Comparisons Featuring HTC One V
Short Review
- The HTC One V features a compact design with dimensions of 120.3 x 59.7 x 9.2 mm and a lightweight build at 115g.
- Its 3.7-inch Super LCD2 display offers a resolution of 480 x 800 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 252 ppi, suitable for basic tasks but lacking HDR support.
- Performance is driven by a Qualcomm MSM8255 Snapdragon S2 chipset with a 1.0 GHz Scorpion CPU and Adreno 205 GPU, paired with 4GB of storage and 512MB of RAM, which may limit multitasking.
- The rear camera is a 5 MP unit capable of 720p video recording, while the front lacks a selfie camera.
- Battery capacity is 1500mAh, with no fast charging or wireless capabilities.
- Running on Android 4.0.3 with Sense UI 4, the software experience is dated and not upgradeable.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 4.0, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
- The phone is available in black and brown, but lacks water resistance.
- Overall, the HTC One V is a basic smartphone with limited features suitable for casual users.
