Forward-thinking HTC One M10 concept delivers all the design surprises HTC didn't
We know the HTC One M9 looks stunning, but ultimately, its looks are ever so last year's, aren't they? Well, if you too think HTC should ditch its "make-an-iconic-look" ambitions for a substantial design refresh, have a look at this HTC One M10 concept envisioned by Jermaine at androidjs.org. It makes the One M10 look exactly like a top-shelf Android smartphone could look in 2016, which means a unibody metal build with Gorilla Glass and HTC's love for metal elements sprinkled on top.
If HTC tried to make a product that looked a bit like the others - namely Apple and Samsung - without losing its identity in the ocean of copycats, this would be it! Although we have to say, we aren't very fond of the scratched aluminum look - gives out too much of a "plastic imitating metal" vibe, no?
Regardless, it's obvious that quite a bit of work went into this concept, so let's appreciate the good ideas. We're seeing a USB Type C jack on the bottom, right next to the 3.5mm jack. The volume buttons are moved to the top left side, leaving the power key on the right. We like the big in-your-face metal circle surrounding the camera lens on the back - it looks like a big ol' washer, but it gives the smartphone some personality.
