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)
  • Low pixel density for 2012
  • No microSD card slot
  • Display could be better
  • Storage limited with no expansion options
  • Lack of sharpness on display
  • Limited memory
  • No SD slot
  • MicroSIM is a pain for some
  • Keyboard has seen better days
  • Call quality can be slightly tinny
  • Could do with a tad more storage
  • No option to increase memory
  • Sonically it's bettered elsewhere
  • Maximum 16GB internal memory
  • Second fiddle to the One X
  • No memory expansion
  • No removable battery
