  • Solidly built; simple, attractive design; improved Sense UI software; comes with latest Android 2.3.
  • Short battery life; microSD slot under battery; can't make cellular video calls.
  • This Android 2.3 smartphone has a solid and attractive unibody design and comprehensive feature set, but falls short when it comes to battery life. ...

  • When we first made its acquaintance, the HTC Desire S was on display at this year's MWC in Barcelona along with the Incredible S and the Wildfire S. Each phone in this trio is no more perhaps than a transitional model, a facelift that doesn't even warrant...

  • Unibody design; 1.1GB built-in storage; runs smoothly on Android 2.3; enhanced Sense interface.
  • Nothing major.
  • It's no surprise that the HTC Desire S is a better phone than the original because it has been improved in almost all areas. For instance, the extra storage space is a welcome addition because you can now keep more apps and files on the smartphone. Th...

  • Sturdy aluminum build, Acceptable battery life, Smooth user experience
  • Lackluster camera capabilities, No groundbreaking improvements
  • Judging the 'S'The Desire S retains what we liked about the Desire - portability and performance. Just like its predecessor, it is small, fitted with an acceptable 3.7-inch screen, a standard 5-megapixel camera and a powerful processor. However, we have t...

  • Even when most people think that the HTC Desire S is just an upgraded HTC Desire, well it's true. But experience-wise, it feels like a totally different phone. If it's an upgrade from the Desire, it's a much-needed upgrade.I really can't say anything bad ...

  • Sleek hardware design, Improved performance and battery life, Good price point
  • Camera functions, while improved, still leaves a lot to be desired, Feels like the Desire S is just a stopgap product for the next generation of dualcore handsets
