Short Review
- The HTC Incredible S features a solid build with dimensions of 120 x 64 x 11.7 mm and a weight of 135.5g, available in black and red.
- Its 4.0-inch S-LCD display offers a resolution of 480 x 800 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 233 ppi.
- Performance is powered by a Qualcomm MSM8255 Snapdragon S2 chipset, a 1.0 GHz Scorpion CPU, and an Adreno 205 GPU, alongside 1.1GB of RAM.
- The rear camera boasts 8 MP with autofocus, capable of recording video at 720p@30fps, while the front camera is 1.3 MP.
- The battery capacity is 1450 mAh, with no fast charging or wireless charging capabilities.
- Running on Android 2.2 (Froyo) and upgradable to 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) with Sense UI 3.6, the software experience is relatively dated.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 2.1, and microUSB 2.0, but it lacks 5G and NFC support.
- The device does not feature HDR or stereo speakers, but it does include a headphone jack.
- Overall, the HTC Incredible S presents a reliable option for basic smartphone needs, though its specifications reflect its 2011 release.
- Special features are limited, with no water resistance or advanced camera technologies.
