Third-party reviews

Based on ratings from across the web.
Reviews last updated: August 2026 · How we calculate this

What we like about HTC 10 (4GB + 32GB)

  • Exceptional audio quality with high-end DAC, dedicated amplifiers, and BoomSound speakers
  • Premium aluminum unibody build with a durable, 'chiseled' industrial design
  • Fast and smooth performance powered by the Snapdragon 820 with minimal bloatware
  • First-of-its-kind front-facing camera with Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) for steady selfies
  • Highly customizable and elegant HTC Sense UI that stays close to 'stock' Android
  • Reliable and fast fingerprint scanner integrated into the home button

What we don't like about HTC 10 (4GB + 32GB)

  • Battery life is generally average and often fails to match top competitors like the Galaxy S7
  • Camera has consistent issues with overexposure and losing detail in highlight areas
  • Expensive initial launch price ($699) compared to high-value alternatives like the Nexus 6P
  • LCD screen visibility is poor in direct sunlight and problematic when wearing polarized sunglasses
  • Lacks complete waterproofing, offering only limited IP53 dust and splash resistance
  • Design was viewed by some as safe or generic compared to more innovative contemporary flagships

Verdict

The HTC 10 (4GB RAM + 32GB) is a high-performance flagship featuring a 5.2-inch Quad HD Super LCD 5 display with a pixel density of 564 ppi, powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 chipset and Adreno 530 GPU. Key characteristics include its premium all-metal unibody with bold chamfered edges, a 12MP UltraPixel 2 rear camera with laser autofocus, and a 5MP front camera, both notably featuring Optical Image Stabilization (OIS). Major pros include exceptional 24-bit Hi-Res audio quality with a dedicated DAC and amp, a nearly stock Android experience via HTC Sense, and rapid charging through its 3,000 mAh battery supporting Quick Charge 3.0 via USB-C. However, some cons include a tendency for the device to get warm under load, an IP53 rating that offers only limited dust and splash resistance compared to fully waterproof rivals, and a display that can be difficult to view in direct sunlight.
