hey guys it's brandon benetton from pocketnow.com and in this video we're excited to unbox the brand new HTC Incredible S this phone was announced at Mobile World Congress and - one of HTC's newest phones let's get to it ok so again this phone was announced with the Wildfire s and the desire s at Mobile World Congress and we're going to unbox it here and take a look at what HTC has done for their next generation this has a new version of the Sense interface which were curious to see how that works got some extra packaging here alright and here is the box a new HTC box with black instead of white kind of cool it makes the device look really nice the cool thing about the Incredible S among other things is that these buttons are sort of magical they will actually rotate when you turn the screen to landscape which is super cool can't wait to get that up close and let's take a look at some of the specs so we've got a single core 1 gigahertz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor the newest version of HTC Sense 768 megabytes of RAM this thing's going to be fast let's look at the bands down here as you can see we've got the aw s 1700 band and the 2100 band so this should do t-mobile 3G which is quite exciting so if you are on t-mobile you're looking for a new phone this is an unlock device it'll work for you this may be a good choice for your next phone eight megapixel camera with flash it does HD video recording and then there is a 1.3 megapixel camera up front alright it looks like this sort of slides down there's no tape to kind of bring it down like so now this is the successor to the HTC Incredible or the Droid Incredible as it was known on Verizon so we'll take this out and we're not even going to look in here and assume that everything is sort of the same yep let's see if it even comes with headphones kind of a darkish tint to the plastic a minor detail but something different so we do get headphones here and we get the wall charger and things like that pop this back in here and take a look at the new Incredible S feels very slender in handy got it a really interesting contoured design now the interesting thing about the incredible s is the screen size it's 4 inches which is a really good size it's not as big as the 4.3 inch display you get on the Desire HD and the HD 2 but it's definitely bigger than say the Nexus 1 so here we've got a front-facing camera and here's that contoured design on the back with a dual LED flash those of you with the Droid Incredible will kind of recognize this little contoured area let's turn it on if it even has the battery and will pop off the back here just to take a look at what is inside if it'll come off that comes okay yep got some plastic around the battery the battery is of size fourteen hundred and fifty mili amp hours pretty good size there let's pop it back in and we'll turn it on and while we turn it on we're going to compare it to some other devices so it's power button is upper right a little bit different than some other recent HTC devices it's going to go on there it goes so here we are next to the inspire 4G which is of course the Desire HD much larger screen I'd say the the Desire HD here is thicker than the incredible s okay and next to the Nexus S which also is a four inch display we're running a super LCD panel here and on the Nexus S you get a Super AMOLED now so you're gonna get better contrast with a Super AMOLED and next to the touch diamond open up that phones kind of old and next to the captivate which also has a four inch screen but the captivates thinness cannot be beat we're gonna let it boot up here for a second and we're gonna take a look at the version of Android that it's running looks like it's are you ready it's got fastboot up so here we go HTC it's gonna take a minute we'll be back alright first time set up trying to find North American English but can't find it that's strange insert sim card skip and skip the keyboard transfer data skip skip skip next or internet connection automatically sync data Wi-Fi networks leave me alone let's go to the home screen so can take a look at settings so well finish that and we'll get into the home screen here it's loading the widgets so we've got the sense widgets they added a few widgets in / last version of sense that you saw on the desire hd so here we go let's check out this program tray that they've changed okay doesn't look change to me that's right the newer version of the program tray is going to come forth in the gingerbread update so if we go to settings we're probably that was a bedding guide say that this is running Froyo so if we go down to a bat phone we are running see software information there it is Android 2.2 point 1 so you really don't get those changes until HTC up grits the Incredible S 2 Gingerbread 2.3 let's take a look at these on-screen buttons watch them whoa do you see that let's do it again see so this button is pointing left it's not pointing down when you rotate it it actually rotates with the phone pretty cool so a lot more coming up on the HTC Incredible S if you want one of your own right now they're shipping that Negri electronics that come it's unlocked it's relatively expensive as is the case with unlocked phones but you probably know that if you're even considering an unlocked phone they're about six hundred and forty bucks over over at Negri electronics calm if you like this video please give it a thumbs up and we'll be back with a lot more on the HTC Incredible S that's for now
