Final words
The HTC One S is one of the most impressive mobile phones we've handled recently - both in terms of hardware and software.
The slim metal unibody (with either ceramic or anodized finish) is brilliant, HTC have outdone themselves here - and that's easily said than done. The 4.3" qHD Super AMOLED screen is a welcome change from the LCD-only lineup HTC had for a while. They've done much to improve the photo quality and add advanced features to the camera too.
The Snapdragon S4 chipset with two powerful Krait cores and Adreno 225 graphics bested all current smartphones and will readily stand up to upcoming phones too - yes, even its quad-core sibling, the One X (and probably the rest of the quad-core phones that use Tegra 3).
Okay, some things about the HTC One S aren't quite perfect - we would have preferred a Super AMOLED Plus screen, non-expandable memory would be a deal breaker for some (though 90% of people should be fine with 16GB of storage) and the problem with framing videos seems like an annoying oversight.
It's a shame the One S doesn't come with a Beats headset either, but the sound enhancement alone will keep most people happy.
One of the few phones that can pull attention away from the One S is its bigger brother - the One X. Some would prefer the 4.7" 720p Super IPS LCD screen (with a full set of subpixels) and the extra storage room. The polycarbonate unibody is impressive in its own right

Considering they cost $99 it would only add to the price of the phone.. It's worth it though. I just listened to some tunes with my Beats Solo HD's and it's absolutely amazing, and I've listened to the same songs with Samsung Galaxy S2 and iPhone 4S and the sound quality is night and day.
Also Yea, i've heard you don't need Beats headphones to appreciate the sound quality improvement.
Have you noticed that the # of shutter clicks when you're holding down the shutter button isn't equivalent to # of photos actually taken?
Anyone know why that is or an explanation?

BATTERY :- 350 hrs (2G), 400 hrs (3G) (Stand By), 8h 20min (2G) 6h 40min (3G) (Talktime).
HTC DROID 2 INCREDIBLE

WEIGHT:- 135 grams
OS:- Android 2.2 FROYO
MEMORY:- 1.1 GB internal, 768MB RAM
CPU:- 1Ghz Scorpion, Adreno 202 GPU
CAMERA:- 8 MP Auto Focus, Dual LED Flash, Secondary :- 1.3 MP
FEATURES:- HTC Sense UI, SNS ( Social Network Service ) Integration.
BATTERY :- 361 hrs (Stand By), 6h 30min (Talktime).
COMPARISON :-
1. DISPLAY :- Both HTC Sensation and Droid 2 Incredible have the same S-LCD Gorilla Glass display panel.
But the HTC Sensation causes some sensation with its huge 4.3 inch display in comparison to 4.0 inch Droid 2.
2. WEIGHT :- HTC Sensation is heavier cause of its larger screen in comparison to Droid 2.
3. OS :- HTC Sensation has the latest Android 2.3 Gingerbread, where as Droid 2 has Android 2.2 Froyo.
4. CPU :- HTC Sensation is powered by a Dragon, the 1.2 Ghz Dual Core Snapdragon processor really packs loads of power.
Droid 2 Incredible also has almost equal clock speed at 1Ghz but it lacks the Dual Core Power.
5. CAMERA :- Both have the same 8 MP rear camera, but the Droid 2 has 1.3 MP Front camera which is much better than the VGA in HTC Sensation.
6. FEATURES :- Both have same basic HTC features like SENSE UI and the SNS integration.
The only feature that Sensation beats Droid 2 is, its AV Output capability.
7. BATTERY:- HTC Sensation and Droid 2 Incredible have a close fight when it comes to Battery Life.
8. COST :- The Droid 2 Incredible is comparatively much cheaper about 599$ at Verizon Wireless, where as one can get a Fully Unlocked HTC Sensation for about 880$.
Conclusion :-
HTC Sensation is the complete winner in this evaluation, but is a bit to High Priced.
If cost is not an issue for you then Go For the SENSATION (HTC Sensation).
Hic, it's very nice
hmm, i think new htc devices are getting better in designDD
The HTC Sensation should be awesome! But, we need some confirmation that the bootloader is indeed unlocked...
I'll go for the one that has the latest tech and great design vs the one that was inspired by Quasimodo. Price shouldn't even be a deciding factor. It's like looking at a ferrari and giving it negative points for being out of the price range of a Honda Civic.
actually the droid incredible 2 is $439 retail at vzw. pretty decent in my opinion.

With a 2yr contract signing and new phone rebate, my sister got a Dinc2 for $80
Would have loved to take advantage of the subsidy, but i'm only several months into my contract. I replaced my droid 2.
I wonder why those two have such low internal hdd...
hhmmmmm
I like the Droid 2
I definitely prefer the looks of the HTC black slab style more than the other. For that reason, my vote goes to the Dinc2!
Not a fan of Sensation's back design and much prefer Incredible's. But in the end what matters most (to me at least) is the CPU.
I think HTC Sensation is hands down leader in all aspects. With it's unlocked bootloader it will have an option to strip the Sense away...
i heard this smartphone yesterday from gizchina,it looks very good, what do you think? guys here.

Specs:
- 5.5 inch Screen, 1280*720 pixel
- MT6582 1.3GHz Quad core
- Support 3G network: GSM 850/900/1800/1900 & WCDMA 850/2100 MHz
- 1 GB RAM + 16 GB ROM
- 13MP back camera + 3MP front camera
- The latest Android 4.4.2 System
UMi have had an interesting past. After launching the hugely popular UMi X1 a few years ago, the company hit the spotlight again last year with the UMi X2. But since then the UMi candle has been burning low, despite even the launch of the UMi X3.
The problem seemed to be that although UMi could make a capable flagship, they always seemed to produce lack-luster low to mid-range smartphones.
This is all behind them now and a new mid ranger is about to turn the company around. The UMi C1 is based around the chassis of the flagship X3, so you can be sure it is a great looking smartphone, and hardware has been tweaked to make it more affordable.
A quad-core MT6582 processor and 1GB RAM plus Android 4.4.2 are always a good mix when building a powerful phone on a budget. Throw all that in to a great looking steel chassis with 5.5-inch 720p Gorilla Glass display, micro SD card expansion and 13 mega-pixel main camera and it is all looking very peachy.

Unfortunately NOT gorilla glass!

Is a good phone.
Great post! So, which ones and how many of these should I be trying to implement? What do you suggest?
Good phone but photo quality is poor and this is not a gorilla glas
Yes this phone is a good phone for the price, but, keep in mind that this phone is not a gorilla glas 3 mobile and that the photo quality is poor, if you want to root it you must use the last Vroot in chinese.

I am satisfied with the photos this phone is making, regarding the gg, putting on the screen protector available in the stock package will solve the issue. One drawback is the hd resolution for a 5.5" screen, this is the only thing i found a bit annoying, FHD could have been way better.

it is easy to root with 360 root tool. my friend.
Has anyone noticed that screen randomly turns on and that sometimes you don't have internet access on wifi (this is very noticeable on hotspots which require log in) and then you have to turn wifi off, turn it back on and login again?
Now i got the other smartphone from my Chinese partner, it's Catee CT550, This smartphone is not the high-end one for me. But i still would like to have a good test of it. In order to let you know more real feelings about this smartphone and let you purchase right, i will introduce this smartphone from the following parts.
Pros:
5.5 Inch 960* 540 Pixel QHD IPS Screen

In this large-screen smartphone times, many smartphone manufacturers have created more phones with giant screen to attract more attention from the users, and this one is also in large screen. It sports by 5.5inch QHD IPS screen with 960* 540 Pixel screen resolution, although it's not HD or FHD smartphone, it's proper for me to watch videos in nice screen quality. So this is the one feature i should compliment.
MTK6572 Dual Core 1.3Ghz
Dual core smartphone didn't prevail now, but for those who such as elderly people are not used to quad core or octa core smartphone, this one is enough for them to use. So this smartphone has the clear customers' position. And i have tested the speed, it's not so bad, playing games or searching the Internet is good, but if you don't need your smartphone to play large 3D games, this one is so far , so good.
5.0MP Rear Camera
I am the one who like to take pictures by smartphone, not the digital camera, although digital camera has better picture quality and larger storage. But i am really satisfactory to use my phone to take photos, this one has 5mp back camera, which i think it can meet my needs to take pictures.
Support 3G Network, multilanguage, GPS and other practical application
As a good smartphone, the hardware is very important, but also the well-performed apps, now this one can support dual sim card, dual standby, and i can use freely about 3G network. Meanwhile, GPS is also my nice partner to guide the road for me. and i can also set up the mother tongue by this smartphone which can support multi-language.
2200mAh Battery
I use it for watching videos for about 3 hours, the battery has used 40%, i think it makes me feel good. I don't have to charge my phone every 4 hours, because i bought a samsung smartphone, the battery makes me really sad.
Very competitve price
You may be interested in the price, and i tell you it only costs $82.99 from China for free shipping. It has a very sound price for me. So other features seem not to be important now!
Cons:
RAM 512MB and ROM 4GB
This one only has RAM 512MB and ROM 4GB, if it were larger, i would like it more. I really recommend it can update to a larger storage.
0.3MP Front Camera
This one supports 0.3MP front camera, i think it should be improved, if i take pictures myself, it's not so clear.
In all, this one is a dual core smartphone which is full of competition in price and looks. I feel good. How about you?
Although new in the mobile phone industry, LeTV now Leeco has been a successful online video company in China. They have launched their first phones in April 2015 and made a successful breakthrough in the phone industry and now they have landed in India .

Display:
This handset comes with 5.5 inches IPS Full High Definition display with 401 pixel density. The display sharp and vivid, flawless touch responsive with good viewing angles. The sunlight legibility of the display is also good. This is a certainly good display to considering this price range.
Camera:
This device comes with 13 MP Primary camera with single LED flash and 5 MP front facing camera. Both cameras capable of taking impressive shots, the images taken by this phone good detailing and clarity. But in indoor/low light scenario captures images shows slightly noise however, it can capture decent images in low lighting conditions. The overall camera quality good enough to considering in this price point.
Design & Build Quality:
The Le1s sports all metal body, device feels pretty premium in hands, but also feels little bit heavy, it’s only because of its metal built body, but no problem it is not a big issue, overall it feels pretty slim. The back panel of the smartphone is non removable, means you cannot remove the battery from the device, which is a good point.

The hardware specs itself explained that how much powerful the device is, so really without wasting any time let us discuss about it. Overall experience with this device is pretty good or we will say very responsive, we have done lot of multitasking and phone feels smooth. In terms of gaming we challenged the device with industry’s most powerful to most popular small games like, subway surfers etc, as we expect small games runs very smoothly in this device, also when we tested some of the best graphic intensive games, it feels smooth too, in this device we have played Asphalt 8, NOVA 3, Injustice, Six guns, they are very fluent, to be fair we haven’t noticed any lag with the device.
Verdict:
LeEco Le 1s is a well performer, it is very smooth in terms of browsing experience. The device is well performing in all most every section, like we have tested some Games and we didn’t notice any lags. The daylight performance of the camera was awesome, in other words the device feels damn premium. If you want a beast in your pocket, and want to show off within your budget, then this is for you.
