HTC announced several new Android-based devices today, starting their updated lineup of phones from the HTC Desire series – HTC Desire S.

HTC Desire S has been announced at MWC’11 which is powered by the Qualcomm’s new 1GHz Snapdragon MSM8255 processor and now has a 3.7-inch display screen.

As a successor to the popular and award-winning HTC Desire, the new HTC Desire S blends stunning design with power and speed. Inspired by the HTC Legend™ smartphone’s aluminium design, the HTC Desire S is sculpted out of a single block of aluminum making it feel solid and natural in your hand. With Qualcomm’s new 1GHz Snapdragon™ MSM8255 processor, the HTC Desire S offers snappy performance and power. It offers dual front and back cameras, High-Definition video recording and the 3.7-inch WVGA display presents multimedia content brilliantly.

In my opinion, HTC needs to seriously start working on the design of their new phones. They all have the same look/design as we first saw in the Nexus One. HTC Desire S don’t seem to bring any significant changes as how Samsung and LG have updated their lineup.
