8 Coolest Smartphones Coming In 2016

5. HTC One M10 Another one for rumour lovers, HTC€™s newest mobile hasn€™t yet broken cover, but there€™s plenty to be excited about. Aside from the Taiwanese manufacturer potentially ditching the €˜One€™ branding, there€™s a lot to suggest that the M10 €“ which could well be HTC€™s make-or-break mobile €“ will be a seriously sleek machine. Likely to be an all-aluminium affair, several sources point towards waterproof wizardry on the M10, alongside fingerprint functionality, USB Type-C, and a screen just bigger than 5in. Recent HTC hardware has been beautiful, to say the least, but the pairing of internal specs with speedy software hasn€™t always been so seamless. Battery life, too, has been a problematic aspect in the past. For a company so publicly struggling, the M10 will be a fascinating and potentially fortune-deciding device. The One M8 was a magical machine; the M9 a subtle improvement. Here€™s hoping €“ for HTC€™s sake, if nothing else €“ the M10 is perfection.
