Here are some comments from the CNET review. All seem to indicate exactly what I said would happen when CNET reviewed the HTC 10.

-CNET bias again. *I usually rely on user reviews in Amazon and GSMArena. *And of course, going to physical stores and handling the demo unit. *However, I do agree that HTC cameras generally sucks.
-I will agree with most of the other comments that this is a very biased review.*
The discrepancy in battery life is disconcerting considering the 10 and S7 have identical capacities. Have you considered comparing thermal throttling and performance?*
Other sites have tested this and found that Samsung typically has aggressive throttling on it's phones, which gives the benefit of increased runtime but at some cost to responsiveness and sustained performance.*
It would be great to see this tested, as I currently own a Note 4 and am considering a different brand for my next device. I don't really like TouchWiz and how inefficient it is, so if the HTC has better responsiveness I may consider it.
-I don't trust a word that is coming out of this lady's mouth. I'll wait for MKBHD's review to come out on YouTube before I make any assumptions.
-I have being reading this site for a long time and I never felt the urge to post a comment until now, this is one of the most unprofessional and biased reviews I have ever read in my life, Cnet if you want to keep your dignity pull this review and have somebody do a professional one or I will not be able to take your site *seriously anymore.*
-This critic, "journalist" should be ashamed of her not so hidden agenda. A disgrace as others have pointed out.
-I can't comment on the phone because I haven't had time with it but this review reads like an assassination attempt at HTC. It was bullyish, prideful and has an overall refusal to praise the phone in any way without a caveat following it that immediately downplays their accomplishments. Taking brand and phone aside, this review carries an agenda that reveals the obvious bias the reviewer has. I am not interested in the reason why the author brazenly jabs at this phone but it's clear that from the beginning, the author wanted this phone to fail. This review has a bias that no decent journalist can deny.
-Even the Apple fanboy Engadget talks about how good HTC 10 is. This, CNET's review, is not a review. It is basically a character assassination. It's not just biased, but its really badly written. Something you don't expect from a seemingly professional website like CNET.
The failure of this review, however, echoes through most of articles on HTC phones on this website. Often features HTC has are either downplayed or outright ignored. An earlier version of this article even had the audacity to call it just an other flagship Android phone. What the hell do you expect it to be? A car?*
HTC phones have been one of the most innovative phones out there. They think outside the box. UltraPixel technology, front facing speaker, wide angle front camera with the same focus technology of the one in the back, etc. Not innovation, but the metal build, giving the phone an actual premium feel and look should be a major deal when you pay a similar amount for any flagship one of any brand.*
Is it surprising that there is a hidden line at the top saying "HTC 10 brings the noise, but it's not a Galaxy killer"? I could only read it accidentally when I double clicked and all the texts were*highlighted*making it visible over a white plane. This kinda show who paid for this review... I will no longer trust any review from CNET.
