HTC Nexus, for sure. Nexus phones always have great reviews and are very solid phones, get updates to the new versions of Android first (duh) and stock Android is always a huge plus. Only reason I don't carry a Nexus is that I have a habit of getting a new phone in late April to mid May, and Nexus phones always come out in the fall.
Yep but nop!
This new Sense is very close to stock Android, HTC sold its soul to Google by ditching their own apps (gallery,music,car...) with Google ones so they can get faster updates like Nexus, I think it's part of their agreement for doing the next Nexus.
We can expect something like Nexus 1 (which was made by HTC) and Desire, meaning same hardware inside, It was so similar that we could port easily Sense from the Desire into Nexus 1
A new HTC Nexus would actually be great. I wish Sony would make one too.

This time the nexus 2016 made by HTC could be unveiled in May along with android N !!

But not sure if gomobile will bring it to lebanon. They didnt bother to bring the htc nexus 9 tablet before!!
it's a superb phone definitely one of the top but i don't think it's the saver that htc much needed. We the geeks my understand the difference and will prefer htc over sumsung but normal people will go with the s7 or even the g5 specially. The phone doesn't have anything negative (thought the battery would be better if a little bigger and the cpu isn't amount the best in benchmarks) but it doesn't also have any point breaker so people will be exited about(i know the sound is superb but alot of people will prefer waterproof,ir port,...) . I think it's obvious that htc is moving more and more and focusing on vr division .

Where can I get Micro USB Female to Type C adapters like the Xiaomi ones?
They cost barely 2$ on aliexpress but if there are some shops in Lebanon selling them it will save me 2 months of waiting.
I have one QC 2.0 in my car and one in the house but both are Micro USB
Available at pcandparts vegeta.

USB type C to USB3.0 Male Cable Y-C474BK $18.00
USB type C to USB3.0 Female Cable Y-C476BK $18.00
USB type C to USB type C sync charge Cable Y-C477BK $22.00
Yup, RIP HTC.

Hopefully the HTC Nexus resurrects the company.

Welcome to Lebanon!
A 2$ accessories that become 9x more expensive, well I will wait 2 months for AE to send me (frack you Lebanese companies)
I bought from AE. The 2$ cables are really horrible quality. You'll probably get slow transfer/charging.

like what i've told, geeks should love this phone in the end the missing features aren't so important and it's an htc with the highest equipment available right now(if i hadn't bought the 6p this would definitely be my choice) but for normal people i just don't see him making an impact that we hoped he make to put htc back where it belongs in selling(specially with the high number of s7 sellings).
i've bought mine for aliexpress. but after one month and a alf it's no near to get delivered soon:S

Agree with you. The mainstream folk will not warm up to the 10, in my opinion.

Here's why it's 9mm in the middle

I'm a geek and owned every kind of phones and saw/tried many others... And I would still get a S7 edge anyday anytime!
That thing is currently unrivaled in flagships world:
Best camera, biggest battery and great battery life, best screen (although I prefer LCD), waterproofing, very beautiful phone, big screen... What else can I ask for?!
As much as I like android updates and would like to get them, recently it's becoming useless and obsolete in my opinion!
Please do name me what big features did marshmellow or even lollipop bring to android?!?! Nothing!
Doze? All phones, except nexus for sure, had battery saving features.
Multiwindow? Yeah right, ask samsung.
Material design? It's aestethics only and will change again like ICS was ditched
etc...
Unfortunately every feature Google is adding to Android is practically brought/copied from an android OEM.
I used to love nexus phones, but nowadays! No thanks! Keep your updates! What Samsung, LG, and sony have now, surpasses the new features that will come in android P.

They should have put in there at least a 3500mah! Way too thick for such a small battery! Let them learn nice designs from Samsung!
3600mah on 7.7mm thickness!

It may have a good battery life! Not arguing that! But it may have been even better!
If there is something known about samsung phones is how ugly are their design, extremely cheap :)
Good luck with s7, I hope you won't be botheted by touchwiz and lags as well as horrible audio. You must in xda how many s7 edge owners are selling it to get the 10.
Then after it's a matter of taste
