+DuxDub Studios I know I'm not the poster but I'm so excited I have to tell you about it! have it for 3 months. it's very fast, no slowdown at all. Sound is great! plug in some headphones, you'll be impressed. Build quality is very solid, the back has a smooth curve that flows into the chamfers. It's a really great phone
Same here :D As a former Galaxy S7E user, I have to say that I'm quite impressed with the HTC 10, especially the audio quality! Of course, there are shortcomings that I wish HTC would have done differently, overall I'm happy to use the HTC 10, and recommend it to anyone who's looking for a good Android smartphone :)
+Minh Pham with HTC the sum of its parts is greater than its whole. Samsung has a great phone but their features are more flashy and attention getting. The 10 is extremely optimized for the chip and software. The sound is great and it has adoptable storage which is pretty handy. These features don't bring as much attention as Samsung. it's more subtle. it feels like they took great features from both Apple and Android.
Fun fact: The HTC 10 supports adoptable storage. So you can throw in a 32GB SD card coupled with the 32 on board to get a total of 64GB. I don't usually ask for thumbs up but it'd be nice if we showed this info to people reading the comments.
+Harsh Vardhan (Vality) I hate phones like that. my first Android phone had the same situation , and I only have 4 gigs of available on board storage after the os
When I watch tech reviews, the videos are usually the reviewer inside his studio talking about how this phone is better than the other. Blah blah blah. But this dude? Man! Just look at the quality and the work he has put into it. I mean the rest of the videos have half as much as effort put into them! The quality your output Michael? I feel your effort. I feel like this is your job. I feel happy when I watch your videos. And believe me, this I never got with the other reviewers. Hats off to you! 😊
HTC would sell a lot more phones if they would actually get the 10 into stores to be sold... Haven't seen it anywhere. Meanwhile, best buy has the s7, the g5, the moto z, and even the note 7. Hell they had the note 7 in stores before it was even out, meanwhile here we are in august with no htc 10 when its been out for months already
Oh, I misread your comment, but yeah it's ridiculous how long I've had to wait for my HTC 10 to ship to a Best Buy store. The approximate time for it to ship is almost 2 weeks... 2 WEEKS.
DuxDub Studios I work in a best buy, and I can tell you samsung's marketing is definitely more prevalent then LG or motorola, but we at least have them in store to show people, which is more than can be said about the HTC. That said, a lot more people would also by the moto z if it wasn't a verizon exclusive. Myself being one of those people. I won't buy the regular moto over the axon, but I'd buy the z force. Unfortunately I have At&t, so it won't matter anyway.
+Thomas Fisher I was about to buy the Moto Z Force, but the lack of a headphone jack killed it for me. I don't like relying on an adapter for my headphone needs.
DuxDub Studios That is one thing that definitely sucks about it. I can't tell you the last time I used headhphones with my phone though, so I personally wouldn't mind as much.
Rohan Satish Not necessarily.Both are wonderful smartphones and it only comes down to your personal preference.So don't be an amateur 😂😂😂 and compare both.Both are great pieces if hardware and amongst the best of 2016
From your perspectives and reviews of each device to the filmmaking / editing of each video you've become one of my favorite mobile tech channels! In my opinion, MrMobile is every bit as good as MKBHD and the other huge tech channels, but your narration separates you from the crowd and makes your videos super entertaining. Keep up the awesomeness!!
And tonight I can sleep happy, because I know that HTC is still the best company out there, and that man is awesome for taking the plunge back into Android 👌😁
Alex Gonzalez - The 10 is a great handset, a top-notch successor to the flawed One M9, but unfortunately, a close to the amazing M-Series "Tank Flagships" as a whole... The device that replaces this, namely the "U", not "U Ultra" or "U Play", is more in line with that particular series, some of which we have already seen - only not as big... Knowing that, I'll be holding on to my 10 for as long as I possibly can, maybe into the third, or even fourth year!
You, Jaime and lanh are my favorite reviewers. Not only do yall talk specs and features, yall also talk feel and the whole experience. Your work is greatly appreciated and i wish you much success Mr.Mobile!
My reasons for buying this phone over any competitor like the Galaxy S7 for example (while coming from the Galaxy S4): 1) The back-, home- and menu-buttons are hardware and not on-screen (why should I give up that extra screen space when I got that space below the screen anyways?) 2) Expandable storage (I got a SanDisk 200GB microSDXC card full with music and movies, can't get any cheaper than that) 3) It's snapdragon-based - so CyanogenMod isn't out of the question if I get tired of HTC's Sense UI. (That's why the Galaxy S7 dropped out for me) 4) I am an audiophile and listen to a lot of music with expensive headphones so the built in processor / DAC blows my ears right off. ... and so on
GOD the editing in this video is soo F***ing GOOD!! Michael you've been missed and I'M SOO GLAD that you have returned!! Nobody can match the slick editing and absolutely fantastic content you create and provide!
just wanna say,I watched your reviews on pocket now and compared to other reviews,I like yours a whole lot more, I know I'm getting a full and honest review clear ,to the point and nicely informative,I'm looking for a new phone to upgrade from my galaxy s4 and I trust your reviews,it's hard knowing what's best to go for . any wisdom on my next phone appreciated ....Best of luck with all you do from the UK
+Team Android Canada that would be incredible. i had they m8 and loved the audio, but since its untimely destruction i have had a note 3, an s6 edge, and now a note 7. i have to say samsung phones are very very good, i just miss those m8 front facers
Michael! What a pleasant surprise to see you pop back up on TH-cam. Glad you're continuing the reviews. I really enjoy your reviewing style. Looking forward to many more reviews to come!
I love my HTC 10. I don't use a case as I prefer to showcase the beautiful build of the 10. I get asked all the time...what phone are you using? I can only smile and reply...HTC baby!!
can you re-review the Nexus 6P, please? i would like to know if its still worth buying with new nexuses just around the corner and how well its aged after one year
My HTC10 has been going SOLID for 4 freakin' months now (Super Smooth w/ No Lag AT ALL, Great BatterLife, Great Camera, GREAT HARDWARE) / Expensive? If Apple and Samsung still making their products that high in price, I'm cool with this boy's pricing!
I never knew your channel had been around so long. I was looking at your rise and fall of LG and wondered if you had an HTC video. Behold! You did one 5 years ago!
This was the first phone I've had a case for in many, MANY years. The Ice View case is great- and so useful! Loving the phone, camera and audio especially!
576356 Main reason was actually because of the metal body; and because I work in a hectic environment :P Which means it'll get marks easily, and because it's metal I noticed they 'stick' more then on plastic phones (coming from Lumia phones). So a case was a no-brainer, and the Ice View is brilliant!
+Vandrefalk same here. Using a spigen case. moved from a Lumia myself. I think Lumia users prefer the fundamentals that HTC offers. Clean efficient software, quality build and great recording.
yeah the Ice View Case is amazing and it always turns heads because it's such a unique case, I love how it has beauty and functionality with being able to use the Camera and interact with your phone without needing to lock it :)
this is the honest HTC 10 review I saw on TH-cam. I'm what you called "a die hard hTC fan" and I'm going to buy the 10, if the nexus don't live up to the hype! Huge thanks MrMobile.
Well let's put it this way (I'm an HTC 10 owner, so I'll just get that out of the way). If the HTC 10, a phone made of solid aluminum, excellent built quality with 24 bit sound DAC/AMP into it, should be $400, shouldn't the G5 be at the same price? They are charging $700 for a phone made of plastic covered with paint and primer, and an additional ~$100 extra (or was it $130), for a DAC/AMP module which the HTC 10 already has in its $700 price. Nobody bats an eye. Yes, the S7 ticks a lot of the boxes, but doesn't offer high resolution sound, and its speakers are pure shit due to the water proofing. It may not be a deal breaker for kids who look for a phone they can get into the bath tub, with a shiny candy color display to play asphalt 8 on, but for me, it is, because I'm a grown up, and I don't bathe with my phone. I also value the overall experience, and feel of my smartphone, and by comparison, the button feedback and how the S7 / G5 feel in hand, is like a toy compared to the HTC 10. That's just me though.
You are correct, but unfortunately not ordinary people prefer over sharpened, over saturated photons and an unrealistic display over natural photos and natural display. Because majority don't know the value of pure things.
Also ordinary people don't care about lag, s7 is not optimized... :( sadly true, htc do a good job with their software, and for me, smooth experience is the most important thing in a smartphone
+Rocky Saxena You might want to be careful with the underwater shooting. If I'm not wrong, Samsung warranty does NOT cover water damage. It is covered only if you buy their Protection Plus plan along with the phone.
About a year or two ago my brother got his first smartphone, a cherry red HTC One M8. I fell in love with it, especially since it wasnt mine, the design was outstanding, and he always bragged about the speakers. Then the M9 came out with a really bad camera, whatever. now he has the Galaxy S7, and has cracked the front and back of it 6 ways to Sunday (apologies if I said that wrong) point is, HTC does make nice phones, but now so does Samsung, and a few others at lower pricing options. Great video Michael
HTC is too expensive, in such a competitive world, as you said, they can't make it through ! 700€ a phone ? C'mon a OP3 is doing quite the same thing with few things less for 400€... (just an example of course)
Well the S7 has some good point : amazing battery/screen, but laggy Touchwizz (yes it still a thing after all this years). But Samsung is samsung, they have a great marketing power, HTC don't, and when people go for 700€ in a phone, they go with a apple or samsung product, not a HTC or Sony one, that's why both are in big pain selling their flagships. And HTC might do the same error with the Nexus this year (I hope not).
TheA1God25 Clearly you don't own any other device than Samsung to say that. Take an HTC, Motorola, Nexus, OnePlus... you will understand how fucked touchwizz is. Even XDA wrote a article concerning massive issues with the Note 7
I have a htc10 and I love it I've dropped it so many times and is only got a couple of searches and one inner vertacal crack on the top of the screen but u hardly notice it.
The HTC10 is $200 off right now for Black Friday. Which comes out to $499 unlocked, is it worth buying at this price? I'm still debating, I'm currently using the Nexus 4 as my daily driver
I think it's a pretty great phone. I just picked one up for my wife on Black Friday, it's her fourth HTC (Evo 4G, Evo 4G LTE, One M8 Harman-Kardon). So far so good! I had a One M7 myself, HTC does a really great job, but indeed have always been understated. Nice review, Michael!
Hi Michael... Honestly.. This was hands down the best smartphone review I have ever seen! And believe me I have seen ALOT of them! I also like the htc 10 but wouldn't buy it... I think it lacks buyers because of missing g commercials! But I actually do also that one friend that just needs to get stuff done, and I did tell him to get the htc 10! And he did and loves it! So as we can see you have once again brought in down on point with your reviews! Keep up the good work my youtube friend!
This is exactly why people aren't buying it. HTC do not have the branding they once did, the only brands people will break the bank for are Apple and Samsung. It's got more to do with HTC's poor position as a company/brand rather than the product itself. Many of my friends who only really know Samsung and Apple are often pleasantly surprised with my HTC 10, that it offers the same experienced/performance when they've never heard of the brand.
fair enough, but if you live in Canada that's not really relevant haha. A dollar is a dollar. The average income isn't greater here and Im not getting paid in USD! (unfortunately)
Great video. I've had the HTC 10 for about two months now. Honestly I love the fact that see don't see anyone else with it. Not so good for HTC but I live being different.
I was on the same fence. Went to AT&T to hold and hear the S7, I didn’t like it. The sound was crap, very similar to the iPhone 5S I replaced and it didn’t sit well in the hand. Opted for the HTC 10 Unlocked from HTC with a GREAT discount and love the phone. Cons: Screen viewing outside with polarized sunglasses is a task to rotate phone to view and use. Accessory cases are limited and clunky- depends on what you’re looking for thoMetal back is slick Pros: Smooth operatingNot locked to a PC for changes like iPhone“Ok Google”Split screen function-YES you can operate 2 Apps same time with drag and drop functionGreat pictures and videoSound is great from on-board speaker & HeadphonesYou can customize your “sound experience” with hearing tests and other great functionsHeadphone jack is on topFast ChargingFully customizable Uh-Oh planGlobal use Anything else you’d need out of the box, it’s ready to work
i've been following u since ur early days, u are amazing!! i've never taken a reviewer word in any device other than u i was sad that u left pocket now, but im really happy to see u here
Brilliant video. Of all the huge amounts of research I've been doing, your video sums it up perfectly. I'm a huge HTC fan and can't bring myself to give up my ONE M7 which still works flawlessly. But the 10 is still slightly too expensive and I will miss my dual front facing speakers. Ready to take the leap but the price needs to go down before I finally say goodbye to my M7
Who the fuck actually listens from their phone speaker. Its 2016 cast that shit to your TV or put your headphones in. And yes Samsung rocks but for half the price I mean come on
absolutely this is the best reviewer and best in depth true review of the HTC 10. this video really helped me understand the reason behind the poor sales of this great device. Thumbs up M. Fisher.. count me a great van and I promise you more subscribers by the end of this month. 100 more subscribers at least.
First I was unhappy when you left pocketnow but after seeing those reviews.... Man I am very happy for you and for your audience. Keep up the very good work! Easily the best reviews...
Welcome back Fisher. I missed your reviews. you were 10 times better than what the other team has now. We all know which team was that and there is no need to look back
I have decided to switch to my first HTC and yes I can not wait to get my hands on the 10! I was leaning towards the S7 edge but what sold me is the audio factor on the 10! And when seeing in the store for the first time I thought ( wow that's a beautiful phone) I enjoy watching your videos Mr Mobile over most. Thanks for this one👍🏽
I'm considering myself an HTC die hard fan, that's why I bought this phone as an upgrade to my M7 and I don't regret it. Awesome review and really enjoyed it.
I have been watching your reviews since a few years and dude you have managed to drastically change the review game! You are undoubtedly one of the best TH-cam reviewers! I love the new appearance and all the slick animations and transitions.. keep up the good work, lots of love appreciation from Pakistan! ☺✌
Hey Michael, great to see you doing so well flying solo! I've been an HTC fan for a run of phones, kept my m7 for over 3 years. Have had the 10 since it's release and I think it's great. Camera, for me, is terrific, sound is great in headphones and excellent overall, but, yes, miss the all out front speakers. I feel like there's a sophistication, overall, that the samsung has never had. Weird quirk that drives me crazy. The screen completely disappears when I'm wearing sunglasses. Have you noticed? Thanks!
Really missing the front firing speakers. Having an s6 edge plus after my HTC One M8, made me miss the front firing speakers and the sleekness of the M8. I dont like the home buttons on phones these days, and the finger print scanner is not on my wishlist anyway, so I'll probably try the Alcatel 4s over this HTC 10. Great review as always Michael! You hit it right on the nail... I won't go back to HTC until they bring back the speakers and do away with the home button. They thought being more like an iphone or a galaxy phone would increase their chances to hit it big in the market, but they lost their die hard consumers in the process.
Good job Michael, videos that you are doing is incredibly good ... my taste is little longer video , no too long 09-12 minutes...think about that...(all experienced video makers avoid long videos, but short videos look liek race with time ( Marques Brownlee)...that videos not at all bad, i know how much effort is needed for one second of quality video..( always something more can be said about the phone...Of course I'm not an expert for video, I deal with programming, just my opinion, otherwise I follow your work from the very beginning and you're the BEST!!!!!! ... the smart move with pocketnow... I'm sorry for confusion comment.... lol
Hi Michael, great seeing you again in this new channel. I'd been watching your videos since pocketnow, was wondering why you disappear there. Anway, liked and subscribed! totally agreed, htc didn't price right~ cheers from a big fan ~
You said it best. This is 2016 and HTC is still selling this phone at the prices like we were in 2013. In my area it has even left the likes of the Samsung S7s, LG G5, Sony Z5s behind in pricing for the worse.
Excelent review! I like how this guy paces himself when talking delivering a concise, clear message. Can I work with you? Do you need any kind of help? Now, about the phone: htc shot itself on the foot with that price. Nice device, just priced ridiculously high.
Damn, Your video review are just Amazing. It feel like I'm watching some kind of novel. The content is non biases, ritch, instructive and most importantly elegant because your doing it with style. It is a real joy to watch your videos, your the best TECH Reviewer Period!Your the Steven Spielberg of tech review, !
Again a very honest review. I don't know but it seems yr HTC device review videos are always yr best ones and better than other reviewers... Anyhow, Mr. Mobile, those nitpicks that u picked up, actually not nit picks, rather those u should have mentioned have achielles heel of HTC 10 imo. And ample noise cancellation? Really Michael? I doubt u live in a busy city to know how bad the noise cancellation is in HTC 10. Anyway, nice to see u back in full form. keep it up man. U have talent.
Yes, it's nitpicking because the fingerprint thing happens only once in a while, I have it and I'd say I see the try again maybe once every 3 days of usage maybe and those are because all of the time I'm not covering the sensor or I'm not using the center part of the finger but the tip or the bottom. The sound it's up to preference but I love it on theater mode for video playback and games. The noise cancellation is actually real good, I was in a mall in the middle of a crowd and a Bingo while everyone talking and yelling and my GF could actually hear me and understand what I was saying on the other side of the line.
+Juan Carlos Alpízar yeah I have used this at ridiculously loud moments such as a trolley, talking in moving car with the windows down, talking during a live concert, and the only time someone can't hear me is if I literally was too far away from the phone itself and the phone wasn't on speaker phone. For example talking while wearing headphones with no mic and the phone on a table far away because my dumbass forgets I don't have a mic sometimes lol.
Always been a fan of HTC, even thought it does NOT get the recognition of Samsung or Motorola. A good friend of mine got the HTC EVO and I was impressed back then. The EVO's kickstand was worth the price alone!! My first smartphone was the Atrix by Motoroloa, then the Pantech Discover which I REALLY liked: all the bells/whistles as the Galaxy 5 but $150.00 less!! 2 years ago I got the HTC M One 8, which I liked: the design, all metal body, etc Was very disappointed finding out AT&T wouldn't carry the M 10, so I got an un-locked version with $100.00 off promotion. AT&T put SIM chip in new phone, gave me 150.00 store credit. Found out my bill will be cut by 1/3 because I'm NOT on contract. I like the native Google UI, makes it SO much easier without all that bloatware. I plan to SLOWLY add previous apps. The new BoomSound speaker configuration takes getting used to, but I'm VERY happy with the phone's sound, look, performance. . . HTC if marketed well they would blow Samsung out of the water. They make GOOD SOLID phones.
oh my God I did it I subscribe and I am so happy now I'm jumping up and down I wish I could videotape that and show you okay maybe not video taping but you know there's no more tapes in phones or never been but I'm happy jumping up and down thank you so much you're awesome keep up the great work
Sick vid, bro. Yeah I was hot in this phone, but there's just not enough setting it apart at thay price. Abandoning the front speakers is just so odd. I'm excited to see what they bring with the new Nexus(es) and excited to hear Mr. Mobile's thoughts.
Great review! I used to have a M9 and i miss it so much. The only thing that i don't like about the 10 is the placement of the fingerprint scanner and the capacitive buttons. Why the hell they are not on the center of the gap? It kills me. Sorry for bad english.
Watch where you point that finger Mr Fisher. I've got two HTC 10s in this household and it was the 10 that replaced my beloved Moto X. I think you summed it up completely when you said 'It gets the job done' and while I miss my old One M8s FF speakers it just does everything else so much better

MrMobile [Michael Fisher] thanx for this fantastic review and voicing your opinion, convincing
long time no see
HTC 'might' even fail in the years to come, but it'll always have a soft spot in my heart. It's hell of a company.
anyone with me?
Agreed. There's something about them that makes them standout, more fun, more intuitive, funky, just nice.

And believe me, this I never got with the other reviewers.
Hats off to you! 😊
The Best Android Phone You're Not Buying... because it's expensive.
The Note 7 is more expensive then this. You get this for high quality audio. :)
*because samsung
+TyphoonBlade, TheRelaxedFlier Isn't the Axon 7 the better choice for audio this?

Long time fan
really loving the content ,probably the best on TH-cam !
And do you rate it above the S7 edge?
Rohan Satish Not necessarily.Both are wonderful smartphones and it only comes down to your personal preference.So don't be an amateur 😂😂😂 and compare both.Both are great pieces if hardware and amongst the best of 2016
From your perspectives and reviews of each device to the filmmaking / editing of each video you've become one of my favorite mobile tech channels!

personally I switched form iphone 6 to htc 10 and i'm more happy than ever
especially I had the samsung s1 but I never liked it, samsung version of android is trash
Alt-255 me too. I had an iPhone 6s and I think this is WAY better.
And tonight I can sleep happy, because I know that HTC is still the best company out there, and that man is awesome for taking the plunge back into Android 👌😁

You, Jaime and lanh are my favorite reviewers. Not only do yall talk specs and features, yall also talk feel and the whole experience. Your work is greatly appreciated and i wish you much success Mr.Mobile!
My reasons for buying this phone over any competitor like the Galaxy S7 for example (while coming from the Galaxy S4):
1) The back-, home- and menu-buttons are hardware and not on-screen (why should I give up that extra screen space when I got that space below the screen anyways?)
2) Expandable storage (I got a SanDisk 200GB microSDXC card full with music and movies, can't get any cheaper than that)
3) It's snapdragon-based - so CyanogenMod isn't out of the question if I get tired of HTC's Sense UI. (That's why the Galaxy S7 dropped out for me)
4) I am an audiophile and listen to a lot of music with expensive headphones so the built in processor / DAC blows my ears right off.
...
and so on
Thorsten Hagemeier number 2 is irrelevant since there is expandable storage on s7 as well
Thorsten Hagemeier the s7 doesn't have on screen buttons, and mine has the snapdragon 820.
GOD the editing in this video is soo F***ing GOOD!! Michael you've been missed and I'M SOO GLAD that you have returned!! Nobody can match the slick editing and absolutely fantastic content you create and provide!
just wanna say,I watched your reviews on pocket now and compared to other reviews,I like yours a whole lot more, I know I'm getting a full and honest review clear ,to the point and nicely informative,I'm looking for a new phone to upgrade from my galaxy s4 and I trust your reviews,it's hard knowing what's best to go for . any wisdom on my next phone appreciated ....Best of luck with all you do from the UK
the HTC 10 is a textbook example of the consumer having lost faith in the OEM.
+Team Android Canada yes l agree.
+Team Android Canada right
+Team Android Canada that would be incredible. i had they m8 and loved the audio, but since its untimely destruction i have had a note 3, an s6 edge, and now a note 7. i have to say samsung phones are very very good, i just miss those m8 front facers
+mark gonzales the*
LOVE MIne.
Michael! What a pleasant surprise to see you pop back up on TH-cam.
Glad you're continuing the reviews. I really enjoy your reviewing style. Looking forward to many more reviews to come!
I love my HTC 10. I don't use a case as I prefer to showcase the beautiful build of the 10. I get asked all the time...what phone are you using? I can only smile and reply...HTC baby!!
good to see you still doing video reviews I was wondering where you went...
can you re-review the Nexus 6P, please?
i would like to know if its still worth buying with new nexuses just around the corner and how well its aged after one year
Buy One Plus 3 aka nexus 7 😆
No Nabil. The OP3 is superior, but maybe he just want the "instant" updates.
Nookiezilla exactly that 👌
Simon Šelih Just get it. It's fine enough
Nabil Khatri thanks anyway but i can get 6P cheaper now and it will be updated untill 2017 or more for security updates
My HTC10 has been going SOLID for 4 freakin' months now (Super Smooth w/ No Lag AT ALL, Great BatterLife, Great Camera, GREAT HARDWARE) / Expensive? If Apple and Samsung still making their products that high in price, I'm cool with this boy's pricing!
I am a die hard HTC fan :))))))
#TeamHTC all day ...
same here
Me Too #HTC
Hrvoje Sucic give u a like and comment from an m8 ;)
only HTC
In HTC trust
I never knew your channel had been around so long. I was looking at your rise and fall of LG and wondered if you had an HTC video. Behold! You did one 5 years ago!
This was the first phone I've had a case for in many, MANY years. The Ice View case is great- and so useful! Loving the phone, camera and audio especially!
better safe than sorry
576356 Main reason was actually because of the metal body; and because I work in a hectic environment :P Which means it'll get marks easily, and because it's metal I noticed they 'stick' more then on plastic phones (coming from Lumia phones). So a case was a no-brainer, and the Ice View is brilliant!
+Vandrefalk same here. Using a spigen case. moved from a Lumia myself. I think Lumia users prefer the fundamentals that HTC offers. Clean efficient software, quality build and great recording.
Keston- Kende Johnson Indeed! :D
yeah the Ice View Case is amazing and it always turns heads because it's such a unique case, I love how it has beauty and functionality with being able to use the Camera and interact with your phone without needing to lock it :)
this is the honest HTC 10 review I saw on TH-cam.
I'm what you called "a die hard hTC fan" and I'm going to buy the 10, if the nexus don't live up to the hype!
Huge thanks MrMobile.
Man i miss HTC Wish they were still here
Had to give you props for Halt and Catchfire !! love that show
Well let's put it this way (I'm an HTC 10 owner, so I'll just get that out of the way). If the HTC 10, a phone made of solid aluminum, excellent built quality with 24 bit sound DAC/AMP into it, should be $400, shouldn't the G5 be at the same price? They are charging $700 for a phone made of plastic covered with paint and primer, and an additional ~$100 extra (or was it $130), for a DAC/AMP module which the HTC 10 already has in its $700 price. Nobody bats an eye. Yes, the S7 ticks a lot of the boxes, but doesn't offer high resolution sound, and its speakers are pure shit due to the water proofing. It may not be a deal breaker for kids who look for a phone they can get into the bath tub, with a shiny candy color display to play asphalt 8 on, but for me, it is, because I'm a grown up, and I don't bathe with my phone. I also value the overall experience, and feel of my smartphone, and by comparison, the button feedback and how the S7 / G5 feel in hand, is like a toy compared to the HTC 10. That's just me though.
You are correct, but unfortunately not ordinary people prefer over sharpened, over saturated photons and an unrealistic display over natural photos and natural display. Because majority don't know the value of pure things.
be careful with saltwater on the s7
G5 isn't plastic but *ok*
Also ordinary people don't care about lag, s7 is not optimized... :( sadly true, htc do a good job with their software, and for me, smooth experience is the most important thing in a smartphone
+Rocky Saxena You might want to be careful with the underwater shooting. If I'm not wrong, Samsung warranty does NOT cover water damage. It is covered only if you buy their Protection Plus plan along with the phone.
About a year or two ago my brother got his first smartphone, a cherry red HTC One M8. I fell in love with it, especially since it wasnt mine, the design was outstanding, and he always bragged about the speakers. Then the M9 came out with a really bad camera, whatever. now he has the Galaxy S7, and has cracked the front and back of it 6 ways to Sunday (apologies if I said that wrong) point is, HTC does make nice phones, but now so does Samsung, and a few others at lower pricing options. Great video Michael
black front looks much better than the white one
Agreed; and the silver casing is just gorgeous in person.
+MrMobile [Michael Fisher] Yas! ;)
So glad US carriers are offering that version and not the white front and silver back one. :)
Sadly in the U.K the glacial silver back only comes with the white front, so my 10 isn't as pretty as it should be ;(
Ugh, forgot about that.
This guy is like the Jim's Review Room of Phones. SO so classy, with a just a touch of quirky. You're absolutely KILLING it bro, keep it up!!
HTC is too expensive, in such a competitive world, as you said, they can't make it through !
700€ a phone ? C'mon a OP3 is doing quite the same thing with few things less for 400€... (just an example of course)
I'd say right now with all the promotional items they are throwing in... It makes it a bit more compelling
Well the S7 has some good point : amazing battery/screen, but laggy Touchwizz (yes it still a thing after all this years). But Samsung is samsung, they have a great marketing power, HTC don't, and when people go for 700€ in a phone, they go with a apple or samsung product, not a HTC or Sony one, that's why both are in big pain selling their flagships.
And HTC might do the same error with the Nexus this year (I hope not).
+Eileen the Crow fully agree. I perfer HTC, always have for whatever reason. However, i order the Axon 7 basically because of price!
TheA1God25 Clearly you don't own any other device than Samsung to say that. Take an HTC, Motorola, Nexus, OnePlus... you will understand how fucked touchwizz is.
Even XDA wrote a article concerning massive issues with the Note 7
this phone is 850 dollar at my place. no way to buy
Awesome review!!! It was so nice of you to mention Jerome Ortega. The kid is pretty good in my opinion.
I have a htc10 and I love it I've dropped it so many times and is only got a couple of searches and one inner vertacal crack on the top of the screen but u hardly notice it.
10,000th like on this video! Quality videos! Hated to see you leave the other channel but glad to see your videos are still great quality!
The HTC10 is $200 off right now for Black Friday. Which comes out to $499 unlocked, is it worth buying at this price? I'm still debating, I'm currently using the Nexus 4 as my daily driver
Dude, I wondering where you were. I haven't seen you on the other mobile channel for a while. You are a great reviewer. Keep it up
What happened to Pocketnow?
+Nick Selig :glances across the Internet: it seems fine to me
n
MrMobile [Michael Fisher] So... you left?
Yes
Nick Selig h
I think it's a pretty great phone. I just picked one up for my wife on Black Friday, it's her fourth HTC (Evo 4G, Evo 4G LTE, One M8 Harman-Kardon). So far so good! I had a One M7 myself, HTC does a really great job, but indeed have always been understated. Nice review, Michael!
Not being sold at AT&T didn't help the Ten.
heard T-Mobile even drop the 10 from their lineup
+Travis Porter yup after 2 months
they're not selling it on at&t? that's a shame. kinda wanted it as an upgrade from my M8
+RandomVideos You can always buy it unlocked
yogosans14 wonder why
Great review, Michael! We need more of this honest perspective, rather than the release day hype we get from so many blogs and websites.
+MrMobile Is that the HTC BoomBass i spot at 5:20?
Nailed it.
+MrMobile [Michael Fisher] dude I think you're the only one that still has one
+Domenico Lamberti that's freaking cool I'm jealous Fisher has one I've been wanting to buy it for a long time.
If you don't hit 500k sub by the year end, man I don't even.....
Holding my breath for an Idol 4 review!
I love my 10. The best phone I have ever owned
How come I have never stumbled on to your channel?! Aaaaand subscribed. Keep it up!
This is too expensive yet people will happily buy a fucking iPhone for $850...
People are happily buying garbage with no flagship's specs
Verted Intro j
your reviews - videos keep getting better an better!!!!
surely the iPhone SE is your one handed answer?
it's nothing to the htc 10 am sorry but that's the truth
Its not Android.
+zorkor that too
+zorkor do you think it's 'political". I can't remember his using an iPhone. maybe my memory...
+Tech Ventions I use an s6 edge but really fancy the SE. the size and the camera...
Hi Michael... Honestly.. This was hands down the best smartphone review I have ever seen! And believe me I have seen ALOT of them! I also like the htc 10 but wouldn't buy it... I think it lacks buyers because of missing g commercials! But I actually do also that one friend that just needs to get stuff done, and I did tell him to get the htc 10! And he did and loves it! So as we can see you have once again brought in down on point with your reviews!
Keep up the good work my youtube friend!
i miss htc :((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((
found you on the Pocket Now podcast love you dude!!!!!
$999 in Canada :O that's why I will never buy it. Like you say it's not an S7...
That's insane
$999 in Canadian dollars, right?
This is exactly why people aren't buying it. HTC do not have the branding they once did, the only brands people will break the bank for are Apple and Samsung. It's got more to do with HTC's poor position as a company/brand rather than the product itself. Many of my friends who only really know Samsung and Apple are often pleasantly surprised with my HTC 10, that it offers the same experienced/performance when they've never heard of the brand.
right
fair enough, but if you live in Canada that's not really relevant haha. A dollar is a dollar. The average income isn't greater here and Im not getting paid in USD! (unfortunately)
Great video. I've had the HTC 10 for about two months now. Honestly I love the fact that see don't see anyone else with it. Not so good for HTC but I live being different.
so s7 or htc 10
HTC 10. Go with something different
I was on the same fence. Went to AT&T to hold and hear
the S7, I didn’t like it. The sound was crap, very similar to the iPhone 5S I replaced
and it didn’t sit well in the hand. Opted for the HTC 10 Unlocked from HTC with
a GREAT discount and love the phone.
Cons:
Screen viewing outside with polarized sunglasses
is a task to rotate phone to view and use. Accessory cases are limited and clunky- depends
on what you’re looking for thoMetal back is slick
Pros:
Smooth operatingNot locked to a PC for changes like iPhone“Ok Google”Split screen function-YES you can operate 2 Apps
same time with drag and drop functionGreat pictures and videoSound is great from on-board speaker &
HeadphonesYou can customize your “sound experience” with hearing
tests and other great functionsHeadphone jack is on topFast ChargingFully customizable Uh-Oh planGlobal use Anything else you’d need out of the box, it’s
ready to work
i've been following u since ur early days, u are amazing!!
i've never taken a reviewer word in any device other than u
i was sad that u left pocket now, but im really happy to see u here
Anyone in 2k19 ??
Actually 2020 and watching from my awesome htc 10
Brilliant video. Of all the huge amounts of research I've been doing, your video sums it up perfectly. I'm a huge HTC fan and can't bring myself to give up my ONE M7 which still works flawlessly. But the 10 is still slightly too expensive and I will miss my dual front facing speakers. Ready to take the leap but the price needs to go down before I finally say goodbye to my M7
Just one word:
Samsung.
1 word: bye.
2 words "OnePlus Three"
Bro everyone knows Samsung is king of Smartphones!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Who the fuck actually listens from their phone speaker. Its 2016 cast that shit to your TV or put your headphones in. And yes Samsung rocks but for half the price I mean come on
One word: TouchWiz
absolutely this is the best reviewer and best in depth true review of the HTC 10. this video really helped me understand the reason behind the poor sales of this great device. Thumbs up M. Fisher.. count me a great van and I promise you more subscribers by the end of this month. 100 more subscribers at least.
Dude !! I am so happy I found your channel!
Sent from a HTC M8 and having a HTC 10 cuz I am a die hard fan! 😋😋
First I was unhappy when you left pocketnow but after seeing those reviews.... Man I am very happy for you and for your audience. Keep up the very good work! Easily the best reviews...
Welcome back Fisher. I missed your reviews. you were 10 times better than what the other team has now. We all know which team was that and there is no need to look back
Was having this exact discussion with a co-worker today. Good timing!
Great video! Very high on the info/tainment meter. Helpful and well-packaged, very well-presented piece of video work. Nice going!
Man, your way to make videos its awsome and original, different from others, good luck in the future, keep going!
I have decided to switch to my first HTC and yes I can not wait to get my hands on the 10! I was leaning towards the S7 edge but what sold me is the audio factor on the 10! And when seeing in the store for the first time I thought ( wow that's a beautiful phone) I enjoy watching your videos Mr Mobile over most. Thanks for this one👍🏽
Michael, keep it going, i hink it would be awesome to see the after the buzz episodes you used to do, it was awesome. greeting from Ecuador
I'm considering myself an HTC die hard fan, that's why I bought this phone as an upgrade to my M7 and I don't regret it.
Awesome review and really enjoyed it.
you know how glad I'm that you started your own channel? These are the videos we live for man!
#Dope
I like the fact the you are one of the few people who gave the phone the just review it deserves .
I have been watching your reviews since a few years and dude you have managed to drastically change the review game! You are undoubtedly one of the best TH-cam reviewers! I love the new appearance and all the slick animations and transitions.. keep up the good work, lots of love appreciation from Pakistan! ☺✌
Hey Michael, great to see you doing so well flying solo! I've been an HTC fan for a run of phones, kept my m7 for over 3 years. Have had the 10 since it's release and I think it's great. Camera, for me, is terrific, sound is great in headphones and excellent overall, but, yes, miss the all out front speakers. I feel like there's a sophistication, overall, that the samsung has never had. Weird quirk that drives me crazy. The screen completely disappears when I'm wearing sunglasses. Have you noticed? Thanks!
Really missing the front firing speakers. Having an s6 edge plus after my HTC One M8, made me miss the front firing speakers and the sleekness of the M8. I dont like the home buttons on phones these days, and the finger print scanner is not on my wishlist anyway, so I'll probably try the Alcatel 4s over this HTC 10. Great review as always Michael! You hit it right on the nail... I won't go back to HTC until they bring back the speakers and do away with the home button. They thought being more like an iphone or a galaxy phone would increase their chances to hit it big in the market, but they lost their die hard consumers in the process.
Another great review. Mr.Mobile keep it up!!! :) fast all the info you need in couple of minutes.
Good job Michael, videos that you are doing is incredibly good ... my taste is little longer video , no too long 09-12 minutes...think about that...(all experienced video makers avoid long videos, but short videos
look liek race with time (
Marques Brownlee)...that videos not at all bad, i know how much effort is needed for one second of quality video..( always something more can be said about the phone...Of course I'm not an expert for video, I deal with programming, just my opinion, otherwise I follow your work from the very beginning and you're the BEST!!!!!! ... the smart move with pocketnow... I'm sorry for confusion comment.... lol
Hi Michael, great seeing you again in this new channel. I'd been watching your videos since pocketnow, was wondering why you disappear there. Anway, liked and subscribed! totally agreed, htc didn't price right~ cheers from a big fan ~
You said it best. This is 2016 and HTC is still selling this phone at the prices like we were in 2013. In my area it has even left the likes of the Samsung S7s, LG G5, Sony Z5s behind in pricing for the worse.
Excelent review! I like how this guy paces himself when talking delivering a concise, clear message. Can I work with you? Do you need any kind of help? Now, about the phone: htc shot itself on the foot with that price. Nice device, just priced ridiculously high.
Damn, Your video review are just Amazing. It feel like I'm watching some kind of novel. The content is non biases, ritch, instructive and most importantly elegant because your doing it with style. It is a real joy to watch your videos, your the best TECH Reviewer Period!Your the Steven Spielberg of tech review, !
Hey, your reviews are always one of the best!
Again a very honest review. I don't know but it seems yr HTC device review videos are always yr best ones and better than other reviewers... Anyhow, Mr. Mobile, those nitpicks that u picked up, actually not nit picks, rather those u should have mentioned have achielles heel of HTC 10 imo. And ample noise cancellation? Really Michael? I doubt u live in a busy city to know how bad the noise cancellation is in HTC 10. Anyway, nice to see u back in full form. keep it up man. U have talent.
sorry, mentioned *as
Yes, it's nitpicking because the fingerprint thing happens only once in a while, I have it and I'd say I see the try again maybe once every 3 days of usage maybe and those are because all of the time I'm not covering the sensor or I'm not using the center part of the finger but the tip or the bottom. The sound it's up to preference but I love it on theater mode for video playback and games. The noise cancellation is actually real good, I was in a mall in the middle of a crowd and a Bingo while everyone talking and yelling and my GF could actually hear me and understand what I was saying on the other side of the line.
+Juan Carlos Alpízar yeah I have used this at ridiculously loud moments such as a trolley, talking in moving car with the windows down, talking during a live concert, and the only time someone can't hear me is if I literally was too far away from the phone itself and the phone wasn't on speaker phone.
For example talking while wearing headphones with no mic and the phone on a table far away because my dumbass forgets I don't have a mic sometimes lol.
Hey Michael, you look so Good in the End of Video ! This was the most comprehensive and Stylish review from you :D
excellent review Michael... you've reached every aspect worth being spoken of.. good and not-so-good ones.. keep up the great job!
I'm glad Michael is back. I miss his voice and poetic cadence when he talks it makes me since 2012.
your editing skills are apsulutely insane keep it up
Always been a fan of HTC, even thought it does NOT get the recognition of Samsung or Motorola.
A good friend of mine got the HTC EVO and I was impressed back then. The EVO's kickstand was worth the price alone!!
My first smartphone was the Atrix by Motoroloa, then the Pantech Discover which I REALLY liked: all the bells/whistles as the Galaxy 5 but $150.00 less!!
2 years ago I got the HTC M One 8, which I liked: the design, all metal body, etc
Was very disappointed finding out AT&T wouldn't carry the M 10, so I got an un-locked version with $100.00 off promotion. AT&T put SIM chip in new phone, gave me 150.00 store credit. Found out my bill will be cut by 1/3 because I'm NOT on contract.
I like the native Google UI, makes it SO much easier without all that bloatware. I plan to SLOWLY add previous apps. The new BoomSound speaker configuration takes getting used to, but I'm VERY happy with the phone's sound, look, performance. . .
HTC if marketed well they would blow Samsung out of the water. They make GOOD SOLID phones.
oh my God I did it I subscribe and I am so happy now I'm jumping up and down I wish I could videotape that and show you okay maybe not video taping but you know there's no more tapes in phones or never been but I'm happy jumping up and down thank you so much you're awesome keep up the great work
Hi Michael. Must say you're videos are awesome. Great content and straight to the point, no bullshit.
Keep up the great work buddy!👍
i dont usually comment .. but ur reviews are great mike .. keep it up .. coz u sound like u love what ur doing .. so goodluck bro..
Please don't tell Marques, but you are my new favorite tech reviewer ;-)
Absolutely loving these vids, please keep 'em coming.
The star trek communicator you squeezed in was a nice touch...
Great video...again. Thumbs up, already a subscribed fan... keep it up champ..!
Great review like always. My first smart phone was a HTC I've since jump on the apple boat and have not looked back.
YES! FINALLY! Been waiting for this review! Thanks!
Hey mike
Missed your awsome reviews thought you've gone for good .
Sick vid, bro. Yeah I was hot in this phone, but there's just not enough setting it apart at thay price.
Abandoning the front speakers is just so odd.
I'm excited to see what they bring with the new Nexus(es) and excited to hear Mr. Mobile's thoughts.
Great review Michael. Well rounded and clean presentation. Liked, shared👍
Great review! I used to have a M9 and i miss it so much. The only thing that i don't like about the 10 is the placement of the fingerprint scanner and the capacitive buttons. Why the hell they are not on the center of the gap? It kills me. Sorry for bad english.
Watch where you point that finger Mr Fisher. I've got two HTC 10s in this household and it was the 10 that replaced my beloved Moto X. I think you summed it up completely when you said 'It gets the job done' and while I miss my old One M8s FF speakers it just does everything else so much better
