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)
The HTC One S runs the latest Android version and is a well-made, well-specified handset. The camera has some very nice features, but some people will be disappointed by the lack of removable storage. Pros: Well sized for the hand and pocket, with good b...
Me, I love this phone. Camera, great. Design, great. OS, great. Added stuff? Great. Build quality? Great. Speed? Great. That thing in front of the fire-place? Grate.Bad points? Umm. No microSD card. No dedicated camera button. Are those bad things really...

The HTC One S is a fantastic phone with a lovely design and its ability to cram so much in a phone so thin. Its camera and performance throughout is exceptional. If you’re looking for a new smartphone, the HTC One S should be near the top of your list....
Storage limited with no expansion options, lack of sharpness on display
This is a slim, nicely designed device with a fabulous snapper and a tough, yet slim chassis

Design, performance, battery life, Android 4 and Sense 4 work nicely
Display could be better, no microSD card slot
Although it doesn't hit all the highest points on the spec sheet, the HTC One S is a great performer. The display could be better, but you can't argue with the solid battery performance and lighter, fresher, UI....

Very fast and responsive; Ice Cream Sandwich; Latest HTC Sense is easy to use; Good 8-megapixel camera; Slender but sturdy form
No microSD card slot
The One S is the Goldilocks choice of HTC's new Ice Cream Sandwich-packing range -- neither too big nor too small, and with just the right amount of oomph under the hood allowing it to throw pixels around like a hyperactive clubber throws shapes....
