- The HTC Velocity 4G features a solid build with dimensions of 128.8 x 67 x 11.3 mm and a weight of 163.8g, available in black.
- Its 4.5-inch S-LCD display offers a resolution of 540 x 960 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 245 ppi, though it lacks HDR support.

- The battery capacity is 1620 mAh, which may require frequent charging due to moderate usage demands.
- Running on Android 2.3.7, upgradeable to 4.0.4, it features Sense UI 3.5 for a customized experience.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 3.0, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
- The device also includes a microUSB 2.0 port for connectivity and charging.
