Hi there,
this is what i have found.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snapdragon_(system_on_chip)
Scoll down to the S4 MSM8260a there is the One S listed. It also says that the cpu frequence is between 1.5 - 1,7 GHz. I dont actually think HTC is going to build in the S3. Thats the HTC Ville C with the overclocked S3 MSM8260. This is only shipped in the Asian Areas like Taiwan IMO.
Correct me if im wrong.

Is there any way to tell at a store (tmobile, best buy, costco, etc...) by looking at printed info on the box if it has the s3 or s4?
Actually i really dont know. The only way i can imagine is to ask directly in the shop, if it is a S3 or a S4 SoC.
But i think if the One S is released in your country already you have a good chance to get the S4.

if you want to check which version you have just download SetCPU from Play Store.
then go to "Info" tab -> "Device"
Write down the "Board:" value then go check @wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snapdragon_(system_on_chip)
mine says MSM8960 wich is a Snapdragon S4
easy

Orange Romania sells the S3 version also, bastards, with renewal just around the corner... https://www.orange.ro/magazin-online/telefoane/htc-one-s
Hi all
Nice to meet you all as this been my first post.
Just a quick question as i am thinking of getting a HTC one s as i live in the uk and wanted to know if its safe to get one of these because of the recesnt news about a lower quality version of the screen and the of a S3 chip.
Will the uk ever get this version or will it be safe ? or will the uk keep getting the S4 version with the super almond screen.
Thanks for any help of info in advance.

Don't think UK will keep getting s4 version, since HTC UK website starts to say 1.5-1.7ghz of the CPU rather than just 1.5.
However, it takes time to introduce new s3 version and there should be still some s4 stock left so it may be safe to get an one s now.
After all, you can mention this to your store either it's an operator or independent seller like CPW or Phones4u, if they don't have s4, refuse to buy. Simple.
To know which one is which one, check box to see the model number, z520 is s4, z560, s3, avoid. Or, see the CPU speed, should be 1.5g not 1.7g.
Hope this helps.

Just noticed this on the HTC UK website:
Discuss...
God Damn it. I'm looking to upgrade from my DS. But if it has the bloody S3 chip, it's a no go for me
Desire S • Fallout V2.0.0 • xda premium

Sup oly, I'm actually gonna go back to CPW today and replace mine after chipping. If I am lucky, they may have models with the slightly redesigned body (SH24T or later), because I've seen a few pics of that posted. Either all of them are redesigned from that batch onwards, or those pics I saw were just flukes. Either way, just look out for the model number and CPU speed and serial number on the box to make sure you get S4. The sooner the better.
It's the serial number, it's on the back of the box. First six characters should be SH24TW actually, just to be safe.
This is just a theory of mine based on what I've seen around forums. Can't guarantee anything, so double check the model number is Z520e and the CPU speed is 1.5 GHz, you will definitely get the S4 chip in this case but no guarantee on redesign.
What the hell... this surely sux... I was about to RMA my phome because of the homebutton-switching problem, but what if i get a phone with an S3 back instead of an S4?? That's not what i payed for. On the german site they also say clockspeeds 1.5~1.7Ghz...
Seems to be the global strategy now... What a poor move from HTC...

I think if you have already gotten the phone with s4, and want to send it back for various reasons, mention explicitly the same model with s4 and super amoled.
It is different from buying a new one, in that case it's down to your luck but sending back, you are definitely in the position asking for the same spec you bought.
Effectively s3 version is a different phone cos it has different model number. You wouldn't expect sending one s away and getting desire back would you?
So just demand!

Qualcom is the chip producer and they have been having troubles meeting the demand for the new S4 chip for a while and this piece of news was published ages ago.
Lol if you are going to RMA your phone for the Home Button Issue make a statement here first: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1679649&page=4
[EDIT]
Just seen you posted there already...
And if you get an S3 version from RMA, it might even fix your Button Issue as there is that theory saying that the Button malfunctions due to radio interference from the Radio Chip sitting right below it. So if the Board layout changes with the SoC it might shift the Radio Chip away from the Button? Funny thought. Probably Bullcrap but worth a smile anyway

Yes in theory it could work, But to be honest, Im a little fed up with HTC & Vodafone, ever since i got HTC with vodafone ive had nothing but trouble, However Ive had HTC's on other networks and been fine.
So if they send me the S3 version, Surely i can refuse to accept it and/or get the contract terminated as that is not the version i signed up for.
To be honest the S4 chip was one of the big USP's for me. Although S3 is a good chip, Its not what im paying for / nor agreed to.

4Apparently HTC support says the S3 version will be released globally.
Hooray for the new One S: Handicapped Sibling Edition.1Considering that S4 is faster than their flagship quad core and even GS3, this might be happening for 2 reasons:
1. HTC wants to increase One X sale, and they do not want some other model to steal the thunder.
2. Samsung purchased all S4s for themselves, or bribed the company making them. Something similar happened in the past - they used the fact they owned the company making amoleds in Desire vs Galaxy battle. So stopped shipping them and turned the tables in favor of their Galaxy S. That's how I got my SGS, they had no Desires in stock.

You should get s4, since HTC just changed to s3 recently.
I am in UK, bought the phone mid of April, and exchanged one for the tempered sign reason. Still s4.
So yours should be fine.
Check yourself, download benchmark software antutu or quadrant from play store, they show the detail of the chip.

Have you downloaded quadrant from play store? There is system information option which shows chip detail. It should show MSM8960 as you got international version from UK as I did, it means s4.
Yes, 384-1512mhz could mean s4 cos s3 will be clocked upto 1.7ghz while s4 only gets to 1.5g. You are fine mate, I am 99.999% sure
Sent from my HTC One S using XDA1
Not sure about model number, anyone know if LCD version desire has different model number from amoled version one? HTC should follow the same pattern.
1.5G should indicate s4.
