Hardware Overview and CPU Performance

In that location'southward naught also unusual about the hardware found in the HTC 10. The SoC is a Snapdragon 820 that nosotros get-go reviewed in the LG G5, and so we know already that nosotros're getting fantastic performance. The Snapdragon 820 packs a quad-core Kryo CPU dissever into two clusters: i clocked at 2.fifteen GHz and the other clocked at ane.59 GHz. There's also an Adreno 530 GPU clocked at 624 MHz, a new Hexagon 680 DSP, and a 64-fleck retentivity controller providing up to 29.8 GB/due south of bandwidth.

In the HTC 10 in detail there is 4 GB of LPDDR4 retentivity and either 32 or 64 GB of memory. Most models y'all'll find on the market will be the 32 GB model as this device besides packs a microSD carte slot for cheap expandable storage. At that place's likewise USB 3.1 support through the USB Type-C port for fast data transfer to this storage.

Connectivity wise there are no surprises. Dual-band Wi-Fi 802.11a/b/grand/n/air-conditioning, Bluetooth 4.ii, NFC, DLNA, GPS + GLONASS, and LTE Category 9 with support for upward to 450 Mbps downwardly and 50 Mbps up. In that location are unlike models of the HTC 10 out at that place with a different drove of LTE bands, but the US model seems to embrace most regions pretty well with its xiii FDD bands. The model for Australia, and the ane I received, supports fewer FDD bands only includes TDD support for the region.

1 key piece of connectivity that the HTC 10 includes is AirPlay back up out of the box, which allows this telephone to hands connect to media devices through Apple's protocol. AirPlay devices are abundant and the protocol works rapidly and easily, then it's a clever inclusion past HTC.

Functioning in general from the HTC 10 is fantastic as you'd expect from a high-cease device. Let'due south take a look at how the handset performs in a range of benchmarks

On the CPU side, the HTC x is 62% faster than the HTC One M9 with its Snapdragon 810 SoC, which is a meaning performance comeback. The 10 is slightly faster than the Galaxy S7 Edge in CPU workloads, and as expected, performance is most identical to the LG G5. We're also seeing more than double the functioning of the HTC One M8 for those thinking of upgrading from a 2-year-one-time Snapdragon 801 device.
