Slow motion feature that exists on One X also implanted into One S, slow motion video recording will drastically reduce the video quality. A bit short is when doing a video recording the backside of the phone was hot, so a bit of interrupting.

Speaking of sound quality, the speaker out on the phone is not as strong as the One X, the resulting sound is less powerful and sounded softly.
