Mobile World Congress: HTC Desire S


The new HTC Desire S is on show at this years Mobile World Congress and is the sequel to one of the best selling Android phones from last year.

Carved from a single piece of Aluminum a la HTC Legend - it looks and feels like a proper solid piece of tech.

The Desire S’ 3.7-inch touchscreen has an 800×480-pixel resolution, which is the same as the original Desire’s. A screen of that size represents a good compromise, giving you plenty of space for Web surfing and watching videos, while keeping the phone’s dimensions pocket-friendly.

Inside is Qualcomm's new 1GHz 8255 Snapdragon processor, along with 768MB of RAM and 1.1GB of built in storage, expandable with a microSD card.

The camera's got a five megapixel sensor, capable of 720p video, and is joined by a VGA fixed focus lens at the front of the Desire S, for video chat and vanity photos.

One of the best features of Android is its Web browser, which tends to be fast and accurate. It’s fantastic to have the whole Web in your pocket, just as it would look on a desktop computer. The browser even supports Flash, so you won’t miss out on sites that use Flash for videos, photo slideshows or fancy-pants navigation.

All the usual bells and whistles are inside, including GPS, a G-Sensor, digital compass and proximity sensor.

The whole shebang runs on Android Gingerbread, and HTC says we'll be able to slap down our credit cards to buy a HTC Desire S in Q2, or June in normal speak.
