A 1 GHz Snapdragon MSM8255 chipset runs things here, paired with 768 MB RAM and 1.1 GB internal storage that you can stretch further with a microSD card up to 32 GB. The 3.7-inch S-LCD screen runs at 480 x 800 pixels, which was standard fare for its time, and the phone ships on Android 2.3 Gingerbread with a path to upgrade to Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich.

HTC Desire S price in Malaysia starts from RM359. On the camera side you get a 5 MP rear shooter with autofocus and LED flash, capable of 720p video at 30fps, plus a VGA front camera for basic selfies and video calls. Wifi, GPS with A-GPS, Bluetooth 2.1, and a stereo FM radio round out the connectivity.

Battery capacity sits at 1450 mAh, modest by any recent standard but in line with the compact 130g body and 11.6mm thickness. It comes in Black or Red, and at this price point it's really a device for collectors or anyone after a cheap secondary phone rather than daily-driver performance.
