This month Barcelona hosts the Mobile World Congress, arguably the pinnacle for mobile phone tech enthusiasts. The HTC Incredible S handset was released officially at the event, cementing details a few gadget sites sneaked out in the last few weeks.
The last year has seen HTC heavily challenge the iPhone and all at Apple for the cloak of principal smartphone manufacturer. The iPhone 4 competed directly with the HTC Desire model in latter 2010, with t3.com unable to reach a conclusion on which was the better phone. The HTC Desire itself arguably won and it was the multi-award winning phone of 2010.
It would be fair to say then that HTC are not so 'quietly brilliant' as their slogan suggests more just 'brilliant'. In fact I find myself writing about new HTC phones with increased regularity, perhaps their slogan should read: 'fantastically loud'?
2011 sees the introduction of 3 new phones under the S range. The revamped, stronger and slimmer HTC Desire S, with improved features of HD camera/ video recorder and faster, evolved browsing.
The HTC Incredible S has an emphasis on entertaining, with its cinematic experience combining the use of its 4" screen and virtual surround sound. This handset also profits from the HD video recorder but is boosted by an 8MP camera.
Focusing more on web browsing and social networking is the HTC Wildfire S, for when being offline isn't feasible. This smartphone is perhaps more focused on the 'phone' rather than the 'smart' in comparison with the other S models.
With handsets increasing in number and variety, HTC seem to be doing exactly what Apple isn't, appealing to low end and the high end consumers. All new HTC phones run via Google's Android operating system, and a swift peek on gadget blogs show that the latest news articles include the letters HTC frequently; signifying the business will remain brilliant, but not 'quiet' as such for much longer.
