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)
As for the signal reception quality, this handset has produced positive impressions only. There have been no problems with finding the network and, according to my subjective opinion, this one works even better than the flagship model. The voice speak...
Display is insufficiently sharp, Nonexpandable memory, Boring design, No dedicated camera button
With the One S, HTC has created a new market category of smartphones which could be called an ‘alternative flagship'. We are talking about a device whose each specification almost matches those of the currently most powerful smartphones on the market, and...

Excellent build design and sleek look, The fastest Android phone there is, Excellent battery life over WiFi
Camera quality is soso, with soft photos and alltooeasy blur, Software and phone crashing is completely unacceptable, Even with a 4.3″ screen, TMobile's most important phone yet should have a 720p display
A very solid Android phone, and the fastest one tested thus far, but with an only-OK camera and som...
Android 4,0; dualcore Snapdragon S4 processor means you'll experience zero lag; extremely thin and totally sexy; goodlooking display; terrific camera features
Pentile display; nonremovable battery; no microSD card slot; camera oversaturates bright colors
All in all, the One S is a fantastic phone and has plenty of reasons to gain your adoration. It's thin and infinitely sexy, has an amazing display, features the newest version of Android along with the newest version of Sense UI, has a lighting-fast proce...

If youre already on T-Mobile, seeking an upgrade, then totally. Its fast, sleek, and pretty excellent. If youre in between contracts, then its not worth switching over for. The HTC One X on AT&T and the HTC Evo 4G LTE on Sprint are both better phones...
