HTC Desire S sells for S$688 in Singapore

HTC Desire S, the successor to the popular HTC Desire smartphone, is hitting shelves in Singapore at a suggested retail price of S$688.

Specs-wise, the Desire S is nothing revolutionary. It comes with a new 1GHz Qualcomm chip and 768MB of RAM and a 3.7-inch touchscreen (480 x 800). A 5-megapixel camera at the back is capable of taking 720p videos, and a 1.3-megapixel camera at the front lets you make video calls.

The hardware design also sees an upgrade. The Desire S now comes in a sleek unibody design which is stronger and slimmer than the previous Desire. The Android function keys are now capacitative touch buttons instead of hard buttons.

If you’re using the original Desire, the incremental improvements make the Desire S a worthy upgrade. But our opinion is still the same as when we wrote about the Incredible S: there are more powerful and unique phones coming out very soon, such as Sony Ericsson’s bevy of new phones.

So, if you absolutely must get a phone immediately, the Desire S is worth considering. Else, just be patient and hold out for a few more weeks.

    I do agree though that what HTC offers as of late has been lacking specs wise when compared to other manufacturers. Don’t know the real reason for it. Though I am hoping its a trend that doesn’t continue else they become another Nokia, if you catch my drift.

    Only reason I’m sticking with HTC is mainly due to their excellent record with the software updates, at least in my experience. Gives it more bang for your buck for the average consumer like myself.

    Hey Azaris, I’m eagerly waiting to the Flyer too! Unfortunately there’s no news on that for now.

    You’re right, dual-core isn’t that important for a lot of people, but we like to live on the bleeding edge! 😉

    Already have myself an Incredible S and not really too worried about the single core processor and what not. Will just re-contract and get an Android 2.4 OS equipped smartphone with whatever number of cores the CPU would be at.

    Am more interested in the HTC Flyer. Any news on when (or should I use the word if) that would be out in our part of the world?

    Ah i can’t wait for this to reach Malaysia. Also the Sony trio seems to use the same chipset, and even less ROM & RAM. If you want more power, wait for Pyramid. 😛
