  • Solid all rounder, Big screen, NFC and 4G
  • Average camera, Bulky, Not that cheap
  • The HTC Desire 610 is a solid all-round effort. It's well put together, has a big screen, and is fast enough for basic tasks. There are much cheaper alternatives, though, like the Motorola Moto E and Nokia Lumia 630, so you really have to weigh up how muc...

  • The HTC Desire S feels good in the hand, has a sharp-looking display and ran fluidly in early tests. We also like the camera upgrade. Watch this space for a full review of the HTC Desire S in due course. Ginny Mies, PC World US ...

  • The Desire S is another eligible smartphone in HTC’s line-up that looks and performs like a phone that has been on the receiving end of plenty of thought and the proud bearer of an interface that is truly a pleasure to use. All this in a compact yet ‘b...

  • Good performance, Decent battery life, Elegant design
  • Very expensive, Older version of Android OS
  • Final Verdict: The overall Desire S Review clarifies that this smartphone is a worth buy from different aspects. With 3G network, android-based OS, strong processor and enthralling design, you will have wonderful experience with this gadget. However, you ...

  • Good build, Great looks
  • Speaker volume too soft, Trouble retaining signal in low network coverage areas
  • Not many reviews online tell you about the two major flaws that we’ve encountered. Even if you were to argue that the network problem is a freak case with units that we’ve come across, what about the loudspeaker? If it’s something you can live with, a...

  • Latest Android OS and slick Sense integration, Unibody aluminium design
  • No real advanced features, We miss the physical buttons, Evolution rather than revolution
  • The HTC Desire S is an evolutionary rather than revolutionary upgrade over the original Desire. It remains an excellent smartphone, but it hits the market at a time when competition is fiercer than ever. We think it's a good all-rounder at a competiti...

  • Abstract:  The saying, ‘if it ain't broke, don't fix it', applies to the Desire S, as it's very much an evolution of HTC ‘s massively popular Desire. So rather than a bit of one-upmanship, the next-gen Desire S has decided to forego a dual-core engine and premium de...

  • Camera quality, Lighting problems with capacitive keys, Sense UI is starting to feel stale, Click here to see more images of the HTC Desire S,
  • The Desire S is a well-designed piece of kit and can be easily recommended to anyone looking for a midrange Android device. It is easy to work with even for users new to the Android OS. Major improvements in battery life, better construction and softwa...
