This year has proven to be one of the best in recent history for affordable flagship smartphones, but what about true, premium, high-end handsets that don't hold back any punches? Samsung's Galaxy Note 7 looked like it was going to be the best smartphone of the entire year, but after the endless amount of trouble that Samsung has had with the phone, it is now one of the most infamous handsets of the year. However, while your days may seem dark and gloomy as a result of Samsung recalling the Note 7 for a second time, there is some hope to be had. HTC was previously offering $150 off of their HTC 10 flagship, but the company had now decided to extend that deal through October 16.
If you don't remember the HTC 10 all that well, we don't really blame you. The year of 2016 has proved to be one of the most competitive ones in mobile landscape that we've ever seen, and although the HTC 10 has a whole lot to love about it, its starting price of $699 was definitely a bit of a turnoff when it first launched. With this sale though, the price of that phone comes down to just $549. That's a pretty hefty cut, but what just are you getting for that price?
The HTC 10 boasts a 5.2-inch 1440 x 2560 LCD display, Snapdragon 820 processor, 4GB of RAM, 64GB of expandable storage, and a 3,000 mAh battery. All of this is packed into one of the cleanest and nicest aluminum bodies you'll find, and all of this is powering a pretty nice version of Android 6.0 with HTC's Sense 8.0 UI layered over it. When we reviewed the phone back in April, we said, "We'd be happier being seen flipping the 10 out at a business meeting than any other Android phone on the market right now." as a result of the phone's no-nonsense approach to the way it gets things done. It may not be the most exciting smartphone on the market, but if you want something that absolutely kills it with the basics and doesn't throw in any unnecessary software to get in your way, the HTC 10 is still one of your best bets. And, for just $549 until October 16, you can get it at a much more affordable price.
