The power of 10: Photographer social media Grryo posts camera samples of the new HTC 10

Grryo has published a blog post, explaining that a bunch of its photographers have had their hands on the HTC 10 for a few days, and they were tasked with taking the phone for a ride around their hometowns' landmarks. Currently, we can see photos from three different cities, but the post claims that there will be more in the near future and encourages us to follow the hashtags #HTC10 and #PowerOf10.
Just recently, we also saw Huawei partner up with photography community EyeEm to promote the dual camera-equipped Huawei P9 in a very similar manner. Are we seeing a new marketing fad developing?

It's OK but so far I have not seen anything groundbreaking yet based on everything I have seen. I would take aperture of f1.7 any day over any others any day. S7 is still better based on my own photographer eyes. And BTW calling these amateurs photographers is embarrassment to the whole photographer community. All those images posted here are well below average amateur work what we would call in photography. Most if not all are unrealistic and over-processed HDR images that look mediocre and and poorly composed as well. It's possible to get pretty professional looking results from just about any camera phone but these are very poor examples of that.

Thanks for that.
HTC is producing slightly warmer picture comparatively and S7 seems to be over-sharpening things a bit. Overall, S7's photo look brighter in low-light but M10 seems slightly more accurate.That's just my amateur assessment tho but a very close match indeed.

Dynamic range and details are quite good...even with the night shots. I can make out noise here and there though.
Well, i bet these are professionally edited ones so it can look good no matter how bad an image is.

ever heard of HDR and over-processing? These are not professionally edited by any means

I was gonna say that. Number 3 is very heavy with HDR.

Those look heavily touched up, no?

To you and all those talking about the images being touched up - I'm sorry do you know a single thing about post editing/post production? If you wanted untouched images you should just wait for a full review by some YouTuber or some internet site. If you want photography then you're gonna expect the images to be edited. Name me ONE professional photographer that doesn't edit their photos, just takes the picture then publishes it. Why do you think people love RAW photos/videos? All so that they can edit it to their hearts content.

I have processed thousands of RAW Nikon images in the last 15 years or so... it all comes down how you process them. I will tell you one thing that this is not how any of us process our images otherwise we would not be around long.

Depends what you go for. There are different types of photographers out there, some post process more some less. More often than not you see more "modern" photography being taken with deeper contrast and sharpening to exaggerate effects. Didn't say anything about it looking good.

Only a stupid person would believe that these images are untouched

And just as stupid to think he was trying to publish untouched photos.

These are neither bad nor impressive. I actually expected a worthy GS7 camera competitor.

No, this will not happen. The Galaxy S and Note series camera quality are always superior to the rivals and history tends to repeats itself I think. Just like HTC, you know how many time did it promise great camera from its flagship phones? Yet it never delivered. I think HTC should know it's place and not brag too much about that or it will lose even more consumers confidence. Its sale performance explains everything.

Just stay contented with your S6 Edge camera. There is always a first for everything so nothing can count HTC out yet.
On the other hand, you can try joining RichardYarell in applying for a job at Samsung as PR manager. They will surely consider you.
