TELUS to Launch HTC One S at $569.99 SIM-Free on May 17th

Canadian mobile phone carrier TELUS is reportedly gearing up for the release of new HTC smartphones on its airwaves, and the HTC One S should be one of them.

The wireless operator might put the new mobile phone up for order as soon as May 17th, with the most appealing price tags attached to it.

According to leaked documents that emerged over at MobileSyrup, the Android smartphone will run for only $569.99 (445 Euros) contract-free at TELUS, which is $30 less than what other carriers ask for it in the same conditions.

For those who would rather go for a monthly contract instead of purchasing only the device, TELUS has some other offerings in store.

Thus, users can choose a 3-year contract agreement on a minimum monthly spend of $50, so that they would pay only $99.99 for the new HTC smartphone.

If purchased with a 2-year contract, the HTC One S would go for $469.99 (367 Euros), while being priced at $519.99 (405 Euros) on 1-year contracts.

The HTC One S arrives on shelves with a 1.5 GHz dual-core application processor packed inside, complemented by 1GB of RAM.

It sports a 4.3-inch AMOLED Colour LCD touchscreen display that can deliver a qHD resolution (960 x 540 pixels) and features an 8-megapixel photo snapper on the back, with HD video recording capabilities, complemented by a 1.3MP front-facing camera for making video calls.

HTC also packed the new handset with 16GB of internal storage, as well as with access to 25GB of free space on Dropbox. HTC One S also arrives on shelves with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity capabilities, as well as with support for 3G networks.

Running under Google’s Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich operating system with the Sense 4.0 UI on top of it, the new device also features Beats Audio technology inside.
