00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:06.440
for me like probably many of you HTC

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

00:00:09.040 --> 00:00:18.039
shiny and exciting and then I like probably many of you was disappointed by

00:00:14.599 --> 00:00:19.240
HTC by their complacency their pricing

00:00:18.039 --> 00:00:24.480
their customer service their build quality basically insert reason not to

00:00:21.600 --> 00:00:27.480
care anymore here the 1 M9 era marked a particularly rough patch in the

00:00:25.960 --> 00:00:34.280
Taiwanese company's history with investors valuing it at less than the

00:00:30.519 --> 00:00:36.879
cash it had in the bank I mean what I

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

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

00:00:44.879 --> 00:00:52.960
dying but HTC's Core Business is mobile

00:00:49.120 --> 00:00:54.960
phones and that thing is not a phone so

00:00:52.960 --> 00:01:01.920
are they ready to give up and just make computer peripherals from now on

00:00:57.239 --> 00:01:01.920
apparently not meet the HT

00:01:10.600 --> 00:01:19.600
C10 to celebrate the launch of their Nitro plus radon rx480 Sapphire is

00:01:16.759 --> 00:01:22.479
giving some of them away learn more and enter the giveaway at the link in the

00:01:21.439 --> 00:01:27.200
video description the 10 like every other

00:01:25.360 --> 00:01:32.920
Flagship smartphone right now packs a Snapdragon 820 CPU paired with an adreno

00:01:29.520 --> 00:01:35.200
53 GPU so performance should be pretty

00:01:32.920 --> 00:01:39.640
much right in there with everyone else assuming that the overheating issues

00:01:37.119 --> 00:01:44.799
that the 1m9 demonstrated in our water cooled phones video haven't made a

00:01:41.920 --> 00:01:50.040
reappearance and it looks like we're in okay shape here the iPhone 6s is the

00:01:47.840 --> 00:01:55.880
golden standard and doesn't throttle in my geek bch repeatedly test at all but I

00:01:53.240 --> 00:02:00.280
consider anything around a 10 to 15% reduction in performance during

00:01:57.280 --> 00:02:03.360
continuous heavy use to be very good the

00:02:00.280 --> 00:02:05.960
10 Falls well short of that Mark a

00:02:03.360 --> 00:02:09.959
surprise given its ample thickness but it isn't something that I noticed day

00:02:07.600 --> 00:02:15.480
today and at least it doesn't cut in half like its predecessor also packed

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

00:02:19.319 --> 00:02:26.560
apparently 64 gigs of storage and a non- removable 3,000 mAh battery that saw me

00:02:24.760 --> 00:02:30.560
through every day during my time with the device features that have become

00:02:29.160 --> 00:02:35.040
shockingly standard fair in recent times I mean

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

00:02:37.160 --> 00:02:42.800
apart let's get then to what does the

00:02:40.640 --> 00:02:49.760
screen is a subtly curved Corning Gorilla Glass topped 5.2 in super LCD 5

00:02:46.159 --> 00:02:52.599
affair with a pixel count of 2560 x440

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

00:02:54.840 --> 00:03:00.920
into that sort of thing nothing about its viewing angles

00:02:58.840 --> 00:03:06.239
antireflectivity colors popped out and in fact while I didn't notice this in

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

00:03:09.360 --> 00:03:17.319
pink cast something that neither switching from Vivid to srgb color mode

00:03:14.400 --> 00:03:22.440
nor adjusting color temperature helped with so okay then that was a lie the

00:03:20.000 --> 00:03:26.640
screen wasn't a differentiating point below the screen is a capactive home

00:03:24.319 --> 00:03:31.120
button with a quick and accurate integrated fingerprint sensor flanked by

00:03:28.599 --> 00:03:37.439
two Hardware capacitive buttons for last application and back that I wish could

00:03:34.799 --> 00:03:41.439
be swapped like on the OnePlus 3 but that I otherwise can't complain about

00:03:39.439 --> 00:03:46.480
the chin bar size on the 10 was actually just perfect for me to type totally

00:03:44.040 --> 00:03:51.439
naturally above the screen is an optically stabilized 5 megapixel selfie

00:03:48.840 --> 00:03:55.640
camera that does a little more noise reduction postprocessing than I would

00:03:53.560 --> 00:03:59.319
personally like but otherwise generated very good results Apple really has some

00:03:58.040 --> 00:04:06.040
catching up to do with their next generation selfie Cam and then finally

00:04:02.400 --> 00:04:09.920
an exceptional feature gone is boom

00:04:06.040 --> 00:04:12.319
sound dual front-facing speakers but

00:04:09.920 --> 00:04:17.880
here is actually a replacement that I can't believe no one else thought of the

00:04:15.519 --> 00:04:23.199
earpiece speaker doubles as a loudspeaker that combined with the

00:04:20.600 --> 00:04:27.120
surprisingly directional bottom firing speaker that handles more of the mid and

00:04:25.240 --> 00:04:32.240
low frequencies delivers an exceptionally balanced listening

00:04:28.720 --> 00:04:34.479
experience ice work HTC also on the

00:04:32.240 --> 00:04:42.600
bottom of the 10 is some dents from me dropping it oops the main microphone and

00:04:37.400 --> 00:04:44.120
a USB 3.1 gen 1 type-c shaped Port more

00:04:42.600 --> 00:04:49.479
on that in a moment but this is another pretty sweet feature with the fast file

00:04:46.720 --> 00:04:55.880
transfer feature enabled I was able to saturate the 100 and 150 megabyte right

00:04:53.680 --> 00:05:00.560
and read speeds respectively of the internal storage moving videos to and

00:04:58.080 --> 00:05:06.360
from a computer this is great for offloading photos and videos or loading

00:05:03.120 --> 00:05:08.360
media onto your device before a trip

00:05:06.360 --> 00:05:13.039
unfortunately it doesn't seem like you can set it to work this way by default

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

00:05:16.360 --> 00:05:21.800
type-c shaped Port not having been

00:05:19.680 --> 00:05:29.720
implemented in accordance with the USB type-c standard qualcom Quick Charge 3.0

00:05:26.400 --> 00:05:33.280
variable voltage fast charging prevents

00:05:29.720 --> 00:05:36.240
QC 3.0 Chargers from operating at the

00:05:33.280 --> 00:05:43.919
same time that data transfer is taking place which makes oneplus's Dash charge

00:05:40.080 --> 00:05:45.880
a 4 amp 5vt fast charging method look

00:05:43.919 --> 00:05:52.280
good for reasons that go beyond keeping the phone cooler during charging h on

00:05:50.319 --> 00:05:56.880
the left of the device is a Micro SD slot for expandable storage awesome and

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

00:05:59.919 --> 00:06:07.000
the textured top is easy to differentiate both in pocket and without

00:06:05.039 --> 00:06:10.759
the headphone jack is on top in the middle and if it sounds ridiculous the

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

00:06:12.880 --> 00:06:18.199
off the Dolby enhancement in the settings menu you're welcome and then at

00:06:16.720 --> 00:06:24.160
the rear is a noise cancelling microphone dual tone flash laser

00:06:20.840 --> 00:06:27.199
autofocus and 12 megapix rear camera

00:06:24.160 --> 00:06:29.840
whose lower megapixel count hurts under

00:06:27.199 --> 00:06:34.800
ideal well-lit conditions but who conservative d noising postprocessing

00:06:32.560 --> 00:06:39.639
Optical image stabilization and larger light scooping pixels deliver some of

00:06:36.639 --> 00:06:41.680
the best low light performance I've seen

00:06:39.639 --> 00:06:46.800
these images were taken under identical lighting conditions with the S7 the 6s

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

00:06:49.800 --> 00:06:57.720
for the most part camera control is a really strong point too autofocus is

00:06:54.960 --> 00:07:03.360
laser Qui all the usual shooting modes like 4K video Raw Stills or slow-mo are

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

00:07:04.680 --> 00:07:10.560
of fun with and the pro sliders all show

00:07:08.280 --> 00:07:15.280
up on screen at the same time making it really fast to adjust when manually

00:07:13.319 --> 00:07:19.919
shooting I just wish it was a little faster to open personally I mean the app

00:07:18.160 --> 00:07:25.400
itself launches as quickly as anyone else but HTC's implementation of gesture

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

00:07:27.120 --> 00:07:34.759
little flaky and only works when the screen scen is off and this is a

00:07:31.599 --> 00:07:36.759
criticism of everyone not just HTC but

00:07:34.759 --> 00:07:42.840
why can't I reconfigure whichever gestures I want to do whatever stuff I

00:07:39.800 --> 00:07:44.800
want anyway I still like the scent skin

00:07:42.840 --> 00:07:50.800
including blink feed and it's pretty close to stock Android now so at this

00:07:46.680 --> 00:07:53.280
point all that's left is for me to drop

00:07:50.800 --> 00:07:58.159
the phone and deliver my conclusion it feels like every other reviewer in the

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

00:08:00.479 --> 00:08:08.039
some other variation of the second coming but I didn't come twice or even

00:08:05.720 --> 00:08:14.800
once for that matter though it should be noted that that is not because the HTC1

00:08:11.159 --> 00:08:18.199
is a bad phone it actually remarkably

00:08:14.800 --> 00:08:20.759
doesn't seem to do anything wrong it's

00:08:18.199 --> 00:08:25.479
just because it also doesn't push the Innovation envelope in any way that's

00:08:22.919 --> 00:08:29.960
meaningful to me personally the better speaker experience is going to win over

00:08:28.120 --> 00:08:33.760
some buyers for sure but I'm more partial to the

00:08:31.520 --> 00:08:37.320
waterproofness of the S7 and the pressure sensitive screen and lightning

00:08:35.440 --> 00:08:41.680
fast performance including Wave 2 AC Wireless I wish everyone else would

00:08:38.519 --> 00:08:43.839
Implement that of the iPhone 6s maybe

00:08:41.680 --> 00:08:49.800
the problem though is that phones are just kind of mature now the last

00:08:47.080 --> 00:08:55.200
remaining huge gap in smartphone functionality that Apple enjoyed the

00:08:52.360 --> 00:08:59.240
camera has mostly been closed by the Koreans the Chinese and now the

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

00:09:04.040 --> 00:09:09.760
stand out bad with anything else being

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

00:09:13.279 --> 00:09:20.399
that performs well and feels good in the hand in spite of its thicker design

00:09:18.040 --> 00:09:26.120
doesn't excite me anymore is just good for buyers because that's what the HTC1

00:09:22.959 --> 00:09:28.120
is I personally still prefer the S7 but

00:09:26.120 --> 00:09:31.320
you might not and it's good to have choice

00:09:29.959 --> 00:09:37.040
and you know what other choice is good for consumers the choice of where to put

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

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

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

00:09:46.839 --> 00:09:54.560
got that Linked In the video description you can use their fantastic configurator

00:09:51.360 --> 00:09:57.320
to configure your device whether it's uh

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

00:09:59.160 --> 00:10:05.519
it's the back of a phone versus the sides of a phone you can configure

00:10:03.240 --> 00:10:10.399
pretty much any surface on the device with any color and any finish you want

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

00:10:12.880 --> 00:10:17.800

because all dbrand skins are Precision cut and B represent your personal style

00:10:20.839 --> 00:10:29.079
