HTC One S review: Onederful

11 April 2012
The HTC One S is the middle child of the One family but it just might be the brightest and best looking too. Inside the slender metal case is a treasure chest of new technology - the brains behind the beauty in this piece of smartphone alchemy...

      Dude, 29 Apr 2012Qualcomm announces Snapdragon S4 MSM8960 Pro SoC just after... moreThe Pro chipset was already in their line up for a while now (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snapdragon_(system_on_chip))

      And also, the HTC One S isn't their flagship phone so it's impractical to put that SoC into it.

        Just got mine today, this phone is freaky awesome !! :) I just love the 7,9mm tiny body and qHD works ok for me. I just registered my account on dropbox, got additional 23gb + 11gb on phone is just enough for me, i am not that freak anyway :) For now, i am so happy with this phone, also sense 4.0 and ice cream sandwich, perfect combination, much better than on my old desire S :)

                    I am personally ok with the storage space, as I don't do much with movies or music. The only flaw I found is, when holding in portrait, if you hold on the right side and your finger touches the top right corner,( by on / off switch) you lose alot of wifi and cellular signal. Once you lower your fingers,signal returns in about ten seconds. Other than this, exfellent phone!!

                              TwiblacK, 13 Apr 2012which is better in terms of sound the HTC One S or the One ... moreWell to be honest i havnt experienced the sound on ONE s but i have both the XE and the ONE x. The sensation Xe has the worst loud speaker so i guess according to the reviews the ONE s wins it but i dont find the one x bad either you can always go to a store and check it yourself even if you dont know how to test you can choose what you think is the best cause thats all that matters

                                    WL, 13 Apr 2012Someone please answer me, is it the 2GB is only for the app... moreYes 2gb is for your apps. 10gb for storage (photos, music etc).
                                    The other memory (4gb) is taken up by there apps and config.
