A large phone that could be better

HTC Desire 10 Pro

Classy Design
HTC has thought of everything with the HTC Desire 10 Pro. It has some high-end design that will not look out of place on a flagship device. It has gold trim all around, and the soft-touch back is very luxurious for its level. We like all of the small touches that HTC has managed to think for the phone.

Mid-range Power
Mid-range is all the numbers here, as the Desire 10 Pro features the MediaTek Helio P10 processor which is not the highest end possible but it is more than enough for daily use and occasional intense processing. The 4GB of RAM will certainly help in making the experience of using the phone an enjoyable one.

Large Screen and Camera
The large 5.5-inch full HD display on the front means that every multimedia file you have stored in the phone will look gorgeous and expansive, thanks to the large screen. The 20 megapixel f/2.2 camera means that imaging is a joy to behold. For selfies, you have a 13 megapixel f/2.2 camera to capture you and your friends together.

We C no port
No Type-C here – HTC did not bestow the Desire 10 Pro with the latest connector

Big to Some?
Large size may be a turnoff to some users as the phone has a large 5.5-inch screen
