HTC One M7 vs M8 vs M9 vs HTC 10: How HTC flagships developed

Design-wise, looking at the picture above shows us that the first three handsets look pretty alike while the last one, or the latest one, does carry a different design language. Obviously, the familiar large dual front-facing speakers, big main camera and curved back no longer exist on the HTC 10. Instead, it has a physical home button equipped with a fingerprint sensor underneath, a smaller shooter, and a flat back with rounded edges. We think it is more elegant and comfortable in hands than before. But, what’s your opinion?

Apart from the appearances, their specifications are also different in a good way. Successor always seems more powerful than predecessor thanks to boasting the latest features and technologies of their time. To get a clear view, let’s have a look at the following spec table:

No doubt HTC 10 is the best so far with 4GB RAM, Snapdragon 820 chip, world-class camera, Hi-Res audio tech, and 2K screen. It seems like most of the strongest specifications you can wish for a smartphone today are included in the 10. Hopefully, with this model, HTC can earn more success in 2016.
