HTC has a new phone, the HTC One X10 and its release could be termed as a silent one. News of the device first surfaced on Tuesday when an official poster was leaked. Now the device is live on HTC’s Russian website.

HTC One X10 Specs

The leaked poster teased one major feature, a large battery and HTC delivers on that. The HTC One X10 packs a 4000mAh battery under its all-metal back. The battery is said to last almost 2 days on a single charge.

The rest of the specs on the HTC One X10 are not outstanding. We have seen them in phones launched as far back as early 2016. There is a 5.5-inch FHD display with Corning Gorilla Glass. You get 3GB of RAM and 32GB of storage which can be expanded via a MicroSD slot that accepts up to 2TB cards.

The HTC One X10 is powered by the same Helio P10 processor in the HTC U Play. The P10 is old and its successor, the Helio P20 was announced at last year’s CES but HTC is still putting the Helio P10 in phones released in 2017.

There is a f/2.0 16MP rear camera on the X10 with a pixel size of  1 μm. The rear camera has a LED flash flanking it on the right and there is a fingerprint scanner below it. HTC says the rear camera will perform well under low-light. For the front camera, there is an 8MP 86° wide-angle sensor, that allows you fit all your friends in one frame.

One thing HTC does get right with the One X10 is the design. Its a beautiful phone with a metal back and a 2.5D glass front. The silver painted antenna lines on both color variants are also pleasing to the eyes.

In December 2016, the rumor mill revealed that HTC is working on a successor smartphone for its HTC One X9 from last year.

The HTC One X10 is speculated to feature a 5.5-inch display that is expected to carry support for a display resolution of 1,920 x 1,080 pixels. As previous rumors have stated, the mid-range smartphone is rumored to be powered by MediaTek MT6755 chipset. The SoC includes a 64-bit octa-core processor that works at 1.9 GHz and Mali-T860 graphics.

Rumors have it that the MediaTek chipset of HTC One X10 will be coupled with 3 GB of RAM. Its native storage will be of 32 GB. Since its predecessor features an external storage, the HTC One X10 is pegged to come with a microSD card slot. It expected to come preloaded with Android 7.0 Nougat OS.

For photography, the HTC One X10 is rumored to come with OIS enabled 16-megapixel rear snapper.  It is speculated to include a front-facing camera of 8-megapixel. A 3,000 mAh battery is expected to fuel the smartphone.

Here is another leaked photo of the HTC One X10 that appeared in the recent past:

The HTC U Ultra and HTC U Play smartphones were announced by the Taiwanese tech giant in the previous month. It is likely that the company may use the MWC 2017 platform to announce the HTC One X10. It is expected to be available with a pricing of $288.

HTC is rumored to release six to seven smartphones. The Taiwanese smartphone maker is also speculated to be working on HTC 11 flagship that is likely to get released in the second quarter of this year.

HTC’s revenue is dipping rapidly. In December 2016, the Taiwanese company met with a 16.4 percent month-on-month and 1.7 percent year-on-year decline.

The total revenue generated by HTC for the entire year of 2016 is NT$78.16 billion. This number is not impressive as it is 35 percent dip compared to the revenue generated by the company in 2015. Moreover, it is the worst annual figure in the past 11 years. The highest annual figure it generated was in 2011 when it earned NT$465.7 billion.

HTC has reached NT$22.2 billion revenue in the last quarter of 2016. In the third quarter, the company announced a net decline of NT$2.18 per share when the generated revenue was almost same it recorded in the fourth quarter.

In the last quarter of 2016, HTC is expected to continue to record losses. If it happens, it will the seventh consecutive quarterly loss for the company.

The poor sales record of HTC shows that the HTC 10 that was well-received by critics and audience did not help in improving its revenue. The company even manufactured the Google Pixel and Pixel XL smartphones. Even though the Pixel smartphones are sold as Google products and not as HTC devices, the Taiwanese firm did generate some revenue for it but even that has not helped in bettering its revenue.

The HTC U Ultra is expected to feature a 6-inch display whereas the U Play may arrive with a 5.2-inch screen.

HTC One X10, an upgraded version for last year’s HTC One X9. It is expected to be a midrange device with features like 5.5-inch full HD screen and an octa-core MediaTek SoC.  It is also rumored to be working on HTC Vive smartphone.

HTC’s next flagship, the HTC 11 that is slated to replace HTC 10 from 2016 is also under the wraps. It is rumored to get unleashed in the first quarter of 2017 with features like 5.5-inch quad HD display and Snapdragon 835.

The forthcoming smartphones do appear promising. Only time will tell whether these devices help in recording better revenue this year.

HTC released a teaser announcing the impending launch on January 12 of a device that belongs to its U series. The teaser just contained the words “for U”, with the letter “U” made extra bold. At first we had thought the device was the HTC One X10 but then on closer scrutiny it certainly isn’t. But the HTC One X10 will launch sometime in Q1 2017, according to popular tipster Eva Bass (@evleaks).

Apart from revealing the HTC One X10 will launch in Q1 2017, the tipster also posted a leaked real live render of the smartphone. From the renders, it can be gathered that the HTC One X10 will not come with a physical home button but has virtual buttons which would function as home key, back button and quick app launcher. At the rear, there is a unique straight line antenna band which runs at the top and bottom edges. The rear camera sits centrally while the LED flash is located by the side of the camera. The X10 also has a rear mounted fingerprint sensor located under the rear camera. The power button and volume rocker are located at the right side of the phone.

The HTC One X10 will take over the rein from last year’s 5.5-inch One X9 phablet and it is just slightly different from its predecessor. The device is also expected to feature a 5.5-inch display with FHD resolution (1080 x 1920 pixels). Powering the device will be a MediaTek Helio P10 chipset with octa-core processor and a clock frequency of 2GHz. The graphics will be fired up by a Mali-T860 GPU clocking at 700 MHz. The X10 is also expected to pack 3GB RAM, 32GB ROM onboard as well as a 16.3MP rear camera with OIS and a 7.9MP front camera.

HTC One X10 Launch Date

Some speculations suggest that HTC may unveil the smartphone at the upcoming CES (Consumer Electronics Show) 2017 that will be held in Las Vegas from Jan. 3 to 8. Interestingly, the Taiwanese company has sent out invitations for a Jan. 12 launch event.

The invitation does not reveal much as it only contains “for U” text. Also, the HTC logo at bottom right has its C turned 90 degrees to make it appear as U. Since there are rumors of HTC One X10, it is expected to get unleashed on Jan. 12.

The Jan. 12 event seems to be big event and the company may not use such an event to unleash just a midranger. Also, in 2015, the launch event invitations for HTC One X9 carried a large sized ‘X.’ Hence, it is likely that may unleash its first smartwatch or HTC Vive 2 VR on Jan. 12.
