10 Exciting Official HTC 10 Accessories
The impressive new HTC 10 with its sleek metal curves and powerful front facing speakers is coming soon, with the release date set for early May. Once it arrives from carriers in the United States buyers will need cases, chargers, headphones and other accessories for the new flagship phone. Here are some exciting accessories for the HTC 10 made exclusively by HTC or their partners.
On April 12th HTC took the stage for an online event to announce a successor to the mildly popular HTC One M9 from 2015. That of course is the beautiful new HTC 10 with a fresh new look, cleaner and simpler version of Android, a great camera, fingerprint scanner and more. It’s HTC’s best smartphone in years and has a lot to offer.

During the announcement of this bold new smartphone HTC made sure they talked about a few accessories for the phone. Two being the new Dot View case, which has been popular in the past, and some unique new JBL headphones that connect via USB Type-C rather than a 3.5mm headphone jack. HTC has multiple exciting accessories, and below is everything buyers need to know.
The HTC 10 is stacking up to be their best phone in years, and one of the best Android devices of 2016. With a beautiful 5.2-inch display, powerful speakers with one front-facing, a fingerprint scanner, all aluminum design, with tons of power and an impressive new camera. It’s rounded out with the latest version of Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow and a large extremely fast charging 3,000 mAh battery.
This is what HTC needed to get back into the smartphone game and compete with Samsung or Apple, and they’ve done exactly that.
When it comes to buying accessories, cases, chargers, and more for smartphones we have a lot of options. However, being an HTC device the options won’t be as endless as Samsung or Apple users, which is why HTC made a few great choices themselves.
Almost everything detailed below is brand new, designed for the HTC 10, or relatively new from HTC and will compliment the smartphone wonderfully. Without further ado, here’s some official accessories for the HTC 10, made by or in partnership with HTC.

Why cant HTC release a Car Dock like they did for m7,m8 for this phone I spend a lot of time in my vehicle and need that charging cradle for my phone! I hate stupid universal docks, extra step involved if you want it charging. should be just plug and play.

I totally agree. The M8 cradle was very good indeed – I tried to adapt it but it was beyond my skill level!

If you want your Battery to stay factory fresh and last a very very long time. ONLY use the USB to charge it. Never plug in a fast charger.
The USB uses 3+ volts and the Plug in uses over twice that for a fast charge at the expense of the battery’s life. You will notice that the battery does not heat up with the USB charger and the plug in one will cook the battery to a noticeable amount. That is killing the battery.

Dan is confusing voltage with amperage. A USB port is always rated at 5V but most chargers use a lower voltage ~4V. It’s the amperage that gets cranked up to 2.4 or 3.0 by Quick Charge v2.0 or v3.0.
It’s true that charging more quickly at a higher amperage will shorten the life of most batteries of all types. However, it appears that Qualcomm has designed intelligent circuitry into the Quick Charge specs to prevent that. I have not noticed any difference in the temperature of the battery or case when comparing the Quick Charge 3.0 with an older 1A charger.
