So they've gradually been removing features from the front of the phone, while somehow retaining the massive chin and forehead? Hats off to HTC's engineers for that stunning achievement, let's see if the marketing team can save this one - my money's on no
Battery life? Dual Sim? Removable storage?
Nothing compelling as far as I can see. Shame.
Samsung has arguably the best looking phone with waterproofing and micro SD and best in class camera (yes I know the reviews aren't in yet, but check the pictures).
LG has the modular nature, supposedly great in-hand feel and a new design, and dual camera for wide FOV photos (giving a faux zoom effect)
Xaiomi with the Mi 5 have a great screen size to width ratio, light weight, high spec, beautiful design and low price
Apart from a new design (which doesn't impress if I'm honest) what is HTC bringing to the table...presumably a price comparable to Samsung / LG, probably no micro SD or water proofing (based on previous designs). Screen is same size and res as the Xaomi Mi 5, so it'll be interesting to see the weight and width of the HTC 10, given Xaiomi managed to fit this into a 69.2mm width and 129g (with a 3000mAh battery to boot).
Anyone wanting to bet on the HTC camera being any good compared to LG / Sansumg's offerings...I doubt it based on previous efforts...
Looks like a 5th year sticking with my HTC One X :-/
I got the 9 and I'm liking it. Camera wise the Samsung still tops. though.
It will have a curved back, which ought to make it better in the hand than the rest of the phones mentioned (the one negative of my Nexus 6P), but apart from that...Quote:

I would agree in general but IMO, the M7 was (at the time) fantastic....even with the small pixel count, very few devices if any could match the pictures it produced.Quote:

looks bulky. hope due to larger battary inside.
the nexus 6p is sick. very good camera
It looks...... like almost every other phone out there.
Seriously, I don't get the whole "looks" thing. It looks for all intents and purposes almost exactly like my S5.
Phones are once again getting bigger and bigger, but are now so thin and smooth I can barely hold them. I had to chuck mine in an Otter box just so I wouldn't drop it!
Specs are another matter of course.
Hmm, my memory says I was fighting the M7's its corner to a large degree before release, but then when the phone came out the camera didn't live up to the specs, to the point where an equivalent flagship phone with larger MP resized down to the 4MP M7 didn't look any worse and actually looked better in some scenarios, even in low-light.Quote:

I bought a nokia windows phone 640 onsale in US for $30! Its ok has a reasonable amount of apps.
