Bigger battery or fewer pixels on the display would be nice. I do like the feature to force games to run 1080p but in reality, that wouldn't save me any battery (don't game on my phone).
Doesn't differentiate itself much from anything else out there...solid phone but the pricing is probably going to let it down.

Incorrect image
It seems to be a great phone, hoping it will land in South Africa.
The picture in the article is not the HTC 10 that was launched. The picture in the article is that of the HTC Desire 825. Please update the image in the article.

That's way too much for that phone...this is going to fail like the M9 did.
OIS in the front and back camera, built-in high quality DAC, HTC Sense, sound that's an improvement on previous BoomSound speakers that came with the M8 / M9, beautiful design.
That's a few things that differentiate it from others that I could think of.
I am a touch biased, cause I have an M8. I wasn't blown away with the M9. But I am really impressed with the 10. If I were buying a new high end phone, I'd go with it without a doubt.

Cool, different strokes for different folks
Personally, nothing I see in the HTC 10 is a compelling argument to drop the Rand equivalent of $700. For example, the Xiaomi Mi5 offers rear camera OIS (the important camera!), same storage size options, same battery capacity, much more sensible 1080p screen, same chipset - all for ~$250 less). The improved audio is not something I would take advantage of and design is subjective - I don't see anything qualitatively different between the various glass-metal slabs we're shown nowadays.
I'm not a brand-fan though I get people have allegiances \ loyalties.
I had a HTC (Touch I think), a few years ago, 2008/9. Never again...This phone looks incredible. Always been a HTC fan since my last HTC device, but they have lost the plot recently. Seems they have got it back.
I want this phone!

You're basing this decision on 7/8 year old tech? I had a Sony X10 that was slow and clunky around 2009, but I still got later ones.

Nah, got a guy who wants to do me a favour who decided he'd buy me an HTC 10 (he know's I'm a big HTC fan). I just need to order it and he'll pick up the bill. He had a bad experience with Orange in the past so he doesn't want to go that route, so now I'm waiting patiently for HTC to [-]get their arse into gear[/-] launch the 10 locally.
