The HTC X10 rumored to come in January, follows One X9

China received a special sub-flagship device from HTC early this year that was supposed to shore up what the One A9 could not. Apparently, the standard of success for the device was met and there now comes a second.

Rumors on the HTC X10 — maybe that phone in Russia we saw way earlier on — make it out to be a pretty decent device with a MediaTek Helio P10 processor (ironically not the Helio X10 found on the One X9), 3GB of RAM, a 5.5-inch full HD screen and a 13-megapixel main camera.

Given that this is a phone from HTC, we’d expect the X10 to be somewhat overpriced. Though, at a rumored ¥2,000 or $288, we’ll have to see more details first. We believe that this phone may come in January — well before a speculative HTC 11 and perhaps separate from a potential Under Armour gear showcase.

Then there are phones like the HTC One X9 which seem to positively explode onto the scene with a rapidly increasing series of higher and higher quality until we reach the point where the phone might as well be out already. Just yesterday we took a look at what was ...

China’s FCC counterpart confirms controversial HTC One X9 design and specs

But let’s not be so hard on the awkward iPhone/Nexus 6P cross.Sure, it looks odd, and it falls short of what you’d call a 2016 Android powerhouse. Even a 2015 beast.

New HTC One X9 render stars a Nexus 6P-similar rear camera design

More copying accusations? Not exactly, as Google and Huawei can’t claim the invention of awkward camera bulges, with ZTE adamant it actually came first, and Nokia before both Chinese manufacturers the creator of a then original though arguably unappealing 808 PureView design.Bottom line, if the ...

Next HTC flagship isn’t codenamed M10 either, Snapdragon 820 should be inside

The champions of brand dilution and product confusion will probably not strike again with a disorienting One X9 hero, nor might they look to continue their now traditional high-end naming scheme with a One M10.Another semi-reliable Twitter tipster joins the speculation games to adamantly refute the M10 moniker, which may not sound very important, but most likely suggests a long overdue ...
