A Review Of Features And Specifications Of HTC Desire S Smartphone
The launch of the HTC Desire S in the UK market in 2011 has been greeted by a largely positive support.
The device is a definite improvement on the previous model and sports a sleeker and lighter look.
The new phone weighs in at 130 grams and measures 115 x 59.
8 x 11.
63mm.
However, the design remains similar in a number of respects.
The 2011 offering is equipped with a Super LCD in place of an AMOLED one although the actual dimensions are still 37.
7 inches.
This has greatly improved on the tactile experience of the touch functionality as well as allowing for sharper graphics.
What is most noticeable about the display is the phased out physical tap buttons used for home, back, menu and search functionality.
In their place are new touch buttons incorporated into the glass display but dedicated for the purposes.
Absent too in the new design is the optical track-pad feature that was standard for the 2010 model.
The fully integrated Android touch screen has an enhanced resolution of 800 X 480 pixels.
The device performed superbly when put to the test for a variety of touch operations even for online content with adequate responses.
However, the quality of display is relatively wanting in a number of respects especially in comparison with other devices in the same high-end range.
A good example of this is that it is not possible for the device to achieve strikingly whites for web page backgrounds as some other devices can, with a definite graying easily observable.
The device comes with a handy 5 megapixel camera that has fast responses and intuitive ease of use in tests.
For the video capability, the 720 High definition video capable feature makes for better video compared to the previous offering of this phone.
However, the fact that the camera sensor is still stuck up at the 5 megapixel range, it is arguable whether the video quality matches up to the best in the field.
The 2.
3 upgrade of the Android Operating System brings with it added system demands and the 1GB RAM of the device is a good response in this respect.
When it comes to processor capacity, the more demanding users will find that the fact that this smart-phone still sports a single core processor quite limiting.
HTC has failed to follow the trend of incorporating dual core microprocessor technology as has a number of competing brands.
In terms of network connectivity, there is much to smile about in this offer.
The smart-phone supports the HSDPA 3G connections at speeds of up to 14.
4 mbps.
There is as well the added bonus in form of Wi-Fi 802.
11n wireless inter-connectivity.
The presence of a front mounted camera is a revolutionary step and admirable in a number of senses.
However, this feature may have more hype to it than practical usability.
This is because there are barely any applications available to make use of the feature as at present.
The Android market currently has no app suited for video calls.
The phone is available for 400 pounds in many stores around the UK excluding a SIM card.
Offers include a Micro SD memory card which is more likely to be 4GB in size than not.
The standard offer of an aluminum uni-body shell is another endearing selling point.
