Description

The HTC Incredible S has a 4-inch WVGA Super LCD screen, and a single-core 1GHz Qualcomm 8255 processor, along with 768MB of RAM. What makes it stand out is the fact that the labels of its capacitive buttons are not printed giving the impression of a buttonless device. The buttons also rotate with the screen adding to the overall Android experience. On the rear there is an 8-megapixel camera equipped with dual LED flash and capable of 720p HD video, while the front holds a 1.3-megapixel camera. The phone will also have expandable memory with a microSD slot. The connectivity package is pretty standard: Wi-Fi b/g/n, Bluetooth 2.1 with A2DP and a standard microUSB slot. When it comes to software, the Incredible S will ship with Android Froyo, but HTC promises to swiftly upgrade it to Android Gingerbread.

Incredibly clear
Phone owned for more than a year

clear display with a bit weak battery. A great visual experience and plays all the games. A bit slow after the ice cream sandwich update. Great to handle. scratchless, using this without screen guard and no scratches.

A great little phone
Phone owned for less than 3 months

One of the best phones to start off your Android revolution. A very good alternative out there for something that comes within most budgets; in fact, perhaps the most feature-packed phone in its range. I really like the overall feel of it, though there are other, better phones out there.

BLOATWARE! Tons of preinstalled apps u cant remove
Phone owned for less than 3 months

Hat this phone because it's full of BLOATWARE. I've nothing against HTC Installing a few custom UIs and things because some people might prefer them but YOU CANNOT UNINSTALL IT. And it's not just one or 2 apps , there's absolutely loads of rubbish preinstalled that I don't use and just sits there using up memory, battery, data, etc. And for the techy's out there - it's REALLY difficult to root. Will not be buying HTC again.

Also the aerial's pretty poor, you have to take the cover off and tape silver foil inside if you want a signal comparable to most other phones.
