One of the first things you'll notice is how fast the HTC One S can be. The HTC One S boots up in no time at all in comparison to some smartphones. Its 1.5GHz dual core processor makes all the difference
Really helping to add zip to multitasking and managing multiple applications and diving into mobile games. Whatever you use it for

The HTC One S features Android 4.0
But HTC still insists on caking in its HTC Sense 4 interface to accompany it
So you don’t quite get the full Android 4.0 experience. But that said
The interface is still lush
Featuring beautiful menu layouts. But there’s still little we dislike about the HTC One S.
Body highly sensitive to scratching (to be verified...)
Low memory for a multimedia smartphone (about 12 GB)
Abstract: At first glance, the HTC One S has a really sleek look, mainly as a result of its ultra-thin dimensions at only 7.8mm. Compared to other supposedly thin smartphones, the One S makes other models look bulky and cumbersome.The handset's 4.3 inch screen is o...
Very fast, HTC Sense 4 is easy to use, Excellent display, More pocketable than the One X, Good battery life
Could do with a tad more storage, No option to increase memory
So what do we think about the One S - is it the victim of middle-child syndrome? Well, no. For £70 pounds less than the One X, you lose 16GB of storage, NFC and a big display but you gain a much better battery life and a device that sits more happily in...

In those that don't like larger handsets such as the 4.7" One X or 4.8" Galaxy S 3 the One S may well find a bunch of fans. The screen offers some great blacks, decent clarity and overall the matt finish feels great with a size that is much easier to use ...

Great size, solid, sleek design, super-fast interface and web browsing, excellent video
Sonically it's bettered elsewhere, maximum 16GB internal memory
HTC's take on the Android 4.0 OS is delivered at lightning speed, video playback is very good and music more than adequate.If you're not smitten with the literal big boys in the Android family, the HTC One S could be the phone for you.See all our smartpho...
