Samsung has offered both wireless charging standards in its Galaxy S phones for the last two years, and claims to have managed wireless speeds that are faster than some company's walled charger methods - so perhaps it's high time HTC joined the party too.

This device, which runs Android Marshmallow and is powered by a Snapdragon 820 processor, follows similar design lines as its predecessors, but comes with a streamlined, simplistic approach in terms of messaging and user experience.

The body of the HTC 10 is carved out of a single piece of aluminum and its 5.2-inch curved-edge Gorilla Glass display blends directly into the body.

Earlier this morning, HTC announced its new smartphone, the HTC 10, revealing that the Android device will have the ability to wirelessly play audio through devices and speakers that support streaming via Apple's AirPlay feature (via SlashGear).

The HTC 10 is available for pre-order now starting at $700.

As for the cameras, the HTC 10 packs in 12MP (UltraPixel) unit as the primary that features an f/1.8 aperture, laser AF and OIS along with a dual LED flash. When you finally decide to charge it, you'll be able to get it back up and running quickly through the support of Quick Charge 3.0 through its USB Type-C port. Cameras come in the form of a 12-megapixel rear camera which is neatly coupled with a 5-megapixel front-facing option. That model comes with 32GB of built-in storage (you can add more with a microSD card) and a $699 price tag.

For starters the HTC 10 will have a new BoomSound technology; HTC skipped its BoomSound speakers with the previous flagship device, the One A9.

You'll notice that throughout this article we've referred to the next HTC flagship as the HTC 10. It could well be called the HTC One M10, but we'll have to wait and see. Like most devices these days, rumours were rife about the spec and it seems they were on the money for the most part.
