The HTC One S will have a thickness of only 8.9mm, the thinnest smartphone ever launched by HTC. The HTC One S will come with a dual-core 1.5GHz CPU, a 4.3-inch HD AMOLED display and runs on Android 4.0, sina added.
The HTC One X and HTC One S will aslo be the first models supporting HTC’s new music streaming service co-developed with Beats Audio.

Sorry to be pedantic but the title of this article should be “HTC to re-name …” rather than HTC to re-Christen …”. Phones do not belong to any religion.
