What do you want to see in the HTC 10?

[Phil Nickinson]

Now that it's officially coming, we're officially asking. Whatcha wanna see?

Let us know here. We'll make ya famous. Maybe.

A good camera. HTC already proved they've got the post-processing down in the A9. If they're using the 6P's sensor, as rumored, with OIS and an f/1.7 lens, that could really be something special.

Good use of hardware with good on-board memory. Keep hearing 4 GB. As long at HTC doesn't play the games Sammy does that should be a check box in the right area.

A GOOD battery size that allows me to use all the goodies daily without having to charge twice a day. Battery longevity. MY DNA allowed me to use all for about six months then started to peter out a bit and I had to scale back what I use my phone for. I like how S7e did it. Pack a whopper in there.

Security updates. Make sure the ecosystem supports system updates regardless of carrier.

No wasted space. I look at my DNA and has clean use of space (no blank useless space). I guess people call it the black bar but if you look at renders; it still seems to be there.

Good cell radio reception and speaker phone.

I think this needs to have a good camera, at least one that is very competitive with other flagships. It definitely needs to have good battery life. Reception quality should be very good also. Other than that I just want an OS that is nice and smooth and gets frequent updates. I have a galaxy s6 edge and the reception has been sketchy at times and the OS lags a lot. Even after doing a hard reset recently it still lags and now randomly shuts down once or twice a day for no reason. So assuming the reception is stellar it's: good battery, good camera, smooth OS. When I say good I mean very competitive with current flagships like the S7 and G5....it doesn't have to beat those other phones....just needs to be right there in the same league.

What I want is for HTC to hire people to test out the phone before they try and sell it to me. Im just saying...

I seem to be one of the few people actually satisfied with the M9. I'm told that's because I never owned an M7 or M8, but I think the only thing that could keep me from getting the 10 is a camera that is not on the level of the other flagships.

Caveat: I got the A9 unlocked new for $250. I love this phone. The only things I would add are bigger battery, the 6p camera sensor with ois, and boom sound. Sounds like that's exactly what HTC is giving us. Still, may not give up the A9. Did I mention I love this phone?

THey used to have a program that supported that...not sure how active it is anymore.

They need a top of the line camera and software that works out of the box. No updates to fix the camera after launch. Big battery and must last through the day. Personally I'm hoping they keep the IR blaster so I can turn my TV and receiver on/off. Don't bloat with pre-loaded apps and keep Sense lean!

It has to have a better camera.

 

[SactoKingsFan]

HTC 10 needs a much improved camera with OIS. I'd also like to see 5.5+" screen, fingerprint sensor on side or back, on screen buttons, all day battery life and a notification slider similar to OnePlus 2.

HTC Preview had put out a public call for sign ups and did a Reddit AMA last fall.

I am on it. However my information has only allowed me to participate in notification exercises. I guess.

Well, with 20000+ registered, only a small fraction are going to be testing something at any given point.

Oh, totally understand.

A decent camera, good audio.

Everyone saying the phone needs a huge battery don't have an M8. Don't know what phone you guys are using. The M9 was a few steps behind the M8. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. 98% of phone users aren't power users. If you need a huge battery, get a Note.

Nothing wrong with expecting all day battery life from a flagship.

I agree. THere will be fun toys that I will want active. When my DNA came out...battery life was fine for about six months and then it slowly degraded. I want a phone I can use the whole kit and kaboodle for 1.5 yearsish before having to scale the phone back.

 

[elshagon]

The M8 has ALL DAY battery life and it was a flagship. A huge battery doesn't always equate to the best battery life. If the phone isn't optimized properly, the software sucks, and you don't know how to adjust the settings on your phone it won't last all day long. Those are a few things that will impact the battery. You want 3 day battery life, get a battery pack or a Note.

The battery sizes now are perfect. We have quick charge to rapidly charge a phone. A bigger battery means the phone will take longer to fully charge. Nobody wants to wait two hours to fully charge a phone on quick charge. That is what happens when you make the battery bigger.

I have the M8. I don't get all day battery life.

I second this..the IR blaster is a serious underrated function. The only thing I would add is lag....I remember the one thing that put the HTC M8 above the LG G3 was that the G3 apparently suffered from occasional lagging and glitching...this is what I love about sense and how wonderfully optimised it is...it is buttery smooth os and they need to maintain the same level of quality with regard to that so that it doesn't lag in any way...also as an audiophile I loved the quality of sound through the stereo speakers and headphones. Samsung and LG have caught up in this area so they are going to have to deliver world class audio to regain the lead from Sammy and LG.
