Comparisons Featuring HTC Desire V
Short Review
- The HTC Desire V features a compact design with dimensions of 118.5 x 62.3 x 9.3 mm and a lightweight build at 114 grams.
- Its 4.0-inch TFT display offers a resolution of 480 x 800 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 233 ppi, which is adequate for basic tasks but lacks HDR support.
- Performance is driven by a Qualcomm MSM7227A Snapdragon S1 chipset, a 1.0 GHz Cortex-A5 CPU, and 4GB of RAM, providing limited multitasking capabilities.
- The 5 MP rear camera includes autofocus but lacks optical image stabilization and can record video at 480p resolution.
- Battery life is supported by a 1650 mAh capacity, with no fast charging or wireless charging options available.
- The device runs on Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) with HTC's Sense UI 4, offering a user-friendly interface but limited software updates.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.0, and a microUSB 2.0 port, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
- The absence of stereo speakers is noted, while a standard headphone jack is included for audio.
- Available colors are black and white, though the build materials are unspecified.
- Overall, the HTC Desire V is a basic smartphone with essential features suitable for casual users.
