HTC 10 launch: Where and when to watch the online-only global event live

Taiwanese smartphone manufacturer HTC is all set to launch the company's upcoming flagship HTC 10, which could be a game changer for the company. Without going in for a media event or starry launch at a trade show the company is keeping it simple with an online-only event that will be streamed live.

HTC had launched one of its older phones, the HTC A9, in a similar fashion with the company representative talking about the phone and its features. However, on that occasion, some camera angles made it difficult to take a good look at the phone.

The phone is set to feature Quad HD screen with a Snapdragon 820 processor, 4GB of RAM, plus 32GB of internal storage that can be expanded via a microSD card slot. The M10 is slated to be powered by a 3000mAh battery with Qualcomm's Quick Charge 3.0 capability, which can power the phone up to 83% in just 30 minutes. As for software, the device is set to run on Android's latest OS 6.0.1 Marshmallow with HTC Sense 8, the company's customised UI.

Leaked photos claiming to be that of the model have flooded the internet with the famed tipster handle @OnLeaks constantly tweeting information on the device including the first looks of the phone.

Dutch website GSM Helpdesk has also unveiled a photo just a day before the launch leading us to believe this could be the design we are likely to see.
