The HTC One S has a slightly smaller screen that the One X, measuring in at 4.3″ and has a lower resolution – 540×960. This is the “middle” handset out of the three. It’s “only” got a dual-core CPU too, but it’s still 1.5GHz. The other specs remain …

Hey you, my lovely bargain hunting buddies. How do you fancy buying an Android “tablet” for just £29? Interested? Well, I should perhaps start off by saying that this “tablet” has a 2.8″ screen, so it’s probably more of a small MP3 player if we’re honest. The Archos …
