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
Y
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
Compact and lightweight, Beautiful display, Android 4.0, Decent camera,
Web browser needs more work, Way too little internal storage, Mediocre 720p video
It has a strong form factor that is sturdy and aesthetically pleasing, which separates it from other candybar plastic-backed offerings currently available. ICS on-board combined with the latest Sense UI is a worthwhile experience on the device. Overal...
Abstract: The One V has one cool feature that I haven't seen on any other Android phone. I get tired of typing my email address over while setting up various accounts on a new phone. The One V uses auto-complete, remembering what you've typed previously and offerin...

Nice display. Runs Android and Sense 4.0. Comfortable size.
No 4G. Midrange hardware. No front camera. Chin design isn't for everyone
The HTC One V for Virgin Mobile offers good software at a good price, but it's a little underpowered....
The HTC One V is an all-around solid performer. It may lack the sex appeal and flashy specs of its larger HTC brothers, but for this class of device, it's hard to beat. The aluminum materials and Leno-esque chin give the One V a great little personality, ...
Abstract: The HTC One V is third in line in the One series of Android 4.0 powered devices from HTC. The One V now available on Virgin mobile prepaid network for $199 is what I like to call an action packed smartphone . Meaning, its got a lot in a small frame. It ru...

The HTC One V is affordable, compact, and elegant, and runs Android 4.0 and Sense 4. It has a nimble camera and colorful screen.
A slow processor and pokey 3G data hold the One V back.
Demanding Android fans won't like the HTC One V's slow performance but its premium design and low, no-contract price makes it a steal on Virgin Mobile.

The HTC One V's premium design is fashionable but demanding Android fans should steer clear of this phone's poor performance.

Abstract: There are many cheap Android phones on the market today. Most of these devices will have a single core processor clocked at around 1GHz, and there won't be an awful lot of RAM to speak of either. This remains true of the HTC One V, but the latest budge...
