HTC announce the Desire S

There really is no denying the popularity of the HTC Desire range. First announced at MWC this time last year the original HTC Desire built upon the Nexus One (the two handsets virtually the same hardware) but added to that HTC’s own Sense user interface making the Android operating system a lot less stark and arguably more accessibly to more potential customers.

The desire was so popular in fact that HTC couldn’t make them fast enough in the summer of last year. Problems with the supply of the AMOLED display from Samsung further added to the issues and led HTC to change the Desire to SuperLCD displays instead.

There have been a couple of other ‘variants’ of the Desire, the Desire Z and the Desire HD. HTC are now making the most of their investment in that name and are bringing us the HTC Desire S. I’m not sure why all new products seem to be getting the ‘S’ suffix this year but here’s another. Is it like car registration numbers??

Today in Barcelona, Spain HTC have announced their new flagship Smartphone, the Desire S. As a successor to the popular and award winning HTC Desire, the new HTC Desire S blends stunning design with power and speed. Inspired by the HTC Legend’s aluminum design, the HTC Desire S is sculpted out of a single block of aluminum making it feel solid and natural in your hand. With Qualcomm’s new 1GHz 8255 Snapdragon processor the HTC Desire S offers snappy performance and power. It offers front and back camera, High Definition video recording and the 3.7 inch WVGA display presents multimedia content brilliantly.
