HTC Incredible S and Desire HD get Android 2.3.5 and Sense 3.0 treatment

| by Roydon Cerejo | Smartphones

HTC has delivered a nice little Christmas present to Incredible S and Desire HD owners. Android 2.3.5 has finally arrived for these droids along with Sense 3.0, which is quite a big update from the existing version. HTC is releasing this firmware in phases, as usual and folks from New Zealand, Portugal (among others) have already received the update for both phones. The firmware is available OTA, so keep checking it; you never know when you might get it. No word on whether this has hit India yet, so in case you happened to receive it, do let us know what changes it has made to the battery life and performance.

It is here after all

Sense 3.0 goodness is here

 


While this is a much needed update for Android, the same can’t be said for Sense, as it’s still not the latest version. HTC’s latest creation, Sense 3.5 can be found on phones like the Explorer and the Rhyme. Along with some new visual enhancements, users can now delete unwanted home screens and plus there are new widgets to play around with. Still, 3.0 is something better than nothing for a year-old phone.

We’ve already established that the Lumia 720 is Nokia’s best effort as far as Windows Phone 8 handsets go. This could soon change once the Lumia 925 hits markets, but as it stands now, the Lumia 720 offers the best blend of features and performance, wrapped in a beautiful package that’s quite affordable.
