The ceramic surface on the HTC One S might have a problem.

HTC did a lot of bragging about the super tough ceramic finish on the black HTC One S. It is five times more durable than stainless steel, they said, but several user reports beg to disagree.

At least three separate users have noticed that the ceramic coating gets chipped in places and they claim they haven’t dropped the device. More and more reports keep rolling in too.

Note that the alleged issue only concerns the black HTC One S – its aluminum unibody is put through a process called micro arc oxidation. The grey one is anodized instead and there are no complaints about it for now.
