The HTC 10 could be a strong smartphone contender

From ComputerWorld: The wraps finally came off the long-rumored new flagship phone from HTC Tuesday morning. The HTC 10 looks to be a strong contender in a competitive market, emphasizing build quality and the multimedia functions that have always been HTC's signature.

The HTC 10 loses its predecessors' confusing naming conventions -- no more "One A9" -- and its aping of iPhone design. This new phone is sculpted out of milled aluminum, with a solid and pleasing heft and a curved back with a chamfered angle that makes it easy to hold.

Screen size is 5.2 in. diagonal; the phone is roughly a tenth of an inch longer and wider than a Samsung Galaxy S7 and a quarter inch longer and wider than an iPhone 6S. It's heavier than other flagships: 5.7 oz. to the iPhone's 5.04 oz. and the S7's 5.4 oz.

Other than physical design, HTC makes its stand with image-stabilized cameras front and back -- an industry first -- and software that lets you adjust for the frequency response curve of your headphones and your hearing.
