HTC 10 vs Nexus 6P spec shootout: Beauty, brains and power

Our phone of the year and the winner of our Mobile Madness tournament has some real competition in the HTC 10, a brand new flagship from HTC. These are two of the most beautiful and powerful devices on the market, making this particular spec shootout very difficult to call. Yes, sure, the HTC 10 is clearly superior on paper, but the Nexus 6P still holds its own months after release, and that gold color is absolute perfection.

We saw a lot of the HTC 10 before it was actually announced, yet it still managed to surprise us. Its design is fantastic and HTC’s decision to step back away from duplicating apps appears to be a smart move. Nothing beats stock Android but HTC’s Sense is making a pretty good argument for the best skin on the market.

Check out the specs below to see how these two devices stack up.
