HTC has taken the opportunity of the Mobile World Congress, which is currently taking place in Barcelona. This tech show will mark the launch of plenty of high-end smart phones and at this tech show, HTC has also launched that they will be launching the replacement model for the incredibly popular and feature rich HTC Desire. This phone will be having is a number of features that are being used from the previous HTC Desire without too many changes because it should be had in mind that the predecessor was in itself a successful phone.
The HTC Desire S will be coming with the same 3.7 inch display that is used in the many HTC phones of today. It will be using the Super LCD capacitive touchscreen display technology, which apart from providing clear visibility even in sunlight, is the best for saving the power. The large touch screen phones of today are known to sap a lot of power from the battery. The use of this technology in the HTC Desire S helps alleviate this problem. The phone will be having the WVGA resolution that will be used to show off the Android operating system that this phone comes with. Even though the Android operating system is something that is taken for granted when you are buying a HTC phone, it is something that will be present in the phone is the best possible way. Instead of the Android 2.3 operating system which has been recently launched, although it will be getting the update to the 2.4 version of Android that is going to release in a short while.
You might be having some doubts as to why the phone for the phone to be going for the operating system that is yet to be launched. The reason will be coming in the form of the compatibility problems that the currently in use 2.3 version of Android is facing. The launch of the 3.0 honeycomb operating system is the reason for this. HTC will be able to improve the service that is being provided to the customers by launching the 2.4 version of the Android. The five megapixel camera in the phone remains unchanged like the touch screen display size and it will be having the same features like the predecessor. Hence, it will be able to record 720 p HD videos and also do many things as well. The phone will be offering the 1450 mAh battery that is known to offer brilliant talk times for every phone that is running on this battery.
The battery will not find it difficult to offer nearly 10 hours of talk time in the 2G mode. This is amazing considering that this phone will be having a 1 GHz fire breathing monster within it. This processor will be comfortably running the operating system along with the plenty of HD applications that it can support. The HTC Desire S will be launched alongside the HTC Incredible S and the HTC Wildfire S in the United Kingdom from next month for a price of 435.
