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

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: By now we're sure you caught our HTC One Day coverage throughout the day yesterday. If you didn't here's a quick recap; we took the HTC One X and the HTC One S on a long day trip to Manchester to see Manchester United play at Old Trafford. During the day,...
The One S is the best 4.3in Android device on the market when it comes to features, battery life and design. HTC Sense is simply the best pre-installed overlay available from a manufacturer...
Abstract: So on Sunday, I went to Old Trafford to see Manchester United take on Everton. For the whole day, the only devices I was using (aside from an iPad to stream/playback videos and content) was HTC's new One Series; I had both the One X and the One S with me....

Very slim good looks, beautiful screen, 1.5GHz dualcore processor,
Second fiddle to the One X, no memory expansion, no removable battery
If your pockets aren't quite deep enough for the high-end HTC One X you might well be tempted by the HTC One S. It has a luscious screen, a slightly more pocketable design, a powerful processor and Beats Audio technology too. No-one buys an HTC for the...
Abstract: It's difficult being the middle child. Your elder sibling gets all the attention thanks to their trail-blazing antics. They seem bigger, stronger and perhaps a bit smarter, their achievements casting a long shadow over your own. Meanwhile your younger bro...
The One S is the Panther tank to the One X’s Königstiger. Smaller, lighter, not as visually impressive nor perhaps as iconic but at the end of the day still a fine and versatile device for use in the real world. That said it has been deliberately hobb...
The HTC One S is one of the top Android phones. The HTC One X has a bigger, higher-resolution display and LTE connectivity (not much use in the UK for now). Hopefully the call quality issues I experienced with my test HTC One S are an isolated incident...
