HTC 10 - worth the effort?



Could use some advice.

So, I live in an arctic wasteland called Canada, where we essentially only have 3 major mobile providers that control the market and only 1 of those carries the HTC 10. I'm on a corporate plan at work that uses one of the other 2 mobile providers, so switching to that mobile provider isn't an option (and given I'm cheap, neither is the 9 before tax sticker price to buy it unlocked).

A family member is off-contract at the moment with the HTC 10 carrier, so I could use their 'upgrade eligibility' to get a unit and then spend another to unlock it. If there is a problem, then I will obviously have to go through the family member to return the phone, get warranty support etc.

If my mobile provider carried the HTC 10 it would be a no-brainer, but I'm wondering whether it's really worth the effort, especially when there are a lot of reviewers that claim the S7's AMOLED screen, camera and waterproofing make it a better choice. In Canada we get the Exynos 8890 version of the S7 if you think that is a trump card or not? (and sorry in advance to my American friengs for using the word Trump in a sentence).

Appreciate your views on whether this phone is worth jumping through these hoops, or should I just give up and take the S7 easy road?
