context_page_description: The HTC Incredible S, also known as the Incredible 2, is a smartphone designed and manufactured by Taiwan's HTC Corporation originally running the Android 2.2 operating system. Officially announced by HTC on February 15, 2011
  at MWC 2011 in Barcelona, Spain alongside the HTC Desire S and the HTC Wildfire S, the HTC Incredible S was launched exclusively in the UK to Carphone Warehouse & Best Buy on February 26, 2011 marketed by Sarah Harding of Girls Aloud.
  The Incredible S is the successor to the Droid Incredible.
context_section_description: The HTC Incredible S is the latest of a long line of smartphones based around the 1 GHz Snapdragon chipset made by Qualcomm. In terms of hardware, it is very similar to the Desire HD with a few notable differences:
  Smaller screen: 4.0" compared to 4.3"
  Larger Battery: 1,450 mAh compared to 1230mAh
  Screen technology: An S-LCD screen compared to the original Desire's AMOLED display. However, the Desire's screen was replaced with an S-LCD on later versions.
  Addition of a 1.3 MP fixed-focus front-facing camera for video calling
  In a move seen as a new trend for HTC, the antenna for the phone is built into the back cover of the case (this is also true of the HTC Sensation). A unique feature of the Incredible S is the auto-rotating nature of the capacitive buttons below the screen.
  Despite HTC recent design trend, the back is made of a rubberised plastic instead an aluminium body, presumably to help improve signal reception. The front is mainly covered by a sheet of gorilla glass, with a thin aluminium surround. In addition to the specification already mentioned, the Incredible S houses dual microphones for noise cancellation.
