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: HTC and T-Mobile have a lot in common. For months, both companies have been struggling to find a standout phone. And now, with the launch of the new HTC One S, both companies have a true home run on their hands. HTC's One S is a premium phone and the e...

The HTC One S is the more sophisticated handset out of the comparison with the Galaxy S II. It has the better design, faster camera and processor, and Sense 4.0 is much better woven into Android ICS than TouchWiz.The Samsung Galaxy S II compensates ve...
I won’t beat around the bush: when the HTC One S launches on April 25th for $199.99, it will be one of the best smartphones T-Mobile has ever launched. In fact, it might be the best.HTC had a lot to prove with its One-series smartphones, and in terms o...
Beautiful designFantastic cameraGood battery lifeImpressive performanceSense 4 is unobtrusive
Display is a little underwhelming
Don't mess with a good thing -- that's clearly, wisely and rightfully the approach T-Mobile chose to follow when minting its own version of HTC's One S....
When you are given a short 2 or 3 days to review a phone, it's tough to feel like you really got to know it inside and out. However, since the One S is basically just a smaller version of the One X, with a smaller screen and build, this was pretty eas...
Slim and attractive design, Gorgeous Super AMOLED screen, Speedy camera, Sleek Sense UI on top of Android 4.0,
T-Mobile 4G Network can be spotty, Mediocre battery life,
The HTC One S provides a compelling combination of style and performance, along with a powerful camera and an attractive Sense Interface that enhances Android 4.0.

The HTC One S is one of our top picks among Android smartphones. Not only is it one of the few to run Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, we also like the evolution of HTC Sense. The gorgeous, elegant and durable anodized aluminum unibody casing, impossib...

The HTC One S manages to pack Android ICS, Sense 4, and a feature-filled camera into one of the slimmest phones on the market
The One S' svelteness comes at the cost of no SD card expansion slot or removable battery
The HTC One S is the best phone you can get on T-Mobile (for now), wrapping Android 4.0, 4G data speeds, and a beautiful 4.3-inch AMOLED screen into one svelte package.
