The flagship phone will need to stand up to two well-received smartphones\u2014the Galaxy S7 Edge and the LG G5\u2014in order to find success, and help HTC escape their current pit of failure. Today, leaked benchmarks suggest that the new phone may have an unexpected strength: significantly better performance compared to other leading smartphones. Let\u2019s take a look.<\/p>\n<p class=\"graf--p\">The HTC 10 pictured is running the AnTuTu benchmark app, a common choice for classifying smartphone performance. The HTC 10 is shown at the very top of the ranking, with a score of 156091.<\/p>\n<p class=\"graf--p\">That\u2019s a full 15% higher than the Galaxy S7 Edge or Xiaomi Mi 5, both of which come with the same Snapdragon 820 processor. Either HTC are running the CPU at a higher clock rate, they\u2019ve improved the phone\u2019s thermals better than their competitors, or they\u2019ve improved the phone\u2019s other components to account for the difference. HTC could also be running leaner software than Samsung or Xiaomi, which could account for the performance delta too. Of course, it\u2019s not guaranteed that this score is legitimate, either\u2014it could fairly easily be faked as well.<\/p>\n<p class=\"graf--p\">The photo reveals more than just the benchmark scores, too. You can see the bottom part of the phone, including a lozenge-shaped home button, and a large screen with minimal side bezels. The photo was taken with a Galaxy S7, which indicates that it\u2019s a fairly recent photo, too.<\/p>\n<p class=\"graf--p\">I guess we\u2019ll see whether the real HTC 10 measures up once it\u2019s announced on April 12th. Are you excited yet?!<\/p>\n\n<!-- WP QUADS Content Ad Plugin v. 2.0.27.4 -->\n<div class=\"quads-location quads-ad1\" id=\"quads-ad1\" style=\"float:none;margin:0px 0 0px 0;text-align:center;\">\n<div id=\"bari-widget\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yesterday we talked about the HTC 10, which is due to be revealed on April 12th.
