The HTC Incredible S measures up at 120x 64x 11.7 millimetres whilst weighing in at 135.5 grams.  It has a new soft touch feel and looks incredibly sleek and sophisticated with HTC’s “noir” colour scheme,The HTC Incredible S Is A Sophisticated Android Smartphone Articles with the whole handset being blacked out much as possible, even with details such as the HTC branding finished in black rather than the usual crime.  The front of the handset is dominated by the generously proportioned 4 inch S-LCD capacitive touchscreen which is on hand to display up to 16M individual colours within 480x 800 pixels.  Multi-touch input is supported, and the screen has proximity and accelerometer sensors along with a touch sensitive shortcut panel.  The icons on this even rotate based upon the orientation of the handset.

 

A generous 1.1 GB ROM and 768 MB RAM is provided as standard, meaning that a good number of media files or documents can be stored within the phone.  Should users wish to attain further storage, they can utilise the integrated microSD slot by installing a memory card of up to 32 GB, meaning users can potentially store an entire digital music collection on their phone.

 

The HTC Incredible S calls upon GPRS & EDGE to keep it connected to cellular networks and to provide the initial means of Internet access.  In areas with 3G coverage, an HSDPA connection provides super fast download speeds of up to 14.4 Mbps, meaning web pages are loaded in an instant.  Wi-Fi connectivity is also included allowing users to connect to local wireless networks for a faster internet connection, and Bluetooth, microUSB, GPS and DLNA finish off the package of connectivity features.

 

The HTC Incredible S is also one of the more impressive cameraphones currently available.  With a high pixel resolution of 3264x 2448 pixels, auto-focus, touch-focus, image stabilisation and a dual-LED flash combined results in fantastic quality still images.  As an added bonus, the camera can also shoot HD video footage in 720p quality.  There is an additional 1.3 mega pixel camera located on the front of the handset which users can utilise to carry out video calls with other compatible handsets or take self portrait photos.

 

Android v2.2 (Froyo) is the versatile and customizable operating system of choice.  This works in harmony with a powerful 1GHz Scorpion processor to provide a lightning fast user interface as well as the power to run demanding applications with ease.  The HTC incredible S also comes with several productivity, entertainment and multimedia apps as standard along with access to the Android Market where over 100,000 apps can be viewed and download straight to the phone. 

 

The HTC Incredible S ticks all the boxes and is competent in all areas rather than trying to excel at one task.  It is a great looking handset which is sure to suit those with a more refined taste when it comes to the styling of their phone.
