Rumors about the phone have popped up a few times over the past few months, giving us a pretty good look at the specs and design we should expect from the HTC One X10. Here’s everything we know about the upcoming handset so far.
Design
On the outside, the One X10 is rumored to adopt similar design cues to those featured on the OnePlus 3, the LeEco Le Pro 3, and plenty of other Android handsets. Based on leaked promotional materials and photos claimed to be of the device, it appears that is a reasonable call to make.
Most recently, HTC Source shared two promotional images of the new handset that look to come straight from the company. They show both sides of the device, and also tell us the size of the battery: 4,000mAh. Immediately preceding that leak, Evan Blass shared a similar image on Twitter centered on the backside of the One X10, also touting the improved battery capacity.
An earlier image, courtesy of SlashLeaks, depicted the front of the phone as it would come out of the box — protective stickers and all.
Specs
The latest news on the specs front comes from those aforementioned promotional images, which tout a 4,000mAh battery — significantly larger than the 3,000mAh capacity of the outgoing One X9. The company claims this will allow the HTC One X10 to last up to two days on a charge, given typical usage.
Under the hood, the phone is expected to sport relatively decent hardware — although that will largely depend on how much it ends up costing. Rumored to power the One X10 is MediaTek’s octa-core 1.9GHz MT6755 chipset, which also made an appearance in the Desire 10 Pro, along with 3GB RAM. 32GB of storage is available out of the box, though a MicroSD card slot might be available for additional memory.
Around back, the phone is set to feature a 16.3-megapixel camera above the circular fingerprint sensor and next to the dual LED flash module. The front features a 7.9MP sensor above the 5.5-inch, 1,920 × 1,080 resolution display.
Below the display reportedly sits Google’s traditional back, home, and overflow buttons, noteworthy features given how prior HTC phones do not offer this set of buttons on the hardware.
If the specifications turn out to be accurate, the One X10 might not show enough improvement to persuade someone with the One X9 to make the jump. Apart from the processing package, the main difference is the former’s higher-resolution cameras compared to the latter’s 13MP and 5MP cameras.
By itself, though, the HTC One X10 is a decent midrange option that most likely won’t break the bank — we assume the phone will not go for very much, although pricing and availability are currently unavailable. HTC initially unveiled the One X9 during the tail end of 2015, and sold it for around $170, so we are actually somewhat overdue for an announcement now. The One X9 made its way to China and other parts of the world, and there’s no indication that would change for the One X10.
