I used this phone for a few months and I think I can tell some good and bad things about it. I am a HTC consumer for a long time and I like the HTC ONE S design. It's really sleek and with nice protective cover on it, it will still look thin and sexy device. Screen is great, cameras working like a charm too. If you like to shoot like crazy like I do, you will like the video and camera features. Many of my best photos are taken on this phone. Audio is superb compared to other devices on the market. I do have Beats ear buds so I did experienced great sound all the time. Still couldn't make Beats Audio to work with my internet streaming radio apps, but I heard there is a workaround for that. Anyway sound is like you're in the club, and I listen to electronic deep soulful house music with deep basses plus instruments and vocals. Battery life wasn't bad for my taste, I use it a lot so I figured out if it can last whole day - great, and it was. I think the best thing is CPU since phone is flying through menus as it should. Everything that you want, you can do it with this phone, except one thing. You cannot Skype normally, sound is awful! Crackling all the time, cameras? Heh, forget about it, if you're lucky. So, Skype fans - skip it !Read full review
amazing phone, great quality build , really thin in fact so thin I had to buy a case so that I could hold it with ease, really sharp and fast camera with amazing HD video recording and stereo sound, screen is beautiful and the cpu makes the phone quite fast. What else can i say...I love the HTC sense and i dont even need to root it anymore because the design that HTC comes with satisfies all my need and guess what it has BEAT audio built in so expect amazing sound quality using your headphones.
Pros: The HTC One S is an amazing phone and one of the best on the market as of now. Everything runs smooth and fast thanks to it's powerful processors, RAM, Android 4.0 OS and Super AMOLED display. The display isn't the best on the market BUT it surely is stunning with bright colors and great contrast. The battery life is also pretty amazing too as it's standby time doesn't require too much power thus making power drainage very low; even while you are doing a task on the phone, it's power doesn't drain so quickly compared to other phone's on the market so that's a plus. It runs on the Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich OS which makes the phone stand out from the others in the market as it can do tons more than phones with later versions of Android OS's such as face unlock and people hub. The camera on the phone is also quite amazing as the duration to take pictures is like half a second plus with a high resolution result. Same goes with the camcorder portion of the phone which takes video at 1080p with 60fps which becomes an eye candy as soon as you watch your videos. The front facing camera/camcorder is also stunning too. Microphone and speaker of the phone is quite amazing too. Another feature that I love SO much is the Beats by Dre integration as I love listening to music everyday and the integration feature makes it sound even better. Overall the features, easy of use, and battery life makes the phone amazing for everyone. Cons: The phone is made out of somewhat cheap material. The back of the phone can change to a darker color mostly due to the moisture of your fingers and palms. I have also dropped the phone accidentally over EXTREMELY minor fall distances and I have already started seeing some white spots on the phone appear which makes the color of the phone look tacky. Also I have seen that the back of the phone gets hot quite regularly doing tasks such as playing games or multitasking with several apps at once in general and it becomes EXTREMELY annoying. Having said all that, a case would make a fine investment as a must. Lastly is that the on screen touch keyboard of the phone is HORRIBLE in every way and it's horrible to even ATTEMPT to get used to so you'd have to buy/download a third-party keyboard app from the Google Play Store.Read full review
I was looking for asecond smart phone so I needed something not so expensive, old, but still strong enough to be useable. I just got the phone. I t appears to be solid and strong. It is still fast (as for January 2014), and honestly, I have been using the newest cyanogenmod for several months now with the newest rom, 4.4.2, and this appears to be faster. For me, it looks like as the android advance in versions, the phones become slower and slower. The only thing that saves the android is the very fast development of fast cpus: I currently own 2.3 ghz cheap that is not very faster than this HTC with its 4.0.2 android. the camera appears to be good enough. screen is good, and high quality. The preblem is the lack of SD card - WTF? cannot insert my 32gb card full of pictures and films to this phone, they did not make a slot for it! For now, its the only major fault. If you need more than 16gb - stay away from this phone. But only for some music and regular phone use - it is more than enough.Read full review
Pros: 1. Quality built 2. Nice big screen 3. Really thin Cons: 1. you can't change the battery. Usually batteries in my phones only last 2 years. Its probably going to kill the resell value. 2. can't add my own external storage. 3. HTC Sense is nothing to be desired, but the rom can be changed.
Overall, I am pretty happy with my phone. I upgraded from the MyTouch 4G, and this phone simply runs laps around it. However, I was not aware that there is no way to expand the memory of this phone, which is a huge deal breaker for me, given my love of music. The phone runs smooth and is very easy to use. The battery life might be its only other downfall.
I have had this phone for a year. Best camera ever. Screen picture and sound is awesome. Fast and smooth OS. Excellent touch screen. Update to Jelly Bean went well. Trace is not as good as Swipe but better after JB. My only complaint is battery life sucks if you turn on wifi or do any kind of heavy use. No SD card but Dropbox is a better substitute.
This phone is AMAZING. I have to say it is the best experience I have EVER had with any HTC/Android phone. If you are an android or HTC user and you want a phone that does everything this is is. The screen is amazing and the look and feel of the phone is great. The phone is very simple and user-friendly. iPhone users, like me, can never get hooked on any phone but this one got pretty close. I like to test out new phone right when they come out, and this is probably the best one I have seen in a while. Also you get beats audio there is nothing missing.
I purchased this phone as a replacement for my aging Samsung Galaxy S Blaze until some anticipated newer models came out. I needed one that had adequate memory, a fast processor and plenty of built in storage. I also wanted it to have at least Android Jelly Bean 4.1, which it does. This phone fit the bill more than adequately for my needs. It's fast and smooth with hardly any operating system lag. Overall, I'm content now until the one I'm waiting for arrives sometime later this year.
Better than iphone, takes very nice pictures. Fast, not too small and not to big. the only down side would be it doesn't have a slot for an external memory card, but it still is better than an iphone. and you can use cloud or dropbox to save your pictures.
