Rated 1 out of 5 by KonradB focused on design - not on basic construction rules
The htc ons s looks really cool. It is very thin and has a camera inside which is even able to take HDR pictures.
But: The display is too near at the sides of the housing and slightly elevated. Therefore the housing does not protect the display sufficiently, which makes the phone extremely vulnerable if it hits plane ground, even from small heights. Also original htc hard shells (with or without protection cover) do not protect the display. This is because of two other construction bugs: Firstly the protection cover may open if it falls. Secondly the sides of the hard shell are lower than the display. Therefore the shell can not absorb kinetic energy by its deformation - because it is not where it has to be (performance and ease of use - 1 Star). Perhaps some developers were careless because of the usage of gorilla glass and forgot basic principles of construction.
Another bad thing is that the display glass is bonded with the screen in order to produce the phone thinner. Therefore a broken glass can not be replaced alone. Fixing a broken screen is about 200€ or 40-50% of the original phone and too much as it is caused by faulty design.
The question, whether one/I should repair it or buy a reliable new one is quite difficult to answer.
Sorry htc.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Kate Beautiful....
This is my first phone, and it is easy to use, simple, and most of all beautiful! All of my friends want to have one! I don't have to even tell them why I love it so much. Within the first few seconds, they instantly want one! So wonderful!!!! I think the best feature is the camera. Because it is always there when I don't seem to have a proper camera! And it takes the most beautiful shots!
I love my phone, and I wouldn't change it for the world!!!!!!!

Rated 3 out of 5 by Prism Great phone, but...
Unfortunately I have the version with the S3 processor. Performance is fine but HTC has not offered updates for it like the ones with the S4 processor. Otherwise it's a great phone with beautiful hardware and a right sized screen. Improve support for it and I'll give it 5 stars!

Rated 5 out of 5 by IloveHTC101 Simply amazing - In every way
I just got my new HTC ONE S and its superb. Absolutely no lag whatsoever! This was a massive upgrade coming from a Wildfire S and was an expensive on. But it was worth every penny.

Rated 1 out of 5 by michaelprograms Screen broke too easily
I had this product for two weeks before the screen shattered (5 months ago) and I'm stuck in a contract with this awful phone for another year and a half. My phone fell from a height of 3 feet and the screen shattered and splintered. There are no replacement parts out there unless I feel like paying $150-$200 for a replacement part on a phone they are giving away free and that only has a resale value of $200. What a waste. I really liked this phone before it the screen shattered but now I'm stuck with a broken phone and can't do anything about it for over a year. Its a nice thin design though.

Rated 5 out of 5 by BBorisov3 Don't think about it!
If you're reading this and you haven't bought the phone yet but you're wondering if you should, THEN BUY IT! This is the most amazing phone ever and I absolutely LOVE the camera on it! Simply amazing. Best phone I ever owned. There is no point to talk about it more, it is just superb. It's sad that some of them are coming with an S3 proccessor though...

Rated 5 out of 5 by powershihab Go For It, No Regrets At All...
The One S is a stunning android handset and it's far better than any Samsung device. It is the best phone I ever came across. All the aspects are amazing except for the battery which is good but could have been better. Generally if this phone is among your options, then don't hesitate.

Rated 5 out of 5 by octoprime one word-AMAZING
this is simply AMAZING........first off it is really light weight for something that packs a lot of features,easy to use,camera quality is excellent....easy messaging and let's not forget the dual core processors.......tends to heat up though after much usage though. And like all smartphones these days it's obviously going to break if it falls from considerable height.....so i suggest buying a case or something.......better safe than sorry.
