This Taiwan-based company has announced a while back that the HTC 10 will be introduced in India on May 26th, which is today.

The phone will be available in Carbon Grey and Topaz Gold color variants, and it costs Rs. 52,990 ($788) in the country.

The fingerprint scanner is located below the display, and it doubles as a capacitive home key.
