1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:06,440
for me like probably many of you HTC

2
00:00:03,800 --> 00:00:11,920
made my first Android phone I mean check this out this is me with the 1 M7 so

3
00:00:09,040 --> 00:00:18,039
shiny and exciting and then I like probably many of you was disappointed by

4
00:00:14,599 --> 00:00:19,240
HTC by their complacency their pricing

5
00:00:18,039 --> 00:00:24,480
their customer service their build quality basically insert reason not to

6
00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:27,480
care anymore here the 1 M9 era marked a particularly rough patch in the

7
00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:34,280
Taiwanese company's history with investors valuing it at less than the

8
00:00:30,519 --> 00:00:36,879
cash it had in the bank I mean what I

9
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:42,600
mean what but more recently there's been good news too the HTC VI is the VR

10
00:00:40,399 --> 00:00:49,120
headset to get if that tall guy I hang around with is to be believed he's not

11
00:00:44,879 --> 00:00:52,960
dying but HTC's Core Business is mobile

12
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:54,960
phones and that thing is not a phone so

13
00:00:52,960 --> 00:01:01,920
are they ready to give up and just make computer peripherals from now on

14
00:00:57,239 --> 00:01:01,920
apparently not meet the HT

15
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:19,600
C10 to celebrate the launch of their Nitro plus radon rx480 Sapphire is

16
00:01:16,759 --> 00:01:22,479
giving some of them away learn more and enter the giveaway at the link in the

17
00:01:21,439 --> 00:01:27,200
video description the 10 like every other

18
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:32,920
Flagship smartphone right now packs a Snapdragon 820 CPU paired with an adreno

19
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:35,200
53 GPU so performance should be pretty

20
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:39,640
much right in there with everyone else assuming that the overheating issues

21
00:01:37,119 --> 00:01:44,799
that the 1m9 demonstrated in our water cooled phones video haven't made a

22
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:50,040
reappearance and it looks like we're in okay shape here the iPhone 6s is the

23
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:55,880
golden standard and doesn't throttle in my geek bch repeatedly test at all but I

24
00:01:53,240 --> 00:02:00,280
consider anything around a 10 to 15% reduction in performance during

25
00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:03,360
continuous heavy use to be very good the

26
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:05,960
10 Falls well short of that Mark a

27
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:09,959
surprise given its ample thickness but it isn't something that I noticed day

28
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:15,480
today and at least it doesn't cut in half like its predecessor also packed

29
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:22,200
into the 10's aluminum frame is 4 gigs of lpddr4 RAM 32 or in some regions

30
00:02:19,319 --> 00:02:26,560
apparently 64 gigs of storage and a non- removable 3,000 mAh battery that saw me

31
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:30,560
through every day during my time with the device features that have become

32
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:35,040
shockingly standard fair in recent times I mean

33
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:40,640
it's not a knock against the 10 it's a good thing it just doesn't help it stand

34
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:42,800
apart let's get then to what does the

35
00:02:40,640 --> 00:02:49,760
screen is a subtly curved Corning Gorilla Glass topped 5.2 in super LCD 5

36
00:02:46,159 --> 00:02:52,599
affair with a pixel count of 2560 x440

37
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:56,959
making it a solid choice for use in a VR viewer like Google cardboard if you're

38
00:02:54,840 --> 00:03:00,920
into that sort of thing nothing about its viewing angles

39
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:06,239
antireflectivity colors popped out and in fact while I didn't notice this in

40
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:11,799
daily use next to the Galaxy S7 and the iPhone 6s it's display has a noticeable

41
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:17,319
pink cast something that neither switching from Vivid to srgb color mode

42
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:22,440
nor adjusting color temperature helped with so okay then that was a lie the

43
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:26,640
screen wasn't a differentiating point below the screen is a capactive home

44
00:03:24,319 --> 00:03:31,120
button with a quick and accurate integrated fingerprint sensor flanked by

45
00:03:28,599 --> 00:03:37,439
two Hardware capacitive buttons for last application and back that I wish could

46
00:03:34,799 --> 00:03:41,439
be swapped like on the OnePlus 3 but that I otherwise can't complain about

47
00:03:39,439 --> 00:03:46,480
the chin bar size on the 10 was actually just perfect for me to type totally

48
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:51,439
naturally above the screen is an optically stabilized 5 megapixel selfie

49
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:55,640
camera that does a little more noise reduction postprocessing than I would

50
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:59,319
personally like but otherwise generated very good results Apple really has some

51
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:06,040
catching up to do with their next generation selfie Cam and then finally

52
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:09,920
an exceptional feature gone is boom

53
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:12,319
sound dual front-facing speakers but

54
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:17,880
here is actually a replacement that I can't believe no one else thought of the

55
00:04:15,519 --> 00:04:23,199
earpiece speaker doubles as a loudspeaker that combined with the

56
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:27,120
surprisingly directional bottom firing speaker that handles more of the mid and

57
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:32,240
low frequencies delivers an exceptionally balanced listening

58
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:34,479
experience ice work HTC also on the

59
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:42,600
bottom of the 10 is some dents from me dropping it oops the main microphone and

60
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:44,120
a USB 3.1 gen 1 type-c shaped Port more

61
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:49,479
on that in a moment but this is another pretty sweet feature with the fast file

62
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:55,880
transfer feature enabled I was able to saturate the 100 and 150 megabyte right

63
00:04:53,680 --> 00:05:00,560
and read speeds respectively of the internal storage moving videos to and

64
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:06,360
from a computer this is great for offloading photos and videos or loading

65
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:08,360
media onto your device before a trip

66
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:13,039
unfortunately it doesn't seem like you can set it to work this way by default

67
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:19,680
for reasons that are Beyond me but that I think may have to do with the USB

68
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:21,800
type-c shaped Port not having been

69
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:29,720
implemented in accordance with the USB type-c standard qualcom Quick Charge 3.0

70
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:33,280
variable voltage fast charging prevents

71
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:36,240
QC 3.0 Chargers from operating at the

72
00:05:33,280 --> 00:05:43,919
same time that data transfer is taking place which makes oneplus's Dash charge

73
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:45,880
a 4 amp 5vt fast charging method look

74
00:05:43,919 --> 00:05:52,280
good for reasons that go beyond keeping the phone cooler during charging h on

75
00:05:50,319 --> 00:05:56,880
the left of the device is a Micro SD slot for expandable storage awesome and

76
00:05:54,600 --> 00:06:01,759
on the right is the SIM tray the volume rocker and a lock button that thanks to

77
00:05:59,919 --> 00:06:07,000
the textured top is easy to differentiate both in pocket and without

78
00:06:05,039 --> 00:06:10,759
the headphone jack is on top in the middle and if it sounds ridiculous the

79
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:14,280
first time you plug it in you're like what is all this bass in my music turn

80
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:18,199
off the Dolby enhancement in the settings menu you're welcome and then at

81
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:24,160
the rear is a noise cancelling microphone dual tone flash laser

82
00:06:20,840 --> 00:06:27,199
autofocus and 12 megapix rear camera

83
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:29,840
whose lower megapixel count hurts under

84
00:06:27,199 --> 00:06:34,800
ideal well-lit conditions but who conservative d noising postprocessing

85
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:39,639
Optical image stabilization and larger light scooping pixels deliver some of

86
00:06:36,639 --> 00:06:41,680
the best low light performance I've seen

87
00:06:39,639 --> 00:06:46,800
these images were taken under identical lighting conditions with the S7 the 6s

88
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:52,000
and the 10 check out how well you can read that text with the 10 and I'd say

89
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:57,720
for the most part camera control is a really strong point too autofocus is

90
00:06:54,960 --> 00:07:03,360
laser Qui all the usual shooting modes like 4K video Raw Stills or slow-mo are

91
00:07:01,199 --> 00:07:08,280
there plus it's got this neat hyperlapse mode that folks are going to have a lot

92
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:10,560
of fun with and the pro sliders all show

93
00:07:08,280 --> 00:07:15,280
up on screen at the same time making it really fast to adjust when manually

94
00:07:13,319 --> 00:07:19,919
shooting I just wish it was a little faster to open personally I mean the app

95
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:25,400
itself launches as quickly as anyone else but HTC's implementation of gesture

96
00:07:22,639 --> 00:07:29,240
control isn't the best I've seen the two swipes down to open the camera is a

97
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:34,759
little flaky and only works when the screen scen is off and this is a

98
00:07:31,599 --> 00:07:36,759
criticism of everyone not just HTC but

99
00:07:34,759 --> 00:07:42,840
why can't I reconfigure whichever gestures I want to do whatever stuff I

100
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:44,800
want anyway I still like the scent skin

101
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:50,800
including blink feed and it's pretty close to stock Android now so at this

102
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:53,280
point all that's left is for me to drop

103
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:58,159
the phone and deliver my conclusion it feels like every other reviewer in the

104
00:07:55,240 --> 00:08:02,639
world is declaring it to be a hit a clinic on how to make a smartphone or

105
00:08:00,479 --> 00:08:08,039
some other variation of the second coming but I didn't come twice or even

106
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:14,800
once for that matter though it should be noted that that is not because the HTC1

107
00:08:11,159 --> 00:08:18,199
is a bad phone it actually remarkably

108
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:20,759
doesn't seem to do anything wrong it's

109
00:08:18,199 --> 00:08:25,479
just because it also doesn't push the Innovation envelope in any way that's

110
00:08:22,919 --> 00:08:29,960
meaningful to me personally the better speaker experience is going to win over

111
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:33,760
some buyers for sure but I'm more partial to the

112
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:37,320
waterproofness of the S7 and the pressure sensitive screen and lightning

113
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:41,680
fast performance including Wave 2 AC Wireless I wish everyone else would

114
00:08:38,519 --> 00:08:43,839
Implement that of the iPhone 6s maybe

115
00:08:41,680 --> 00:08:49,800
the problem though is that phones are just kind of mature now the last

116
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:55,200
remaining huge gap in smartphone functionality that Apple enjoyed the

117
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:59,240
camera has mostly been closed by the Koreans the Chinese and now the

118
00:08:57,120 --> 00:09:07,040
Taiwanese to the point where I feel like a phone isn't so much stand out good as

119
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:09,760
stand out bad with anything else being

120
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:15,399
good but maybe that in itself is a good thing maybe the fact that a solid phone

121
00:09:13,279 --> 00:09:20,399
that performs well and feels good in the hand in spite of its thicker design

122
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:26,120
doesn't excite me anymore is just good for buyers because that's what the HTC1

123
00:09:22,959 --> 00:09:28,120
is I personally still prefer the S7 but

124
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:31,320
you might not and it's good to have choice

125
00:09:29,959 --> 00:09:37,040
and you know what other choice is good for consumers the choice of where to put

126
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:40,680
your dbrand skin do you want to put it on a laptop do you want to put it on a

127
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:44,800
phone do you want to put it on a game console or a game controller well that's

128
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:48,560
up to you and you've got more choices too if you head over to dbrand.com we've

129
00:09:46,839 --> 00:09:54,560
got that Linked In the video description you can use their fantastic configurator

130
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:57,320
to configure your device whether it's uh

131
00:09:54,560 --> 00:10:01,200
the you know touchpad of a laptop versus the bottom or the top of it or whether

132
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:05,519
it's the back of a phone versus the sides of a phone you can configure

133
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:10,399
pretty much any surface on the device with any color and any finish you want

134
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:15,920
and you can preview it in real time so you'll know before you get it that it's

135
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:17,800
going to a fit great on your device

136
00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:23,000
because all dbrand skins are Precision cut and B represent your personal style

137
00:10:20,839 --> 00:10:29,079
