HTC One S Special Edition comes in white, packs 64GB storageThe HTC One S launched back in February at Mobile World Congress, and was in fact favoured by our Jan over the larger, pricier, higher-specced HTC One X. Just saying.

Fast-forward eight months and now we’re hearing official word of an HTC One S Special Edition. Tell us more, High Tech Computer Corporation.

Before you get too excited, it looks like the HTC One S Special Edition might be exclusive to HTC’s home turf of Taiwan. There’s certainly nothing to suggest it’s heading to the UK any time soon.

The big news concerning the HTC One S Special Edition, other than its new Snow White jacket, is that the internal storage is quadrupled from 16GB to 64GB. We like.

Otherwise, HTC One S Special Edition specs remain unchanged, so you’re looking at a 4.3in Super AMOLED display, dual-core Snapdragon S4 processor clocked at 1.5GHz, and an 8MP rear camera, all housed in 7.8mm of phone.

As I say, no word on a UK release for the HTC One S Special Edition at this stage, but we’ll keep our fingers crossed. Er, not literally.

This would've been good about 7 months ago when they launched the damn thing.

They are doing this because they released the Snapdragon s3 version of this phone in Asia back in march(april?), but people complained so much that htc felt the need to replace the s3 version with the s4 and add more Rom to it to sell more units. That's why you often see buyers asking whether it's the s3 or the s4 version.

Ah, but not much happened in the last 7 months. I'd say in the 4.3-in range the One S is still the best (sorry, S2-lovers - aka matt)

Until the 8X gets launched ;) Looks sweet (if you ignore that HTC has ballsed up on the ROM again).

Don't worry, my: removable battery, expandable memory, non-pentile display and factory unlocked bootloader aren't offended ;).

Yep.
So, who cares :p

(and PS: yep, the battery, bootloader and storage on the One S are bummers, but out-of-the-box it's funner)

Gotta admit: white gadgets aren't exactly my thing, either. E71 was the only good-looking phone in white imho. The white SGS3 looks like a cheap knock-off :p

Lazier? The Sensation XE hardware is EXACTLY the same as the Sensation. A bit of red paint a logo and a tweak of the firmware is damn lazy. At least this gives peeps some decent memory.

The XE got a memory bump too iirc and processor speed increase.
That's two things, this has one.
And the XE colour was better ;)

Same s**t. Different colour.

I agree with you entirely re all Sensation vs XE comments.

Like you are sticking with your SGSII i'll be sticking with my Sensation until something substantially better comes out. Or it breaks.
