Good luck with s7, I hope you won't be bothered 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
Man your fanboyism is killing your sight and objectivity!

Please tell me if the note 5, s6, s7, and all their variants feel cheep and look ugly!
If so, I can tell you that I respect your taste. But "sales, and the population" don't! Everyone likes those designs, me included!

Regarding audio, I honestly don't care too much about it! I care for loudness only, not for quality!

Yes touchwiz isn't the best, but its pros outcome its cons! At least me thinks so, and yet again "sales, and the population" too.

I may get the HTC 10 in the end. But there's a big difference between us.
You're lead by blind fanboyism and you don't see their flaws. You praise everything they do; every choice and you find an excuse for everything that they didn't... I don't! [and please, that's not personal attack... it's just my opinion and what I see :) ]
The S7 edge does lag. My friend has one and even he told me it does stutter from time to time, which is really sad because it runs the SD 820 with 4gigs of RAM. But no, the latest Samsungs don't feel cheap, at all, they feel very high end since the S6. The 10 might have better audio quality but that doesn't mean the S7 has 'horrible' sound quality... it's just a bit inferior but still excellent for the average user... Touchwiz is poop, no one can argue this one
If I were so fanboy hiw on earth I ditched my M9 with an s6 last year then a g4 that I liked?
Did you have an htc for the past 2 years? Mr samsung boy? :)

I heard the Exynos version is way better at RAM management and is smoother than the SD version a times

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 :)
"known". You say that like it's in a fact book.

If anything is "known", it's that Samsung has been dominating Android phone sales for the past few years. If it is "known" that they are cheap and have ugly designs, how are they capable of doing that?

Alright then. I'll play along. In what way is their marketing hiding how cheap their design is?

Plastic for S3 S4 and s5, isn't that cheap??
S6 and S7 have glass back not metal, metal is way more classy than glass

HTC 10 review: An exciting new flagship phone that’s better in every way

http://bgr.com/2016/04/14/htc-10-review/

After two somewhat disappointing years at the top of HTC’s lineup, the company has clearly devoted a tremendous amount of energy to the HTC 10. The result is a smartphone that matches or beats everything else on the market in nearly every single notable category.

The HTC 10 is sleek and sturdy, with a great design crafted from premium materials. The phone is blazing fast, with power that tops every other phone on the market according to benchmark tests. And in real-world use, class-leading touch sensitivity further enhances the UX by offering the smoothest Android experience I have ever tested.

It’s not a perfect phone despite HTC’s “10 is about perfection” tag line, and it won’t be the best phone for everyone. Those looking for a higher-quality display or a sleeker design will likely find both in the Galaxy S7 edge from Samsung, while those seeking out a fresh new take on Android smartphone innovation might opt for the LG G5.

As a total package, however, the HTC 10 is right up there with the best in the business. HTC has addressed multiple problem areas in its latest flagship phone and it has outdone rivals in several key ways — including battery life, which is at the top of everyone’s list of pain points. The camera is also easily among the best I’ve tested, which is something I never thought I would write about an HTC phone.

Bottom line: The HTC 10 is the phone fans have been waiting for.

HTC 10 review: The flagship the company should have made years ago

http://www.techradar.com/reviews/phones/mobile-phones/htc-10-1318627/review/8

We liked

I'll always be a fan of the way that HTC puts its phones together, because it simply doesn't seem to compromise on build quality or effort. Despite not being totally in love with the heft of the device, or the massive chamfered edges, there's no doubt it looks unique and that's a very important thing to have in today's phones.

The camera has been upgraded too, and while you'll really need to work at the photos to get something brilliant, the opportunity is there. Combine that with expandable memory that can be turned into internal storage through Android's Adoptable Storage feature and you've got something excellent to play with.

The real win here comes from the audio though - the HTC 10 can play nearly any file and play it incredibly well. The Hi-Res audio compatibility is welcomed, if a little redundant still, the upscaling seems to offer genuine improvement to even the dullest Spotify track and the bundled headphones feel rather high-quality indeed (in some markets - sadly not all in the US and Canada will be getting them).

I've been trying to work out whether to put battery life in this section too - it's definitely improved for HTC and it'll last the day nicely for most scenarios, but if the screen is on it can fall a little too fast to feel 'safe' before you head out to the bars in the evening.
We disliked

There's not actually a lot to dislike on the HTC 10 - the keyboard, for instance, isn't the best any more, but that can be upgraded easily by downloading one of the many great free options on Google Play.

I'm not in love with the shape of the phone, as I've mentioned, and others felt the same way. However, I've met people that love the edges and the unique look, so it's hard to criticise that.
To be objective here not mislead people I thought i should add the " negative parts of the reviews" so people can have a better picture.

Similarly the camera: HTC has let itself down here by not making it instantly as good at snapping as the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge, but it's still a capable processor that should get better with time, and you can still take some amazing pictures with it.

The loss of the iconic BoomSound speakers of yore is hard for me, and while I appreciate what HTC is trying to do by splitting them up, for me the sound quality isn't good enough.
The 10 is one of these devices I'll have to get my hands on to make a proper judgment. It's not clear for me at the moment, I'm on the fence. But it already reminds me of the One M8, the best Android phone I've ever owned.

You are clueless. You have absolutely no idea how much this statement is wrong.Tell me, have you ever worked in large scaled organizations that are very technology dependent to run their business, and are in need of a stable mobile platform to assist with service operation?

How does 44,000 employees sound?

Please, cut the crap already.
iPhones aren't as heavily marketed as other products.

IMO they're the best in simple UI/UX, best build quality phones, and their marketing is a result of client satisfaction even at the overprices compared to other companies.

PS: I have never owned an iPhone, last and only iOS device I ever had was an iPod Touch
Here come the flamers!
Please keep this thread clean of Android vs iphone wars, and be polite, you want to praise the iphone then open a thread for the iphone 7
I thought of adding this article from bgr because from what's metioned before they praised that the htc 10 is better in every way but now they say that the s7 is still best android phone.

http://bgr.com/2016/04/14/galaxy-s7-best-smartphone/

Bottom line i don't even bother what these magazines say because it's all about advertisement for the company who pays them most. In my opinion we have to wait for real users feedback to really know what's the pros and what's the cons, is it's camera the best right now?,etc...
No @vegetaleb! My last htc device was the sensation!

Every htc device beyond that had that awful black HTC bar at the bottom that I never liked! The phone already had software buttons taking up space, now what is that HTC bar doing there?! The actual screen to body ratio was laughable! I can never get such phone whatever good it is! Whether this bar is needed or not, I don't care! It's not there on other phones! I'm the end user/consumer and I want something that appeals to me and is both convenient/functional! Those m7, m8 and m9 were just not for me!
Now, HTC 10 thankfully changed that and it's starting to appeal to me/grow on me.

Samsung boy? Hehe! In these recent years, I've got an LG G2, Note 3, Oneplus one, Xiaomi minote, Note 4 and now just ordered a xiaomi redmi note 3 pro.
How can that be a samsung boy!??! I'm just objective and can see everything in my both eyes!
