In this HTC Incredible S smartphone review, the smartphone under the spotlight is HTC Incredible S. Although judging from the name you may think it’s a simple upgrade to HTC Incredible, think again. This phone is a powerhouse of its own and this HTC phone review will tell you why.
The HTC Incredible S is powered by a Qualcomm MSM 8255 1GHZ processor with the help of 768MB RAM and Adreno 205 GPU. Although it doesn’t come with a dual-core processor, this phone along with Android takes it for a spin. joyful ride, always.
The 120 x 64 x 11.7mm phone that weighs around 135.5g comes with a 4-inch display that really caught our eye and is definitely worth mentioning in this HTC phone review. The 800 x 480 pixel WVGA touch screen is excellent as colors remain vivid and clear even when viewing the screen from various angles. On the front are also the cool rotary buttons that stay put while you flip the phone to landscape mode along with the 1.3-megapixel camera. To the left of the HTC Incredible S, you’ll find the volume controls, as well as the microUSB port. Running on Android v.2.2.1 is definitely a disappointment, especially since so many other smartphones on the market run on Gingerbread.
However, the phone is said to receive the Android 2.4 update. The latest version of HTC Sense on the phone seems to make up for the shortcoming of Android on the HTC Incredible S. There are a lot of great things waiting to be explored on the HTCSense.com site, like the remote access functionality it provides to access your contacts and other stuff.
Like every other HTC phone review, we reviewed the performance of the HTC Incredible S phone. Making voice calls was pretty good on this phone as the audio was clear and noise-free. Browsing the internet was also good on this phone, as you can do things like scroll and zoom web pages quickly with little to no lag. The Mobile Hotspot application that comes with the phone is also a plus as you can share your 3G connection with others. The 1450 mAh battery seems to provide enough power to run this phone for at least a day without recharging.
The HTC Incredible S has really good cameras as both cameras reduce noise well. That being said, the image quality is amazing. On top of that, the wait time between shots is barely there, while the focus speed is also quite fast.
As this HTC phone review found, while many may disagree, it’s not always that bad to use Froyo, even if Gingerbread has been around for a while. This must be said of the HTC Incredible S because it’s so good in almost every way, and that’s partly thanks to the constant development of Froyo. Furthermore, the phone also looks stylish so it will definitely be a hit with many.
