+WildDanHibiki pre ordered cant wait had to resort to my 4 year old sony Ericson pro for a couple of months so I could get this but it looks worth while especially since it looks like my old m7 at the back which I loved :P
Hey its John V, I'm definitely subscribing to Android authority because of you John. I unsubscribed front phone arena when you left. Good to see you man.
+Dwane Mclaughlin He is an iPhone lover.. Praises everything apple does regardless of whether the competition does way better... Surprised he now works for android authority.. lets see how that pans out..
+Dkrro Dkro Different styles doesn't mean bad videos. It's different. You don't like the style, that's fine, it happens, but "i don't like it" is not equivalent to "this is bad". Are you a reviewers of reviewers or something? Lol, relax man.
@john c velasco u r saying htc 10 has a 3gb of ram and @josh said that it has 4gb of ram which one is ture??or htc has two different versions of 3gb & 4gb?
Dont worry john ignore the previous comments as a reviever you are great but sometimes the day is not yours anyways great work hope so you will upload best videos that this in future ;-)
Sorry but It's incredibly hard to understand what you're saying on some parts of the video. You somehow mumble some of the words together so that they become just a big mess of human voice. Like at 1:58 "coupled with thrgmnbuttsofram anddreno 530 gpu..." Now that I've listened to it five times I understand you're trying to say "coupled with three gigabytes of RAM and Adreno 530 GPU" but it still sounds like a mess. And the HTC 10 has four gigabytes of RAM, not three. So there's a factual error too in that garbled sentence.
the m9 also has front facing speakers, which is what it was mainly advertised for, I high doubt that the larger screen would be a factor if they would have kept that layout.
Subbie Wubbie I also simply don't know why they need him to review phones on UA-cam. They already have so many people to do that. I feel they should just keep John V as a writer for the site, or if they have enough of those, drop him.
@android authority pleasee i need help..!!!!!! after upgrading my HTC ONE M9 to 6.0 i've notices many problems comparing with the lastest version of the lollipop 1) battery life time ( worse ) 2) it take much longer to by fully charged 3) the phone get heated 4) and the biggest problem i've faced that the speakers became much much much lower nearly 1/4 from the 5.1.1 can i downgrade safly ?? or shoud i wait to the next update to fix the bugs ?? or should i go for another solutions.. ?? please help.. !!!
Bro. ik you guys saying that the video sucks but this is his first time doing a video for Android Authority. One thing I didn't like was the ending of the video it was totally off. It's supposed to have that Andriod Authority Ending to it?
I don't like the huge gap between the bottom edge of the screen to the fingerprint sensor. Either make the screen larger or put the sensor in the middle so it has even gap.
The ONLY thing that was wrong with the M9 was the camera, and that has since been fixed with updates. The M9 was and is a phenomenal phone. it's fast, reliable, exploratory, has expandable memory, has duel front facing speakers (the 10 does not). so when folks say the M9 was a failure, what they actually mean is the camera was a failure not the phone itself. There is more to a phone then just the camera, a lot more.
Shawn_Carlos ikr! i mean, everybody was riding to htc one m9 hate bandwagon just for the reason of overheating and crap camera which later fixed by recent updates... People this days just hating on things that they never owned, watched or experienced.
Interesting... Android Authority has had this phone since the end of January, and is only now putting out reviews. Anyone else notice that? Just look at the date on the phone in some of the shots.
wonder why no one points out that there is wiring on both ends instead of all on one side. I don't want cables coming out of both sides of my phone when I am driving. or plugged into my boombox at work and picking up my device to change a song, answer a call or text. People review the button layout but not the connections ? Buttons can be memorized in a few days. wires cannot be relocated.
+selwyn gonzales Adoptable storage is meant for low-end devices that have 8-16 gigabytes of slow internal flash memory. Even the fastest microSD cards are over five times slower than the internal storage in modern high-end phones, so using adoptable storage to expand the internal storage would make your high-end phone extremely slow at loading apps for example. It's a lot better to just keep the apps on internal storage and use an SD card for photos and videos.
Ryan Origin No. Are you? Do you even know what adoptable storage means? I stated facts about micro SD transfer speeds compared to internal storage of high-end smartphones. The fastest micro SD cards provide 90-100MB/s sequential read speeds. Internal storage of current high-end smartphones (UFS 2.0) provides 400-500MB/s sequential read speeds. Do you want to wait 3 seconds for your app to load from the SD card, or do you want it to launch almost instantaneously from the internal storage? Because that's exactly what happens if you enable adoptable storage on a high-end smartphone. Then you'll complain how slowly everything loads and that it's the phone maker's fault.
Speaking as an independent non HTC user this is the best phone HTC have ever made, it is beautifully made. But a flagship should have wireless charging and as Qualcomm have the technology to allow it on full metal phones it should have been there even if it added $50 or $100 to the price. Flagship buyers don't worry about an extra few bucks. It would have made this phone a bigger success.
Gee-aaahhn Vee is epic. Why would he change the signature? Sure at first we hate the way he pronounce his name, but after a while it's his self brand! You are famous for being John V. why change?? whyyyy??
The back looks very nice but they made the front look like any other phone out there. They should have kept the look of the front from the M9 minus the htc logo.
This device looks DOPE! I think it's the best looking Android device on the market at the moment and it has killer specs! I hope this device does well. Near stock Android as well :D
Looks like the Samsung Galaxy S7 and HTC 10 are the frontrunners of 2016 Android flagships so far. Maybe next year, LG. Gimmicks don't necessarily make a phone better. It helps it stand out, but doesn't really improve it.
Much better looking than the LG G5 IMO.
LOL you right.
True
just about everything is
+Farah Esse lol true dat
also will feel much better in the hand. as always
how can u do a video comparing the 10 & m9 without bringing up the boomsound speakers??
Damn HTC is coming out guns blazing this year. I think you've won the right to take my money HTC.
*guns
yes
Technically they came out FUNDS blazing, imagine all the money they spent designing that cool phone! :D

Hey its John V, I'm definitely subscribing to Android authority because of you John. I unsubscribed front phone arena when you left. Good to see you man.
Marky Marc nah
+Marky Marc Not really. I dont think that he is bad
me too
+Dwane Mclaughlin He is an iPhone lover.. Praises everything apple does regardless of whether the competition does way better... Surprised he now works for android authority.. lets see how that pans out..
Brayant25 well I know that for sure
so the boss said make a video as quick as posiible
+baizid ahmed zidan they all did it Marques included. They've had the device for a little while
+gothamtyler lol, yeah but marques is in whole another level
+sergio devier Seriously Android Authority is just as credible dumbest response ever
+baizid ahmed zidan so the video quality is bad and bad editing

Woah I thought this was a PhoneArena video when I saw it in my feed. Keep up the good work, John.
the background music is very loud and annoying
just dont rush to make the video fast improve the quality
Hey Joooohn V, nice to see you here.
+Ameya Padhye Thanks man!
+John Velasco did you leave phone arena? What happened?
Anthony Gonzalez Yeah he twitted about that a while back
The back comparison at 2:22 just shows how symmetrically beautiful the HTC 10 looks.
@Android Authority, HTC 10 vs Nexus 6P video please
It's in the works 😉
+Android Authority Thanks! :)
+Android Authority sweet. I'll definitely watch that video being that I have a 6p....
+Nathan Nesen It is good ? m9
yes please!
I'm actually confused should I get the new HTC 10 or 6 months old Nexus 6P
I started this video and after hearing the voice I thought I mistakenly played Phonearena Video
The same thing happened to me 😂😂
LOL me too
better channel, better name, better phone, good stuff...welcome sirs
So John V works for Android Authority now?
Yup.
He got fired from phone arena for giving the creepy look
Theblueseaweed ahaha funny....
Are you still using Power Director for your editing ?noticed some cool transitions I haven't seen before....
OMG it's John.V from phone arena....!!!!did you move over to AA?if so, about time.i only watched your reviews on there so now this is AWESOME!!!
So theres no stock htc music app? Meaning theres no FLAC file support?? (And also is there IR blaster?)
The music sounds like something from a video game from the 90's. 😐
lol
@john c velasco u r saying htc 10 has a 3gb of ram and @josh said that it has 4gb of ram which one is ture??or htc has two different versions of 3gb & 4gb?
Dont worry john ignore the previous comments as a reviever you are great but sometimes the day is not yours
anyways great work hope so you will upload best videos that this in future ;-)
RIP:"John V. here from Phonearena"; hello "John Velasco here from Android Authority"

And the HTC 10 has four gigabytes of RAM, not three. So there's a factual error too in that garbled sentence.
John v is not with phone area anymore?
Why did you switch from phone arena to Android Authority?
The HTC 10 has impressed me, seems to have fixed most of the issues I had with the M9.
the m9 also has front facing speakers, which is what it was mainly advertised for, I high doubt that the larger screen would be a factor if they would have kept that layout.
820 is quad core?
John V? Good to see you here!
+aswanism Thanks man
at 01:59 you said 3GB or RAM isn't it 4gb for HTC 10.
What other device does the 10 remind you of?? It gives me such déjà vu and I just can't place it
An m9.
I thought I was watching PhoneArena for a moment, but knew I had unsubscribed. Please fire this man Android Authority, please.
why? he's doing a great job, so stop hating and leave.
lmao I thought the same xD I was like wtf I'm sure I saw Android Authority as the channel name, where tf did he come from 😂
Subbie Wubbie I also simply don't know why they need him to review phones on UA-cam. They already have so many people to do that. I feel they should just keep John V as a writer for the site, or if they have enough of those, drop him.
Couldn't agree more xD
john v in android authority?? he is from phonearena right?
hi guys,John V from phonearena,oh wait..
since when did he become part of the staff
the return of HTC 👏
Said no one ever
3gb RAM?
Lol I noticed that too
actually 4 I think. specs are on website. the Qualcomm Snapdragon 240/420 ( I don't remember the model number) is the processor.
+Nathaniel Ramos it's Snapdragon 820 (骁龙820).
+Nathaniel Ramos 420 blaze it dawg! (it's SD 820 btw)
It's a Snapdragon 820 and 4 Gigs of ram...the amount of errors these hands on guys make is surprising x.x
@john from phonearena??
@android authority
pleasee i need help..!!!!!!
after upgrading my HTC ONE M9 to 6.0 i've notices many problems
comparing with the lastest version of the lollipop
1) battery life time ( worse )
2) it take much longer to by fully charged
3) the phone get heated
4) and the biggest problem i've faced that the speakers became much much much lower nearly 1/4 from the 5.1.1
can i downgrade safly ??
or shoud i wait to the next update to fix the bugs ??
or should i go for another solutions.. ??
please help.. !!!
UA-cam hasn't been the same since John dropped his signature intro.....
All-in-all a good review. Not so excited about the phone, however.
I love the look and the feel of the HTC sense.
I quite like the Sense UI. It looks very mature and beautiful. Plus it's very smooth too!
Bro. ik you guys saying that the video sucks but this is his first time doing a video for Android Authority. One thing I didn't like was the ending of the video it was totally off. It's supposed to have that Andriod Authority Ending to it?
Can you compare it to the Moto X
+SpungeBawb are u for real...?
4GB of ram not 3
I know right!
+HeroPlane in some markets it is 3
Is there a micro SD card slot on the10?
+killaclownz911 yes
I don't like the huge gap between the bottom edge of the screen to the fingerprint sensor. Either make the screen larger or put the sensor in the middle so it has even gap.
presure sensitive display?
Make sure you have loads of giveaways involving this sexy beast aka The HTC 10
John V from Fonearena?
Woh John V what happened to Phone Arena?
John C from Android Authority or John V from PhoneArena ? So similiar ! Or are you both brothers ? :O
Yes....because brothers have the same first name, but different last names.....👌🏾
Great video. I definitely think the 10 is a great upgrade from the M9. The M9 was a yawn because it was basically an M8 with minimal upgrades.
Wow his voice is hard to listen to.
he's like Steve O
The ONLY thing that was wrong with the M9 was the camera, and that has since been fixed with updates. The M9 was and is a phenomenal phone. it's fast, reliable, exploratory, has expandable memory, has duel front facing speakers (the 10 does not). so when folks say the M9 was a failure, what they actually mean is the camera was a failure not the phone itself.

Shawn_Carlos ikr! i mean, everybody was riding to htc one m9 hate bandwagon just for the reason of overheating and crap camera which later fixed by recent updates... People this days just hating on things that they never owned, watched or experienced.
Shawn_Carlos But the M9 foes have borderline terrible battery life. The 10 is much better.
John V moved from Phonearena to AA. Good move.
i wonder y 12mp is the magic number this year for flagships
okay.. but is it waterproof? 😮
No phoneArena anymore?
Nice to see htc moving in the right direction. Will be looking forward to the htc nexus!!!!
If a 5.5in version comes out, I might be sold. Really tempted to get a silver s7 edge though, especially since I'm in rivers a lot
What's up with the "hey guys this is Johnnnnn V..." ? Is it copyrighted from Phonearena is that why you can't say it no more?
Shut up you black Puerto Rican.
With Michael Fisher gone from pocket now, John V joining Android Authority alongside Josh, they may have the strongest review team
+rsup007 It's called the dream team ;)
+John Velasco It definitely is :-D
Interesting... Android Authority has had this phone since the end of January, and is only now putting out reviews. Anyone else notice that? Just look at the date on the phone in some of the shots.
it's a default date from the phone.

Kepe 32gb not enough. 64gb not enough.
need more gigabait.
HTC 10 vs s7 and g5???
Bro left phonearena??
Why did HTC not use an amoled panel ;.;
4gb of ram btw he said 3gb
their is 3 versions of the Htc 10 , only one of them is 4 Gb ram
+Unstoppable but this isn't a review.

Why is no one mentioning the speakers, seriously, no one has talked about them or the differences between the two phones...!
can u tell me best antivirus. for android
What does flagship mean
A phone that companies consider as their best or top of the line product/offering.
can u do one with htc one m9 plus and htc 10
I'm wondering if you have a speech impediment? You are missing letters in your words and garbling them.
Why do they have to put the front hoc logo? Makes e button assymterical
????? where's the front HTC logo
+FAABBBBYY just realized too but when I saw the leaks they had the htc logo on the top of the button that's why it isn't in the center
no front facing speakers come on htc, all nexus devices have them with without that bar you should have been able to do that as well.
Gee-aaahhn Vee is epic. Why would he change the signature? Sure at first we hate the way he pronounce his name, but after a while it's his self brand! You are famous for being John V. why change?? whyyyy??

Sorry but the galaxy s7 edge takes that title.
Jony polo Not really. The Edge thing is too gimmicky, the device is too big and I'm not a fan of the design. Fingerprints everywhere.
dark grey looks gorgeous
😍😍😍😍😍
John V ?
did he forget to mention boom sound???????? And it does have boom sound for anyone who didnt know. the ear speaker is there.
You are hard to understand. You need slow down when you speak.
HTC One M9, Moto x pure or Samsung Galaxy S6 help
hmm john v from phone arena
+alexander ekin yes. Yes it is.
Oh and I'd say 5.2 inches is the sweet spot for screen size
i would say 5,2 also
+Talon Faust 4.3 > 4 > 4.7 > 5.0. anything else is too big.
+MOM No, for YOU its too big.
why you didn't compare the sound speakers! common
Compare this with the S7, G5 and the Huawei p9.. THAT WOULD BE DAMN F***ING AWESOME
john v from phonearena to john velassco from android authority
I wonder if they'll make an HTC One M10 Plus
Hey guys its John Veeee from Phone Are... sorry Android Authority lol
oh yeah john v in the house....👍
What's up with that music?
M9 for me because of the front facing speakers, I will buy HTC again once they bring back the front facing speakers.
some one do a audio test please want to hear difference m9 vs htc10
John V finally got tired of being at phone arena 😭😭😂
did not mentioned anything about the speakers. not surprised there...
I'm glad they got rid of the onscreen buttons!
Oh no its the "Its John V hereee" FAVORS iPhone in every single comparison guy....
+lilmario0 Where's the iPhone?
I am a galaxy s7 edge user and I have to admit this phone looks really nice.
sorry but i think s7 edge is the most beautiful phone out there still.
+MrOnlyforcommenting he means that htc 10 also looks good
***** u gotta be kidding me
