• Tweet

Here’s another HTC One S knock-off from HDC, today we have on spotlight is the HDC One S Plus that is packed with the latest and very fast dual-core MT6577 chipset. Its a complete HTC One S clone from the outside, and I am telling you that this one is a great deal and really tempting just by looking on its  competitive specs and price.

Due to its really low price and better specs on some aspects, this HTC clone is already considered as one of the hottest buys on the MT6577 category. Let’s look deeper on this HDC One S MTK6577 through this review.

HDC is well, obviously good at making clones of popular and latest smartphones or gadgets. This HDC One S comes with a black and white color variations, just the same as the HTC One S color set.

This one is a Dual SIM capable Android smartphone, that’s an edge over a single SIM phone if you really need the other SIM slot. It is also good to know that this one has 3G/WCDMA support and is totally unlocked, making it compatible to work with major carriers all over the world.

The HDC One S runs on Android 4.0.3 ICS, out of the box and has support on a lot of languages all over the world. You can always request for your desired language of what is to be packed on the device and shipped upon your order on Fastcardtech.

Sporting a MTK6577 Cortex-A9 1.2Ghz dual core CPU chipset, this HDC One S is definitely a fast monster already. Partnered with that is the  Imagination PowerVR SGX531 GPU that is always a guarantee of fast and lag free HD gaming, and smooth multimedia processing and playback.

It has a 512MB RAM, which is based on my experience; is already enough to handle seamless multi-tasking. The 4GB ROM for your internal storage can give you an average of 2.5GB usable internal memory which is still expandable with an SD card at 32GB maximum supported capacity.

The HDC One S shines with its wide 4.3-inches capacitive touch screen, which is said to be made from HD Toughened Glass.  It outputs a really clear, crisp and vivid display from its qHD screen at 960×540 pixels resolution.

Just like other MT6577 handsets, this one also has an 8.0 megapixels camera with LED flash, and a front snapper at 0.3 megapixels. Skype video call is assured to be working with no problem on this device.

HDC One S photos

Here are some more photos of the HDC One S:

The HDC One S looks sexy and elegant on its classy HTC One S design, phone gives a premium feel.

Its plastic material gives a good form factor impression, and the matte finish is also well done. Not too plastic”-ky” looking, reflects pure elegance.

The accessories of the HDC One S is also not just some cheapskate, the white color scheme on these stuff is a good thing. Pretty much perfect on matching the white version of the HDC One S, I guess.

Verdict

If you are on a budget, then this one is never a bad choice. Its already a steal to get this phone on your hands. It is very cheap yet those specs aren’t present on other handsets with 200USD or above price tag. Plus, you are getting a clone of HTC One S, which is a flagship phone of HTC. Elegant look, competitive specs, all these for a very low price? Think about that.
