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
Really helping to add zip to multitasking and managing multiple applications and diving into mobile games. Whatever you use it for

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)
Super thin and light with an attractive unique style. No problems with call quality or battery life. Premium materials add an upscale feel and 4G speeds are fast, when you can get a 4G signal. Photo software is topnotch. 25GB of free storage from Dropbox
Protruding camera lens is begging for scuffs and scratches. Display is pixelated, not high definition. Beats Audio doesn't make anything sound better, just louder. And while it has Beats Audio technology, it doesn't come with Beats earbuds
Abstract: The HTC One S was announced alongside the HTC One X (be sure to read our full review) and the One V during Mobile World Congress in February. The One S, spec-wise, sits right between the two phones, but it's not really much of a downgrade from the One X. ...
Overall the HTC One S is a fabulous phone and has wonderful hardware. It does what it needs to do and it's got fabulous benchmarking scores. Unfortunately, Sense slows that experience down and makes the phone feel slower than it should. Combine that w...
Long story short you can't go wrong with these two handsets – they perform very well and look good in the process. The iPhone 4S has this halo of an Apple product that is hard to beat for the guy on the street, but about the only area that the HTC One...

Abstract: HTC has not been having a good time of it lately. The company recently posted that first-quarter profits for 2012 were down 70 percent on the same quarter in 2011. The smartphone sector is very competitive, and HTC needs to pull something impressive out o...
Abstract: HTC knows it has to deliver in 2012. The past few months haven’t been kind to the veteran Android manufacturer, with tumbling revenues and unrelenting competition from Samsung and Apple. And so, as it hopes to reclaim some lost glory, HTC has launched ...
In line with the intent to simplify its phone portfolio, HTC has made the One series trio pretty distinct from each other, and the final verdict in our One X vs One S comparison is very easy. If you are a sucker for large and brilliant HD screens, you...
HTC's One S is the thinnest, fastest high-end phone we've seen to date and the new aluminum-turned-ceramic material feels great.One can argue that the phone looks a bit bland, it sticks with HTC's traditional design and it will not turn heads, but this is...
