The User Experience and User Interface When it comes to visual appeal, both of these ROMS look closely related to the  stock Vanilla Android  experience offered by Google which is great as the overall performance increases when the unnecessary skinning is offloaded, however, both of the alternatives to stock have some tricks up their sleeves to offer customizations to the ones seeking it. Audio When it comes to fine tuning the audio, Cyanogen OS relies on Audio FX (earlier known as DSP Manager on CyanogenMod) whereas OnePlus takes a similar approach to the feature with its Audio Tuner app.Both are equally good. Root Access On Cyanogen, it is literally just 7 taps away. Just tap your Build number 7 times on the about section of the phone to enable Developer Options and you will find the option to enable Root Access inside it. On Oxygen OS, you have to take the conventional route to root. Customization Cyanogen OS has a clear win in this department wit...

The HTC 10 spec sheet is right up there with the rest of the 2016 flagships. There's a 2.15GHz Snapdragon 820, 4GB of RAM, and decently fast storage. As a result, the HTC 10 does about as well as everything else released this year. The Snapdragon 820 dumps the ARM Cortex CPU architecture that was present in the Snapdragon 810 and switches to Qualcomm's new 64-bit Kryo cores. The 820 has a four-core architecture with two 2.1GHz Kryo cores for heavy lifting and two 1.6GHz cores for idle and background tasks. Since it's only four cores, it's not going to dominate multi-core benchmarks compared to the eight-core Snapdragon 810—there's a big boost in single core performance, but there are also fewer cores. If there are still any loyal HTC customers out there, a move from last year's HTC One M9 to the HTC 10 will be a bigger upgrade than most. Overall a phone to boost the sales of HTC as a brand.
