Le HTC 10 ressemble beaucoup au HTC One M9 avec sa structure unibody en m\u00e9tal, mais il poss\u00e8de une partie en plastique sur le dessus qui abrite la prise casque de 3,5 mm. En r\u00e9sum\u00e9, le HTC 10 n'est pas enti\u00e8rement unibody en m\u00e9tal, mais unibody avec un corps en m\u00e9tal d'environ 98%. Et pourtant, 98% n'est pas 100%, malgr\u00e9 l'hypoth\u00e8se que les critiques techniques donnent souvent \u00e0 propos de ce que beaucoup croient \u00eatre l'un des smartphones les plus magnifiquement con\u00e7us sur le march\u00e9 Android - m\u00eame en 2016 avec le HTC 10.<\/p>\n
HTC a apport\u00e9 quelques petites modifications esth\u00e9tiques au 10 par rapport au One M9 de l'ann\u00e9e derni\u00e8re. Tout d'abord, le bouton d'alimentation reste inchang\u00e9, mais HTC a fusionn\u00e9 les boutons d'augmentation et de r\u00e9duction du volume en une bascule de volume. Il n'y a plus que deux boutons sur le c\u00f4t\u00e9 droit de l'\u00e9cran au lieu de trois, ce qui constitue un design plus rationalis\u00e9 et sophistiqu\u00e9 qui suppose que les utilisateurs comprennent ce que fait un bouton de volume.<\/p>\n
HTC a supprim\u00e9 le capteur de proximit\u00e9 qui se trouvait \u00e0 gauche de la cam\u00e9ra frontale, ainsi que le capteur infrarouge (IR) qui permet d'utiliser le smartphone pour changer de cha\u00eene de t\u00e9l\u00e9vision et de contr\u00f4ler d'autres appareils dot\u00e9s d'un capteur IR. La LED de notification reste l\u00e9g\u00e8rement \u00e0 gauche de la cam\u00e9ra frontale.<\/p>\n
Le haut-parleur frontal sup\u00e9rieur est conserv\u00e9, mais HTC a pris le deuxi\u00e8me haut-parleur frontal et l'a plac\u00e9 en bas du t\u00e9l\u00e9phone, \u00e0 droite du nouveau port de charge USB Type-C. Certains diront que c'est un excellent son, mais pas BOOMSOUND. Quoi qu'il en soit, vous obtenez toujours un son de qualit\u00e9 de l'appareil qui est difficile \u00e0 battre dans l'industrie.<\/p>\n
Le combo \u00e0 double haut-parleur existe toujours, m\u00eame s'il semble que HTC ait supprim\u00e9 et remani\u00e9 le deuxi\u00e8me haut-parleur audio au bas du t\u00e9l\u00e9phone, l\u00e0 o\u00f9 se trouvait la prise casque de 3,5 mm, pour faire de la place au capteur d'empreintes digitales avant, et ajout\u00e9 un nouveau microphone \u00e0 gauche du nouveau port de charge USB Type-C. La nouvelle disposition du combo \u00e0 deux haut-parleurs correspond \u00e0 celle observ\u00e9e sur d'autres smartphones tels que le Galaxy Note 5, le Galaxy S7 et le Galaxy S7 edge, ainsi que le dernier n\u00e9 de Samsung, le Galaxy Note 7, sans oublier le LG G5 et le OnePlus 3. Il en va de m\u00eame pour le capteur d'empreintes digitales de HTC (le OnePlus 3 pr\u00e9sente un design similaire en ce qui concerne son bouton d'empreintes digitales en verre).<\/p>\n
La prise casque de 3,5 mm que l'on trouvait en bas du HTC One M9 a \u00e9t\u00e9 d\u00e9plac\u00e9e en haut dans le HTC 10, et le connecteur USB reste au m\u00eame endroit, bien qu'il s'agisse d\u00e9sormais d'un connecteur USB Type-C au lieu de l'ancien connecteur micro-USB, qui existe depuis longtemps. Vous trouverez \u00e9galement des touches capacitives qui sont le nouveau substitut des anciens boutons logiciels \u00e0 l'\u00e9cran, HTC les ayant compl\u00e8tement supprim\u00e9s. Les amateurs de boutons logiciels ne trouveront peut-\u00eatre pas ce changement excellent, bien que ce soit mon cas.<\/p>\n
En plus de ces petits changements, HTC a \u00e9galement impl\u00e9ment\u00e9 cette ann\u00e9e un capteur d'empreintes digitales en bas de la face avant et a opt\u00e9 pour une face noire sur le HTC 10 au lieu de la face gris canon sur le One M9. La marque \"HTC\" au bas de la face avant a \u00e9t\u00e9 supprim\u00e9e, ce qui signifie que les d\u00e9tracteurs de la barre noire peuvent \u00eatre fiers que le fabricant ta\u00efwanais de smartphones les ait \u00e9cout\u00e9s et qu'il l'ait supprim\u00e9e. Certains consommateurs ont un probl\u00e8me avec les logos frontaux et les marques d'entreprise, mais je ne fais pas partie de ce camp. Je ne comprends pas comment on peut aimer le design de HTC mais m\u00e9priser la marque de l'entreprise.<\/p>\n
Le HTC 10 s'\u00e9loigne quelque peu du langage de conception au dos de l'appareil, la soci\u00e9t\u00e9 d\u00e9pla\u00e7ant le flash double LED du c\u00f4t\u00e9 gauche de l'appareil photo arri\u00e8re vers le c\u00f4t\u00e9 droit et donnant \u00e0 l'appareil photo arri\u00e8re une forme circulaire au lieu de la forme \"squirculaire\" (carr\u00e9e et circulaire combin\u00e9e) du One M9. HTC a conserv\u00e9 les lignes d'antenne situ\u00e9es en haut et en bas du dos de l'appareil, mais a supprim\u00e9 la ligne trac\u00e9e entre la bande d'antenne sup\u00e9rieure et l'appareil photo arri\u00e8re. L'aspect aluminium bross\u00e9 a \u00e9galement c\u00e9d\u00e9 la place \u00e0 un dos en aluminium plus simple. HTC a essay\u00e9 d'att\u00e9nuer son langage de conception et de simplifier son design cette ann\u00e9e, en essayant de faire valoir l'id\u00e9e que \"moins c'est plus\".<\/p>\n
HTC a apport\u00e9 quelques modifications au HTC 10 de cette ann\u00e9e, mais vous trouverez plus d'informations \u00e0 ce sujet dans la section mat\u00e9rielle ci-dessous.<\/p>\n
Affichage\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\nLe HTC 10 est dot\u00e9 d'un \u00e9cran Super LCD5 de 5,2 pouces avec verre Gorilla Glass 3, d'une r\u00e9solution de 2 560 x 1 440p (Quad HD) et d'une densit\u00e9 de pixels de 564ppi. Le 10 montre que HTC a d\u00e9sormais d\u00e9pass\u00e9 le 1080p comme r\u00e9solution d'\u00e9cran pour son produit phare haut de gamme afin de rivaliser avec Samsung, Google et d'autres OEM Android du secteur qui utilisent des r\u00e9solutions d'\u00e9cran Quad HD pour leurs produits haut de gamme. Le One M9 avait une r\u00e9solution de 1080p, vous aurez donc une am\u00e9lioration de la r\u00e9solution de l'\u00e9cran avec le 10.<\/p>\n
HTC a l\u00e9g\u00e8rement augment\u00e9 la taille de l'\u00e9cran, avec un \u00e9cran de 5,2 pouces au lieu des 5 pouces du One M9, et la soci\u00e9t\u00e9 a \u00e9galement am\u00e9lior\u00e9 la clart\u00e9 de l'exp\u00e9rience de lecture avec son \u00e9cran Super LCD5 dans le HTC 10 par rapport \u00e0 la dalle Super LCD3 dans le One M9, et les couleurs sont d\u00e9finitivement claires et bien ajust\u00e9es.<\/p>\n
L'\u00e9cran du HTC 10 est compos\u00e9 de plusieurs panneaux : l'un est le panneau LCD5 pour la r\u00e9solution, l'autre est le panneau Gorilla Glass qui garantit la r\u00e9sistance de l'\u00e9cran aux chutes, aux chocs et aux coups. En pr\u00e9parant cet article, j'ai trouv\u00e9 int\u00e9ressant de constater que m\u00eame HTC n'\u00e9tait pas en mesure de dire quelle g\u00e9n\u00e9ration de verre Gorilla elle utilisait pour le HTC 10. Sur son propre site web, HTC indique que le HTC 10 pr\u00e9sente les caract\u00e9ristiques suivantes \"Corning Gorilla Glass sur un \u00e9cran \u00e0 bords incurv\u00e9s\".<\/a> mais on ne nous dit pas si HTC utilise du verre Gorilla Glass 3 ou Gorilla Glass 4 (qui vient d'\u00eatre d\u00e9pass\u00e9 par le panneau Gorilla Glass 5 annonc\u00e9 pour le Galaxy Note 7). En parcourant un certain nombre de sites web, vous constaterez qu'ils annoncent tous une g\u00e9n\u00e9ration diff\u00e9rente pour la dalle du HTC 10 (certains disent \"GG3\", d'autres \"GG4\").<\/p>\nCe qui est encore plus surprenant, c'est que HTC a rencontr\u00e9 le m\u00eame probl\u00e8me avec son One M9 en 2015. Il y a un an, HTC a \u00e9t\u00e9 confront\u00e9 \u00e0 un site technologique de renom, il a affirm\u00e9 ne pas pouvoir confirmer autre chose que l'utilisation de verre Gorilla sur le One M9<\/a>. Au moins, cela montre que HTC a quelque chose \u00e0 cacher \u00e0 propos de ses \u00e9crans. Apr\u00e8s tout, il n'y a pas un seul \u00e9quipementier Android en dehors de HTC qui n'ait pas \u00e9t\u00e9 transparent et ouvert sur la g\u00e9n\u00e9ration de panneaux Gorilla Glass qu'il utilise dans ses smartphones de nouvelle g\u00e9n\u00e9ration.<\/p>\nLe moins que l'on puisse dire, c'est que HTC ne fait pas preuve de transparence. Ce que cela signifie pour votre HTC 10, si vous en avez d\u00e9j\u00e0 un ou si vous pr\u00e9voyez d'en acheter un, c'est que vous pouvez payer $700, le prix fort pour votre smartphone haut de gamme, mais avoir beaucoup moins de protection que vous ne le pensez. Cela n'augure rien de bon pour HTC, et cela met un b\u00e9mol \u00e0 ce qui est un solide smartphone. Si HTC reste discret sur ses panneaux en verre Gorilla, sur quoi d'autre trompe-t-il les consommateurs ?<\/p>\n
L'\u00e9cran Super LCD5 du HTC 10 est net et clair, mais il n'atteint pas les performances des \u00e9crans Super AMOLED de Samsung. L'\u00e9cran du HTC 10 semble pr\u00e9senter un \"rougissement\" ou un voile dont on ne peut se d\u00e9barrasser, alors que le panneau AMOLED de Samsung, m\u00eame dans le Galaxy Note 5 de 2015, par exemple, pr\u00e9sente des blancs \u00e9clatants qui brillent lorsque l'appareil est r\u00e9gl\u00e9 sur la luminosit\u00e9 maximale. Les panneaux AMOLED sont \u00e9galement plus lumineux que les panneaux LCD tels que ceux utilis\u00e9s sur le One M9 et le HTC 10 lorsqu'ils sont expos\u00e9s \u00e0 la lumi\u00e8re du soleil par une chaude journ\u00e9e d'\u00e9t\u00e9, ce qui les rend plus faciles \u00e0 lire pendant de longues p\u00e9riodes.<\/p>\n
Processeur et RAM<\/strong><\/h2>\nLe HTC 10 utilise le SoC (ou processeur) Snapdragon 820 de Qualcomm et 4 Go de RAM LPDDR4, alors que le HTC One M9 utilise le SoC Snapdragon 810 de Qualcomm et 3 Go de RAM LPDDR4, la derni\u00e8re g\u00e9n\u00e9ration de RAM. Le HTC 10 est cens\u00e9 avoir un processeur qui g\u00e8re mieux la surchauffe - et c'est le cas.<\/p>\n
Depuis 4 mois que j'utilise le HTC 10, j'ai constat\u00e9 que le dos de l'appareil (le dos uniquement, pas l'\u00e9cran) chauffait parfois, et que cela se produisait g\u00e9n\u00e9ralement lors d'une mise \u00e0 jour pour des correctifs de s\u00e9curit\u00e9 ou des corrections de bogues, ou les deux \u00e0 la fois. Dans la plupart des cas, que ce soit pour naviguer sur Internet, \u00e9couter de la musique, etc., je trouve que l'appareil est aussi froid qu'un concombre. Il en va de m\u00eame pour le Galaxy S7 et le Galaxy S7 edge, ce qui t\u00e9moigne des am\u00e9liorations apport\u00e9es par le nouveau processeur Snapdragon. Pour le reste, le nouveau processeur semble bien fonctionner, mais il faut garder \u00e0 l'esprit que les applications gourmandes en batterie et m\u00eame le navigateur web Chrome de Google sont connus pour \u00e9puiser l'autonomie de la batterie. Le Galaxy S7 Active est \u00e9quip\u00e9 d'un Snapdragon 820, et j'ai d\u00e9sactiv\u00e9 le navigateur web Chrome parce qu'il consommait de l'\u00e9nergie sur l'appareil - plus que la mise en veille de la cellule.<\/p>\n
En ce qui concerne la RAM, les 4 Go de la derni\u00e8re g\u00e9n\u00e9ration (la RAM a \u00e9t\u00e9 d\u00e9velopp\u00e9e par Samsung, soit dit en passant) signifient que les utilisateurs ne devraient pas avoir de difficult\u00e9 \u00e0 faire du multit\u00e2che et \u00e0 avoir plusieurs applications et pages web ouvertes simultan\u00e9ment. La capacit\u00e9 de 4 Go de RAM est la norme en 2016, puisque le LG G5, le Samsung Galaxy S7\/S7 edge\/S7 Active et m\u00eame le LG V20, r\u00e9cemment annonc\u00e9, disposent tous de 4 Go de RAM.<\/p>\n
Stockage\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\nLe HTC 10 dispose d'un espace de stockage interne de 32 Go\/64 Go, avec un emplacement pour carte microSD extensible jusqu'\u00e0 200 Go, ce qui correspond au HTC One M9 (d'apr\u00e8s la page produit de Verizon). HTC a d\u00e9clar\u00e9 que son One M9 pouvait offrir jusqu'\u00e0 2 To de stockage sur carte microSD, mais une carte microSD de 2 To n'existe pas.<\/a> - c'est la version moderne d'une licorne. L'industrie ne dispose que de cartes microSD de 200 Go, mais HTC a apparemment pens\u00e9 qu'il \u00e9tait \"\u00e0 l'\u00e9preuve du temps\" pour son smartphone en allant de l'avant et en listant le stockage \"th\u00e9orique\" comme LG l'appelle dans le LG G5 (voir, LG est coupable de la m\u00eame chose : \"2 To (th\u00e9orique) est ce que LG dit \u00e0 propos de son stockage microSD). Le HTC 10 n'est pas diff\u00e9rent, HTC continuant \u00e0 propager l'id\u00e9e que son emplacement pour carte microSD peut prendre en charge jusqu'\u00e0 2 To de stockage microSD. L'industrie ne prendra pas en charge 1 To, et n\u00e9anmoins 2 To, avant quelques ann\u00e9es, mais c'est l'un des droits de HTC \u00e0 se vanter (si l'on peut appeler droit de se vanter une fonction dont on ne peut pas tirer parti).<\/p>\nSi les 2 To \"th\u00e9oriques\" ne sont qu'un battage publicitaire, il y a une fonction de stockage qui int\u00e9ressera les acheteurs du HTC 10 : le Stockage Adoptable. Il s'agit d'une fonction qui vous permet de transformer le stockage de votre carte microSD en stockage interne qui agit et fonctionne de la m\u00eame mani\u00e8re que le stockage interne. Avez-vous d\u00e9j\u00e0 \u00e9t\u00e9 frustr\u00e9 de devoir d\u00e9placer des fichiers vers votre carte SD une fois que votre stockage interne est plein ? Alors vous serez heureux avec HTC - vous pouvez maintenant profiter de la fonction Adoptable Storage avec le HTC 10.<\/p>\n
Le stockage adoptif est une fonctionnalit\u00e9 int\u00e9ressante, mais elle a connu sa part de controverse dans Android. Samsung a eu l'occasion d'activer le stockage adoptable pour les Galaxy S7 et S7 edge au d\u00e9but de l'ann\u00e9e, mais ne l'a pas fait parce que sa client\u00e8le souhaitait transporter sa carte microSD d'un appareil \u00e0 l'autre (de son t\u00e9l\u00e9phone \u00e0 son ordinateur portable, par exemple) plut\u00f4t que de la conserver dans un seul appareil. C'est l'inconv\u00e9nient de l'Adoptable Storage, mais ceux qui ne se soucient pas de cet inconv\u00e9nient et comptent sur le stockage dans le nuage lorsque le stockage local n'est pas disponible ne seront pas du tout g\u00ean\u00e9s par cet inconv\u00e9nient et sauteront le pas de toute fa\u00e7on.<\/p>\n
Il y a tr\u00e8s peu de choses qui font que le HTC 10 se distingue dans son stockage, mais le stockage adoptable activ\u00e9 en vertu d'Android Marshmallow (et la volont\u00e9 de l'OEM de l'offrir \u00e0 ses clients) est quelque chose qui distingue le HTC 10 de ses rivaux Android haut de gamme en 2016.<\/p>\n
HTC offre 64 Go de stockage dans le HTC 10, mais les clients am\u00e9ricains doivent malheureusement se contenter du mod\u00e8le de 32 Go. Lorsque j'ai achet\u00e9 le HTC 10 en mai dernier, m\u00eame les options de couleur \u00e9taient limit\u00e9es au gris Gunmetal (il n'y a toujours qu'une seule couleur que les utilisateurs de Verizon peuvent choisir, par exemple). La plupart des utilisateurs ne verront pas d'inconv\u00e9nient \u00e0 ce que le mod\u00e8le de 32 Go soit la seule option disponible puisque le stockage adoptable est accessible - mais il aurait \u00e9t\u00e9 bon que HTC donne aux clients la possibilit\u00e9 de se passer compl\u00e8tement de l'emplacement pour carte microSD.<\/p>\n
En outre, HTC dispose d'un emplacement pour carte SIM et d'un emplacement pour carte microSD. La premi\u00e8re fois que j'ai ins\u00e9r\u00e9 une carte SIM dans l'appareil, j'ai d\u00fb me demander quel \u00e9tait l'emplacement du HTC 10. Ce n'est pas n\u00e9cessairement une bonne chose pour les consommateurs, \u00e9tant donn\u00e9 que certains d'entre eux peuvent \u00eatre d'anciens clients de Samsung. Les smartphones actuels de Samsung (Galaxy S7, Galaxy S7 edge, Galaxy S7 Active, Galaxy Note 7) disposent d'un seul emplacement pour la carte SIM et la carte microSD, et les deux emplacements de HTC semblent d\u00e9pass\u00e9s par rapport \u00e0 ses rivaux de 2016.<\/p>\n
Cam\u00e9ras<\/strong><\/h2>\nPour de nombreux consommateurs, les appareils photo constituent souvent la meilleure partie de l'exp\u00e9rience du smartphone, mais les appareils photo, comme les t\u00e9l\u00e9phones, ne sont pas tous \u00e9gaux. J'ai pass\u00e9 un peu de temps \u00e0 prendre le HTC 10 avec son appareil photo arri\u00e8re de 12MP et son ouverture f\/1.8 dans la nature et \u00e0 le comparer \u00e0 l'appareil photo d'un flagship concurrent. Les r\u00e9sultats sont que le HTC 10 a des couleurs vibrantes, avec des \"verts\" vraiment verts, mais souffre de surexposition et d'un voile autour de ses photos qui semble appara\u00eetre sur chaque photo.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\nJ'ai fait une petite s\u00e9ance photo entre le HTC 10 et le Galaxy S7 Active (qui a le m\u00eame autofocus \u00e0 d\u00e9tection de phase 12MP Dual Pixel que les Galaxy S7, Galaxy S7 edge et Galaxy Note 7 ainsi qu'une ouverture f\/1.7). Dans certaines photos o\u00f9 le Galaxy S7 Active offrait de l'ombre et des verts \"froids\" qui souffraient au niveau des couleurs lorsqu'ils \u00e9taient \u00e0 l'ombre, le HTC 10 montrait toujours des \"verts\" vibrants et vivants. Pourtant, l'appareil photo 12MP du Galaxy S7 Active cr\u00e9e des photos vivantes, ce qui n'est pas le cas de la photo d'une feuille rouge sur l'herbe prise par le HTC 10. La photo du HTC 10 \u00e0 gauche ci-dessus semble vivante au moment o\u00f9 elle a \u00e9t\u00e9 prise, mais la photo du Galaxy S7 Active de la m\u00eame feuille rouge donne l'impression que je suis toujours \u00e0 l'ext\u00e9rieur, vivant au moment m\u00eame o\u00f9 la photo a \u00e9t\u00e9 prise.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\nDans une autre photo concernant l'\u00e9corce des arbres, la photo du HTC 10 a le genre de saturation que l'on attend des photos au soleil. Le Galaxy S7 Active, en revanche, montre de l'herbe et des buissons un peu plus froids, mais a tendance \u00e0 montrer l'\u00e9corce des arbres, par exemple, en d\u00e9tail (on peut zoomer dessus sans voir imm\u00e9diatement du bruit, contrairement \u00e0 la photo du HTC 10). Le HTC 10 n'offre pas le m\u00eame niveau de d\u00e9tail : il ne faut pas longtemps pour zoomer et ne voir qu'un flou de couleur. Vous pouvez voir la qualit\u00e9 du zoom dans la deuxi\u00e8me s\u00e9rie de photos d'\u00e9corces d'arbres ci-dessus.<\/p>\n
Le HTC 10 a eu du mal \u00e0 faire la mise au point automatique, et il a fallu appuyer manuellement sur l'\u00e9cran pour faire la mise au point de l'objectif et prendre la photo. En prenant des photos sans utiliser la fonction de mise au point automatique manuelle, on obtenait des photos qui capturaient les feuilles mais laissaient des fleurs \"floues\". En revanche, l'appareil photo 12 Mpx du S7 Active n'a pas eu besoin de mes comp\u00e9tences en mati\u00e8re d'autofocus manuel pour produire une belle photo. Les fleurs ont \u00e9t\u00e9 bien travaill\u00e9es et les arri\u00e8re-plans ont b\u00e9n\u00e9fici\u00e9 de ce \"bokeh\" sexy dont les photographes professionnels ne se lassent jamais.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\nD'autres photos que vous pouvez voir ci-dessous montrent les diff\u00e9rences entre les prises de vue du HTC 10 et du Galaxy S7 Active. En fin de compte, les photos de Samsung sont suffisamment bonnes en l'\u00e9tat, avec une exposition pr\u00e9cise la plupart du temps. Le HTC 10, m\u00eame avec des couleurs vibrantes, a du mal avec l'exposition. Il se peut que l'objectif de l'appareil photo arri\u00e8re soit trop sensible aux traces de doigts et que les taches affectent les photos (comme ce fut le cas pour certaines de mes photos pendant la dur\u00e9e d'utilisation g\u00e9n\u00e9rale), mais le \"voile\" sur les photos est tout simplement trop courant dans les photos du HTC 10 pour qu'il s'agisse d'un simple probl\u00e8me. Il semble que la plupart des photos prises \u00e0 l'ext\u00e9rieur soient trop surexpos\u00e9es avec le HTC 10, alors que les photos du Samsung S7 Active offrent un \u00e9quilibre entre la lumi\u00e8re du soleil et l'ombre qui donne vie aux moments.<\/p>\n
Au final, je donne la palme de l'appareil photo au Samsung Galaxy S7 Active et \u00e0 l'ensemble de la s\u00e9rie S7 et du Galaxy Note 7.<\/p>\n
Note : Apr\u00e8s avoir r\u00e9dig\u00e9 cette section, j'ai fait quelques recherches et j'ai d\u00e9couvert deux choses : 1) qu'une critique d'une publication bien connue j'ai eu le m\u00eame probl\u00e8me avec les photos du HTC 10<\/a>et 2) que Le HTC 10 pr\u00e9sente un probl\u00e8me de reflet de lentille<\/a> en raison de l'absence d'une protection ol\u00e9ophobe de l'objectif de l'appareil photo (ol\u00e9ophobe signifie qu'il est r\u00e9sistant aux empreintes digitales). Comme je l'ai dit plus haut, les traces d'empreintes digitales affectent \u00e9galement la qualit\u00e9 des photos prises avec le HTC 10.<\/p>\nVous pouvez consulter les performances de l'appareil photo du HTC 10 ci-dessous.<\/p>\n

Battery and Battery Life<\/strong><\/h2>\nBattery life on the HTC 10 has been good, though I wouldn’t call it great like I would the battery life of the Galaxy S7 Active, for example. And yet, I’ve often gotten 7-9 hours of screen-on time and about 26 hours of battery life (on average). In the most heavy usage times, I’ve been able to get about 15-17 hours of battery life and about 7 hours of screen-on time (SOT). Since I’m one to use my smartphone all the time, these stats are good (and at times, quite exceptional), but the OnePlus 3 can also achieve the same stats with its 3,000mAh battery \u2013 so the HTC 10 battery life isn’t all that exceptional. Additionally, the 9-hour SOT scores below were consistent at first, then the average battery life dropped to 7 hours SOT. With that said, keep in mind that every phone has a honeymoon battery phase; 4 months in, though, I can tell you that the honeymoon phase doesn’t last too long with the HTC 10, however.<\/p>\n
It will suffice for what you need if you’re on your phone all day, provided that you’re not using Bluetooth much or too reliant on cellular data. The battery stats provided below used airplane mode and WiFi calling and texting because of a mysterious “voice roaming” message that would pop up and live in my notification shade each time I’d disable airplane mode and let my cellular data co-exist with WiFi. I discovered that enabling airplane mode put an end to the voice roaming messages.<\/p>\n
To read the battery stats below, keep in mind that every 3 or 4 screenshots (read from left to right) mark a new battery charge.<\/p>\n

Avantages et inconv\u00e9nients\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\nAfter all the discussion of the HTC 10’s internals and the goodies you get with the device, it’s time to examine what’s to like and what’s not to like.<\/p>\n
Since the HTC 10 is a high-end Android flagship, it must be compared to other available flagships such as the LG G5, Samsung Galaxy S7, Galaxy S7 edge, and Galaxy S7 Active. The pros and cons below are based on how the device stacks up against its currently available competitors, though I realize that other devices such as the LG V20 with its 32-bit Quad DAC Hi-Fi sound may come along and challenge the HTC 10’s 24-bit HiFi sound.<\/p>\n
HTC 10 Pros\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\nThe HTC 10 has a front-facing fingerprint sensor that is a departure from the back-mounted fingerprint sensor days of the HTC One M7, for example. I for one am thankful that the company has ditched fingerprint readers\/sensors on the back of the device because I see little usefulness for anything much to sit on the back of the device. Back-mounted fingerprint sensors send the message that consumers will have their devices in hand all the time, but that just isn’t true. HTC bakes a fingerprint sensor in the front panel, and the location is the exact place where most individuals feel comfortable placing their finger.<\/p>\n
I also have to say that the HTC 10 has good audio. Some tech reviewers call it excellent, but I wouldn’t go that far. The audio sound is better than all HTC’s rivals are offering at the moment, so you won’t need to turn your phone upside down or make sure the speakers are facing you so as to get a decent quality sound. The HTC 10’s audio doesn’t sound like its reverberating in your ear or that the recording took place miles away; instead, it sounds as though the recording is being done live, as you listen to the music. Skype conversations, Google Play Music, and even YouTube videos sound good on the HTC 10, so audio is perhaps one of the 10’s better-performing departments.<\/p>\n
Adoptable Storage with Android 6.0 Marshmallow is another win for HTC. There are a number of high-end Android OEMs like LG and Samsung that aren’t doing Adoptable Storage for their handsets, so HTC’s decision to include it here is an extra choice that HTC 10 users get as opposed to those who buy from the other 2 OEMs just mentioned. Adoptable Storage lets you take a 256GB microSD card and add it to your 32GB of internal storage (for a total of 288GB of internal formatted storage). You won’t run out of storage or need another microSD card with Adoptable Storage. There are downsides as I mentioned above, but some view the good as outweighing the bad and will appreciate this stand-out feature in the HTC 10 when deciding which Android smartphone is worth their money.<\/p>\n
The device itself is comprised of majority metal with some plastic strip on the top, for example, and the antenna bands that run across the back of the device, and some appreciate metal build quality. The 10 is definitely thinner and lighter than my memories of the HTC One M7 and One M8, which has made it a great device to use over the last 4 months. It’s not a fingerprint magnet as has been said of Samsung’s Galaxy S7 series and the Galaxy Note 7, but the HTC 10 still keeps fingerprints more than I’d like it to. I still find my greasy, sweaty palms leaving fingerprint smudges on the back of this metal device \u2013 and I still have to wipe the back of the device off from time to time. Just keep this in mind if you intend to pick up the HTC 10 later this year.<\/p>\n
Splash resistance is another win for the HTC 10, seeing that the 10’s IP53 certification is something that One M9 users (and earlier) did not get. Every device needs some form of water resistance because no one can predict with 100% accuracy and 100% certainty that they’ll never drop their device in a water puddle or have water spill all over their device at a restaurant (or get drowned with the rain while out in bad weather). Life’s situations and circumstances are uncertain, and, to that end, mandate a device that is just as life-proof as it is well-built.<\/p>\n
Finally, HTC’s Theme Store is a welcome addition for those who want to personalize their devices even further. Verizon has HTC theme support, unlike LG theme support \u2013 which is virtually a pipe dream at Big Red. If Verizon customers want to theme their device and they’re considering LG or HTC, HTC is the most likely bet outside of Samsung’s S7 series. In addition to all this, the build quality is unparalleled. HTC 10 users will not be afraid to pull out their phone and flaunt it for all to see, that’s for sure.<\/p>\n
HTC 10 Cons\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\nThere are a few things to really like about the HTC 10, but there are things to dislike. Until one examines the criticisms, he or she can never know how strong the strengths really are.<\/p>\n
Affichage<\/b><\/h4>\n
First on the list of drawbacks or things not to like is the lack of an AMOLED panel. Although IPS LCD panels are cheap to buy and cost a dime a dozen (not literally, mind you), AMOLED panels offer the deepest, darkest blacks and most vibrant colors your eyes can see. They’re a bit saturated in nature and some don’t want such saturation, but I for one welcome it. I think that if any OEM wants me to keep its device in my hands for a long time, then the device should have a screen with the most lifelike colors.<\/p>\n
AMOLEDs are far superior to LCDs, but I have a feeling that HTC wanted to cut cost and opted for an IPS LCD over the AMOLED panels the company uses for its One A9 smartphone. Why HTC did this I’ll never know, but it seems obvious to me that when a company uses AMOLED on one phone and then switches back to LCD for a later generation, money is key.<\/p>\n
Speaking of the display, HTC is shooting itself in the foot through its lack of transparency about the Gorilla Glass generation it’s providing for consumers. Some consumers have Gorilla Glass 4 in the One M9 while some had GG3, and HTC never clarified what it did in production. The same can be said for the HTC 10, seeing that the Taiwanese phone maker never clarifies whether it’s “Gorilla Glass 3” or “Gorilla Glass 4” on its website.<\/p>\n
Some say that it’s safe to bet on GG3, but I’m not sure this is the case at all: for all we know, HTC could be using GG1 or GG2 instead of GG3 or GG4, and could simply do what it wants by remaining silent. The problem with this is that, for $700, consumers want a durable glass that doesn’t shatter as easily as previous generations. HTC’s silence on the subject shows that, while the company doesn’t want to be accused of false advertising, it can be accused of not caring about customers enough to give them the best.<\/p>\n
No consumer gives $700 to an OEM to get shortchanged on the device’s durability. LG, Samsung, Motorola, Sony, and other OEMs can be open and transparent about the GG generation they’re using; why can’t HTC? If HTC can’t be open about this, what else is HTC hiding? Why should you buy a device from a company that remains quiet so as to continue giving you an inferior durability and inferior display \u2013 all while charging you $700 for what you think is the latest-generation display? If you pay the latest-generation price, you should have the latest-generation tech. HTC can’t expect to scam consumers under the radar like this and then expect its devices to sell well.<\/p>\n
Stockage<\/b><\/h4>\n
The HTC 10 has 32GB of minimum storage which is fine for most consumers, but a 64GB option would have been nice. After all, it’s normal for US customers to feel cheated when they only get 32GB while other worldwide consumers get their choice of 32GB or 64GB. Sony has sent the impression that it doesn’t care about the US (which explains why few Americans will even touch the new Xperia X series or the old Xperia Z series), and HTC can’t afford to ignore the American market when it’s one of the largest markets worldwide for HTC rivals Apple and Samsung.<\/p>\n
It doesn’t take away from the experience for most, but it’s somewhat disappointing to see 3 colors of the HTC 10 unveiled but only get to choose the Gunmetal Gray offering. It’s not a bad option, but we wish HTC would’ve had the Camellia Red option (once exclusive to Japan) available at launch for worldwide customers. Customers who ordered the Gunmetal Gray because no other color option was available now have to live with the gray \u2013 when they could’ve gotten the red model.<\/p>\n
OEMs have so many months to prepare for their high-end flagship announcements, and we expect HTC to get things together in 2017 with regard to color options. The more options you give consumers at launch, the more they’ll return to buy your handset, year after year. There shouldn’t be an issue with delayed color options because OEMs have 12 months before the next flagship’s release to straighten this all out. If HTC were launching multiple flagship phones a year, like Samsung, then we could give a break here. With the company launching less than 25% of the phones Samsung launches annually, there’s simply no excuse for delayed color options.<\/p>\n
Appareil photo<\/b><\/h4>\n
The HTC 10 front camera is 5MP and utilizes Samsung’s S5K4E6 camera sensor but comes with optical image stabilization (or OIS). The front camera OIS on the HTC 10 is the first front-facing smartphone camera to incorporate OIS for the front camera, and it appears to do a nice job. The 12MP back camera takes expected photos, though HTC has made great strides in improving its back camera from the 20MP sensor found in last year’s One M9. The one drawback to the HTC 10 back camera is that the back camera lens gets too glossy, too quickly.<\/p>\n
I’ve purchased a lot of phones this year and am always touching the backs of phones where the cameras are located, but the HTC 10 has the most fingerprint-sensitive back camera of all the high-end Android smartphones I’ve picked up this year (that includes the Galaxy S7 edge, Galaxy S7 Active, LG G5, Galaxy Note 7, and OnePlus 3).<\/p>\n
The end result of the fingerprint sensitivity is that photos reflect that “smudginess,” taking away from the overall moment. HTC needs to have something of an oleophobic-resistant coating on the back camera lens to prevent that from being an issue with consumers.<\/p>\n
Batterie<\/b><\/h4>\n
Battery life has been standard on the HTC 10, with the 10 giving less battery life than the Galaxy S7 edge with its 3,600mAh battery. HTC upped the battery capacity from 2,840mAh on the One M9 to just 3,000mAh this year \u2013 which is only a slight battery bump of 160mAh. Now, the HTC 10 battery capacity is greater than that of the LG G5’s 2,800mAh, but the 10 still needs some work when compared to the 3,600mAh battery of the Galaxy S7 edge, for example. The S7 edge has the potential to provide 36 hours of battery life; the HTC 10 will hardly ever get you there. You may get 30 hours max if you’re lucky (and you’ll have to cut some corners to get there). On this latest charge, the battery pulled out to 27 hours before cutting off. You may get more if you’re not a moderate to heavy user as I am (in tech, I live on mobile).<\/p>\n
Customers can never get enough battery, but the 3,000mAh battery is only enough to get you through the day, if at that. In my own use, I only got about 17-18 hours (max) out of the device, with 15 hours of battery life and 7 hours of screen-on time (SOT) consistently in repeat battery stats. The HTC 10’s battery capacity is slightly larger than that of the iPhone 7 Plus, so 15 hours of WiFi browsing for the iPhone 7 Plus matches what I got from the HTC 10 on a regular basis. This is okay, but not enough for high-end smartphones in 2016.<\/p>\n
HTC fails in another area as well when it comes to battery: there are no HTC battery modes to help, save for the extreme mode that disables nearly everything. Samsung has revamped its Power Saving Mode in the Galaxy Note 7 to give you the option to scale down the resolution to save battery life. You won’t get that here with the HTC 10, so good luck conserving your battery on your own. The 10 doesn’t provide in-built wireless charging either for flexibility. While wireless charging still relies on a stationary cable connected to a charging pad, it’s a safer way to charge your device and maintain a healthy battery while not forcing you to connect your phone directly into the wall and “shock charge” it all the time.<\/p>\n
I want to say this here: battery life is not terrible (it’s anything but that), but HTC could’ve done more to bring a compelling battery performance \u2013 such as giving a larger battery. The company simply did little to add more battery life here, with the exception of the USB Type-C charging capabilities and QuickCharge 3.0 via Qualcomm that don’t quite do the job.<\/p>\n
The 3,000mAh battery takes 90 minutes to charge via the USB-C cable, which is still 9 minutes behind Samsung’s Galaxy Note 5 (81 minutes, from 2015; it doesn’t have USB-C but micro-USB instead) and 17 minutes behind OnePlus’s OnePlus 3 from 2016 (3,000mAh battery with USB-C charging that only takes 73 minutes to charge). To make matters worse, the 3,000mAh OnePlus 3 lasts 22-24 hours consistently, which poses problems for the HTC 10 because it didn’t. 15-17 hours on the HTC 10 was the stamina extent, so the OnePlus 3 (that retails for $399.99; yes, you’re reading the price right!) outperforms the HTC 10 in battery life.<\/p>\n
All this is to say that battery life is sufficient for some, but moderate to heavy users will still need to plug the phone in by day’s end (if not earlier). HTC needs to go beyond adding a mere 160mAh extra to the battery in 2017. A 3300mAh or 3400mAh battery would be nice. I’d rather have seen the addition of a much larger battery and the addition of wireless charging capabilities than the additional chamfered edges all around the HTC 10’s body. Wireless charging is not possible with a metal unibody design, though, which would’ve meant that HTC needed to make something that wasn’t so “metallic.” Again, though, HTC cut corners in order to save on costs, all while charging $700 and making more money from this phone that seems all too familiar to the One M9, One M8, and One M7.<\/p>\n
Splash Resistance<\/b><\/h4>\n
Splash resistance has been viewed as a win here to give consumers some form of water protection, but it simply doesn’t stack up against Samsung and Apple when both top brands have employed water and dust resistance (not splash resistance) in their 2016 smartphone lineup. Apple’s iPhone 7 has it, thanks to Samsung’s Galaxy S7, S7 edge, and Note 7.<\/p>\n
Splash resistance is still a vague term because in most situations, your phone still won’t be able to stand water. How many splashes does it take before your phone dies? How large or small the splash that can kill the HTC 10? The device itself is Ingress Protection (or IP) certified, but IP53 refers to the lightest of splashes, small splashes of water (usually water dots), but nothing like a submersion or huge water flood of any sort. In other words, don’t drop the HTC 10 in the sink while washing dishes, or accidentally leave it in your favorite pair of jeans that just so happen to get washed on the weekend.<\/p>\n
The Galaxy S7, Galaxy S7 edge, Galaxy S7 Active, and Galaxy Note 7 are all IP68-certified for dustproofing and strong water resistance (though not waterproof); the iPhone 7 is also strongly dust-resistant but not as water-resistant as the Samsung S7 series (it bears a “7” rating to Samsung’s “8” for waterproofing). The iPhone 7, Galaxy S7 series, and Galaxy Note 7 are all water-resistant<\/em>, but the HTC 10 is splash-resistant<\/em>. Splashes and water submersions are not synonymous, which means that the 10 has very little water protection at all.<\/p>\nNow, to be fair to HTC, the company does provide an Uh-Oh Protection Plan that lets you exchange your device twice in a year, even in cases of water damage, but consumers shouldn’t have to exchange their devices because they lack waterproofing. Providing water damage replacement on a phone that should have water protection built in is nothing more than putting a band-aid on a wound instead of preventing the wound from occurring in the first place. If the wound can be prevented, then there’s no need for a band-aid; similarly, if water protection can prevent water damage on the 10 itself, then HTC’s Uh-Oh Protection would be mostly obsolete.<\/p>\n
Above the IP53 certification (I think HTC should’ve gone for IP68 or at least IP67), having just splash resistance on a premium, high-end device is nothing short of a scandal. Splash resistance is just not good enough for a high-end, $700 Android device. Perhaps it’s better than none at all, but it’s just not good enough. If we were talking about the HTC Desire series, I’d still disagree, but at least splash resistance would be justified by the far lower price tag. At $700, I shouldn\u2019t have to worry about my device getting water damage when I’m paying top dollar for a top-notch phone.<\/p>\n
HTC cut corners on this as well, I’m afraid, which means that consumers who pick up this phone aren’t getting the water and dust protection their devices will need to last. As with its Gorilla Glass panel, you’re paying $700 but HTC is skimping out on durability for its high-end flagship.<\/p>\n
No consumer VR headset<\/b><\/h4>\n
This is another interesting thought that hit me in the course of preparing this review. HTC has said that it’s betting big on VR as the wave of the future and has even released its HTC Vive that is catching developer attention. At the same time, though, the HTC Vive mandates a PC with comparable hardware and at least 6GB or 8GB of RAM to operate it, with few consumers wanting to spend $500 for the headset (the price of the HTC Vive) and then spend another $500+ to get a comparable desktop PC for it. Why not create a consumer VR headset and release it with the HTC 10?<\/p>\n
Sure, Google’s Daydream VR headset is on the way and all high-end Android phones will be Daydream VR-ready, but that doesn’t excuse HTC when the company has already created a VR headset for the high-end market. With the company’s smartphone sales in decline, having a consumer VR headset would’ve been a surefire way to drum up consumer interest and get some Samsung customers to reconsider the company’s devices once again.<\/p>\n
The lack of a consumer VR headset means that HTC isn’t interested in courting its customers and giving them a taste of the company’s vision. Yes, HTC also released JBL Reflect Aware headphones with its handset for pre-orders<\/a>, and even gave $100 off the retail price of the handset or $100 off accessories, but a VR headset might’ve been a better way to go for HTC. After all, if VR is the wave of the future, why not introduce your HTC 10 consumers to the future?<\/p>\nWith the need to look like a rising tech company, a consumer VR headset would’ve been a wise idea \u2013 but HTC decided to go its own way and market the 10 as a phone for audiophiles. Not everyone is obsessed with audio quality. What about the VR crowd? Apparently, they’ll have to wait for the new HTC\/Google Pixel smartphones to get a taste of VR in the twenty-first century.<\/p>\n
Conclusion\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\nI’ve gone into great lengths to discuss HTC’s efforts in the HTC 10, as well as pros and cons that are problematic for what was to be HTC’s comeback device.<\/p>\n
HTC could’ve given a definitive statement on its Gorilla Glass display, provided a free consumer VR headset, and even lowered the price of the 10 to win consumers back to the company, but it decided to go against these things entirely.<\/p>\n
The HTC 10 is a device that is fluid, fast, and capable of just about anything you want to do. Unfortunately, HTC decided to remove much of its own proprietary software this year in order to win over tech geeks who are in love with basic Android apps and want a “bloat-free” experience so as to use their storage how they please. It’s never a wise decision to completely scale down the experience to take away a lot of the functionality that made your devices stand out. Plus, HTC’s proprietary software wasn’t a problem because it wasn’t slowing down the company’s devices to begin with.<\/p>\n
HTC will never compete with Google when it comes to updates and functionality, but the company could’ve won back some of the old guard that turned to Samsung because HTC has become irrelevant to them. Without much functionality to distinguish between an HTC 10 and an upcoming Google Pixel device (that’ll be manufactured by HTC), what’s the point in buying a 10 when the Pixel device will have much more to offer thanks to Google aiming for functionality now over form (and retail for nearly the same price)?<\/p>\n
In the final analysis, the HTC 10 has to compete with Samsung’s Galaxy S7, S7 edge, S7 Active, and Note 7, and the phone doesn’t have the muscle to do so. Samsung’s phones offer a revamped UI, best-in-class cameras, great battery life and larger battery capacities than most phones in the high-end Android market, true water and dust resistance, eye-watering AMOLED displays, alongside of additional functionality such as a new Power Saving Mode and water and dust resistance in its Galaxy Note 7, and a new Translate feature in the Note 7 that lets you translate words by just hovering the S Pen (now water-resistant, too) above the word on the screen, among other things.<\/p>\n
Samsung also gives away a free Gear VR headset (worth $99), a 256GB microSD card (worth $200), or a free Gear Fit2 fitness band (worth $200) with its smartphone sales, which HTC’s incentives can’t touch. HTC is a company that wants to make money without having to compromise financially, but Samsung is having success because it knows how to court and woo consumers.<\/p>\n
In the high-end Android market, as well as in life, you can’t cut corners and hope to have a great result. HTC has cut corners on the Gorilla Glass display, fast charging, splash resistance, and reduced proprietary functionality in order to gain adherents and make some quick sales, but at what cost? A lot. The cost is great.<\/p>\n
This isn’t to say that the HTC 10 isn’t a good handset, because it is. And yet, for what it gives you, the $700 price tag is simply too high. Had the HTC 10 been released 4 years ago, the price tag would’ve been standard and expected. In 2016, though, with budget-friendly phones such as the OnePlus 3 offering the majority of what consumers need at half the cost, $700 is expected to carry the consumer much further than a basic “Google-licious” experience with HTC branding. Samsung’s devices are selling for $700-$800 and provide $100-$200 in incentives. Oh, did I mention that the Gear VR from Samsung comes with 6 free games out of the box?<\/p>\n
The HTC 10 is a good device, and it’s better in user experience than the LG G5, but sadly, that’s not saying much. It’s like saying that someone is less criminal than the worst criminal. The HTC 10 offers one a vanilla Android experience, with a selfie and back camera, some splash resistance, USB Type-C charging, a standard battery size, and the same metal build quality for $700. If HTC worked hard to improve the camera, that’s about all HTC did to prepare the 10 for sale. If there are any other changes here worth bragging about, I’m not seeing them.<\/p>\n
In short, the HTC 10 is above LG in the market but woefully under Samsung when it comes to giving you the best bang for your buck. In 2016, it’s just not acceptable to get a measly vanilla Android UI experience out of the box and charge $700 for it. Consumers want more and expect more, but it seems as though HTC didn’t get the memo.<\/p>\n

Ce qui est encore plus surprenant, c'est que HTC a rencontr\u00e9 le m\u00eame probl\u00e8me avec son One M9 en 2015. Il y a un an, HTC a \u00e9t\u00e9 confront\u00e9 \u00e0 un site technologique de renom, il a affirm\u00e9 ne pas pouvoir confirmer autre chose que l'utilisation de verre Gorilla sur le One M9<\/a>. Au moins, cela montre que HTC a quelque chose \u00e0 cacher \u00e0 propos de ses \u00e9crans. Apr\u00e8s tout, il n'y a pas un seul \u00e9quipementier Android en dehors de HTC qui n'ait pas \u00e9t\u00e9 transparent et ouvert sur la g\u00e9n\u00e9ration de panneaux Gorilla Glass qu'il utilise dans ses smartphones de nouvelle g\u00e9n\u00e9ration.<\/p>\n Le moins que l'on puisse dire, c'est que HTC ne fait pas preuve de transparence. Ce que cela signifie pour votre HTC 10, si vous en avez d\u00e9j\u00e0 un ou si vous pr\u00e9voyez d'en acheter un, c'est que vous pouvez payer $700, le prix fort pour votre smartphone haut de gamme, mais avoir beaucoup moins de protection que vous ne le pensez. Cela n'augure rien de bon pour HTC, et cela met un b\u00e9mol \u00e0 ce qui est un solide smartphone. Si HTC reste discret sur ses panneaux en verre Gorilla, sur quoi d'autre trompe-t-il les consommateurs ?<\/p>\n L'\u00e9cran Super LCD5 du HTC 10 est net et clair, mais il n'atteint pas les performances des \u00e9crans Super AMOLED de Samsung. L'\u00e9cran du HTC 10 semble pr\u00e9senter un \"rougissement\" ou un voile dont on ne peut se d\u00e9barrasser, alors que le panneau AMOLED de Samsung, m\u00eame dans le Galaxy Note 5 de 2015, par exemple, pr\u00e9sente des blancs \u00e9clatants qui brillent lorsque l'appareil est r\u00e9gl\u00e9 sur la luminosit\u00e9 maximale. Les panneaux AMOLED sont \u00e9galement plus lumineux que les panneaux LCD tels que ceux utilis\u00e9s sur le One M9 et le HTC 10 lorsqu'ils sont expos\u00e9s \u00e0 la lumi\u00e8re du soleil par une chaude journ\u00e9e d'\u00e9t\u00e9, ce qui les rend plus faciles \u00e0 lire pendant de longues p\u00e9riodes.<\/p>\n Le HTC 10 utilise le SoC (ou processeur) Snapdragon 820 de Qualcomm et 4 Go de RAM LPDDR4, alors que le HTC One M9 utilise le SoC Snapdragon 810 de Qualcomm et 3 Go de RAM LPDDR4, la derni\u00e8re g\u00e9n\u00e9ration de RAM. Le HTC 10 est cens\u00e9 avoir un processeur qui g\u00e8re mieux la surchauffe - et c'est le cas.<\/p>\n Depuis 4 mois que j'utilise le HTC 10, j'ai constat\u00e9 que le dos de l'appareil (le dos uniquement, pas l'\u00e9cran) chauffait parfois, et que cela se produisait g\u00e9n\u00e9ralement lors d'une mise \u00e0 jour pour des correctifs de s\u00e9curit\u00e9 ou des corrections de bogues, ou les deux \u00e0 la fois. Dans la plupart des cas, que ce soit pour naviguer sur Internet, \u00e9couter de la musique, etc., je trouve que l'appareil est aussi froid qu'un concombre. Il en va de m\u00eame pour le Galaxy S7 et le Galaxy S7 edge, ce qui t\u00e9moigne des am\u00e9liorations apport\u00e9es par le nouveau processeur Snapdragon. Pour le reste, le nouveau processeur semble bien fonctionner, mais il faut garder \u00e0 l'esprit que les applications gourmandes en batterie et m\u00eame le navigateur web Chrome de Google sont connus pour \u00e9puiser l'autonomie de la batterie. Le Galaxy S7 Active est \u00e9quip\u00e9 d'un Snapdragon 820, et j'ai d\u00e9sactiv\u00e9 le navigateur web Chrome parce qu'il consommait de l'\u00e9nergie sur l'appareil - plus que la mise en veille de la cellule.<\/p>\n En ce qui concerne la RAM, les 4 Go de la derni\u00e8re g\u00e9n\u00e9ration (la RAM a \u00e9t\u00e9 d\u00e9velopp\u00e9e par Samsung, soit dit en passant) signifient que les utilisateurs ne devraient pas avoir de difficult\u00e9 \u00e0 faire du multit\u00e2che et \u00e0 avoir plusieurs applications et pages web ouvertes simultan\u00e9ment. La capacit\u00e9 de 4 Go de RAM est la norme en 2016, puisque le LG G5, le Samsung Galaxy S7\/S7 edge\/S7 Active et m\u00eame le LG V20, r\u00e9cemment annonc\u00e9, disposent tous de 4 Go de RAM.<\/p>\n Le HTC 10 dispose d'un espace de stockage interne de 32 Go\/64 Go, avec un emplacement pour carte microSD extensible jusqu'\u00e0 200 Go, ce qui correspond au HTC One M9 (d'apr\u00e8s la page produit de Verizon). HTC a d\u00e9clar\u00e9 que son One M9 pouvait offrir jusqu'\u00e0 2 To de stockage sur carte microSD, mais une carte microSD de 2 To n'existe pas.<\/a> - c'est la version moderne d'une licorne. L'industrie ne dispose que de cartes microSD de 200 Go, mais HTC a apparemment pens\u00e9 qu'il \u00e9tait \"\u00e0 l'\u00e9preuve du temps\" pour son smartphone en allant de l'avant et en listant le stockage \"th\u00e9orique\" comme LG l'appelle dans le LG G5 (voir, LG est coupable de la m\u00eame chose : \"2 To (th\u00e9orique) est ce que LG dit \u00e0 propos de son stockage microSD). Le HTC 10 n'est pas diff\u00e9rent, HTC continuant \u00e0 propager l'id\u00e9e que son emplacement pour carte microSD peut prendre en charge jusqu'\u00e0 2 To de stockage microSD. L'industrie ne prendra pas en charge 1 To, et n\u00e9anmoins 2 To, avant quelques ann\u00e9es, mais c'est l'un des droits de HTC \u00e0 se vanter (si l'on peut appeler droit de se vanter une fonction dont on ne peut pas tirer parti).<\/p>\n Si les 2 To \"th\u00e9oriques\" ne sont qu'un battage publicitaire, il y a une fonction de stockage qui int\u00e9ressera les acheteurs du HTC 10 : le Stockage Adoptable. Il s'agit d'une fonction qui vous permet de transformer le stockage de votre carte microSD en stockage interne qui agit et fonctionne de la m\u00eame mani\u00e8re que le stockage interne. Avez-vous d\u00e9j\u00e0 \u00e9t\u00e9 frustr\u00e9 de devoir d\u00e9placer des fichiers vers votre carte SD une fois que votre stockage interne est plein ? Alors vous serez heureux avec HTC - vous pouvez maintenant profiter de la fonction Adoptable Storage avec le HTC 10.<\/p>\n Le stockage adoptif est une fonctionnalit\u00e9 int\u00e9ressante, mais elle a connu sa part de controverse dans Android. Samsung a eu l'occasion d'activer le stockage adoptable pour les Galaxy S7 et S7 edge au d\u00e9but de l'ann\u00e9e, mais ne l'a pas fait parce que sa client\u00e8le souhaitait transporter sa carte microSD d'un appareil \u00e0 l'autre (de son t\u00e9l\u00e9phone \u00e0 son ordinateur portable, par exemple) plut\u00f4t que de la conserver dans un seul appareil. C'est l'inconv\u00e9nient de l'Adoptable Storage, mais ceux qui ne se soucient pas de cet inconv\u00e9nient et comptent sur le stockage dans le nuage lorsque le stockage local n'est pas disponible ne seront pas du tout g\u00ean\u00e9s par cet inconv\u00e9nient et sauteront le pas de toute fa\u00e7on.<\/p>\n Il y a tr\u00e8s peu de choses qui font que le HTC 10 se distingue dans son stockage, mais le stockage adoptable activ\u00e9 en vertu d'Android Marshmallow (et la volont\u00e9 de l'OEM de l'offrir \u00e0 ses clients) est quelque chose qui distingue le HTC 10 de ses rivaux Android haut de gamme en 2016.<\/p>\n HTC offre 64 Go de stockage dans le HTC 10, mais les clients am\u00e9ricains doivent malheureusement se contenter du mod\u00e8le de 32 Go. Lorsque j'ai achet\u00e9 le HTC 10 en mai dernier, m\u00eame les options de couleur \u00e9taient limit\u00e9es au gris Gunmetal (il n'y a toujours qu'une seule couleur que les utilisateurs de Verizon peuvent choisir, par exemple). La plupart des utilisateurs ne verront pas d'inconv\u00e9nient \u00e0 ce que le mod\u00e8le de 32 Go soit la seule option disponible puisque le stockage adoptable est accessible - mais il aurait \u00e9t\u00e9 bon que HTC donne aux clients la possibilit\u00e9 de se passer compl\u00e8tement de l'emplacement pour carte microSD.<\/p>\n En outre, HTC dispose d'un emplacement pour carte SIM et d'un emplacement pour carte microSD. La premi\u00e8re fois que j'ai ins\u00e9r\u00e9 une carte SIM dans l'appareil, j'ai d\u00fb me demander quel \u00e9tait l'emplacement du HTC 10. Ce n'est pas n\u00e9cessairement une bonne chose pour les consommateurs, \u00e9tant donn\u00e9 que certains d'entre eux peuvent \u00eatre d'anciens clients de Samsung. Les smartphones actuels de Samsung (Galaxy S7, Galaxy S7 edge, Galaxy S7 Active, Galaxy Note 7) disposent d'un seul emplacement pour la carte SIM et la carte microSD, et les deux emplacements de HTC semblent d\u00e9pass\u00e9s par rapport \u00e0 ses rivaux de 2016.<\/p>\n Pour de nombreux consommateurs, les appareils photo constituent souvent la meilleure partie de l'exp\u00e9rience du smartphone, mais les appareils photo, comme les t\u00e9l\u00e9phones, ne sont pas tous \u00e9gaux. J'ai pass\u00e9 un peu de temps \u00e0 prendre le HTC 10 avec son appareil photo arri\u00e8re de 12MP et son ouverture f\/1.8 dans la nature et \u00e0 le comparer \u00e0 l'appareil photo d'un flagship concurrent. Les r\u00e9sultats sont que le HTC 10 a des couleurs vibrantes, avec des \"verts\" vraiment verts, mais souffre de surexposition et d'un voile autour de ses photos qui semble appara\u00eetre sur chaque photo.<\/p>\n J'ai fait une petite s\u00e9ance photo entre le HTC 10 et le Galaxy S7 Active (qui a le m\u00eame autofocus \u00e0 d\u00e9tection de phase 12MP Dual Pixel que les Galaxy S7, Galaxy S7 edge et Galaxy Note 7 ainsi qu'une ouverture f\/1.7). Dans certaines photos o\u00f9 le Galaxy S7 Active offrait de l'ombre et des verts \"froids\" qui souffraient au niveau des couleurs lorsqu'ils \u00e9taient \u00e0 l'ombre, le HTC 10 montrait toujours des \"verts\" vibrants et vivants. Pourtant, l'appareil photo 12MP du Galaxy S7 Active cr\u00e9e des photos vivantes, ce qui n'est pas le cas de la photo d'une feuille rouge sur l'herbe prise par le HTC 10. La photo du HTC 10 \u00e0 gauche ci-dessus semble vivante au moment o\u00f9 elle a \u00e9t\u00e9 prise, mais la photo du Galaxy S7 Active de la m\u00eame feuille rouge donne l'impression que je suis toujours \u00e0 l'ext\u00e9rieur, vivant au moment m\u00eame o\u00f9 la photo a \u00e9t\u00e9 prise.<\/p>\n Dans une autre photo concernant l'\u00e9corce des arbres, la photo du HTC 10 a le genre de saturation que l'on attend des photos au soleil. Le Galaxy S7 Active, en revanche, montre de l'herbe et des buissons un peu plus froids, mais a tendance \u00e0 montrer l'\u00e9corce des arbres, par exemple, en d\u00e9tail (on peut zoomer dessus sans voir imm\u00e9diatement du bruit, contrairement \u00e0 la photo du HTC 10). Le HTC 10 n'offre pas le m\u00eame niveau de d\u00e9tail : il ne faut pas longtemps pour zoomer et ne voir qu'un flou de couleur. Vous pouvez voir la qualit\u00e9 du zoom dans la deuxi\u00e8me s\u00e9rie de photos d'\u00e9corces d'arbres ci-dessus.<\/p>\n Le HTC 10 a eu du mal \u00e0 faire la mise au point automatique, et il a fallu appuyer manuellement sur l'\u00e9cran pour faire la mise au point de l'objectif et prendre la photo. En prenant des photos sans utiliser la fonction de mise au point automatique manuelle, on obtenait des photos qui capturaient les feuilles mais laissaient des fleurs \"floues\". En revanche, l'appareil photo 12 Mpx du S7 Active n'a pas eu besoin de mes comp\u00e9tences en mati\u00e8re d'autofocus manuel pour produire une belle photo. Les fleurs ont \u00e9t\u00e9 bien travaill\u00e9es et les arri\u00e8re-plans ont b\u00e9n\u00e9fici\u00e9 de ce \"bokeh\" sexy dont les photographes professionnels ne se lassent jamais.<\/p>\n D'autres photos que vous pouvez voir ci-dessous montrent les diff\u00e9rences entre les prises de vue du HTC 10 et du Galaxy S7 Active. En fin de compte, les photos de Samsung sont suffisamment bonnes en l'\u00e9tat, avec une exposition pr\u00e9cise la plupart du temps. Le HTC 10, m\u00eame avec des couleurs vibrantes, a du mal avec l'exposition. Il se peut que l'objectif de l'appareil photo arri\u00e8re soit trop sensible aux traces de doigts et que les taches affectent les photos (comme ce fut le cas pour certaines de mes photos pendant la dur\u00e9e d'utilisation g\u00e9n\u00e9rale), mais le \"voile\" sur les photos est tout simplement trop courant dans les photos du HTC 10 pour qu'il s'agisse d'un simple probl\u00e8me. Il semble que la plupart des photos prises \u00e0 l'ext\u00e9rieur soient trop surexpos\u00e9es avec le HTC 10, alors que les photos du Samsung S7 Active offrent un \u00e9quilibre entre la lumi\u00e8re du soleil et l'ombre qui donne vie aux moments.<\/p>\n Au final, je donne la palme de l'appareil photo au Samsung Galaxy S7 Active et \u00e0 l'ensemble de la s\u00e9rie S7 et du Galaxy Note 7.<\/p>\n Note : Apr\u00e8s avoir r\u00e9dig\u00e9 cette section, j'ai fait quelques recherches et j'ai d\u00e9couvert deux choses : 1) qu'une critique d'une publication bien connue j'ai eu le m\u00eame probl\u00e8me avec les photos du HTC 10<\/a>et 2) que Le HTC 10 pr\u00e9sente un probl\u00e8me de reflet de lentille<\/a> en raison de l'absence d'une protection ol\u00e9ophobe de l'objectif de l'appareil photo (ol\u00e9ophobe signifie qu'il est r\u00e9sistant aux empreintes digitales). Comme je l'ai dit plus haut, les traces d'empreintes digitales affectent \u00e9galement la qualit\u00e9 des photos prises avec le HTC 10.<\/p>\n Vous pouvez consulter les performances de l'appareil photo du HTC 10 ci-dessous.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Battery life on the HTC 10 has been good, though I wouldn’t call it great like I would the battery life of the Galaxy S7 Active, for example. And yet, I’ve often gotten 7-9 hours of screen-on time and about 26 hours of battery life (on average). In the most heavy usage times, I’ve been able to get about 15-17 hours of battery life and about 7 hours of screen-on time (SOT). Since I’m one to use my smartphone all the time, these stats are good (and at times, quite exceptional), but the OnePlus 3 can also achieve the same stats with its 3,000mAh battery \u2013 so the HTC 10 battery life isn’t all that exceptional. Additionally, the 9-hour SOT scores below were consistent at first, then the average battery life dropped to 7 hours SOT. With that said, keep in mind that every phone has a honeymoon battery phase; 4 months in, though, I can tell you that the honeymoon phase doesn’t last too long with the HTC 10, however.<\/p>\n It will suffice for what you need if you’re on your phone all day, provided that you’re not using Bluetooth much or too reliant on cellular data. The battery stats provided below used airplane mode and WiFi calling and texting because of a mysterious “voice roaming” message that would pop up and live in my notification shade each time I’d disable airplane mode and let my cellular data co-exist with WiFi. I discovered that enabling airplane mode put an end to the voice roaming messages.<\/p>\n To read the battery stats below, keep in mind that every 3 or 4 screenshots (read from left to right) mark a new battery charge.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n After all the discussion of the HTC 10’s internals and the goodies you get with the device, it’s time to examine what’s to like and what’s not to like.<\/p>\n Since the HTC 10 is a high-end Android flagship, it must be compared to other available flagships such as the LG G5, Samsung Galaxy S7, Galaxy S7 edge, and Galaxy S7 Active. The pros and cons below are based on how the device stacks up against its currently available competitors, though I realize that other devices such as the LG V20 with its 32-bit Quad DAC Hi-Fi sound may come along and challenge the HTC 10’s 24-bit HiFi sound.<\/p>\n The HTC 10 has a front-facing fingerprint sensor that is a departure from the back-mounted fingerprint sensor days of the HTC One M7, for example. I for one am thankful that the company has ditched fingerprint readers\/sensors on the back of the device because I see little usefulness for anything much to sit on the back of the device. Back-mounted fingerprint sensors send the message that consumers will have their devices in hand all the time, but that just isn’t true. HTC bakes a fingerprint sensor in the front panel, and the location is the exact place where most individuals feel comfortable placing their finger.<\/p>\n I also have to say that the HTC 10 has good audio. Some tech reviewers call it excellent, but I wouldn’t go that far. The audio sound is better than all HTC’s rivals are offering at the moment, so you won’t need to turn your phone upside down or make sure the speakers are facing you so as to get a decent quality sound. The HTC 10’s audio doesn’t sound like its reverberating in your ear or that the recording took place miles away; instead, it sounds as though the recording is being done live, as you listen to the music. Skype conversations, Google Play Music, and even YouTube videos sound good on the HTC 10, so audio is perhaps one of the 10’s better-performing departments.<\/p>\n Adoptable Storage with Android 6.0 Marshmallow is another win for HTC. There are a number of high-end Android OEMs like LG and Samsung that aren’t doing Adoptable Storage for their handsets, so HTC’s decision to include it here is an extra choice that HTC 10 users get as opposed to those who buy from the other 2 OEMs just mentioned. Adoptable Storage lets you take a 256GB microSD card and add it to your 32GB of internal storage (for a total of 288GB of internal formatted storage). You won’t run out of storage or need another microSD card with Adoptable Storage. There are downsides as I mentioned above, but some view the good as outweighing the bad and will appreciate this stand-out feature in the HTC 10 when deciding which Android smartphone is worth their money.<\/p>\n The device itself is comprised of majority metal with some plastic strip on the top, for example, and the antenna bands that run across the back of the device, and some appreciate metal build quality. The 10 is definitely thinner and lighter than my memories of the HTC One M7 and One M8, which has made it a great device to use over the last 4 months. It’s not a fingerprint magnet as has been said of Samsung’s Galaxy S7 series and the Galaxy Note 7, but the HTC 10 still keeps fingerprints more than I’d like it to. I still find my greasy, sweaty palms leaving fingerprint smudges on the back of this metal device \u2013 and I still have to wipe the back of the device off from time to time. Just keep this in mind if you intend to pick up the HTC 10 later this year.<\/p>\n Splash resistance is another win for the HTC 10, seeing that the 10’s IP53 certification is something that One M9 users (and earlier) did not get. Every device needs some form of water resistance because no one can predict with 100% accuracy and 100% certainty that they’ll never drop their device in a water puddle or have water spill all over their device at a restaurant (or get drowned with the rain while out in bad weather). Life’s situations and circumstances are uncertain, and, to that end, mandate a device that is just as life-proof as it is well-built.<\/p>\n Finally, HTC’s Theme Store is a welcome addition for those who want to personalize their devices even further. Verizon has HTC theme support, unlike LG theme support \u2013 which is virtually a pipe dream at Big Red. If Verizon customers want to theme their device and they’re considering LG or HTC, HTC is the most likely bet outside of Samsung’s S7 series. In addition to all this, the build quality is unparalleled. HTC 10 users will not be afraid to pull out their phone and flaunt it for all to see, that’s for sure.<\/p>\n There are a few things to really like about the HTC 10, but there are things to dislike. Until one examines the criticisms, he or she can never know how strong the strengths really are.<\/p>\n First on the list of drawbacks or things not to like is the lack of an AMOLED panel. Although IPS LCD panels are cheap to buy and cost a dime a dozen (not literally, mind you), AMOLED panels offer the deepest, darkest blacks and most vibrant colors your eyes can see. They’re a bit saturated in nature and some don’t want such saturation, but I for one welcome it. I think that if any OEM wants me to keep its device in my hands for a long time, then the device should have a screen with the most lifelike colors.<\/p>\n AMOLEDs are far superior to LCDs, but I have a feeling that HTC wanted to cut cost and opted for an IPS LCD over the AMOLED panels the company uses for its One A9 smartphone. Why HTC did this I’ll never know, but it seems obvious to me that when a company uses AMOLED on one phone and then switches back to LCD for a later generation, money is key.<\/p>\n Speaking of the display, HTC is shooting itself in the foot through its lack of transparency about the Gorilla Glass generation it’s providing for consumers. Some consumers have Gorilla Glass 4 in the One M9 while some had GG3, and HTC never clarified what it did in production. The same can be said for the HTC 10, seeing that the Taiwanese phone maker never clarifies whether it’s “Gorilla Glass 3” or “Gorilla Glass 4” on its website.<\/p>\n Some say that it’s safe to bet on GG3, but I’m not sure this is the case at all: for all we know, HTC could be using GG1 or GG2 instead of GG3 or GG4, and could simply do what it wants by remaining silent. The problem with this is that, for $700, consumers want a durable glass that doesn’t shatter as easily as previous generations. HTC’s silence on the subject shows that, while the company doesn’t want to be accused of false advertising, it can be accused of not caring about customers enough to give them the best.<\/p>\n No consumer gives $700 to an OEM to get shortchanged on the device’s durability. LG, Samsung, Motorola, Sony, and other OEMs can be open and transparent about the GG generation they’re using; why can’t HTC? If HTC can’t be open about this, what else is HTC hiding? Why should you buy a device from a company that remains quiet so as to continue giving you an inferior durability and inferior display \u2013 all while charging you $700 for what you think is the latest-generation display? If you pay the latest-generation price, you should have the latest-generation tech. HTC can’t expect to scam consumers under the radar like this and then expect its devices to sell well.<\/p>\n The HTC 10 has 32GB of minimum storage which is fine for most consumers, but a 64GB option would have been nice. After all, it’s normal for US customers to feel cheated when they only get 32GB while other worldwide consumers get their choice of 32GB or 64GB. Sony has sent the impression that it doesn’t care about the US (which explains why few Americans will even touch the new Xperia X series or the old Xperia Z series), and HTC can’t afford to ignore the American market when it’s one of the largest markets worldwide for HTC rivals Apple and Samsung.<\/p>\n It doesn’t take away from the experience for most, but it’s somewhat disappointing to see 3 colors of the HTC 10 unveiled but only get to choose the Gunmetal Gray offering. It’s not a bad option, but we wish HTC would’ve had the Camellia Red option (once exclusive to Japan) available at launch for worldwide customers. Customers who ordered the Gunmetal Gray because no other color option was available now have to live with the gray \u2013 when they could’ve gotten the red model.<\/p>\n OEMs have so many months to prepare for their high-end flagship announcements, and we expect HTC to get things together in 2017 with regard to color options. The more options you give consumers at launch, the more they’ll return to buy your handset, year after year. There shouldn’t be an issue with delayed color options because OEMs have 12 months before the next flagship’s release to straighten this all out. If HTC were launching multiple flagship phones a year, like Samsung, then we could give a break here. With the company launching less than 25% of the phones Samsung launches annually, there’s simply no excuse for delayed color options.<\/p>\n The HTC 10 front camera is 5MP and utilizes Samsung’s S5K4E6 camera sensor but comes with optical image stabilization (or OIS). The front camera OIS on the HTC 10 is the first front-facing smartphone camera to incorporate OIS for the front camera, and it appears to do a nice job. The 12MP back camera takes expected photos, though HTC has made great strides in improving its back camera from the 20MP sensor found in last year’s One M9. The one drawback to the HTC 10 back camera is that the back camera lens gets too glossy, too quickly.<\/p>\n I’ve purchased a lot of phones this year and am always touching the backs of phones where the cameras are located, but the HTC 10 has the most fingerprint-sensitive back camera of all the high-end Android smartphones I’ve picked up this year (that includes the Galaxy S7 edge, Galaxy S7 Active, LG G5, Galaxy Note 7, and OnePlus 3).<\/p>\n The end result of the fingerprint sensitivity is that photos reflect that “smudginess,” taking away from the overall moment. HTC needs to have something of an oleophobic-resistant coating on the back camera lens to prevent that from being an issue with consumers.<\/p>\n Battery life has been standard on the HTC 10, with the 10 giving less battery life than the Galaxy S7 edge with its 3,600mAh battery. HTC upped the battery capacity from 2,840mAh on the One M9 to just 3,000mAh this year \u2013 which is only a slight battery bump of 160mAh. Now, the HTC 10 battery capacity is greater than that of the LG G5’s 2,800mAh, but the 10 still needs some work when compared to the 3,600mAh battery of the Galaxy S7 edge, for example. The S7 edge has the potential to provide 36 hours of battery life; the HTC 10 will hardly ever get you there. You may get 30 hours max if you’re lucky (and you’ll have to cut some corners to get there). On this latest charge, the battery pulled out to 27 hours before cutting off. You may get more if you’re not a moderate to heavy user as I am (in tech, I live on mobile).<\/p>\n Customers can never get enough battery, but the 3,000mAh battery is only enough to get you through the day, if at that. In my own use, I only got about 17-18 hours (max) out of the device, with 15 hours of battery life and 7 hours of screen-on time (SOT) consistently in repeat battery stats. The HTC 10’s battery capacity is slightly larger than that of the iPhone 7 Plus, so 15 hours of WiFi browsing for the iPhone 7 Plus matches what I got from the HTC 10 on a regular basis. This is okay, but not enough for high-end smartphones in 2016.<\/p>\n HTC fails in another area as well when it comes to battery: there are no HTC battery modes to help, save for the extreme mode that disables nearly everything. Samsung has revamped its Power Saving Mode in the Galaxy Note 7 to give you the option to scale down the resolution to save battery life. You won’t get that here with the HTC 10, so good luck conserving your battery on your own. The 10 doesn’t provide in-built wireless charging either for flexibility. While wireless charging still relies on a stationary cable connected to a charging pad, it’s a safer way to charge your device and maintain a healthy battery while not forcing you to connect your phone directly into the wall and “shock charge” it all the time.<\/p>\n I want to say this here: battery life is not terrible (it’s anything but that), but HTC could’ve done more to bring a compelling battery performance \u2013 such as giving a larger battery. The company simply did little to add more battery life here, with the exception of the USB Type-C charging capabilities and QuickCharge 3.0 via Qualcomm that don’t quite do the job.<\/p>\n The 3,000mAh battery takes 90 minutes to charge via the USB-C cable, which is still 9 minutes behind Samsung’s Galaxy Note 5 (81 minutes, from 2015; it doesn’t have USB-C but micro-USB instead) and 17 minutes behind OnePlus’s OnePlus 3 from 2016 (3,000mAh battery with USB-C charging that only takes 73 minutes to charge). To make matters worse, the 3,000mAh OnePlus 3 lasts 22-24 hours consistently, which poses problems for the HTC 10 because it didn’t. 15-17 hours on the HTC 10 was the stamina extent, so the OnePlus 3 (that retails for $399.99; yes, you’re reading the price right!) outperforms the HTC 10 in battery life.<\/p>\n All this is to say that battery life is sufficient for some, but moderate to heavy users will still need to plug the phone in by day’s end (if not earlier). HTC needs to go beyond adding a mere 160mAh extra to the battery in 2017. A 3300mAh or 3400mAh battery would be nice. I’d rather have seen the addition of a much larger battery and the addition of wireless charging capabilities than the additional chamfered edges all around the HTC 10’s body. Wireless charging is not possible with a metal unibody design, though, which would’ve meant that HTC needed to make something that wasn’t so “metallic.” Again, though, HTC cut corners in order to save on costs, all while charging $700 and making more money from this phone that seems all too familiar to the One M9, One M8, and One M7.<\/p>\n Splash resistance has been viewed as a win here to give consumers some form of water protection, but it simply doesn’t stack up against Samsung and Apple when both top brands have employed water and dust resistance (not splash resistance) in their 2016 smartphone lineup. Apple’s iPhone 7 has it, thanks to Samsung’s Galaxy S7, S7 edge, and Note 7.<\/p>\n Splash resistance is still a vague term because in most situations, your phone still won’t be able to stand water. How many splashes does it take before your phone dies? How large or small the splash that can kill the HTC 10? The device itself is Ingress Protection (or IP) certified, but IP53 refers to the lightest of splashes, small splashes of water (usually water dots), but nothing like a submersion or huge water flood of any sort. In other words, don’t drop the HTC 10 in the sink while washing dishes, or accidentally leave it in your favorite pair of jeans that just so happen to get washed on the weekend.<\/p>\n The Galaxy S7, Galaxy S7 edge, Galaxy S7 Active, and Galaxy Note 7 are all IP68-certified for dustproofing and strong water resistance (though not waterproof); the iPhone 7 is also strongly dust-resistant but not as water-resistant as the Samsung S7 series (it bears a “7” rating to Samsung’s “8” for waterproofing). The iPhone 7, Galaxy S7 series, and Galaxy Note 7 are all water-resistant<\/em>, but the HTC 10 is splash-resistant<\/em>. Splashes and water submersions are not synonymous, which means that the 10 has very little water protection at all.<\/p>\n Now, to be fair to HTC, the company does provide an Uh-Oh Protection Plan that lets you exchange your device twice in a year, even in cases of water damage, but consumers shouldn’t have to exchange their devices because they lack waterproofing. Providing water damage replacement on a phone that should have water protection built in is nothing more than putting a band-aid on a wound instead of preventing the wound from occurring in the first place. If the wound can be prevented, then there’s no need for a band-aid; similarly, if water protection can prevent water damage on the 10 itself, then HTC’s Uh-Oh Protection would be mostly obsolete.<\/p>\n Above the IP53 certification (I think HTC should’ve gone for IP68 or at least IP67), having just splash resistance on a premium, high-end device is nothing short of a scandal. Splash resistance is just not good enough for a high-end, $700 Android device. Perhaps it’s better than none at all, but it’s just not good enough. If we were talking about the HTC Desire series, I’d still disagree, but at least splash resistance would be justified by the far lower price tag. At $700, I shouldn\u2019t have to worry about my device getting water damage when I’m paying top dollar for a top-notch phone.<\/p>\n HTC cut corners on this as well, I’m afraid, which means that consumers who pick up this phone aren’t getting the water and dust protection their devices will need to last. As with its Gorilla Glass panel, you’re paying $700 but HTC is skimping out on durability for its high-end flagship.<\/p>\n This is another interesting thought that hit me in the course of preparing this review. HTC has said that it’s betting big on VR as the wave of the future and has even released its HTC Vive that is catching developer attention. At the same time, though, the HTC Vive mandates a PC with comparable hardware and at least 6GB or 8GB of RAM to operate it, with few consumers wanting to spend $500 for the headset (the price of the HTC Vive) and then spend another $500+ to get a comparable desktop PC for it. Why not create a consumer VR headset and release it with the HTC 10?<\/p>\n Sure, Google’s Daydream VR headset is on the way and all high-end Android phones will be Daydream VR-ready, but that doesn’t excuse HTC when the company has already created a VR headset for the high-end market. With the company’s smartphone sales in decline, having a consumer VR headset would’ve been a surefire way to drum up consumer interest and get some Samsung customers to reconsider the company’s devices once again.<\/p>\n The lack of a consumer VR headset means that HTC isn’t interested in courting its customers and giving them a taste of the company’s vision. Yes, HTC also released JBL Reflect Aware headphones with its handset for pre-orders<\/a>, and even gave $100 off the retail price of the handset or $100 off accessories, but a VR headset might’ve been a better way to go for HTC. After all, if VR is the wave of the future, why not introduce your HTC 10 consumers to the future?<\/p>\n With the need to look like a rising tech company, a consumer VR headset would’ve been a wise idea \u2013 but HTC decided to go its own way and market the 10 as a phone for audiophiles. Not everyone is obsessed with audio quality. What about the VR crowd? Apparently, they’ll have to wait for the new HTC\/Google Pixel smartphones to get a taste of VR in the twenty-first century.<\/p>\n I’ve gone into great lengths to discuss HTC’s efforts in the HTC 10, as well as pros and cons that are problematic for what was to be HTC’s comeback device.<\/p>\n HTC could’ve given a definitive statement on its Gorilla Glass display, provided a free consumer VR headset, and even lowered the price of the 10 to win consumers back to the company, but it decided to go against these things entirely.<\/p>\n The HTC 10 is a device that is fluid, fast, and capable of just about anything you want to do. Unfortunately, HTC decided to remove much of its own proprietary software this year in order to win over tech geeks who are in love with basic Android apps and want a “bloat-free” experience so as to use their storage how they please. It’s never a wise decision to completely scale down the experience to take away a lot of the functionality that made your devices stand out. Plus, HTC’s proprietary software wasn’t a problem because it wasn’t slowing down the company’s devices to begin with.<\/p>\n HTC will never compete with Google when it comes to updates and functionality, but the company could’ve won back some of the old guard that turned to Samsung because HTC has become irrelevant to them. Without much functionality to distinguish between an HTC 10 and an upcoming Google Pixel device (that’ll be manufactured by HTC), what’s the point in buying a 10 when the Pixel device will have much more to offer thanks to Google aiming for functionality now over form (and retail for nearly the same price)?<\/p>\n In the final analysis, the HTC 10 has to compete with Samsung’s Galaxy S7, S7 edge, S7 Active, and Note 7, and the phone doesn’t have the muscle to do so. Samsung’s phones offer a revamped UI, best-in-class cameras, great battery life and larger battery capacities than most phones in the high-end Android market, true water and dust resistance, eye-watering AMOLED displays, alongside of additional functionality such as a new Power Saving Mode and water and dust resistance in its Galaxy Note 7, and a new Translate feature in the Note 7 that lets you translate words by just hovering the S Pen (now water-resistant, too) above the word on the screen, among other things.<\/p>\n Samsung also gives away a free Gear VR headset (worth $99), a 256GB microSD card (worth $200), or a free Gear Fit2 fitness band (worth $200) with its smartphone sales, which HTC’s incentives can’t touch. HTC is a company that wants to make money without having to compromise financially, but Samsung is having success because it knows how to court and woo consumers.<\/p>\n In the high-end Android market, as well as in life, you can’t cut corners and hope to have a great result. HTC has cut corners on the Gorilla Glass display, fast charging, splash resistance, and reduced proprietary functionality in order to gain adherents and make some quick sales, but at what cost? A lot. The cost is great.<\/p>\n This isn’t to say that the HTC 10 isn’t a good handset, because it is. And yet, for what it gives you, the $700 price tag is simply too high. Had the HTC 10 been released 4 years ago, the price tag would’ve been standard and expected. In 2016, though, with budget-friendly phones such as the OnePlus 3 offering the majority of what consumers need at half the cost, $700 is expected to carry the consumer much further than a basic “Google-licious” experience with HTC branding. Samsung’s devices are selling for $700-$800 and provide $100-$200 in incentives. Oh, did I mention that the Gear VR from Samsung comes with 6 free games out of the box?<\/p>\n The HTC 10 is a good device, and it’s better in user experience than the LG G5, but sadly, that’s not saying much. It’s like saying that someone is less criminal than the worst criminal. The HTC 10 offers one a vanilla Android experience, with a selfie and back camera, some splash resistance, USB Type-C charging, a standard battery size, and the same metal build quality for $700. If HTC worked hard to improve the camera, that’s about all HTC did to prepare the 10 for sale. If there are any other changes here worth bragging about, I’m not seeing them.<\/p>\n In short, the HTC 10 is above LG in the market but woefully under Samsung when it comes to giving you the best bang for your buck. In 2016, it’s just not acceptable to get a measly vanilla Android UI experience out of the box and charge $700 for it. Consumers want more and expect more, but it seems as though HTC didn’t get the memo.<\/p>\nProcesseur et RAM<\/strong><\/h2>\n
