At this point there isn't much to say other than it's a solid flagship device from a manufacturer that I wouldn't have considered based on what I had read. That says more about the lack of true journalism these days than it does about the product itself. HTC is in dire financial straits but that didn't stop them from building one hell of a device. As I mentioned before, the only personal gripe I have is the max screen brightness not being what I prefer. My senior project manager would probably love it because he has his phone set at about 25% brightness all the time. Maybe he's part owl, I don't know.
What I do know is that this phone is easily in the top 5 today. Even though battery life is excellent, a bigger capacity battery would put it in the "holy s**t!" category. It easily lasts one of my days but it has less left in the tank than say, my GS8+. Another concern is directed at HTC and not the device itself and that's security updates. It's still on the December 2017 patch which is ****-poor. My Windows phones are on March 2018.
