In fact despite all the leaks and rumors, the HTC 10 may very well be the most surprising new smartphone of the year . Two-day battery life... a class-leading camera that tied Samsung's Galaxy S7 for the title of world's best smartphone camera in DxOMark's testing... blazing-fast speed... and that's just the beginning. Here's everything you need to know about the hot new HTC 10. First things first — be sure to check out-our earlier coverage of the phone from this morning: HTC unveils HTC 10 flagship phone with 2-day battery life and class-leading camera HTC 10 hands-on: The most surprising smartphone of the year HTC 10 is the first Android phone ever to support Apple’s AirPlay streaming 5 best things about the new HTC 10 We definitely recommend reading those posts for all the in-depth details you need. But if you're looking for a broad overview of the key points, you've come to the right place because you'll find everything right here in this post. Let's start at the end: The HTC 10 is available for preorder in the U.S. beginning today, April 12, for $699.99 on HTC's website -where you can also pay in installements. That sum gets you an unlocked model compatible with AT&T and T-Mobile's networks, and preorders will start shipping in early May which is also when the phone is set to hit Verizon, T-Mobile and Sprint store shelves. AT&T will apparently not be selling the phone directly. As for the phone itself, it features an all glass and aluminum housing that is reminiscent of HTC's M series phones, but more refined. The back sports a prominent polished, chamfered edge that is just 3mm thick at its thinnest point. The result is a phone that feels terrific in the hand. HTC's new 10 is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 processor and it features-a 5.2-inch Quad HD LCD display, 32GB of storage and microSDXC support up to 2TB, 4GB of RAM, a huge 3,000 mAh battery HTC says will last for two days on a charge, and a killer 12-megapixel camera that received the best score DxOMark has ever given a smartphone camera. This-new flagship HTC phone is also the first smartphone to ever feature optical image stabilization on the front-facing camera in addition to the rear camera, and it's the first Android phone to support Apple AirPlay audio streaming out of the box.
