Battery life above average, better than the S7 but not the S7 Edge definitely. Getting about 5 hours of SOT on average. Better than the G5 of course.

In terms of camera, I'd probably go for a draw between the two, even though the S7's auto focus speed is just that little bit faster, but the HTC 10 gets my nod overall. Fantastic build quality, fantastic camera, and above average battery life. Nothing much better than this.

These are some of my quick impressions of the HTC 10 vs the S7e. I would like to emphasize this is my personal assessment and your impressions could be different from mine.

1. Design - I don't quite like the chamfered edges at the back. I felt HTC had over done it. Well users who like all metallic phone will love the feel. I much like the jagged lined power button. Design wise I prefer the S7e. However feel in the hands I much prefer the HTC 10 as it feels more solid and comfortable

2. Audio quality - even though it is different from its previous dual front boom speakers, the audio quality and sound volume is very good. The S7e cannot match it especially in a noisy environment. The S7e has only one speaker which due to its waterproof nature I supposed the speakers had an additional membrane and this do muffled the speakers . However in a quiet environment, I do find the S7e speakers still acceptable to me

3. Battery life : it could be too early as I only had the phones 2 days . But with similar usage the HTC 10 battery life falls short vs the S7e. Even though the S7e battery capacity is 20% higher than the HTC 10, the SOT I recorded on the S7e is about 40- 50% more ( pro rated out already). S7e my SOT was 7-8 hours vs 4-5 hours on the HTC 10. I guess one of the possible reason for the HTC 10 scoring lower is due to its operating temperature. The phone warm up very fast within just a few minutes of solely surfing - battery temperature average in range 38 to 41 degree C. The S7e recorded average 36-38 degree C generally. It is rare that the S7e will even hit 40 degree C while is common for the HTC 10 and* at some times I even see up to 42 degree C
My phone usage mainly on internet stuffs ( browsing, youtubes, several newsfeed, tweeter, mail, whatsapp etc) and NO gaming at all

4. Smoothness - both S7e and HTC 10 are about similar. However as in previous HTC M7, HTC One Max I simply doesn't like the built in blinkfeeds which I find is not smooth at all and is slight jerky at most times. I don't like the Samsung mews feed too

5. Original UI : HTC 10 has less bloatware and uses many Google app unlike Samsung which has another of their own set of app. Anyway I had never like both Samsung and HTC ( and other phone too) default UI and I always replace them with NOVA launcher. On Nova , HTC 10 has a very minor problem - few of my widgets doesn't shown up immediately after each reboot. The phone needed up to 1-2 secs to display it fully. On the S7e it was always instant

6. Camera- tested numerous shots ( all point and click using default settings). Overall I deemed the S7e is slightly better especially in low light. However I believe most users will still love the HTC 10 camera. It is easily one of the best within the top 5 ?? I would still rate the LG V10 as my preferred camera

I am still exploring the phone and will post more impressions later

I'm no Apple user, but sounds like a good deal for audiophiles?

More choice is better! Even if u don't have Apple stuff, it may come in useful one day when u visit friends with Apple hardware.

But I think audiophiles prefer the sound to pass through their 5-figure sum cables! :D

Hey guys. Here are some pictures from the HTC 10, not much of a shutterbug so make what you want out of these pictures! Definitely not the best camera around, but I didn't have much time to test it out. Will update again.

Thanks for sharing!!
2 quick questions:
1. Which ROM version?
2. Was the lens clean? (no fingerprints, oils)

Here's just a few SOT statistics that I got from my HTC 10. Quite consistent so far. Definitely above average battery life.
