T-Mobile unboxes the HTC 10 at 10,000 feet above Las Vegas

After unboxing the Samsung Galaxy S7 underwater, and the LG G5 inside a speedy racing car, T-Mobile USA today unboxed the brand new HTC 10 in yet another unusual manner. The Uncarrier took the HTC 10 to Las Vegas, and, with the help of a helicopter, unboxed it at 10,000 feet (that's 3 km) up in the air.

The unboxing itself - which you can watch below - doesn't reveal anything that we didn't already know about the HTC 10, though it's worth mentioning that the smartphone comes with a charger supporting Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0.

On paper, the HTC 10 looks very good, definitely being able to stand next to other flagship handsets of this year, like the aforementioned Samsung Galaxy S7 and LG G5. The highlight features of the new metal-made HTC smartphone include a 5.2-inch Quad HD display, a Snapdragon 820 processor, 4 GB of RAM, BoomSound, a 12 MP UltraPixel rear camera, and Android Marshmallow with Sense 8.0 UI.

The HTC 10 is already available to pre-order from HTC's official US website. However, for now, only the unlocked version can be ordered, costing $699. T-Mobile, Verizon, and Sprint (but not AT&T) should start selling the handset in the coming weeks. Let us know if you're planning to buy it, okay?
