HTC Incredible S official

HTC’s Verizon DROID Incredible has spawned a European version, the HTC Incredible S, now packing a GSM radio into its unusually angular casing. HTC describes the style as “inside out” design, though what’s really on the inside is a 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon MSM8255 single-core processor. Unusually, despite HTC claiming that the Incredible S will be positioned as an Android enthusiast’s device, it will actually launch with 2.2 Froyo.


That will be upgraded to Android 2.4 Gingerbread “early on” the company promises, though there’s no more specific timescale than that. What you do get is HTC Sense, an 8-megapixel autofocus camera with dual-LED flash on the back, and a front-facing 1.3-megapixel webcam for video calls. 1.1GB of internal storage, 768MB of RAM and a microSD memory card slot round things out.
The HTC Incredible S will be the first of HTC’s “evolutionary” updates to go on sale, arriving in early Q2 2011. No word on pricing at this stage.
