HTC One S Official

It’s finally here: HTC has just unveiled its latest workhorse phone, the One S. This model slides in just below the One X, using a smaller 4.3-inch screen with a 960×540 resolution, the same as most of HTC’s phones for the last year. Instead of the screaming Tegra 3 on the X, the HTC One S gets a standard Qualcomm 1.5ghz dual-core processor. On the software side, it gets the same treatment: Ice Cream Sandwich with HTC’s updated Sense UI 4 as a topping. The phone is getting its worldwide unveiling at Mobile World Congress.

HTC One S hands-on

While the One X may be HTC’s new flagship, the One S is arguably the most cohesive all-round package: a balance of design, screen size and performance with the benefits of Ice Cream Sandwich. Sense 4.0 has been cleaned up and pushed back to its roots – improving the core OS experience, rather than merely making it look different – while HTC’s legendary hardware expertise has been pushed to the next level with some attention-grabbing production processes.

HTC One V hands-on

The chin is back in town: HTC’s One V shows that the company just can’t let a styling cue die, though when you’re basing your new smartphone on the beautiful HTC Legend, that’s probably no bad thing. If the One X is for the power user, and the One S for the everyman, the One V attempts to raise the bar for entry- to mid-tier devices with a combination of style and performance. Read on for our hands-on first impressions.

HTC Mobile World Congress wrap-up

LG and Samsung have been dropping pre-Mobile World Congress hints all of last week, but it would be hard to argue against the fact that HTC has owned the opening night of Mobile World Congress. Their three-pronged HTC One line isn’t just a new series of phones, it’s a dividing line for the the company, signifying the beginning of a more centralized strategy and (hopefully) a clean break from their rather disappointing second half of 2011. They’re hitting the high, middle and low end of the smartphone market with three extremely targeted models, all sharing the same design DNA. Naturally, SlashGear was there to cover it all.
