Overview

HTC S730

Editors rating
Rating: 7.5
Verdict

This update to the S710 adds little apart from 3G/HSDPA connectivity. In fact, the S730 is slightly heavier than its predecessor and delivers less battery life. Whether you go for the S730 will depend largely on how much you need 3G.

Typical price

£ 243
