The award-winning HTC Desire is back – with a refreshed design and improved feature set.
The HTC Desire S picks up where its predecessor left off, offering the latest HTC Sense experience on the Android 2.3 Gingerbread platform.
For anyone considering an Android handset as their next smartphone purchase, the HTC Desire S will certainly be a temptation. Not only is it one of the best-looking HTC smartphones to date, it also packs a set of hardware features that will catch the eye of any technology enthusiast.
So, let’s get started with the cosmetics of the new HTC smartphone. Maintaining the pocketable form factor of the legacy Desire, the Desire S comes with a slick, black colouring. Its unibody design has been slimmed down to a mere 11.6mm in thickness, housing a 3.7-inch WVGA touch screen. Overall, it weighs in at just 130 grams, meaning this new Android phone really does feel great in the hand.
As the saying goes, beauty is only skin deep – so does the hardware under the hood match up to the stunning exterior of the HTC Desire S? In a word, yes. The 1GHz Snapdragon processor provides seamless device navigation and is supported by 768MB RAM. This also makes for speedy web browsing and provides plenty of power when it comes to apps and gaming.
Of course, a powerful handset would be no use without the software to match, and with Android 2.3 Gingerbread and HTC Sense, the Desire S does not disappoint. The latest version of the Google OS offers compatibility for 57 languages, while HTC’s custom skin for the Android platform comes with features that include HTC Friendstream, offline map storage and smart ringer function to name but a few.
Another great addition to the Desire design is a front facing VGA Camera, which provides a more personal means to communicate via video calling. On the back, there’s a 5MP camera which has the ability to record in 720p HD. Any special moments that are captured can be shared via DLNA, while there’s also Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and 3G capabilities built-in.
The HTC Desire was one of the most popular handsets of 2010. With quicker web browsing, a higher resolution camera and the latest version of Android, the Desire S could well earn the same accolade this year. The HTC Desire S is available from smartphone specialist Clove Technology
