| The
great thing about dumbphones is that the majority of them are way more
durable than your average smartphone. However, HTC is hoping its HTC One
S is a little sturdier than rival devices. Announced at Mobile World
Congress last month, HTC boasted about the phone's sleek AMOLED display,
dual-core Snapdragon CPU, and sexily slim design. However, the company
also bragged that this phone's ultra-matte black ceramic metal surface
was the result of a microarc oxidation (MAO) process originally
developed for use in satellites. “It transforms the surface of the aluminum unibody into a ceramic, super-dense crystalline structure that is four times harder than anodized aluminum, enabling the HTC One S to look great over time,” the company said at the time. | |
