In four days from now, HTC will be unveiling its 2016 flagship handset: the HTC 10. The company has been hyping and teasing different aspects of the handset through its various social media accounts, including its camera and BoomSound speakers.
The HTC 10 has already leaked in plenty of press renders and leaked pictures, so we already know how it looks like. And today, the handset has made its way to GFXBench and Geekbench thereby revealing the complete specs of the handset.
The listing on both benchmarking tools reveal that the HTC 10 will come with a Snapdragon 820 chipset, 4GB RAM and 32GB of internal storage. The Snapdragon 820 is the latest and greatest chip from Qualcomm, so at least in the performance department the 10 is not going to lag behind the LG G5 and the Galaxy S7. The raw horsepower of the Snapdragon 820 will also be required to drive the 5.1-inch Quad HD display on the HTC 10. Interestingly, the listing confirms that the HTC will be using a 12MP rear shooter on its upcoming flagship. It has been previously rumored that the HTC 10 will use the same 12MP sensor that is found on the Nexus 6P and Nexus 5X, but with OIS and other improvements. While the benchmark listing don’t confirm the presence of OIS, they do confirm that the HTC 10 will indeed come with a 12MP shooter. Surprisingly, the listing indicates that HTC has used a 5MP sensor on the front of the handset, but other rumors have indicated that the handset will come with a 4MP UltraPixel sensor. Another rumor from today has also claimed that the selfie shooter on the HTC 10 will feature OIS as well, which if true, will be a first in a smartphone.
