HTC One S Review

HTC One S is a complete device released many years ago, with a 4.3-inches multi touch screen, a high performance Dual-Core processor speeding at 1700 megahertz, an 8 megapixels back side camera and a 0.3 mega-pixels front camera. Let's take a closer sight of what this device can do.

This cellphone is powered by an exceptional Dual-Core CPU clocking at 1700 MHz, packed into the Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Plus MSM8260A system chip and only 1 GB RAM memory which is a bit low for such a solid device. To help with graphic rendering, it also counts with an Adreno 220 GPU working at 266 megahertz. This cellphone comes with a quite large 16 GB internal memory and whereas it doesn't have an external SD slot, it is enough to store a couple hundred applications, although it may not be enough if you are planning to install a couple of the largest games available nowadays.

HTC did an amazing optimization job making the HTC One S weight only 4.22 ounces. This phone is incredibly thin and good-looking, with a thickness of just 0.31 inches.

The HTC One S features two cameras, an 8 mega-pixels back facing camera and a 0.3 MP front-facing camera. It is capable of shooting videos in Full HD 1920x1080 at 29 fps. In addition, the camera includes many amazing characteristics: flash, auto-focus, digital image stabilization, fast burst mode, smile detection shooting, face detection shooting and HDR mode.

HTC packed this cellphone with a very good 4.3" display, and a resolution of 960 x 540 , providing this cellphone with a detailed graphical experience. This display uses Super AMOLED capacitive technology, and can detect multiple fingers at the same time.

This phone features wifi capability (and it can share it with other devices around, acting as a router), HSPA+ (4G) data connection, that is not as fast as LTE-A or LTE 4G networks and 3G fast data connection, using HSDPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. The HTC One S works with a Micro SIM card for GSM services.

The HTC One S also includes a handful of useful characteristics as Bluetooth (allows communication with other cellphones, computers and accessories) and GPS, and plenty of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer, Gyroscope and Compass.

This cellphone has a 1650 mAh medium capacity Li-Ion removable battery that can keep it running for some hours, although you will probably need to charge it after some moderate to heavy usage. HTC reports a talk time of 7 hours and a stand by time of 430 hours for this cellphone.

This cellphone costs around $ 205, which is a very high price for this type of cellphone. No matter if you want a phone for work, will use it for gaming, want this cellphone to take many photos or want a phone mainly for internet broswing and social networks, you will definitely love this cellphone.
