Two modules are also available for the device, one has an additional battery and controls for a camera, while the other is a HiFi audio player. As for colors, the device comes in gold, pink, silver, and titan. Coming to the HTC 10, which has not yet been released, Android Authority estimates it would have a metal body like the previous year's flagship.

Leaked renders have also indicated that the device could come in gold, gray, and a silver/gold combination.
