The successor to the One S has (probably) been announced.
It is called the Desire 600. It has:
Code:
• A 4.5in 540x960 SLCD2 display
• A 1.2Ghz quad-core Snapdragon 200 processor
• An Adreno 203 GPU
• 1GB RAM
• 8GB storage (wut?)
• A microSD slot (ah)
• An 8MP camera with f/2.0 lens
• A 1.6MP front camera
• NFC
• Dual-SIM capability
• And [B]NO[/B] LTE compatibility.
It comes in two colour combinations, silver with a black screen and red trim, or completely black. The silver one looks disgusting.
Link to picture - original image is waaaaaaaaay too big to fit on this page.
It comes shipped with 4.1.2 and Sense 5. BoomSound is included, no word on Zoe yet (so probably not included).
It's on pre-order in Russia at the moment for 15,990 ruble (GB £340, US $509).
HTC say:
The new HTC Desire 600 dual sim will be available with mobile operators and major retailers in a number of markets from early June 2013. For more information visit www.htc.com

i dont think that this phone can be Successor of One S. if a 720p display was included then it was a Successor. i think is successor of desire x..
My thinking was that:
Code:
• One X/XL/X+ has 4.7in display, and so does the One (M7)
• Desire 600 has 4.5in display
• One S has 4.3in display
• Desire X has 4.0in display
So it would be logical to say that this phone is an upgrade to ours. The only problem with out screen wasn't the resolution, it was the crappy PenTile RGBG layout that HTC chose for it. By making it SLCD2, that should improve quality (but makes colours far less vivid). Also, it has NFC, which our phone doesn't have. It has a microSD card slot, which our phone doesn't have. And it has 2 more cores, which our phone doesn't have.
HTC have only confirmed it for Asia and Africa, no European countries (apart from Ukraine) and no American countries, which could suggest that they will cater to our higher standards and bring out a phone with HD screen with AMOLED (hopefully), Zoe and that UltraPixel camera.
Yayyy we can port Sense 5 from this device and although the hardware will be difficult, no resizing needed
The "true" successor" to the one S will be the one mini/M4 (2GB RAM, highly clocked krait, ultrapixel camera, the zero gap metal body construction, boomsound, 720P res. [will most likely be SLCD 2] etc.), this is a successor to the desire X, it is considered part of the budget/mid range series of htc phones.
qHD res. (SLCD 2) with that screen size won't be that great anyway, only be marginally better than our one S, main difference being text
Also, just because it has "more cores", doesn't mean it will be better, afaik, that chipset is based on 45nm, our dual core krait is based on 28nm and looking at the rest of the specs, it doesn't look like it will be as good of a performer when it comes to performance (especially in the GPU department), power efficiency and it will most likely produce more heat.
A really good dual core chipset with 2GB RAM is much better than a budget quad core chipset with 1GB RAM.
The only part of this phone that can be consider a true upgrade (so far) are the speakers, NFC, SD slot (but 8GB of internal storage is very low, only 6GB or so will be usable and these days games etc. are getting big and you can't move stuff to the SD card any more)
That phone more likely is a successor to the Desire series on it's own.
Either way, the big hitter for me now is NFC. If that isn't included by HTC, I am moving elsewhere. Loyalty can only get you so far if they don't listen to the loyal end user. Like a bloody 16 million colour notification LED, there's 518,400 of them on our screen, would it really hurt to add in just one more? And leaving NFC out of this phone was just plain stupid anyway.

These specs are of a low-end device, It's not a 'successor' to the One S in any means, dual SIM suggests it's targeted at developing countries, which is silly considering HTC has been moving away from them.
Edit:
If you want to 'upgrade' to this phone it's fine but it's specs are way worse than what is packaged into our One S, don't get illuded, Snapdragon 200 is Cortex-A5, it's really power efficient but it's the worst you can get of this generation.
I like that, the grey-red combination IMHO is really cool...
Dual-SIM is a really useful feature in the "first world" though, I'd love a flagship phone with that.
HTC are thinking in the long-term by targeting developing countries. When they flourish, the more loyal customers, the better. It's just a question as to if HTC will survive that long.

In my opinion they will not survive if they work same way as now
Their dual SIM have problems
From HTC One S
I think that the successor of our phone will be the HTC one mini... The desire will be the successor to the "desire" series, while the new one mini will be targeted for the one series users who just don't want a 4,5'+ screen.
My opinion

This is not a successor to the One series. Its for the Desire series. So in a way its a successor to the Desire X and SV.
In the one series is the One Mini.
What an interesting device. I'll keep my one s thank you htc

I'll probably convert to the childish side, sadly. My Mum got an S III a few days ago and as much as it pains me to say it, it is quite good. It's just the UI that looks awful, while Sense tries to look somewhat professional, TouchWiz looks like Samsung's target audience is everyone below the age of thirteen. All the features added are really good though, and Samsung give a long long support length. The S II is getting 4.2.2 and our phone might not. The S IV will probably make it to 6.0.

Yes sammy supports long
Reason sense is deeply mix in os & complete
touch viz is just android theme I suppose touch wiz as stock android + change some icons some layout change
think of sammy's gallery, dialer, calendar, clock ......
so when a new android comes they have to change some icons & roll out new OTA update
From HTC One S
Honestly I doubt that will be the successor, as it's not better on all aspects (it looks like).. Guess we'll find out soon enough..

HTC won't upgrade every aspect of it. They always leave one feature out that turns it from a brilliant phone to an "imagine what it could have been" phone.
COOL

Is there an android phone with spec similar to iphone 5S?
- 4" screen (or max 4.3")
- lightweight: 130grams or less
- Slim 8.5mm or less, not too big
- FAST user interface. Fast photos. Fast opening apps.
Thanks
The closest thing to that is moto g. And it costs only 1/3 of an iPhone.
the closest that you will get is the Motorola Moto G, which is considered a low-end device in contrast to the iPhone. So the price for the Moto G is much lower, but I assume you won't get the same great performance as on iOS.
There's also the HTC One Mini or the Galaxy S4 mini. Both feature a mid-range processor and over 1GB RAM. Because Samsung and HTC use their own customizations and User Interfaces I'd recommend using a custom ROM, like cyanogenmod. There is currently no official CM support for either devices, but I'm sure there are many ports available. These would offer a smoother user experience compared to the stock ROMs.
The best choice is to wait for the devices releasing early 2014. The Sony Xperia Z1S is said to arrive 2014 and this one beats all the "Mini"-Versions of other manufacturers, at least spec wise. It is said to offer a Snapdragon 800, 2GB RAM and an outstanding 20.7 megapixel camera. If price doesn't matter, what I assume when you're searching an iPhone-alternative, I'd wait for that one. I will probably consider it myself.

thanks error,
kind of disturbing how superior the iphone 5s is to the S4 mini...

How can there not be a superior android phone with the same compact form factor???
edit: the huawei ascend p6 is slimmer, but taller. higher resolution i think.

The mini versions have always been inferior to their flagship counterparts. Sony will release the Xperia Z1 mini next year though, same procesor and camera as its big brother but with a 4.3" screen.
Z1 mini has good specs,
But is bigger and bulkier
Not really a true competitor
Meizu has released its latest smartphone, Meizu MX4, and it will also announce Meizu MX4 Pro soon. But today, i would like to make a deep review about Meizu MX4 first. This smartphone has become the flaship device in the market right now. Meizu MX4 is said to be the best rival of Xiaomi MI4. As you know, Xiaomi, Meizu, Huawei, Oppo and ZTE are all Chinese famous brand. You can also share the feeling about this smartphone.
Design and apperance
Meizu MX4 packs a 1920 * 1152 Pixel SHARP JDI Corning Gorilla Glass 3 Screen , with the dimension of 5.67 x 2.96 x 0.35 inches (144 x 75.2 x 8.9 mm), From the screen size, it can be the most suitable size for us to hold. If it sported a large screen more than 5.36inch, it would increase the some unacceptable comments from users. Therefore, I like the screen size , meanwhile, i have tested the screen quality, it has also nice screen color. Which i would like to use the smartphone to wathc the videos. Hope you can have the same feeling with me.
Powerful Hardware :MTK6595 Octa Core 2.2Ghz
Meizu MX4 is the first smartphone which is powered by MTK6595 Octa Core 2.2Ghz processor, before the MTK6595 chipset came out, many manufacturers and users have predicted which brand will be the first one using MTK6595 Octa core 2.2 GHz processor, now Meizu has revealed the answer for you. About the speed, i really can't express my joy about it more. It's so fast and swift compared with MTK6592 Octa core 1.7GHz, when i play the 3D games, there is no need to wait for more than 20seconds. I can log in the games without any stop. Believe or not, just have a try.
As for the internal memory, it is not RAM 3GB but RAM 2GB, and it has two versions that one is RAM 2GB ROM 32GB, the other is RAM 2GB ROM 16gb, i am the one who is inclined to use the ROM 32GB. which has the larger storage which let me download and store numerous full high definition videos.
20.7MP Rear Camera
As for me, a cool camera is very important, Meizu MX4 has 20.7MP rear camera which is the finest camera i have ever seen compared with other smartphone. It utilizes Sony’s latest high-end Exmor RS sensor, coming in at 1/2.3″ and 20.7 megapixels this sensor not only picks up a ton of detail but it picks up a ton of light too. Although the front camera has only 2MP, the rear camera is really eye-catching. I will take more pictures about the back camera.
3100mAh Battery(Bulit-in)
Last time, you must remember THL has released the most durable battery with 5000mAh, now Meizu MX4 has also 3100mAh battery built in the smartphone. Standby in particular is absolutely amazing on the MX4, when i play the gmaes by this smartphone, it can support more than 8 hours working time. I really can't believe it.
Support 4G LTE network , GPS, and Multilanguage function
Besides those nice features, Meizu MX4 can also support multilanguage, which can beat those Lenovo smartphone without multilanguage function. And 4G LTE network let me enjoy the fast speed to search the Internet. Especially play it on subway. GPS function can help me guide my way when i have a travel, or when i shop on a strange road.
In conclusion, i love this Meizu MX4 smartphone with the good price. Hope you can also have a nice experience with me.
Well first of all I would like personally to thank you for the review. I was thinking to buy this phone and by this great review, I am more likely to buy it sooner than I thought. The thing is tho, 4G LTE network works in all European countries with all Cell phone Brands or how you call it? I mean like Vodafone, Orange, O2, Cosmote, Wind etc...? And I would like to ask something else too(since you own the phone already) does it support LED notifications? I saw a video on youtube but I am not sure if it's real or fake. Thanks in advance.
Internal phone storage
I currently have a ZTE Nubia Z5S NX503A, 32GB version. When I recieved it, I found out it had just a 2GB internal phone storage and around 24GB SD-storage. None of the storage locations are able to be physicaly removed or replaced. As a standard, Google Play Store installs apps to this internal phone storage, but this gets very quickly filled up. Anyone know how this is with the Meizu MX4 Pro?
I love meizu mx4 and pro. Planing to buy it.. Little bit concern about customs charge.. I am living India.. Did anyone already buy from India ?

As well know, except for the MEIZU MX4, Huawei Ascend Mate7 and the Xiaomi Mi4 are both the latest popular Chines mobiles, so how do you think of the three mobile phones?
Hlo Guyz.m new to xda site.this is my first question.hope i will get answer from experts as soon as possible.so, i want

HTC Desire 828 Dual SIM
HTC Desire 828 belongs to HTC’s range of camera smartphones where the UltraPixel camera, first introduced in the original HTC One, is now in the front. With UltraPixels, HTC says the sensor size is bigger and captures better selfies, even in low-light and has a 26 mm wide-angle lens to capture a wider field range.
The new HTC phone has the same features of the Desire family, including the handy BlinkFeed. Overall, the device flaunts a plastic design and is lightweight. There is nothing really new about the Desire 828 that we haven’t already seen in the past, only for a new price tag that might bring a smile on the faces of many HTC fans.
Specs:
5.5-inch Full HD display
| Android 5.1 with HTC Sense UI
| 1.5Ghz octa-core Mediatek 6753T processor
| 2GB RAM
| 16GB ROM (expandable up to 2TB
| 13MP rear camera with OIS
| Ultrapixel selfie camera
| 4G (both FDD and TDD) support
| 2,800 mAh battery
What is good?
Despite being a 5.5-inch phablet, the Desire 828 is comfortable to hold. The display quality of the smartphone is really good. Watching movies and playing games is a delight. Note that there is no protection for the display screen. HTC BoomSound offers a pleasing audio experience. The smartphone comes with dual speakers, thus, the audio is pretty loud.
The octa-core Mediatek SoC makes the Desire 828 pretty smooth. It is well equipped to handle heavy games like Asphalt 8- Airborne. Multitasking on the device is also a delight. For most users, performance should not be a issue.the Desire 828 comes with one of the fastest cameras. The image is quality is at par with other competitors in this price range. The Ultrapixel selfie camera is also capable of delivering some decent results. It is very responsive and the ‘smile to click a selfie’ works wonderfully fast. Overall, the device offer a good experience on the software front.
What is not that good?
The battery life of the device is not something to be proud about. If you are a heavy user, then you might run out of juice before reaching home from work. I got a feeling that you would need to pretty careful with the device, it is not among the most durable smartphones.
