HTC One S Camera vs. iPhone 4S

This is a little feature video in which I take a look at the camera system on the brand new HTC One S. The One S has an 8MP rear facing camera with a 28mm wide angle lens, and an LED flash. It also features a 'supposed' 720 front facing camera, but I could only get VGA quality out of it.

Also on board the camera system are a ton of filters, effects and real time modifications that can be added to your photos. Check them out in the video!

HTC One S Unboxing & Boot Up

This is my full unboxing and first impressions of the HTC One S, which is one of three brand new HTC smartphones in the 'One' line. Originally debuted in April, I've finally got my hands on a review unit. Huge thanks to HTC and ParadigmPR for making this possible.

I'll be using this phone for the next couple of weeks and putting it to the absolute test. I've actually already been using it as my primary phone for the past few days and I am blown away by the speeds, and capabilities. I'll go into further detail in the review, but this may be an iPhone killer in my mind.

This phone has been provided as a review unit, on the Virgin Mobile network in Ontario, Canada.

This Week in Phones #1 - iPhone Alternatives

With all the hype around the possible leaked 4th Generation iPhone, I think a lot of people are forgetting about other handsets recently released that kind of blow the iPhone out of the dust.

 HTC Evo 4G

The Evo 4G, on Sprint, is designed by HTC with power in mind. Sporting a gorgeous (and huge) 4.3 inch display, dual cameras including a front facing camera, and a 1GHz Snapdragon processor, the Evo is an absolute screamer! The Evo also has the ability to connect up to 8-wifi enabled devices, similar to what we’ve seen in other Palm devices. Being the first mobile phone to feature 4G technology, the phone is always fast! Most importantly, the Evo is on a better network than the iPhone, so you can really take advantage of 4G strengths, which AT&T does not offer. Pricing for this phone has not been announced, but is expected to be released sometime this Summer.

 HTC Droid Incredible

Phone manufacturers have to be pretty bold to name their phone “Incredible” but apparently HTC hit the mark. With a 3.7 inch AMOLED display and an 8-megapixel camera (which seems to be becoming the norm now a days), the Incredible really ones-up the iPhone. The Incredible is also on a much better network, that being Verizon Wireless, so you can really take advantage of faster data speeds.

 Nexus One

Google’s Nexus One, toted as “The Google Experience”, is a very powerful Android phone. The Nexus One is available on multiple carriers, T-Mobile and AT&T (AT&T unlocked only) makes it a very versatile phone available to customers on different networks. The Nexus One offers a 3.7 inch AMOLED display, a 5-megapixel camera and a 1GHz Snapdragon processor, so it has a very large feature set.

 In conclusion, those are just a few iPhone alternatives, all with much different feature sets than the iPhone and all on a better cellular networks. Even though the iPhone conveys a certain socioeconomic status to others, other manufacturers are developing phones with a better feature set, so next time you’re shopping for a mobile phones, look into some other iPhone alternatives.
