The HTC 10 may not be the commercial success HTC wanted and needed it to be, but this doesn’t meant it isn’t a great smartphone. Because it is! It looks great, it’s packed with powerful hardware, it has an awesome camera, and lots more.



If you’re looking to get a new phone for yourself or if you’re looking to gift a new phone to your partner, to a family member or a good friend, then I have some good news for you.

You can get the HTC 10 smartphone for a considerable discount right now and, come December, you may get the HTC 10 for free if you’re lucky enough to win one in HTC’s weekly sweepstakes.

Join Team HTC and get a considerable discount ahead of Black Friday

HTC has some great deals ready for Black Friday. If you want early access to these deals, all you have to do is join team HTC, the company’s rewards program that lets you earn perk points or perks every time you share, refer or make a purchase on HTC.com.

Joining Team HTC is as simple as going to this website where you will have to provide a bit of info about yourself. Once you’re a member of team HTC, you’ll get a coupon code by mail. Thanks to this coupon and thanks to the fact that the HTC 10 is currently discounted by $150, you’ll be able to purchase a new HTC 10 smartphone for $500 instead of $700.



Keep in mind that early access to Black Friday deals via Team HTC ends on November 14. So make sure to sign up before November 13 to access the deals, because it may take up to 24 hours to get the coupon code in your inbox.
