HTC Bolt is a new smartphone that is exclusive to Sprint and it should not be confused with the old HTC Thunderbolt. The new phone emphasizes on speed, it's similar to HTC 10 with some new additions. It goes for $25 per month over 24 months on installment or $600 outright. The Bolt also serves as Sprint's medium to showcase their latest-generation LTE Plus network.
The HTC Bolt is equipped with a 5.5-inches Super LCD 3 panel with Quad-HD resolution (1440 x 2560 pixels) display and is protected by a curved-edge Gorilla Glass 5. It is powered by a tweaked octa-core 2.0GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 SoC coupled with 3GB of RAM.
Internal storage for this smartphone is 32GB that can be expanded through the microSD slot. It has great sounds for music lovers with its HTC BoomSound Adaptive Audio. Main camera at the back is 16-megapixel snapper featuring OIS, BSI sensor, f/2.0 aperture lens, dual-LED flash, and 4K video recording. For the front-facing camera, it’s an 8-megapixel selfies camera. It runs on HTC’s Sense UI on top of Android 7.0 Nougat.
