HTC is back with another new smartphone called the Evo.
This refreshed device takes most of its design and features from the HTC 10 but the Taiwainese tech giant has added some bonus extras.
Officially named the HTC 10 Evo, this smartphone lands in your hand with a 5.5-inch Quad HD display that's made from ultra-strong Gorilla Glass.
As well as having a tough screen, HTC has now made this all-metal phone water and dust resistant with the firm boasting it will easily withstand dunks or spills.
There's also an upgraded 16-megapixel rear-facing camera which features phase detection autofocus, dual LED flash, optical Image Stabilisation and 4K video recording with Hi-Res Audio.
Powering the HTC 10 Evo is a 3,200mAh battery which features Qualcomm Quick Charge technology.
THere's also a Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 processor and the devices ships with either 32GB or 64GB of expandable memory.
And you'll get Android 7.0 Nougat out of the box which makes this one of the only non-Google smartphones running this latest software.
There's also a fingerprint scanner on the front of the Evo and HTC's Freestyle Layout frees you from an on-screen grid and lets you fully customise your phone.
All these features sound and look impressive but there's one thing users may not be so keen on.
HTC has followed Apple's iPhone 7 and removed the headphone port from the Evo.
This means music fans will either have to connect their cans via Bluetooth or plug them in via the USB-C charging port.
Luckily the HTC 10 Evo does includes USB Type-C adaptive earphones in the box - a first for HTC.
The HTC 10 evo will be available in the UK exclusively on htc.com in Gunmetal and Glacier Silver.
Prices and release date are expected to be announced in the coming days.
