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

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
Not dual
Core
Just 4GB storage
Tad slow at times
Measly onboard storage
Disappointing video
Old hardware means it's a little slow
Some missing features could have been incorporated
I'm used to smartphones lasting around a day on battery life now. The One V did a little better and still had charge at midnight even after I'd powered it up at 6AM. There was a whiff of industrial design about this and it felt really good in the hand. I...

The HTC One V is a very capable phone indeed, crammed with all features a smartphone owner could want. Its 1GHz processor means it isn’t quite the standout device it could be but for a budget device the HTC One V does itself proud. HTC One V is tagged...
Sluggish at times, especially for web browsing, Typing can be cramped
The HTC One V is an attractive addition to Android's mid-range. It looks good, feels great, has a reasonable camera and apps aplenty. The con? Slightly sluggish web browsing....

Slightly poor filming, No Beats headphones, Cramped keyboard, Not dual, core, Just 4GB storage
An all-round impressive handset, the HTC One V is a smartphone that has filtered down a selection of previously used specs to a new budget-friendly price tag, packaging it in an impressive and desirable shell in the process. Although those looking for a ...
Compact, nice design and construction, latest software, microSD card slot
Old hardware means it's a little slow, some missing features could have been incorporated
Great design for a phone at this level and it's nice to have the latest software, but the limitations lie in the old hardware that powers it. A great phone, as long as you accept its limitations...
Abstract: HTC's mid-range One V smartphone has definitely had a lot to fight against; since its announcement at Mobile World Congress in February, the device has been overshadowed by its older siblings; the dual-core One S and quad-core One X.Nonetheless, the One V...
The HTC One V may be the baby of the company's new One series of smartphones, but it comes with much of the same software features as higher priced models like the One X and the One S. ...
