HTC Bolt vs HTC 10: X key differences

Today, HTC announced it's latest carrier-exclusive handset and that's none other that the HTC Bolt we've been telling you about for some time. Available from Sprint right now, it's a device that is a bit similar to the HTC 10, the company's current flagship, but also has a few key differences that are worth highlighting. First of all, the HTC Bolt is essentially the first Android phone completely made of aluminum that's water-resistant to some point - the device is IP57-certified and will survive brief submersions underwater.

There's also no headphone jack on this one, just as we suspected. Users will have to rely on the USB 2.0 Type-C jack in order to listen to their favorite tunes.

Also, it's worth noting that the HTC Bolt is not that cutting edge when it comes to hardware specs - we can safely say it's employing last-year specs. Bummer. Anyhoo, without durther digress, we will now show you how the phone differs from the HTC 10 in less than 10 ways.
