HTC 8S review: a budget Windows Phone that doesn't compromise on style

When we got our paws on the HTC 8X, it's fair to say that we were smitten with the design. We're happy to say we felt the same way when we first met the smaller, more colorful, 8S. Here too, HTC's inspiration comes from Windows Phone 8 itself, with clean lines dominating the overall aesthetic. While much of the design language apes its larger sibling, the 8S does have an identity of its own, the most obvious difference being the chin, which has a different color than the rest of the handset. Our review model is black and white, but there are more vibrant options available, including the same blue shade offered on the 8X. Unlike its big brother, though, the 8S isn't made from one block of polycarbonate, or if it is, it certainly isn't one piece now.
That chin is removable, and hides the phone's SIM and microSD card slots (this might be a good time to remind everyone that you won't find a memory card reader on the 8X). We definitely welcome the option to expand the -- somewhat limited -- 4GB internal storage, and hiding it away here means that it doesn't interfere too much with the overall design. The little plastic clip-on section, however, can be difficult to re-attach; it often took us several attempts. Once you've got it back on properly, though, it sits flush enough to create the illusion that the device is one solid unit. HTC might have given us access to our SIM and memory cards, but you're out of luck if you want to get at the 1,700mAh battery, as that's hidden away along with pretty much everything else.
The back has a soft-touch finish, and arcs out in a "pillow-like" fashion similar to the 8X. The 8S might be smaller diagonally (with a 4-inch, rather than 4.3-inch display), but it's actually a shade thicker at 10.28mm (compared to 10.12). This isn't particularly noticeable, but if you hold both in the hand at the same time, you can sense the 8S is a little... stouter feeling. The rear is also where you'll find the 5-megapixel camera, embossed HTC logo, discreet Beats branding and drilled speaker holes at the bottom. The front is equally sparse, with the black screen and bezel only being broken up by the top grille which matches the main body color -- somewhat less noticeable on the black version we have here.
At the other end, on top of the colored base, are the standard Windows Phone capacitive buttons. The glass front is entirely flat, and sits flush with the polycarbonate casing -- unlike the slightly protruding, curved screen edges of the 8X. The sides are tapered, but still play host to the usual facilities. In this case, we have a headphone jack and power / standby button up top, a micro-USB port centered on the bottom, and a volume rocker on the right-hand side. There's also a dedicated camera button just beneath this, leaving the other side free of distractions. The result is a phone that is wonderfully easy to use with one hand, and the curved back means it sits there comfortably at the same time.
As for what's inside, that display is WVGA (800 x 480), which translates to a modest density of 233 ppi. There's Gorilla Glass 2 to protect it, though, and the 4-inch non-PenTile RGB Super LCD looks bright and crisp, despite the slightly low resolution. If you inspect icons and images close up, you can definitely see the rougher edges, but you'll have to really be looking for them. Likewise, blacks are displayed well, and colors appear bright and balanced. Similar to what we found with the 8X, the range of viewing angles seems a little more constricted than what we've seen from other HTC handsets.
Deeper down in the engine room, you'll find a 1GHz dual-core Qualcomm S4 Snapdragon chugging along with 512MB of RAM, which so far make the specifications very similar to the HTC Desire X. As for radios, the HTC 8S supports GSM / GPRS / EDGE (850/900/1800/1900 MHz) and UMTS / HSPA+ (900/2100MHz). Along with those, you'll also find Bluetooth 3.1 and 801.11b/g/n, plus GPS and GLONASS antennas. So the main differences between this and the 8X are fewer HSPA+ bands (the 8X also supports 1900 and 850) and no NFC.

Samsung Galaxy S III mini review

Fast forward to the present, and it's no longer a matter of intellectual debate as to what the mini is all about: the phone is here, and on sale in much of Europe for £299 / €379. So hubris, brand appeal and pundit talk aside, is this the real-deal Galaxy S III, just for smaller hands? Or is it a budget phone simply wearing its elder sibling's tuxedo to the ball? We spent some time getting to know the phone in an attempt to find out.
If you happen to own a Galaxy S III, it might be useful to get it out of your pocket or handbag and rest it on some surface beside you -- now, if that's possible. For a lot of what we are about to describe will otherwise seem eerily familiar. But, rather than labor the GS3 comparisons right from the off, we'll give the Galaxy S III mini the individual attention it's entitled to, and then we'll see how (and maybe why) it differs.
Previous Galaxy phones have typically been pretty subdued when it comes to the design flair. They've been relatively nondescript oblongs of plastic, furnished with the requisite details to let you, the user, make calls, browse the web and otherwise get on with your mobile life. The third iteration of the Galaxy S line was the first major departure from this comfortable, familiar arrangement, but one that was welcome. This same design language -- the curved top and bottom, the metal-look accents, et cetera -- is in full effect here.
All told, the Galaxy S III mini is a handsome enough device. Our review model was the marble white version (pebble blue is also available), which looks bright and modern in person. The smooth lines along the top and bottom make the whole thing feel like one continuous shape, almost circle-like, which again makes it feel much more like part of Samsung's 2012 lineup than, say, the Galaxy Beam. Dimensions-wise, it's 2.4 inches wide by 4.7 inches tall, and just a touch over a third of an inch deep. A large device -- unsurprisingly -- this is not. Those measurements are what frame this phone's defining feature -- a 4-inch Super AMOLED PenTile display, which we'll talk about in more detail later on.
Above this screen is the grille for the earpiece, the front-facing (VGA) camera and a couple of sensors. Below it, the familiar Samsung "home" button, as well as two capacitive buttons: one for "menu," the other for back. Neither are visible until the screen is activated, at which point their backlighting will bring them to your attention. The rest of the device's personality comes from the metallic detail around the home button, and around the outermost part of the bezel.
