Whenever a company is looking to design and push out a new version or an entirely new model smartphone or tablet, it stands to reason that they are looking to implement the next big design feature or piece of functionality that will set their product apart from the competition. When Apple released the iPhone 4S at the back end of last year, they genuinely believed that the voice controlled Siri assistant would separate their product from the rest, a sentiment that Samsung and Google have subsequently bought into.

It also meant that we did not need to fiddle around resizing windows in order to get, say, two Chrome windows open beside each other or two Word documents open above and below each other. It was genius, even if we did not really fully understand it at the time.

The 4.3” One S is HTC’s mid-end offering of their One series of smartphones. It hasn’t been as favorably reviewed as its stellar bigger 4.7” brother because of its Pentile display compared to the Super LCD display on the One X.
