HTC 10 engineering development machine exposed: equipped with pressure-sensitive screen + ultrasonic fingerprint

Last night was destined to be a restless night for HTC.

Last night, HTC only released one HTC 10 Lifestyle as the Chinese version, and the hardware was also greatly reduced, but the price was much lower than the international version, only 3799 yuan. But even with the good price, it still couldn't resist the anger of the majority of fans.

Recently, the well-known whistleblower Upleaks said that the final HTC 10 did not reach the perfection that HTC claimed, and revealed that the early engineering machines of HTC 10 were actually equipped with many advanced technologies, including pressure-sensitive screens and ultrasonic fingerprint recognition , but they were all cut off by HTC in the end...

Upleaks revealed that HTC had considered adding Force Touch and ultrasonic fingerprint, but they were eventually removed because AOSP (Android Open-Source Project) did not provide native support for Force Touch, and the recognition rate of ultrasonic fingerprint was too low.

Judging from the renderings he released, the appearance of the early HTC 10 engineering machine is completely different from the current mass production version.

The power button, volume button, and card slot are all on the left side of the phone. The front camera is not as big as it is now. The earpiece is also designed completely differently. Even the Home button is symmetrical. However, the metal body and high-gloss chamfers of the HTC 10 have been retained.
