The HTC Incredible S might not impress the tech enthusiast crowd, but it works as a midtier Android smartphone, offering some nice improvements over its predecessor.

The Incredible S is slick, fast and very well constructed, making it a highly recommended choice for anyone looking for a competent and well equipped Android smartphone.

A decent turn of speed, stable software and ticks in most of the hardware boxes we expect – including a respectable camera and great browsing experience – add up to a great all-rounder.

A 4in. screen, 1GHz processor plus front and rear cameras give the Incredible S smartphone plenty of appeal, although we'd class it as impressive rather than 'incredible'.

Perhaps if HTC introduced the phone at a more budget-friendly price, we could recommended the device, but given that it'll cost almost as much unlocked as the better upcoming smartphones of mid 2011, we just can't recommended that you go out and buy one.

Last year HTC and Verizon released one of the best Android phones of the time with the HTC Incredible. Recently the two decided to get together again and release a newer updated version of the Incredible. While at a quick glance the updated version doesn’t look to be much of an upgrade, it is in...

I don't care if society says it's wrong, I am in love with this phone. After a brief unimpressive experience with a Droid 2 Global, I was ready to call it quits with Android. Turns out it was Motoblur I couldn't stand and not Android. Simple design with minimal buttons, and the onscreen...

Has a 1450 mAh battery so it last longer than the Inspire 4G for example. Screen size is just right for me, 3.7 is too small and 4.2 or greater have lower ppi (at 800*480). Size and weight is great and runs very fast. Best phone I had to date

While most android phones try to be cutting edge, HTC decided to try to optimize and improve the overall experience. Sense gives the device a nice feeling, and includes small details that stock android doesn't include.

Good phone for everyday use. With internet can connect via rdp and make basic support work. Custom rom make it upgradable. Very good piece of hardware. maybe some more cpu would have been great.

Sept 2011 - Verizon contracts had been up for a few months on me and my wife's phones. I was looking for something that had longevity, and was a good introduction to Android (especially for her). I have not been disappointed with this phone. Battery life is excellent, especially when you...

The phone is wonderful! This is my third smartphone (I had an LG Ally and a Blackberry Bold 9650), both were good phones, but neither were as good as the Droid Incredible 2. It's comfortable in my hand and it has a bigger screen with a nice screen, not as good as a super AMOLED, but still nice....
