Assessing the HTC M10: What Does the Future Hold?

HTC had a challenging year in 2015, with the M9 perhaps not being the hit it wanted. It's most interesting device last year was perhaps the HTC One A9 instead. It has a refreshed design, opts for an amoled display and runs a lighter version of Sense than we've seen before. It also performs well on its mid-range hardware and rumour has it the new flagship will be taking a few cues from this device. Claims suggest HTC might abandon the name M10 for the next handset, with the name HTC 10 being thrown about instead. Other leaks suggest a 5.1-inch AMOLED display with a Quad HD resolution, along with the SD820, 4GB of RAM and 32GB of memory. A fingerprint sensor is expected on the front of the handset, like the One A9 and the leaked images also suggest USB Type-C will be on board. Despite the One M9 launching on the eve of MWC like Samsung and LG did this year, we will be waiting a few more weeks for the M10. Reports suggest HTC will do a separate event in April for the launch of its new flagship, with the 11 April and 19 April both appearing in rumours. The company has already started teasing the device  so keep an eye out over the next few weeks. With the HTC One M9 - 2015's flagship - pushing design refinement, but falling short in other areas, it's make or break time for HTC.
