The Bolt is HTC's first fully submersible smartphone built with an aluminum body with an IP57 rating but HTC would not be happy if you "intentionally submerge HTC Bolt" but that goes for most manufacturers of waterproof phones these days. The HTC Bolt has a large 5.5-inch screen and its design is very derivative of the HTC 10, down to the beveled edge on the back, and even with the same color finishes: Gunmetal and Glacial Silver (The HTC 10's was called Graphite, not Gunmetal). Hence the endorsement of Usain Bolt, the world's fastest man. Sprint is calling the HTC Bolt: Sprint's fastest phone ever. The HTC Bolt is the first smartphone on Sprint's network to launch with 3X20 MHz Carrier Aggregation which is supported on Qualcomm's X10 LTE modem. HTC has now teamed up with another US carrier, Sprint, to release an exclusive device which introduces a new connectivity feature (though hardly as ground-breaking). Sitting in a press room and listening to the presentation hosted by HTC, the first thing that came to mind as we learned about the new HTC Bolt was the Verizon-exclusive HTC Thunderbolt, a successful smartphone from 2011 (it was Verizon's first 4G LTE smartphone).
