vm fan's review of the HTC One S
original version, submitted Nov 27, 2013, 11:20 AM:
I LIKE it!
I like this phone the best out of all the ones that I have gone through.
I've owned these others at one point or another too:
Nokia Lumia 710 -- Windows phone, it was alright but cumbersome to use
HTC Amaze -- Weighed a ton, like a brick - had an excellent camera for pics
HTC Mytouch 4G -- see my old review
Nokia E73 -- too old to remember exactly
HTC HD2 -- don't honestly remember only that it was $$ at the time
Motorola Cliq XT -- small screen, first gen Android
Nokia Astound -- didn't like OS
Motorola Defy -- see my old review
I need to have an over the air FM radio, which is becoming more difficult to find on a phone and getting good enough reception/no interference with earbuds. The newer model HTCs seem to cut out to silence or lower volume when there is any type of signal interference and it took me a while to get used to that.
Battery life is really decent for a 'droid!
This phone is as smooth as butter for me. Yeah, sometimes a random app will open and I find that the auto-rotation sometimes is a little bit too sensitive but given my criteria any other phone will cost an arm and a leg. I tend to buy them 1 year out and the cost drops substantially. I would consider trying the HTC ONE later if I end up not liking this One S as much. For now it does all I need it to, so far my favorite phone!
Oh, P.S. I am female and have smaller hands so sometimes it is harder for me to handle but one gets used to it.

I would strongly suggest getting a cover case as the phone is extremely slippery to handle if you do not have a case on it.

This phone is as smooth as butter for me. The processor if fast and never really had any rpblems with this phone. Yeah, sometimes a random app (?) will open and I find that the auto-rotation sometimes is a little bit too sensitive but given my criteria not many phones out there. I tend to buy them 1 year out and the cost drops substantially. I would consider trying the HTC ONE later if I end up not liking this One S as much. For now it does all I need it to, so far my favorite phone!

I would strongly suggest getting a cover case as the phone is EXTREMELY slippery to handle if you do not have a case on it and will drop it

This phone is as smooth as butter for me. The processor if fast and never really had any problems with freezing, lagging or anything like that with this phone. Yeah, sometimes a random app (?) will open and I find that the auto-rotation sometimes is a little bit too sensitive but given my criteria not many phones out there. I tend to buy them 1 year out and the cost drops substantially. I would consider trying the HTC ONE later if I end up not liking this One S as much. For now it does all I need it to, so far by far my favorite phone!
Oh, P.S. I am female and have smaller hands so it was harder for me to handle at first but one can get used to it.
