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)
Light and compact 4.3incher with premium metal chassis, Snappy subsecond camera, Very good call quality, Bright screen with good outdoor visibility, Free 25GB Dropbox and SkyDrive integration
Video capture is slow to start, Fiddly focus in Macro mode, Very poor outdoor photos, Unintuitive web browser
The HTC One S might be the middle child in the new One lineup, but it can’t realistically be called mid-range just because the screen is qHD instead of HD. Upper mid-range would be a good fit, if you are a categorization nazi. We loved the compact and...
Abstract: HTC has a long tradition in manufacturing unique high-quality smartphones and while the company might have lost its focus a little bit last year, it's definitely back with its new HTC One-series, which HTC announced at the recent Mobile World Congress ...
It’s tough not to like the HTC One S’ physical feel. The design is subtle and discrete; it’s more how the smartphone feels in your hand that proves alluring. HTC’s metal-bodied phones have always felt sturdy, but the combination of sub-8mm thinness in...
Abstract: Aaron takes a look at the global HTC One S , one of the three Ice Cream Sandwich-powered phones HTC announced at Mobile World Congress earlier in the year. The HTC One S offers a 1.5 GHz dual-core Snapdragon S4 processor, 4.3-inch Super AMOLED display (54...
There's a belief that being the middle child brings awkwardness. The "Middle Child Syndrome," it's called. Chances are if you have (or are) a middle sibling, you'll find a way for this to be true. The HTC One S is the middle child of the HTC One family, f...
Sumptuous design, Sets new performance benchmark, ImageSense camera software is a boon, Exceedingly thin
Pentile AMOLED display is no match for a good LCD, Sense 4 holds ICS back, Beats Audio is a gimmick, Silver model isn't treated with microarc oxidation

Screen is already outclassed
The One S could be HTC's flagship: it's far ahead of its rivals performance-wise and looks great. However the screen is slightly lacking, particularly compared to its bigger brother's....

Abstract: The international version of the HTC One S has been available for a few weeks already and now customers in the U.S. can purchase the phone from T-Mobile for $199.99 (after $50 mail-in rebate) with a new two year contract. HTC was kind enough to send us a ...
