3000 MaH battery? I'm going wait for good review.
With this price I can go buy Mate 9.
My list of missed opportunities on this device would start with the following:I'm not sure why everyone is already hating on it. It looks great to me, however, I'd probably wait to buy it until I see reviews and for the price to drop a bit.
My list of missed opportunities on this device would start with the following:
Ripped off Samsung general body design and it looks just as bad if not worse - when they already had one of the best looking designs
Ripped off LGs second screen
Front fingerprint scanner
3000 mAh battery in a huge phone
LCD screen instead of AMOLED
Quick Charge 3.0
Capacitive buttons
Small internal storage (64)
Micro SD card slot
Doesn't work on many networks, for the US market won't work for most consumers
Snapdragon 821 is fine, it's a good chip but it's also last year's chip.
They don't say if they support seamless updates - any phone that doesn't support it in 2017 = no buy because this will force it obsolete
I think that's a good start. What this device appears to be is a white flag from HTC saying that they have no idea what consumers want and so they will go straight into copying mode from devices that got positive feedback at the end of 2016. I have no interest in accepting HTCs surrender, let alone paying them for it, jumping on board and going down with the ship. They can sink by themselves or they can build a compelling device. This one just reeks of mediocrity and misguided confusion about what makes a 2017 device desirable.
Haha, well you definitely have your reasons! I understand and see your points - but I'll reserve final judgment until I can actually see and play with it. It sounds like a lot of your disdain for it just the mentality that you perceive HTC has. I don't see it that way. But that's what makes Android great - options!
Good point, and something that hadn't occurred to me. I doubt seamless updates would register with most consumers, but if they are supporting seamless updates, throwing a little consumer education into the marketing would be much more effective than all the cutesy "what it does for U" malarkey.They don't say if they support seamless updates - any phone that doesn't support it in 2017 = no buy because this will force it obsolete
I think I'm still stuck on how awesome HTC has been and being frustrated with their downward spiral. I'd love for them to just not release some of these devices, conserve their resources and focus on one or two really great phones per year.
