretty trash, so don't be expecting to take great selfies. Serviceable, but not a positive experience.

    Would recommend this device for anyone looking for power on a budget. This phone was one of the most underrated flagships of 2016, and it's a damn shame HTC didn't push this phone harder.

    Their newer flagships have left much to be desired with the u11 coming close to being a strong contender, but the omission of a headphone jack was a dealbreaker, IMO.

    • garage sale on 24/04/2018 - 16:16
      +1

      so many cheap 12 mth old flagships, LG G6, V20, ZTE Axon 7, HTC 10 ……. it's a buyers market if you don't want current flagship phone, and pick one that will still get Oreo.

      Just got a Xiaomi M1 A1 for the kid, but the HTC is worth the extra $100, AU charger, warranty, and band 28 for the 60GB data plan.

  • Kets on 24/04/2018 - 15:32

    • montorola on 24/04/2018 - 16:05

      I like how it says it can charge 50% in half an hour. Is this true in real life?

      • get-innocuous on 24/04/2018 - 16:44
        +3

        Yeah that's real. Any phone with fast charge can numbers like that on the bottom half of the battery. Charging slows right down above 70% though.

      • iforgotmysocks on 24/04/2018 - 19:03
        +1

        Yes, comes bundled with a fast charger.

    • garage sale on 24/04/2018 - 16:08
      +2

      depends if battery life is short due to the number of charge cycles it has done, if it was QC charged (hot) or just 2.1 amp overnight which is gentler on batteries.
      Also what is running in the background , it's amazing how some apps run in the background when you think they were quit.

      18 mths with daily charge is over 500 cycles ….. this is where apple users grin on the $90 battery replacement deal.

      I think the life of the battery is designed around 2 years to align to end of android updates for a phone e.g end of support.

      • iforgotmysocks on 26/04/2018 - 09:12
        +1

        More than likely the QC charging daily has killed it. According to accubattery the estimated capacity is 2000-2100mAh.

        I run a pretty light app load, mostly screen on time and 4G/wifi usage

  • user01 on 24/04/2018 - 16:14

    how does Snapdragon 820 compared with 660?

    • Kikkoman56 on 24/04/2018 - 16:27
      +6

      Cpu wise - pretty comparable in multithreaded applications, the SD820 is still marginally faster however.
      Gpu wise - SD820's Adreno 530 GPU is about 2x faster than the Adreno 512 in the 660.
      In terms of power consumption, I'd assume the 660 has the edge.

      Day to day usage excluding intensive games they'd probably provide about the same experience I'd imagine.
      The current Snapdragon 636 used in the new Redmi Note 5 Pro is also based on the same core architecture (Kryo 260) as the SD660 and it's getting praise in the reviews I've seen for being an ideal balance of performance and power consumption (Aforementioned phone averaged 9 hours SoT with 4000mAh battery).
      In comparison, I only get about 4 hours SoT on my SD820 powered phone.

      • user01 on 24/04/2018 - 23:42

        wow. such a big difference on power consumption. i will pass SD820 then. Thanks a lot.

      Battery life is limited to one day of usage.

      Not sure how much you use your phone but the only phone where I don't need to charge every day or throughout the day is the Pixel 2 XL.
      Around 8-9hrs of usage (less screen on time) is normal for me.

      HTC 10 is one of the best HTC phones around. Still.

        When I'm travelling and use a lot of gps and roaming internet it destroys the battery. I could drain it in four hours on roaming data easily. Yes, most phones are the same, but there are exceptions. It remains a con for all phones with standard sized batteries.

    Awesome phone for the price. I bought mine about 18 months ago from JB Outright. Snapdragon 820 still runs pretty well, awesome audio with built in DAC, Oreo 8.0 update came through in Feb, camera isn’t the fastest or the best, but if up give it a sec or two to focus it takes great shots and manual mode is pretty decent. Screen is decent, but doesn’t work well when looking through polarised sunglasses.

  • CaptainNewspeak on 24/04/2018 - 18:36

    Wish i didn't already have this phone so I could snap it up at this price!
    Keep in mind that this is a 2 year old phone though. But in saying that, the nougat and Oreo updates came quick and didn't noticeably affect performance.
    I hope, but don't expect that htc will keep supporting this phone.

    Also make sure you don't get stuck with the unlocked htc 10s with Telstra firmware from jb. They get updates only when Telstra allows it, and come with bloatware.

    • Jmally25 on 24/04/2018 - 19:01

      JB's page says "*Device is unlocked and will work on any Australian network. Device will contain Telstra Software."

      So how do you not "get stuck" with it? Can you refresh stock without voiding any warranties?

        I bought mine about a year ago and got a Telstra unlocked one, i had connection issues and other problems with it and they happily swapped it with a non Telstra unlocked htc 10, which they said was the one I was supposed to initially get.

        JB do sell non Telstra handsets for htc 10, and I would recommend asking if they have any of those before settling for the Telstra ones

          I see, interesting. No stock in SA, so delivery would be my only option. GSM Arena shows only two hardware versions, so the ROM would be the only difference. Should be easy enough to flash without voiding anything.

        • Fobsessive on 30/04/2018 - 00:16

          So the Telstra unlocked ones are a different ROM to unbranded versions? Rather than just an unbranded version plus bloat Telstra apps?

      not exactly an upgrade. this phone will serve you well for a few more years if you need a phone, though.

    • lostn on 24/04/2018 - 20:57

      The SoC was released same year as S7's. The US version of S7 uses the same SoC.

    • xrailgun on 25/04/2018 - 00:03

      In the same situation, it's really a downgrade unless your S7 is dying.

      No wireless charging, AMOLED screen (night time viewing is annoying), and water resistance.

      It has stereo speakers but they aren't both front-facing, so it feels rather odd.

      If you really had to replace at this budget range, consider the Axon 7 when it's on sale.

    Using it now. Am in Japan and got mine originalky in August 2016. Unfortunately recently (Jan, so about 1.5 years) the phone started completely dying. Like, it would be at 50% and then just shut off randomly and when I hard rebooted, maybe 4% battery life.

    I managed to get a replacement with insurance through AU, however the replacement had serious digitiser issues; completely not registering touches all around the edges of the screen. Got a free replacement a week later (couple of weeks ago now) and touch wood it seems to be okay.

    Both these things appeared to be common enough issues. Be aware. I paid $900 so expected more. For $350 it's a damned solid phone, with SD card expansion

    • Anndrenalyn on 24/04/2018 - 21:34

      What you can claim that through insurance? My battery died as well and I paid for a new bartery change.

      • Mr Wowtrousers on 24/04/2018 - 22:55

        Ahhh, this was a Japan thing. Turn out I was paying a monthly insurance thing I didn't know about (Maybe $3/mth) with my provider, AU, and I got a replacement phone for maybe $40. The second replacement was free because the first replacement was borked from day one.

        Edit: Check info about the Australian Consumer Law and phones though. I am pretty sure 2 years is now considered normal to seek repairs. I haven't been in Aus for a while but I recall reading something like that.

      You want to record music using the phone?….

      • kiLbiL on 25/04/2018 - 00:53

        yeah?

          Using the in-built microphone?

          …assuming you just wanna record events and stuff that you go to…the HTC 10 does an awesome job. There's no distortion, it's really clear.

          edit: ok, maybe my recollection of the event was a bit cloudy: https://youtu.be/pnw8uWs_ioM Still, much better than previous phones

          edit2: hmmm, just watched the video again, not sure why it uploaded as 360p…

          edit3: ok, it was crappy quality because I'd recorded it through WhatsApp instead of the native app. Here's something from Roger Waters: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LH8EtLUrsfU

    BTW, if you dig around, you may be able to get JB Hifi gift cards for 5% off. I recently discovered I can through Red Energy rewards; others may be able to through work.
