The HTC Incredible S was launched in Malaysia just few months ago, about the same time as the Nexus S. Priced just slightly below the RM2000 mark, the Incredible S looks rather attractive considering it looks like a smaller sibling to its larger Desire HD.

Apart from the screen size which differentiates the Desire HD’s 4.3″ from the Incredible S’s 4.0″, the difference lies with the internals. First up, the Incredible S has a larger 1450mAh battery compared to the Desire HD’s 1230mAh which on paper should provide longer battery life. The screen on the Incredible S is a better S-LCD variant and it is also said to be using toughen Gorilla Glass. There’s also a front facing 1.3MP camera but video calls are not supported on the Incredible S.

The rest of the hardware features are rather similar as it also runs on 1GHz Qualcomm MSM8255 single core processor and a generous 768MB of RAM. Internally, the Incredible S has 1.1GB of storage which is 400MB less than the Desire HD. At time of review, the Incredible S runs on Android 2.2 Froyo but its upcoming Android 2.3 Gingerbread update should be available by now.

While we have the HTC Incredible S and Desire S launched recently, the next device to look out for is the HTC Sensation. This will be the HTC’s flagship Android smartphone featuring a dual-core 1.2GHz processor and a high resolution qHD Super LCD display that supports 960×540 resolution.

Smart phone hardware is just half the story and HTC has released a video that showcases its HTC Sense 3.0 software in a 5 minute video clip. Among the exciting features to expect is an active lockscreen which gives you essential shortcuts without unlocking the device. This is somewhat similar to what’s being offered on Samsung Galaxy S‘s TouchWiz lock screen.

While most smart phone these days are boasting high MP count of 8MP and above, the HTC Sensation is stepping up the game with its instant capture camera. From the video, this lets you snap pictures instantly so that you’ll never miss a shot again. For taking pictures instantly, we’re wondering if it can match the Xperia arc’s camera performance.

Another new feature they have mentioned in the video is HTC Watch, a movie on demand service which lets you watch premium movie content while on the go. The content is said to be streamed as progressive download which lets you watch it instantly while loading. We don’t expect this to be available in Malaysia but who knows, they might secure a content licensing deal for us folks in South East Asia.

So when is this phone coming to Malaysia? The LG dual-core Optimus 2X is already here and the Samsung Galaxy S II is expecting to make an appearance either end of this month or June. Since the Sensation has just being recently announced, we have a feeling it might reach here sometime between July and September. We just can’t wait.

While we wait for the launch of the Flyer and Desire S this Friday, HTC has just introduced its latest flagship Android smart phone, the HTC Sensation — the most powerful HTC smart phone ever.

The Sensation features a 4.3-inch qHD Super LCD screen with Gorilla Glass that displays a whopping 540×960 pixels. The display also features a contour design along the entire edge of the screen which HTC claims lend a premium feel to the device while at the same time protecting the screen from grit and sand when it’s placed screen-side faced down.

Processor-wise the Sensation is packing a 1.2Ghz dual-core Snapdragon with 768MB RAM and 1GB of internal storage. In the camera department, there’s an 8MP rear camera with dual LED flash and 1080p HD video capabilities. HTC says the camera offers instantaneous shutter response allowing you to capture images and videos faster. At the front you get a standard VGA resolution camera.

In addition the the plethora of wireless connectivity the Sensation supports both HDMI and DLNA output as well. Powering all this is a 1520mAh battery.

The HTC Sensation runs Android 2.3 Gingerbread with the latest HTC Sense UI skin on top. The new Sense UI features HTC’s active lockscreen which serves live information, like weather and stock prices right without the need to unlock the phone. In addition the active lockscreen allows you to unlock straight into an app by dragging its link into an unlocking circle.

The HTC Sensation also brings with it HTC Watch video store which allows users to download movies and television shows by renting or buying them directly from the device. We doubt that this feature will be of much use here in Malaysia.

Asia launch window for the HTC Sensation is sometime between June and September (yes, we’re looking at you Maxis). Head on over the jump for a some promo videos of the HTC Sensation.

The HTC Sense UI is one of the better skins out there for Android. If you’re a BlackBerry users, here’s a chance to get a “similar” look and feel with this HTC Desire HD Theme by VinceThePrice. There are 4 choices available: Metal, Sense, Wood & Slate and they come with all the nice looking widgets that you would expect from a typical Sense UI.

It is available for BlackBerry users with OS 4.7 and above and can be yours for $2.99 at Crackberry. Previously there’s even a theme for BlackBerry that comes with the Droid X look.

HTC’s online remote management tool, HTCSense.com is now online. Initially it wasn’t accessible during the unveiling of HTC Desire Z and Desire HD. HTC Sense allows you to control your device remotely including diverting calls and even access your messages via the web. In event you lose your phone, it even allows you to track and to further extent of wiping your phone clean of your confidential data.

Good news is that it is available in Malaysia as shown in the list of countries. Bad news is that it only works for HTC Desire Z and HD. So those using the HTC Desire or even the recently launched Aria are currently left out. Hopefully HTC will expand the supported device with newer firmware updates for its current android HTC lineup.

Earlier on, you’ve seen a showcase video from HTC on the Desire HD. Next up is the Desire Z that comes with a unique QWERTY pop-out keyboard.

HTC has made several QWERTY devices in the past but somehow they didn’t offered one for Android after the original HTC Dream/G1. Although it is a matter of personal preference, a QWERTY keyboard is more appealing for power users that use them a lot for work. That could be one of factors why Motorola Droid is a top selling model. Even its replacement Droid 2 hasn’t changed much from its original form. Not to stand there and watch its rivals enjoy all the fun, HTC has joined in with the Desire Z.

Just a recap on the specs, it comes with the latest 800MHz Qualcomm 7230 processor, 1.5GB of internal storage and 512MB of RAM with expandable microSD slot. It’s also capable of recording 720p HD videos with its 5MP camera. The Desire Z now has with a dedicated camera button, which has been omitted on several HTC Android devices before.

The main design highlight would be the keyboard as it employs a “pop-hinge” mechanism which pops upwards and folds down in a Z motion, hence the Z in the name. On the QWERTY keyboard, HTC has also added 2 shortcut keys at the bottom right which is user customisable. Also not forgetting that it runs on Android 2.2 Froyo and the latest version of HTC Sense that’s vastly improved with new features. We seriously can’t wait for this to arrive in Malaysia.

Check out the video after the jump.

After our Unboxing Post of the HTC Legend, now it’s time to see if it works as good as it looks. We’re going to compare the user experience with the iPhone 3GS, a worthy competitor in this segment.

We’ll be showing you how it fares when it comes to typing, moving around through menus, internet browsing experience, media capabilities and of course photo and video performance.
