1. Review: HTC 10 Is a Good Attempt, But at the Wrong Price
For a company that’s had a rough patch in recent years, the HTC 10 is just the sort of device the doctor ordered to get the company back on track. The design is on point, the hardware is capable, and the device is a credible contender for the premium flagship crown.
