[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Nitemare3219:
Some of my thoughts since getting my 10 compared to my previous phone history, and particularly the 6P.

Display:

At first I really thought I was enjoying the display on the 10, but side by side with the 6P, the 10's display is too pinkish red even viewed directly (Tianma panel). White's do look a little better, just because they are cooler, but the 6P has a more accurate, true white (heads up guys, sRGB white is a warmish yellow white, not cool white), especially if you use sRGB mode - but you can also tune it to cool white with color profiles. Even at full warm in sRGB on the 10, it seems too pinkish red. The 6P is also nicer to view content on. OLED can't be beat by anything right now guys, sorry. Color saturation aside (I have both phones set to be slightly oversaturated, but I also tested in sRGB), contrast is everything in display quality. True black cannot be touched by an LCD. The ONLY thing the 10 does better is red based colors. Next to the 10, the 6P's reds look reddish orange. The 10 is using a quantum dot panel without a doubt to achieve better color gamut capability, especially in reds. Why they don't advertise this, I'm not sure. The 10 is also not all that much brighter than the 6P at all which surprised me. I also really dislike the smaller screen size.

Speakers:

The 10 is noticeably less loud and sounds a little strange sometimes due to placement, but the quality is better. The problem is the quality is not so much better that it makes up for the lack of volume.

Fingerprint:

I prefer the circle and rear placement of the 6P, but the 10's sensor is just as excellent. The only thing I don't like is that it briefly wakes the device prior to unlocking which looks weird and buggy. Going directly to the home screen on the 6P looks a lot cleaner and smoother.

Camera:

Haven't had much chance to compare, but I took some REALLY low light shots in my room last night, and the 10 produced much less noisy photos at every setting. Needs a lot more testing but as I suspected the camera should definitely be more capable than the 6P if used properly. I also noticed the front camera refuses to focus in Snapchat - hopefully just an app bug.

Sound quality:

Need to do side by side testing, but the 10 should win this hands down regardless. Very pleased so far.

Overall fluidity and feel:

Honestly the 6P on PureNexus with Franco's kernel feels smoother overall. As close as sense is to stock Android, it's not as impressive to me. I've always been a fan of stock and love the way it looks and works. HTC should have just made a GPE again.

Buttons:

I'm still not used to them. My brain is wired to Samsung's feel for capacitive and their placement so I constantly hit the wrong button. The home button feels a little awkward but good, if that makes sense. I do wish the buttons were up a little higher though. I am glad they used a capacitive home button.

My S7 Edge will be here Monday. If I have time I plan on comparing all 3 phones, particularly the cameras. I have no idea if I'll like the S7E due to lack of being unlocked right now. But right now if I had to choose between the 10 and 6P, I'd probably stick with the 6P. The 10 is a great phone. For me, if it would've had a larger, OLED display, it would've been perfect. But since the display is what I use the phone for 99% of the time, it kind of makes sense to choose the best option available there.
