New HTC 10 commercial praises the phone's front-facing camera

Expected to start shipping in the US this week, the HTC 10 is one of this year's most powerful Android handsets (thanks to a Snapdragon 820 processor and 4 GB of RAM), replacing the One M9 as HTC's brand new flagship smartphone.

One of the unique features that the HTC 10 is bringing is its 5MP front-facing camera - the world's first front camera to have Optical Image Stabilization, which helps it deliver better photos (especially in low light scenarios). To make sure that people know about the front-facing shooter of the new device, HTC today released a short commercial that's full of selfies taken with the HTC 10. In fact, According to HTC, the entire commercial - embedded below - is shot on the new smartphone.

When we reviewed the HTC 10, we found that its front-facing camera is indeed pretty good, performing well in all lighting conditions. The handset's 12 MP rear camera is also very good - definitely an improvement over the cameras of HTC's older flagships.

Right now, you can pre-order the HTC 10 directly from HTC (unlocked), or from Verizon Wireless. Starting later this month, T-Mobile and Sprint will offer the phone as well.
