The HTC Bolt was introduced by the mobile company HTC offered exclusively to Sprint network as its most recent fastest phone. The former flagship phone HTC 10 was exclusive to Verizon and HTC has teamed up with Spring to exclusively offer the device to its subscribers.
The Sprint-exclusive HTC Bolt is the fastest device in the network which will be launched with 3x20 MHz Carrier Aggregation compatible with Qualcomm X10 LTE modem.

The battery pack is 3200mAh with Quick Charge 2.0 via the USB-C slot.

It has pre-installed HTC Boost+ app which is a disk cleaner for the phone. The front fingerprint scanner unlocks in 0.2 seconds, according to GSM Arena.
The HTC Bolt has also removed its 3.5mm headphone jack. Instead, it has a USB-C port to be able to listen to music, and the audio comes with a BoomSound Adaptive Audio.
