HTC has now made official the HTC 10. A subject of numerous supposed leaks and speculations, the official reveal of the new HTC 10 finally confirms its design, specs, and features.
One of the rumored main selling points of the new HTC 10 is its camera, and HTC itself put up a number of teasers to focus on the feature. With the launch of the new flagship this week, It is now confirmed that the HTC 10 carries an UltraPixel camera setup. In a hands-on review by GSM Arena, it is revealed that the company delivered on its promise to provide "the best-ever camera" on the smartphone, as reportedly, the main 12MP shooter on the back got a perfect 10 rating from imaging experts DxOMark.
In addition, HTC has also revolutionized the selfie camera for the HTC 10, as the iteration features the world's first OIS-enabled selfie camera on the front.
Meanwhile, The Verge also confirms that many of the speculated features under the hood of the HTC 10 are spot on. As a flagship, the new 10 indeed features a Snapdragon 820 processor paired with 4GB of RAM. It is also confirmed that the flagship has a 3,000-mAh battery. However, HTC assures that the capacity is stable enough that it can provide up to two days' worth of battery life, since much of the 10's internal components are optimized.
While the HTC 10 builds up on previous flagship iterations, it also introduces a number of new features. One of the most noted is the new Hi-Fi audio system. Reportedly, HTC specifically partnered with JBL for this feature.
The new HTC 10 will reportedly have global shipping starting next month, but some carriers have already set up pre-orders for the new flagship. Meanwhile, although the 10 is expected as a global release, some regions are reportedly still waiting for confirmation of the HTC 10's availability in the areas.
