The HTC 10 is the latest flagship from the Taiwanese smartphone manufacturer that is struggling to retain its dwindling market shares. The company's new flagship has been packed with powerful specifications to take on its rival's high end flagships for this year. Here we take a look at the top features of the HTC 10 to see what all it brings against its competitors.

Premium looks:

HTC 10 dons a high-grade aluminium metal body, which is in line with the leaks, rumors and teasers. The unibody design gives it a premium look and is more appealing. It resembles the One A9, but this one certainly looks even better than its predecessor.

The missing One Moniker:

Don't get confused with the name of the HTC 10, due to the missing 'One' from the name of the phone. HTC has this time dropped the 'One' moniker from its new flagship in favor of a simpler name, called the HTC 10.

A crisper Display with more pixels:

The HTC 10 smartphone dons a 5.2-inch display of Quad HD quality that has 2K or 1440X2560 pixels resolution. The display should offer sharp and crisp visuals, and reproduce colors well.

High processing power:

As expected, the HTC 10 houses Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 processor that is considered to be the most powerful chipset from Qualcomm. This is the same CPU that has recently been seen on Samsung Galaxy S7, LG G5, LeEco Max Pro, Xiaomi Mi 5 and other rival brands. It is more efficient and powerful, and conserves battery. The SoC is paired with 4GB of RAM and is available in 32GB/64GB storage options.
