HTC 10 (One M10) rumor review: design, specs, features, release date

HTC has been laying its custom Sense skin atop Android since 2009's Hero and we don't expect the company to back away from that tradition any time soon. Latest rumors claim that the HTC 10 will rock Sense 7 with Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow upon launch, but a Sense 8 update will come soon after. HTC owners will be familiar with Sense 7, as the UI is currently available even for the 2-year old One M8, so some may be a bit put off if the new flagship launches with an old interface. But in reality, Sense 7 is a pretty stable and snappy Android skin, so it shouldn't bother most users.

Camera

After poor performance and heated criticism against the 4 MP cameras in both the One M7 and One M8, HTC has retired the UltraPixel sensor from the main camera of its flagships and instead moved it to the front-facing cam. With the HTC One M9, we got a 20 MP sensor for the back snapper, which did provide better detail, but still crumbled once the scenery's lighting became less than favorable.With the HTC One A9, which is somewhat of a middle-of-the-way flagship for HTC, the manufacturer switched cameras once again, this time landing on a 13 MP sensor, which produced better results than the one in the M9. According to old rumors, the HTC 10 will come with a 12 MP UltraPixel sensor, assisted by laser autofocus technology. What this should mean is better detail than the old flagships, thanks to the sensor's resolution, and better low light performance than the One M9, thanks to the UltraPixel technology. That's just theory, but HTC did take to Twitter to boast about a "World First, World Class" camera that will, supposedly, blow our minds.

Price, release date, availability

HTC has announced that it will be holding an event on the 12th of April and it is widely believed that this is when the new flagship will be announced. Of course, we've no information on pricing just yet, but we do expect the regular flagship price point of about $600 to be met.
