I hope they don't sell a 16GB version in Europe at all. Their obvious competitors all have 32GB now, either as the base model or the only option, so there's no room for a 16GB flagship any more.

Just throw in your MicroSD? And with Android M you can use an Externel HD right? 16GB is enough with those options.
SD cards are way slower then a fast internal storage. 16gb would be a joke for 2016, simple as that. I was already pissed at the 16gb m8 after the 32gb (non expandable) m7.
It's a 700+$ flagship, shouldn't need to trick anything. That sd can cost as well

l disagree on a couple of grounds. Firstly, simple marketing: the rivals have 32, you have 16, who will buy your device? It's not as if it's going to be a budget device anyway. Secondly, adopted storage is less flexible - the card is encrypted so you can't just stick it in a card reader, for example - and microSD is slower and less reliable than internal. So while I want the option to be there (looking at you, Samsung & LG) I regard it as a last resort rather than an equal alternative to adequate internal storage, and would not buy a device where I knew I would have no choice but to use it. 16GB + SD is 2014 specs, and it is crazy to offer it in a flagship now unless you are aiming to get bad reviews.
I agree. 32 and 64 should be the offerings. How much could 16gb of ram cost a company like HTC given the volume they purchase? Seems minimal. And for those that want more than 64, slap in a micro SD card.

I get all of your points, for me its just about costs. For me 16gb is enough, if that can save me 5 bucks on a monthly basis, i will take it. The only reason i use so much space is for music.
So if there was no MicroSD slot, 16gb would be ridicoulous small, but with al the other options, it wouldnt be a dealbreaker for me. I usually save most of my photos and such on my SD anyway, so i can just plug it in a new phone and get going again.
First time i seriously thinking about getting a white one. Looks really clean, other colours cant really bother me that much. Especially the pastel(?) tints.

The only color I care about is bluish dark grey the one in prototypes
After the mouth watering grey m9 and beautiful OP2, silver is not for me
Would HTC really make all those colors? Which one has a black and which one has a white front?!
And what's up with that August 20th on the gold render? LOL

I'm suspicious of the pictures with many, many colours. That feels like a fan render to me, though I'd not say no to a dark red to add to the mix.
But I'm with Hamdir on the colours: a nicely-finished dark grey will do me fine.

These are pretty much photo shopped colours for sure..this is a flagship not a desire series so I am not sure of so many colours
Am i the only one that would droll for a red htc 10 with black front and black stripes?

Black
Silver

original model was provided by temp64GTX and I have corrected it overall, its now accurate from all sides, in the upcoming days ill post more colors and other angles
these are the changes on top of the original turbosquid model:
corrections are based on my my latest measurements53here we go, after a week of hell, this finally landed here today (TW 32GB)
photos taken by the M9S:
my 10 rave fitbag arrives on Tuesday but my trusty old M8 one works as well
I need to express my thanks for @imOJ for all the trouble he went through to help me get this, this guy rocks and i love Dubai!
phenomenal build quality, this must be the first time i've unboxed an HTC flagships with zero QC quirks, despite all the beauty shots and my work on the 3D render it still hit me, the buttons are simply insane like an expensive piece of machinery, the chamfer makes the phone feels so slim and the weight is the same for M8 / M9 carriers, the grey and the black 2.5D glass combo is simple drool inducing, those getting the silver white are making a huge mistake, there are no plastics to be seen and even the plastic patch on top is awesome
the box looks the same as the M9 from the outside but the inside is fancier, soft coated and much better organized, all the included stuff QC 3.0 charger, earbuds and Type-C cable feels much fancier than previous devices, by the time you finish unboxing one conclusion is clear, this is new chapter for HTC
the camera out of box is nothing like we've seen lately so i've skipped testing it and installing 1.30 before i touch it
the screen is on the surface and anyone thinking otherwise is lying to himself, the screen looks pinkish out of box for few reasons: auto brightness and the vivid mode, i have spent half an hour testing various settings, angles and doing comparisons which i will show you tomorrow but for now: I have strong evidence that this a matter of glue, actually its right there in @jmitr photos
once you raise the brightness to full and change your settings the screen will impress, i agree with David Ruddock, Vivid mode sucks! it's almost disgusting so i have switched to sRGB mode which is gorgeous and the temp slider to full cold, never seen such good whites, even with sRGB it's still greatly saturated vs M9, in short with sRGB this is extremely close to the iPhone, the coolest bit? using it at full brightness with auto disabled doesnt warm the screen at all (suggesting that the screen brightness is capped with the real full reserved for the sun)
ghosting...sadly its true, its a regression from the M9 but hey i've spent the year fighting with everyone here who refused to believe that the M9 screen is much better versus the M8 in terms of smoothness feel ie: refresh rate, so if you worship the M8 screen you will have no problem as the 10 is better than the M8 just not as good as the M9 in terms of ghosting
speakers: OMG, just ignore all the non sense you've read, its LOUD, louder than the M9 and the sound is much crisper, its just not dimensional like the M9 but its clearer and louder from every angle, finally music mode makes the difference, it sounds like stereo, the default theatre mode is inferior to the M9, we have yet another incident of reviewers being too lazy to switch a stupid setting
more tomorrow49I have decided to show you this, my mockup of the M10, because i don't want to give Evan the pleasure of spoiling the M10 for us, like he did with that God awful washed out photo he has released, here is my render of the M10 which i had made earlier but now corrected to measurements after Evan's front reveal, this is made from all the insider information i have of the M10
note: this mockup does not show the hidden thing on the front
you can really understand the codename now, this is the cleanest most symmetrical phone HTC ever made, it contains the essence of HTC but fulfils everything the press has been asking for
- no logo bar
- improved screen to body ratio hence its expect to have the same size as M9 with bigger screen, 5.2"
- AOSP like UX
- heavy loaded camera hardware
update v2: refined render with corrected rear camera size, fingerprint shape and clearer bezel
update v3: fractionally wider in order to perfectly fit the M9+ 5.2" screen proportions and every sensor on the front including the speaker was readjusted to match the evleak photo, brighter colors, fixed broken front USB center on v2
update v4: adjusted fingerprint shape based on evidence of alternate prototype, so it could be either v3 or v4 as two prototypes exist
update v5: bigger rear camera and flash/IR, antenna's location corrected based on latest leak, FP scanner, speaker, front camera and proximity corrected using the white photo
update v5a with Sense 8 mock-up: trying to show case how the M10 looks with black wallpaper thanks to Amoled and Sense 8 colors, Desire 825 capacitive buttons plus color tweaks here and there for better looks
update v6a: added the back chamfer matching the silver leak, hence rear camera combo gets smaller just a bit and the side tapers approach M9
update v7a: back chamfer is now more solid
update v8: added real Sense 8 icons
update 4/3/2016: the official M10 render was leaked, comparison with my mock-ups over here

corrections are based on my my latest measurements41Well guys, it's a sad day. For the first time since I started using Android, I won't be buying the HTC flagship. It's sad because I really love HTC phones, and I got my start as a developer on HTC phones. But I think it's time to move on. My sincere thanks to all the HTC community here for supporting my kernels and apps over the years. I hope people aren't let down by me not getting the U12. I'll continue to support my kernels for the 10 and U11.
Why am I not getting the U12? The honest answer is not enough users. I spend several thousand dollars per year on phones, supported by the revenues from my apps. It's pretty much a guarantee that I will lose money on the U12. I'm already really busy with more popular devices, so I can't justify spending another $1100 on a device that will have few users and require a lot of effort to maintain. HTC devices are a huge hassle to support compared to Pixel and OnePlus and even Moto. HTC still sends their kernel sources as a blob with no commit history, and they are routinely several months late in releasing them. Plus there are endless variants and weird HTC-specific quirks to deal with.
Back in the day, HTC was definitely the best. Phones like the One S and m7 really stood above the competition. Looking back, it was the m9 that killed HTC. It was really a dud. The brilliance of the HTC 10 couldn't make up for it and although the U11 was a fine phone, I just never enjoyed it as much as my other current phones, which have really progressed in the last couple years.
