HTC One V review

A 5MP camera-toting Android 4.0-powered smartphone we can afford

Desirable design ; Bright, responsive screen ; Impressive camera ; Strong browser and UI

Slightly poor filming ; No Beats headphones ; Cramped keyboard ; Not dual-core ; Just 4GB storage

An impressive handset, the HTC One V has filtered down a selection of previously used specs to a new budget-friendly price tag, packaging it in an impressive and desirable shell.

HTC One V

The HTC One V hasn't had the same degree of attention that the One X or the One S have. As such, it's at risk of becoming the "other" phone, the one that gets ignored. But picking up the design of 2010's HTC Legend and offering a device for those who...

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

Overall there is a lot to like about the HTC One V. It is a well-designed phone, small in modern terms, but still giving you enough space to interact with the display, accepting the fact that you'll have to live with doing more zooming in webpages if...

HTC One V review

This £250 (and under) smartie is our current darling for best all-round value and a premium feel – so where's the compromise?

Vibrant and snapper-friendly, the One V is one of the best budget phones around

HTC One V review

The design of the HTC One V is quite different from the HTC One X and HTC One S. It has a much squarer look and a return of HTC's 'curved-chin' which the firm says makes the phone easier to hold and is a 'distinctive accessory to your life'. Our...

The HTC One V is simply the best budget Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich smartphone on the market. For a mere £200 you get a solid handset with a great screen, the latest software and reasonable hardware and reliable battery life.

Expert Review

The 1GHz processor clearly isn’t up there with the very best of them, but we found it perfectly acceptable to work with. More irritating, perhaps, is that there is just 4GB of built in storage, though a microSD can be used to add more so even that is...

HTC One V Android smartphone

Review In the beginning was the Hero [1] and then came the Legend [2], and now the Legend has sired the One V. Yes, the V is the runt of the One litter but its forebears had a solid following and, as a one-time Hero owner, I'm hoping the bloodline is...

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...

HTC One V

The HTC One V is a smartphone powered by the Android 4.0 operating system. It measures 12.33mm x 59.7mm x 9.24mm and weighs 115 grams. It has a 3.7-inch screen with a 480 x 800 resolution. The HTC One V also has a 1GHz resolution and 4GB of total...

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...
