The description of HTC One V includes:

• Qualcomm MSM8255 1GHz processor
• Android 4.0 operating system with Sense 4.0

• A display of 7-inch and 480 x 800 pixels display resolution
• It weighs 115g

Build

• The design of HTC One V is very much similar to the predecessor HTC Legend and HTC Hero.
• Likewise, the material of the chassis is mainly aluminium.
• The bottom lip of the handset is slightly angled. The design feels a little awkward in the pocket, but it gives a distinct quality to the handset.
• Moreover, there are usual three touch sensitive buttons for Home, Menu and Back functions.
• The screen is slightly raised from its edges which feel irritating on contact.
• You can’t remove the back plate, so you can’t reach the battery.
• To reveal the SIM and microSD card slot, you can remove the plastic cover at the bottom of the handset.

 

Display

• The 3.7-inch screen feels very cramped.
• The 480 x 800 pixels of display resolution provides great clarity but the screen is clearly not ideal for video viewing and web browsing.

 

Camera

• There is no front camera.
• The back houses a 5-megapixel camera.
• Moreover, you can record videos at 720 pixels.
• In the same way, simultaneous video and image recording is possible.
• There is a continuous shooting mode that allows you to take many photographs and then choose which one you want to keep.

Performance

• The 1GHz processor is not the best one, but it is capable of performing many tasks without any noticeable lags.

Memory & Battery

• There is only 4 GB of built-in storage of which only 1GB is available to the user.
• Fortunately, the memory can be increased with a microSD card.
• Moreover, the 1500mAh battery won’t get you through a day of full use. As a result, you might need to keep the charger at hand.

Features

• HTC One V runs Android 4.0 operating system, which is up to date.
• Moreover, HTC Sense 4.0 has done a good job.
• In addition, five customisable home screens are available.
• Recent apps can now be viewed in a vertical scrolling fashion.

Verdict

Finally, HTC One V is more on the average side of the handsets; the internal specifications are not very impressive. It might be perfect for people who do not expect a lot from their phone. Considering the price the specifications are good but better alternatives are present in the market at the same price.
