HTC 10 Owners: First Impressions, Initial Reviews Thread

[richard dillon1]

This is my m10 and it came with pink tint last week.

That's really awesome if the tint has gone away. Would you mind snapping some on like a desk from eye level like I did with my S7 and from the sides? I'm really curious to see if the brightness and pink tint went away from those angles too because that would eliminate one of the complaints I had against that display.

I'm wondering now if some models use different panels from different manufacturers or something because the picture in the first post of this thread that's pretty much a head-on shot definitely has a pinkish tint to it you can really see in the Google bar...

Do you happen to have any yellow tint at the bottom of the screen? I do and I'm gonna return my unit and decide on ordering again or getting the S7 Edge

Why no "clock" option with daydream?

Anyone noticed facebook messenger is now a system app

I had all my 3rd party apps disabled and after the update they were gone. I do see a com.facebook.system listed with system apps. It's stuff like this that may make my HTC 10 short lived when the next Nexus comes out.

EDIT: I disabled the facebook.system.com and it disappeared from the app list so that's what happened to my other 3rd-party apps. LOL That's not standard... Suppose someone wanted to re-enable an app?

My understanding is that there is two displays shipping with the HTC 10... A Sharp one and another from Tianma which supposedly has the issue. You can find out what display you have with DevCheck --> https://forums.androidcentral.com/e...apps/details?id=flar2.devcheck&token=1WA7C_-1

Lived with the 10 for a week and decided to return it and go back to my V10 for now. For a day or 2 I thought I'd be keeping the 10 but ultimately, I prefer phablet sized phones.

Pros:
1. Build, excellent in hand feel albeit a bit slippery
2. Battery: easily made it thru a day
3. Speed: it flies
4. Headphone sound: lived up to the hype but not appreciably better than the V10, just louder.
5. Fingerprint sensor: fast and reliable.

Cons:
1. Camera app slow to launch, slow to capture
2. Speakers: overrated IMO, step down from M7, M8, barely better than the V10
3. Ergonomics: HORRIBLE as always from HTC. Headphone jack on the top? Impossible to unlock the phone while removing from my pocket. Double tap to wake works 50% at best. Lack of a 2nd display or active notifications is LAME in mid 2016. One color status light...seriously HTC?
4. Display: DIM DIM DIM, no matter what settings I tried it just isnt a vibrant bright display. ZERO wow factor.

All in all a very solid effort, just not worth $600.00 for me. If HTC came up with a plus version and switched to Super Amoled they might really have something.

Had this issue too. I wonder if it too fades with time.

I'm sorry I meant from the sides not from just the front.

How is the sound quality?

Thanks

I had this issue. You can reenable disabled system apps by choosing disabled apps in the manager and then selecting system apps. Thats how i turned off touchpal on the Verizon version.

I've had the HTC 10 for about 5 days now. Upgraded from the M8.
I love the M8 and I like the 10 a lot more so far. I think the physical design is beautiful, excellently crafted. Operating system and everything internal works great. I get good battery life.
Nuff said, just a solid phone. Glad I chose it over the S7.

Hey - about the "DU Charging" and Blue screen - I didn't see anyone respond to this:

That is caused from ES FILE EXPLORER
Some new update gave us that "feature"

I finally have ditched that app - been putting up with its "analyzing storage" after installing apps and such, but this charging thing was the last straw!

Huh? I don't have an issue disabling apps but how to re-enable them because they disappear from the app list in settings when you disable them. The filter options don't seem to work at all after the system update (unlocked version).

Re: S7 Edge to HTC 10 - First Impressions are mixed.

Consider me underwhelmed after 22 hours. Screen is OK but has zero wow factor and forget about using sunglasses when outdoors. Funny, the roles used to be reversed and HTC was much better in sunlight than Sammy. Amazing what a couple cycles will do.

Speaker quality is less than impressive. It's good but not great. Headphone quality is indeed excellent, but other than being louder, I cant say it's better than my V10.

The bottom line is I'm used to phablet size phones and in the end this isn't the phone's fault.

I have not yet had a chance to play with the HTC 10 as of yet, but between the S7E and the G5, the G5 seems to have a much louder speaker than the S7E.

One of the big selling points for me on the HTC 10 is the speaker...even without front facing speakers, I held high expectations for it to be one of the phones with the best speakers available. For me to hear that you you feel the speakers "are not that great" is a real bummer for me. I feel as though going with the HTC 10 over the S7E, im giving up a better camera, screen size (personal pref), & screen quality for what i thought, would be a better speaker.

Guess I should wait on using this upgrade for the Note 6, but I dunno if i can hold off that long since the wifes s6 has a cracked screen

I really wanted to keep the 10, but it's nowhere close to my s7 edge.

I hope it works out for you. For me the 10 is much better for me then my s7 edge was. I did love the s7"edge but the 10 wins for me.

I would advise everyone to go to a store and hold the s7 edge along with the HTC 10. Turn to the camera app and you will see the s7 edge produces a not true to life color. However, the HTC 10 does. The colors the s7 produces is not the same as what you are seeing with your eyes. HTC 10 has the best camera.

 

[xchr1583x]

In general yea, that's true. The Samsung phones really process their images; and if you're not paying attention you would at first thing that yes they look better.

So I guess depends what you want your images for. If only for social media, etc...where you're going to filter anyways than S7/S7E might be a better camera but others including HTC 10 do produce more realistic colors.

Said literally no one ever.

I went to our carrier yesterday and I pulled up the camera. The wooden floor was a certain color, when I looked at the HTC camera the color stayed the same. However, Samsung shift the color drastically, for what reason, I don't know why.
