HTC 10 Lifestyle
The HTC 10 Lifestyle will stand in place
of the proper HTC 10 in some parts of the world, India so far confirmed. Much
like the LG G5 in certain regions, the HTC 10 Lifestyle comes with a Snapdragon
652 chipset, where the Snapdragon 820 should have been, and it only gets 3 GB of
RAM and a single 32 GB storage option.
The other downgrade is LTE speed, but it
comes as part of the chipset package. As opposed to the HTC 10's Cat.9 (450 Mbps
down, 50 Mbps up), the 10 Lifestyle only gets Cat.6 (300 Mbps/50 Mbps).
The rest is thankfully all the same.
That includes the 5.2-inch QHD Super LCD 5 display and class-leading camera
setup. On the back that means a 12 MP UltraPixel 2 shooter with 1.55 micron
pixels, f/1.8 aperture, and optical image stabilization. Selfies get the OIS
treatment too (that's a first), resolution is 5 MP and aperture is f/1.8 too.
The HTC 10 Lifestyle measures 145.9 x
71.9 x 9.0 mm and weighs 161 grams, which, you guessed it, is the same as the proper
HTC 10. Battery capacity is 3,000 mAh, there's Quick Charge 3.0 support and a
rapid is bundled, so at least HTC didn't skimp on that.
