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...
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 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
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.

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

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...
