**Unboxing and First Impressions of the HTC 1S**

As I begin this unboxing experience, I'll do my best to document every detail, from the initial setup to the final verdict. Let's start by connecting to my Wi-Fi network, which was already set up on the phone.

I hit next and allowed the Google location service, followed by setting up a Dropbox account, which came with 25 GB of storage. I skipped this step for now, opting instead to add a Google account. Typing on the phone felt comfortable, and I have to say that it gives off a very premium feeling. With that in mind, I hit next and finished the setup process.

Upon booting up, we find that the HTC 1S ships with Android version 4.0.3, also known as Ice Cream Sandwich, but it's promised to receive the Jelly Bean update. The phone's performance is smooth, and I'm impressed by the Super Amulet quality.

**App Tray and Software Features**

Opening the app tray reveals that HTC has preloaded quite a few apps, including TuneIn Radio, SoundHound, Polaris Office, and Flashlight. I tried out each of these apps, and they all functioned as expected.

Next, I switched to the settings menu, where I found information about the phone's specifications, software version, and storage capacity. The internal storage is 2.21 GB, while the phone storage is approximately 10 GB. It's worth noting that this phone does not support microSD card slots, which might be a drawback for some users.

**System Update and Software Information**

After verifying the system update status, I rebooted the phone to apply the update. Upon completion, I found that the system update was successful, and the phone now runs on Android 4.0.3 with HTC Sense 4.

The home screen is customizable, allowing access to up to seven screens. The phone features a unique gesture-based navigation system, which includes three touch buttons at the bottom: Home, Back, and Multitasking. When connected to Wi-Fi, I fired up the web browser to test its performance.

**Web Browsing and Camera Performance**

The web browsing experience was impressive, with pages loading quickly and smoothly. The keyboard is comfortable to use, and pinch-to-zoom gestures worked seamlessly. Changing orientations also happened quickly, giving me a sense of fluidity.

I then tried out the rear-facing camera, which features an 8-megapixel shooter. The tap-to-focus feature worked well, and I was able to take quick photos and videos without any issues. Although the battery life wasn't fully tested due to low power reserves, I'm confident in the phone's performance.

**Conclusion**

As we conclude this unboxing experience, it's clear that the HTC 1S is a solid device with impressive specs and features. With its smooth performance, customizable home screen, and robust camera capabilities, this phone has a lot to offer. However, the lack of microSD card support may be a drawback for some users.

In my next video review, I'll dive deeper into the phone's performance, including comprehensive benchmarking tests. For now, I hope you've enjoyed this in-depth look at the HTC 1S.

get this phone for approximately 25,000 rupees so I feel it's a great price for this phone because this phone is pretty fast and before unboxing I just want to thank Fel Communications for providing
