Gorgeous Aluminum Unibody design
Introduced back in 2011, the HTC Desire S still remains HTC’s one of the most successful smartphones. The Desire S’s top-notch aluminum unibody design makes it a very beautiful phone though that is not the only thing that makes it a big hit. The Taiwanese company has incorporated a 3.7 Inch screen into the Desire S with a resolution of 480 x 800 while the use of Corning Gorilla Glass technology helps a lot in keeping the screen devoid of scratches.
The Desire S uses Android 2.3.6 Gingerbread but it is upgradable to Android 4.0 ICS which comes with HTC Sense 3.6. HTC has vastly improved Sense 3.6 over the last Sense version to make your experience with your phone even better.
It has two cameras, one on the back that is a 5 MP autofocus camera with LED Flash while the front camera is a VGA one.
Even though it’s two year old, the Desire S is still up to speed with a 1 GHz Dual-Core Snapdragon processor coupled with 768 MB of RAM to give you a smooth and buttery performance. To power this phone, there is a 1450 mAh battery which can give you a standby time of 430 hours and a talk time of 9 hour and 50 mins on 2G/7 hours and 10 mins on 3G.
HTC Desire S also has the basic range of connectivity features like 3G, EDGE, GPRS, GPS, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.
