Re-introduces the much loved HTC Hero styling
Solid HTC build quality
Battery life was good in our tests
Like a lot of HTC smartphones the One V feels like a top quality bit if kit. Its unibody design feels solid
Reassuring and as if it would be resilient enough in the long term. The ridged design feature that runs along the edge delivers a nice grip unlike some polycarbonate phones. The Android 4.0 experience might feel diluted somewhat by the inclusion of HTC Sense but not by much. You get the be

Single core chip
User interface feels sluggish at times
5MP camera isn't going to replace your digital point-and-shoot camera
HTC One V design
HTC One V is an unusual looking handset in a sea of almost identical touchscreen phones that fill the High S
With dual-core and quad-core phones (such as the HTC One X) hitting the shops
Or about to
The HTC One V’s single core 1GHz processor is already beginning to feel dated. Sure
It’s quick enough
But not as quick as it could be in comparison to some of the phones we’ll soon be lusting after such as the Samsung Galaxy S3. Video also seems to lack some detail when shooting subjects at long range

Sluggish at times
Especially for web browsing
Typing can be cramped
Slightly poor filming
No Beats headphones
Cramped keyboard

Abstract: We've reviewed a handful of Android 4 Ice Cream Sandwich smartphones over the last few months, but they've all been on the pricey side. The HTC One V, on the other hand, is a rather more affordable option at just over £200 without a contract – this is ...

Abstract: HTC's 2012 smartphone lineup numbers three handsets as we write this. The One X is the flagship, with its quad core processor and generally blistering specifications. The One S is a smaller, more pocketable offering . And the One V is the baby of the bunc...
Android 4.0 ICS, excellent screen, good spec for price,
Processor struggles a bit when browsing
Unlike most midrange Android phones, the HTC One V gives you the latest Android Ice Cream Sandwich straight out of the box. Add to that a quality casing, beautiful interface, fine screen and an okay camera, and despite its rather sluggardly processor, ...
Upon seeing that the HTC One V has an affordable price, consumers will want to try it right away. And they should. But if you crave a great CPU, the version on this phone won't quench your thirst....

For a low-end smartphone, the One V would more accurately be called a "very good mid-range smartphone at a low-end price". And how does it stand compared to the Huawei Honor? It's better across the board. ...
Abstract: The HTC One V has crashed the budget party in premium fancy dress; its sturdy aluminium build gives it a reassuring feel in the hand, while its 3.7in, 800x480 display offers detailed, vibrant colours. Throw in camera tricks from its big brother the One X ...
The One V is a thorough refresh of the Hero/Legend form factor but for a phone that is in the mid-price rather than budget category, the absence of a front camera is a drawback. And don’t forget, the new dual-core S-AMOLED 4in Samsung Galaxy S Advance...
The HTC One V isn't the lowest cost budget Android phone you can get your hands on, in fact, it is at the upper end of the budget side of things. If you can squeeze your limited finances and find the cash, it is probably the best of the budget bunch, off...
