Making Sense of it all

Available at T-Mobile stores across the country on April 25 for $199.99, the HTC One S is the carrier's first native Android 4.0 device equipped with HTC's newest interface.

Boasting a 4.3-inch Super AMOLED screen, a dual-core processor, and an 8-megapixel camera, the new One S runs on the carrier's 4G network and features Sense 4, the updated version of HTC's UI.
