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. You get a modest Qualcomm Snapdragon S2 MSM8255 chipset which has become the centerpiece of second-generation Windows Phones with its 1 GHz single-core Scorpion processor plus Adreno 205 graphics chip. Though it sports a somewhat standard 800-by-480-pixel resolution, the smaller-than-typical 3.7-inch real estate of the super LCD 2 makes for a sharp 252-pixel-per-inch density. It looks sharp, and gets very bright.
The One V has an interesting look. It's made of a matte gray aluminum on the back and sides, along with a glass display. One key to HTC's success in the past has crafting phones with daring designs and easily available HTC One V repair parts. The HTC One V furthers the Legend's premium looks by flaunting its unibody aluminum chassis. Painted in a luxurious deep black, the One V's metal surface is matte, possessing an almost sandpaperlike roughness.
HTC One V, like its One branded siblings, features very few physical buttons, On top you'll find a sleep-come-power button and 3.5mm headphone jack. The right side houses a long, thin volume rocker while the handset's left side contains a Micro-USB port. Three capacitive buttons for back, home, and recent programs sit below the screen.
The 5-megapixel autofocus camera is powered by HTC's ImageChip and starts up almost immediately. It snaps photos instantaneously, though you have to wait a second or so between shots. Photos look good, with a nice balance of color and detail for indoor and outdoor shots. Recorded 720p videos averaged 28 frames per second outdoors, but suffered from brief pauses every few seconds. Indoors, videos recorded at 24 fps, but had some issues with focusing. There's no front-facing camera, so video chat is out.
HTC has put quite an effort when it comes to pre-installed apps on the device. Third-party apps that ship with the smartphone include Facebook, Twitter, Dropbox, Polaris Office, 7Digital (a music downloading service, and TuneIn Radio (on-line streaming player). Even HTC repair services are not so costly as many of you think. The handset offers strong signal across a broad range of locations when using a cellular network and solid access to the web and a host of internet-dependent applications when connected to a Wi-Fi network.
The HTC One V is a good midrange phone. It's very comfortable to use, has a great display, and runs Android 4.0 with some nice additions from HTC Sense. Jumping firmly on the Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich bandwagon, the HTC One V sees a joyous combination of software with the fledgling operating system joining forces with an improved version of the already much loved HTC Sense UI. Overall, HTC One V for Virgin Mobile offers good software at a good price.
