Re: We've got the HTC 10 — and we're answering your questions right here!
How is battery life? HTC are quoted as saying 2 days with the obvious "Your mileage may vary". What are you seeing in real world use?
Have you been able to compare the screen to the SGS7e in terms of brightness and visibility in bright sunlight?
GS7 wins in sunlight, mainly because of the overdrive mode that kicks in when it's really bright. That said, HTC's screen is perfectly fine.
Have you used it with adoptable storage at all? When recording 1080p or 4K video onto a microSD card, has there been any noticeable lag?
How's the speaker performance been in everyday situations? (listening to music around the house)
Haven't seen any lag so far. And I'm not using adoptable storage.
Speaker's been good. We talk a bit about that on the podcast, but basically there's more potential for distortion based on the way you're holding it, because you have different frequencies blasting out in different directions now.
Sorry, just thought of another question...
In Themes, is it possible to "darken" Sense, particularly the Settings area, with a black or dark gray material theme versus the typical white we're seeing in all the hands-on videos? Samsung allows this with their version; wondering if HTC has the ability too?
Nothing like that preloaded, but no reason why you couldn't find a darker theme in HTC Themes.
Verge review is out (surprisingly early) and they said camera app is very slow to launch. Is it really slow to capture a pic and is very noticeable? For eg comparing with 6P and S7, S7 is super fast to capture a pic but 6P is slow in my opinion. How does it compare in terms of taking a quick picture?
Thanks
An update went out to US devices yesterday to make the camera launch faster. The Euro device I'm using already had that update, and it's pretty quick (comfortably under 1 second.) Faster than the 6P for sure. Probably a bit slower than Samsung.
