After the unimpressive performance of HTC 10, the company is now going to bring the phone’s scaled down version to the market. HTC Desire 10 is expected to be able to do what its sibling can’t.

HTC Desire 10: mid-range flagship

This year, the Taiwanese brand released its flagship – HTC 10. It’s one of the best smartphones of the company. However, this phone hasn’t brought much success to the company like the first expectation. And now, this smartphone maker may bring a toned-down version of this flagship to the market. Lately, Evan Blass– a well-known leaker- has just posted on his twitter. According to him, another variant of HTC 10 – HTC Desire 10- could be introduced this year . So, will this version get the spotlight of success?

Belonging to the Desire lineup, this phone will aim at the budget market. So, it will have low-end specs and normal design. If you’re looking for a high-end smartphone, HTC 10’s scaled down version is probably not for you. However, this doesn’t mean that all the Desire phones aren’t worthy to be expected. New Desire phone of HTC is reported to sport many features of HTC 10. The primary cam of this new phone is said to be similar to the one on HTC 10. It may have a plastic design, instead of metal.

HTC Desire 10 is expected to be powered by a Snapdragon 652 processor and Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow. It packs a 3GB of RAM and a 32GB of inbuilt storage. For photography, there’ll be a 2MP selfie cam and a 12MP rear shooter with a dual LED flash, and laser auto focus. In addition to HTC Desire 10 specs, the device will feature 5.0-inch Full HD display and a 2100mAh battery life.

HTC Desire 10: price and release date

If you’re looking for a good smartphone which is under Rs. 20,000, you come to the right place. We’ve listed top 7 best-selling smartphones with that criterion for you. Let’s check it out!

1. Lenovo Vibe P1

The first comes to our “best-selling smartphones” list is Lenovo’s representative- Vibe P1. This phone was launched at the same time with Lenovo Vibe P1m and Vibe S1 – October 2015. After that, the phone caught many attentions thanks to its enormous 4900mAh battery life. With this capacity, you can use the device within 2 days. P1 shows up with a Samsung front look and a HTC One M8 rear look.

Abou the Lenovo Vibe P1 specs, you’ll find an octa-core SND 615 processor. Comes along with that chipset is a 2GB RAM paired with a 32GB ROM (expandable to 256GB). A 5.5-inch Full HD display is what you can find on the phone. For the photography, P1 is equipped with a 5MP selfie snapper and a 13MP main cam. Besides, Lenovo phone runs on Android 5.1 and supports NFC, 4G LTE. Lenovo Vibe P1 price is about Rs. 15,499.

Smartphone with a big battery is always a hot item. There are so many OEMs stepping into this market. So, who’s gonna be the winner in the long battery life smartphone battle ?

Long battery life smartphone: Samsung vs Sony

Smartphone battery is one of buyers’ most interests. This is in the top reasons for smartphone choice. That’s why many smartphone manufacturers focus on this feature. There’ve been many companies releasing their phones with big batteries. Let’s see which brand has the most impressive battery life so far. A survey of smartphone battery life was conducted in the last three years by Phone Arena team.

As you can see from the chart, Samsung and Sony are the two highlight companies offering the best battery so far. However, Sony has the unstable frequencies due to the 6-month upgrade cycles. In the early of 2013, its average cell is just 300 minutes, but at the end of 2014, this cell is up dramatically thanks to Xperia Z3. And after that, it falls again with the Xperia Z3+ and Xperia Z5, and go up again with Xperia X.

Among the three others big names: iPhone, HTC, LG and Motorola, HTC’s battery capacity seems to be the most stable with the growth rate from 350-425’. However, the company doesn’t have any breakthrough. Moto X is in the same case as it can’t pass the number 400. The big brand from the US has a battery improvement after being complained. With the average cell of 500 minutes, iPhone has even passed the Galaxy S lineup. LG can’t follow the success of LG G2. LG is on the lowest level in the top 5 big brands.

Long battery life smartphone: Sony is crowned

So, Sony and Samsung is the two best battery phones so far. The most highlight of Samsung is the Galaxy Note series. The battery of this lineup continues to raise. Generally, Sony still surpasses its rival from Korea for the last two years despite being not stable.

HTC 10 flagship is no doubt one of the most worthy launched to our market thus far. If you have been wondering, here are 5 things you need to know about the smartphone

HTC 10 flagship – don’t miss it out

First off, HTC 10 mobile falls into the higher-end category for having 4GB RAM on board in combination with Snapdragon 820 chip set. And we will be straight: HTC 10 price is not very affordable to many users – it costs around USD 780. However, together with the monster price, HTC 10 makes sure to offer monster specs and quality. That’s also the second thing you need to know: HTC 10 is confident enough in its quality when coming with such a price tag

Thirdly, keep in mind that HTC 10 is a camera-centric smartphone. It has a 12MP rear shooter that comes with Autofocus and OIS to maximize the image quality taken by the phone. For selfie lovers, there is 5MP front snapper to be equipped. Forth thing we want you to know is that, HTC 10 design has a very premium look with all metal body and a handy 5.2 inch display that feels great on your hand.

Last but not least, HTC 10 is not going to be launch alone. There is a slightly lower version of the phone coming up, named HTC 10 Lifestyle. The variant has 3GB RAM, same 3,000 mAH battery, same screen size and camera modules. However, the phone offers a much better price : only USD 515 comparing to the USD 780 tag of HTC 10.

HTC 10 – is it worth the money?

Knowing 5 of the HTC 10 features, do you think it is worth paying such a price for this beast? HTC has been well known for their good premium products which last long and perform smoothly. And over all, regardless of the price, many love HTC 10 for its gorgeous design and outstanding camera quality.

Samsung Galaxy S7 launched and released on March 1st and it’s now becoming the most popular trend in the world. But we still think that you should pick its biggest competitor – the HTC 10 smartphone. Here are our reasons why some HTC 10 specs are more outstanding than Samsung Galaxy S7.

Less boat and cleaner Android

HTC 10 brings a comfortable experience to users by co-operating with Google to remove the unnecessary duplicate apps. You won’t be annoyed by two mail apps, two calendar apps, or two browsers on HTC 10. It’s gonna be different on S7, there will be  Google apps in parallel with Samsung apps, and those apps have the same functions. This Samsung Galaxy S7 specs will cause you a little inconvenience.

Fingerprint resistant

It’s undeniable that S7 is the beautiful smartphone with a stunning design, especially with the back cover which was made of glass. However, this elegant glassy back cover will be full of fingerprint stains and become really greasy. On the contrary, HTC 10 is the all-in-one metal design which will give you a solid felling when holding it; it also limits dust and fingerprint.

Best choice for selfie

There was no smartphone which had optical image stabilization (OIS) on the front camera in the world until HTC 10 showed up. This features allows longer shutter speeds and sharper-looking selfies. HTC 10 camera selfies with the 5-megapixel front shooter will give you detailed photos with natural looking colors, even in the dark. S7 mobile only has the 5-megapixel camera, no OIS. Obviously, HTC 10 smartphone will be a better choice.

High-quality DAC that delivers great audio

If you want  high-quality music, a good headset is the requirement. But it’s not the only vital element, you also need a good DAC to deliver the signal to those headphones. HTC 10 has what it takes to give you the best sound with awesome music. For those who are music-holic, HTC 10 smartphone is a great choice for you.

Convenient USB-C port

One of the HTC 10 specs which is so much more convenient despite the small size – USB-C port. With reversible plugs, you can easily use it. Unlike Samsung Galaxy S7, you have to be careful to insert micro USB in the right direction.

5 Reasons why you should choose HTC 10 over Galaxy S7!

With all those spectacular specs, we still think that HTC 10 is a better option for you to choose, even though it doesn’t have a flashy and gorgeous look like S7. With the price of $699, you will have a HTC 10 with so many surpass specs in your hand.

HTC has just released their newest flagship HTC 10 (aka HTC One M10). We wonder whether it is a real more advanced smartphone than its predecessors HTC One M7, M8, and M9 or not. If you feel like us, check out the following comparison to get the result! 

HTC One M7 vs M8 vs M9 vs HTC 10: How HTC flagships developed

Design-wise, looking at the picture above shows us that the first three handsets look pretty alike while the last one, or the latest one, does carry a different design language. Obviously, the familiar large dual front-facing speakers, big main camera and curved back no longer exist on the HTC 10. Instead, it has a physical home button equipped with a fingerprint sensor underneath, a smaller shooter, and a flat back with rounded edges. We think it is more elegant and comfortable in hands than before. But, what’s your opinion?

Apart from the appearances, their specifications are also different in a good way. Successor always seems more powerful than predecessor thanks to boasting the latest features and technologies of their time. To get a clear view, let’s have a look at the following spec table:

No doubt HTC 10 is the best so far with 4GB RAM, Snapdragon 820 chip, world-class camera, Hi-Res audio tech, and 2K screen. It seems like most of the strongest specifications you can wish for a smartphone today are included in the 10. Hopefully, with this model, HTC can earn more success in 2016.

HTC One M7 vs M8 vs M9 vs HTC 10: Prices and availability

Along with the development in hardware, prices of those products also increased, which is reasonable and easy to understand, rite?! Specifically, HTC One M7 price is about $305; HTC One M8 price is $530; HTC One M9 price is $550; and HTC 10 price is $769 for the 32GB version and $799 for the 64GB ver. Now, it’s your turn to tell us your feelings and thinking on these guys.

Finally, one of the most anticipated flagship this year – HTC 10 – has been out and brought us many interesting things. Here is everything you need to know about this flagship…

Powerful HTC 10 has been introduced! Design and specs are clear!

HTC design comes with a front glass panel, an all-metal body, two antenna lines on the back, and a chamfered rear frame. Besides, we still see the familiar signature Boomsound speakers, but they are not stereo ones anymore. One more important point is that there is a physical home button right below the display, equipped with a fingerprint sensor underneath which only takes 0.2 second to unlock the handset.

Spec-wise, HTC 10 attracts people with its 5.2-inch Quad HD Super LCD 5 scree, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 processor, 4 GB of RAM paired with 32/64 GB of internal storage (expandable up to 2 TB). In addition to HTC 10 specs, there are HTC Sense 8 UI based on Android 6.0 Marshmallow OS, a decent 3,000 mAh battery supporting fast charging tech (~50% of cell after 30 minutes charging), a USB Type-C port, and dual non-stereo BoomSound speakers with Dolby Audio tech on board to help run the whole machine.

As for photography, you can use either its 5 MP front shooter with ultra-wide lens, OIS plus f/1.8 or 12 MP UltraPixel 2 rear camera with f/1.8, OIS, laser autofocus, capability of recording 4K videos, Pro camera mode, plus hyperlapse to take pictures. We bet you will get fantastic shots!

HTC 10 price and availability

The device has been said to cost $699 at HTC 10 launch and be available in Gray and Silver first on Verizon, Sprint, and T-Mobile. On the other hand, an unlocked variant of the 10 with Glacier Silver and Carbon Gray can be grabbed from HTC offical website. Pre-orders started on April 12 and shipments will be conducted in early May.

HTC 10 launch is coming closer. As a result, more information about this flagship smartphone has also been revealed. Today, we can see the its leaked design and…

Key HTC 10 specs got revealed: Camera, display and battery

Not long ago, HTC posted a picture on their Twitter, showing nothing much but aiming at HTC 10 camera. They hinted that its front and rear snappers are gonna be the something special, unique and powerful. At the moment, many people believe the company will use some kind of technology like what Samsung used for their Galaxy S7 duo’s shooter. Therefore, the 10’s 12MP UltraPixel cam can produce gorgeous pictures for you.

Besides, lately, the reliable leakster @evleaks has also mentioned some HTC 10 specs. Specifically, its display will be a Super LCD 5 one and battery will be capable of 3,000mAh. As for the cell, it is definitely better than the 2,840mAh batt of its predecessor HTC One M9, but very similar to many other flagships nowadays. Though, the screen is different. It’s pretty interesting to hear that the HTC 10 will use such a tech.

Good thing is that “Super LCD produces less glare and makes the user feel “closer” to the display itself. Super LCD’s benefits also include lower power consumption and improved outdoor visibility.” Cool, rite?! Apart from the batt and screen, other features have not been unveiled yet. However, we still hope to see an SD 820 chipset, 4GB RAM, 32GB ROM, and a USB Type-C port get on board.

HTC 10 price and availability

According to the latest news, the firm will hold an event on April 12, 2016. It is very likely that HTC 10 launch will happen there as well. In terms of price, we guess it can cost around $700. Anyway, we’d better wait a bit more for the manufacturer’s official announcement in the next days.

In 2016, besides the flagship HTC 10, we also expect more interesting smartphones from HTC, perhaps including the following HTC Nexus. Check out what information related to this handset we’ve got so far!

HTC Nexus will come with 3D Touch tech, BoomSound and…

Last year, LG and Huawei were responsible for producing Google Nexus smartphones and in fact, they were not very successful as we expected. However, it does not stop us from anticipating a new Nexus model this year. According to some recent sources, it will be made by HTC, and we guess the company will feel stressed a bit when designing as well as building the machine’s hardware in order to make it stand out. Maybe a metallic, minimalistic, premium design like the one we’re looking at is already perfect. Do you agree?

Spec-wise, although no words have been made for HTC Nexus 2016 specs yet, it is said that there can be 3D Touch technology, BoomSound speakers, and virtual reality feature on board to bring users great experience in hearing and seeing. Besides, specifications such as 4GB RAM, 2K display, 4,000mAh battery, Android 6.0.2 Marshmallow OS, and a 20MP rear/8MP front camera combo should also be included in the device.

While HTC is still very busy with their upcoming flagship HTC 10, this piece of news has come and attracted consumers on general and those who love Nexus or HTC in particular. It seems like 2016 can be a good year for the firm since at the moment, we are paying attention to the HTC 10 and after that we will be looking forward to the HTC Nexus.

HTC Nexus Price and availability

HTC 10 launch is going to happen in April, so of course the maker has to focus on it first. As a result, if the HTC Nexus turns out to be true, it can be announced in the Q3 of 2016 and available for sale some weeks later. As for HTC Nexus price, it is predicted to cost around $400, yet do you think that’s a reasonable number? Share with us your opinions!

HTC One M10 XL would be the best partner to launch together with the flagship HTC One M10. Check out how it looks now!

HTC One M10 XL: 4GB RAM, 5.7-inch 2K display and…

It seems like the flagship smartphone HTC One M10 will come in the next months and many people hope that it will also come with a wonderful variant. This can make them a powerful couple to beat other strong duos on the market now. So, recently, we have been able to spotted a potential partner of the HTC One M10. It is called HTC One M10 XL. Some pictures of the phone as well some information related to its hardware have also been shown. It is a beast, indeed.

HTC One M10 XL is designed by a well-known designer Hasan Kaymak. Looking at the pics, the handset looks still pretty similar to most HTC products, but a bit more interesting with slim bezels and a place to store a stylus, which reminds us of Samsung Galaxy Note 5. We guess this can be considered as a Note version of HTC One M10, and the screen is likely to measure 5.7 inches with Quad HD resolution.

Other HTC One M10 XL specs will probably contain a Snapdragon 820 processor, 4GB of RAM, 64GB of ROM (expandable up to 200GB), Android 6.0 Marshmallow, and a huge 4,000mAh battery. As for the camera, the rear can be capable of 21 megapixels and the front-facing one can be 8 megapixels for selfies. A perfect combo for those who love taking photos, right?!

HTC One M10 XL price and availability

Thanks to Hasan Kaymak, we have a gorgeous HTC One M10 XL model and it will be the best if the device is able to be released with the HTC One M10. In case of coming to life, HTC One M10 XL price can range from $500 to $600. Then, what do you think? Is it a reasonable cost for a phablet like that? Share with us your opinions!

HTC just launched the One A9 last month, and received mixed feed backs about whether HTC or Apple copied the design from the other. Less than a month later, rumors are already leaking about the next HTC One-branded smartphone, with a model number of E56, allegedly named HTC One X9.

HTC One X9 – Price and specs

The HTC One X9, from what we know, will be targeted in the higher-end category. Some sources even suggest the HTC One X9 price could be around $470 (an equivalent to PHP 22,200). Now let’s read on to see what HTC offer this time to worth the price tag.

Planned to release in 2016, The HTC One X9 makes sure to equip some of the most promising features of the year. In terms of HTC One X9 specs, we will see either a premium Helio X20 or a powerful Snapdragon 820 chip set on board. We don’t know about the One X9 screen size yet (But hopefully between the most popular 5.0 and 5.5 inch), but it will be a QHD display that many users love thanks to the high quality of images.

In terms of storage, the HTC One X9 will sport 4GB RAM and 64/128GB internal memory. Also, as a way to provide more options, the handset may come with another 3GB RAM/ 32GB ROM variant to have a better price. Although we are very likely to have 6GB RAM smartphones by 2016, 4GB is strong and smooth enough for most users. Also there is a 3,500 mAH battery to run the whole handset.

HTC One X9: promising rival to Sony Xperia Z5 and Samsung Galaxy S7

Last but not least is a feature that has become more and more important when it comes to choosing a smartphone. Yes, it is the cameras! The HTC One X9 camera is said to have 23MP resolution on the back and 4MP on the front. For now, Sony Xperia Z5 camera is being the best in the whole smartphone market with 23MP and 0.03s autofocus. Let see if in 2016, HTC One X9 camera can beat the current King or not. Because it will need to compete with the rising Galaxy S7 camera by Samsung.

HTC One X9: a beast for 2016?

Please keep in mind that HTC has yet to confirmed any of the leaks above. But based on what we know so far, do you think the HTC One X9 has what it takes to be a strong competitor for high-end smartphone market in 2016?

Nowadays, smart phone screens are getting bigger and bigger. There are 5’’, then 5.5’’ and even 6’’ smart phones, such as the Nexus 6 by Google and Motorola or Huawei (2015). Though to some people bigger means better viewing experience, a smaller screen size is also an advantage. For example, for those who would want to put their phone in a pocket, a compact phone is better. This applies especially to those who only need basic use of a smart phone, and does not care about many things else.
