(The One A9 was originally reviewed on October 27th, but we've republished this review due to the arrival of the handset in the US. ) We're used to only seeing one flagship smartphone come from HTC every year, but this year is different.
Pros:
- - Design is symmetrical and accessible - AMOLED display is good to see - Quick Charge 3.0 incoming thanks to Snapdragon 617 - Fingerprint reader works quite well - Camera is conventionally good - UltraPixel front-facing shooter - Marshmallow out of the box
- with Sense features we like
Cons:
- - Design incredibly derivative - Despite AMOLED
- display is very standard - Lacking in performance speed - Fingerprint reader throws a wrench in plenty of other well-known HTC features - No BoomSound speakers - Battery doesn't last long at all

HTC One S Review
HTC's latest dual-core offering does many things welll - it has a good display, impressive build, a good camera, and delivers good performance overall. However, what we don't understand is how HTC could price this phone so close to its elder sibling, the One X.
Pros:
- Good performance
- Crisp and bright display
- Very good camera
- Built well
Cons:
- No expandable memory
- Priced too close to the One X

HTC One S
Crammed between the One X and One V, the One S is a phone with middle-child syndrome. It has a good design, solid performance and some excellent features, but so does the One X, with it's larger, 4.7-inch screen.
Pros:
- Same
- sleek shape as One X
- Excellent AMOLED screen
- Solid performance on Android ICS
Cons:
- Poor battery life
- Non-user-accessible battery
- No microSD or HDMI

HTC One S
Good things come in threes, or so they say. HTC has three phones in its One-series range: the top-end One X, the low-end One V and the piggy-in-the-middle HTC One S. But, as it is with all middle children, the One S struggles to stand out.
Pros:
- Same, sleek shape as One X
- Excellent AMOLED screen
- Solid performance on Android ICS
Cons:
- Poor battery life
- Non-user-accessible battery
- No microSD or HDMI

This phone has a good hardware. But it's software is awful. It has Android 4.0 preinstalled, which is fine. But it also has "Sense" which is kind of a bloatware. Also HTC is very slow for system updates. (I still don't have Jelly Bean (4.1) yet).

The best till now
I was using HTC one S since the past years and now it has given up. 6 years for a phone is an amazing life. In those times I never faced any technical issue with the phone at all. I owned an amazing silver and black colour phone. The phone had:- It was a sleek phone and really very nice.

Review: HTC One S
HTC has been one of the more prolific players in the Android phone market of late. But so far, the Taiwanese manufacturer hasn't quite solidified its desired reputation as a beloved premium handset maker, up with the likes of Apple, Samsung and Motorola.
Pros:
- Super thin and light with an attractive unique style
- No problems with call quality or battery life
- Premium materials add an upscale feel and 4G speeds are fast, when you can get a 4G signal
- Photo software is top-notch
- 25GB of free storage from Dropbox with purchase
Cons:
- Protruding camera lens is begging for scuffs and scratches
- Display is pixelated, not high definition
- Beats Audio doesn't make anything sound better, just louder
- And while it has Beats Audio technology, it doesn't come with Beats earbuds
