    HTC struggling to sell 1 million HTC 10 units this year?

    I paid a visit and played with the HTC 10 on display twice, about 15 minutes each time. Returned mine after 10 days, just didn't seem like a huge upgrade from the s6.

    Should I buy htc 10 or else samsung galaxy s7?

    Yeah I'd be interested in seeing the results. I know the S6 is 16mp and both the 10 and the S7 are 12mp. The extra pixels and extra sharpening from the S6 looked sharper to me. The few times the 10 beat the S6 was in low light, (less noise, better WB and color) but that's when it was most...

    Should I buy htc 10 or else samsung galaxy s7?

    HTC10- solid build quality, better battery life, better audio, and the haptic feedback and UI just feels better to me. Unless your priority is the camera, the HTC10 was a hair slower than my S6 to open and focus- and the S6 missed focus a lot less. S6 was sharper 90% of the time Whatever...

    HTC 10 VS. Samsung S6 - both in hand - AMA

    A few more thoughts: Looks like the cameras take different approaches for low light shots: https://photos.google.com/share/AF1QipO2tjoHzg9Rfvt-1d_dH4d2Jn9Vd4NF4sNuVqa4VCi2CKVVdMrhJttiVXs50lHIFQ?key=WWJtaFg2OGEzTU41X3IxWFNXQ2RjS3JKNDNBbUtn S6 pulls out more information from the shadows but ends...

    HTC 10 VS. Samsung S6 - both in hand - AMA

    Pretty close to my ears in volume. Quality might be a toss-up or dependant on usage. Just laying on a desk, they're equal for me, but neither is as good as the old M7. I only use the speakers for games, so the HTC is better for me since I'm less likely to cover the speaker with an accidental...

    HTC 10 VS. Samsung S6 - both in hand - AMA

    So far after an hour or so: Build quality goes to HTC for density, though the S6 has a nice, light (but slippery) feel to it. HTC wins in looks department for me. I've always hated that bluish face on the Samsung and the cheap plastic chrome speaker grille. Screen- I think I prefer the...

    "I've ordered my HTC 10!" (Order & Shipping Discussion)

    Credit card companies love to flag Digital River transactions, so keep an eye out for that. HTC randomly canceled my second attempt at ordering so keep an eye out for that too.

    "I've ordered my HTC 10!" (Order & Shipping Discussion)

    baahahaha after preordering on April 29th, having 2 orders canceled and sending off a few bitchy emails and giving up on getting the phone they are finally shipping the original pre-order on June 01. Oh HTC.

    "I've ordered my HTC 10!" (Order & Shipping Discussion)

    Did you have to call the sales department? I shot a pair of emails off to HTC support and their reply was to call 888-216-4736 but I'm lazy and buying a phone shouldn't be this hard.

    "I've ordered my HTC 10!" (Order & Shipping Discussion)

    My pre-order from 4/29 was declined. When I reordered on 5/16 it went thru and was canceled by HTC on 5/17. I was told to reorder. Promo code HTC1011 is dead for me as of 5/19. I emailed orderconfirmation@digitalriver.com and asked them to honor the pre-order price from when I originally...

    "I've ordered my HTC 10!" (Order & Shipping Discussion)

    I pre-ordered mine on 4/29 and it still showed as "Boxed Shipment" as of 5/16. Apparently the credit card did not go through (Capital One automatic protection kicked in and blocked the $600 charge since I normally don't use that card for anything over $100). 35 minutes on the phone with HTC to...
