The HTC One V is mainly inspired by one of HTC's best-selling handsets, the HTC Legend.
If you are familiar with the HTC Legend, then I am sure that you will find the HTC One V as a Legend inspired smartphone. HTC loved the Legend so much that they've decided to create the One V using the very same design.
Let's talk about the phone's outer appearance. You will notice the same lip sticking out beneath the phone's screen. The usual angular and squared-off shape is present on this phone. However, it has been updated to fit the modern world of smartphones today. It also comes in a slimmer chassis and a smoother body. You will fall in love with this at first glance. This is most especially true with the phone's 3.7" screen. You won't find any buttons on this handset other than its volume slider and power button. The usual 3.5mm headphone jack and microUSB slot are present on this phone.
Let's take a look at the phone's software. This handset ships with the latest Android iteration the Ice Cream Sandwich and the latest version of Sense (HTC Sense 4.0). You will also get features in the likes of Beats Audio enhancement and redesigned homescreen widgets. They are now smarter and cleaner compared to their predecessors.
The phone comes in with a 1GHz processor. With this you can run multiple apps at the same time or watch your favorite HD video and never have to experience the phone slowing down on you. In short, multi-tasking is not an issue when it comes to this handset.
The One V ships with a 5MP camera sensor with flash. You will be able to take continuous shots on this handset. Overall, the phone's software is quite easy to use and operate.
With the phone's 3.7" LCD screen (480 x 800 pixels for its resolution) you can choose to use the keyboard in landscape or portrait mode when typing. If you want your whole typing experience to be that comfortable, then it is highly suggested that you use the landscape mode. But then again, the portrait mode is bundled with high-quality view and allows you to enjoy autocorrect on this handset as well.
With the addition of the latest Android iteration, it is not that hard to fall in love with this handset. It may have retained the same design as the HTC Legend but there are tons of things that you will love on this handset. This is also a smartphone that will suit your budget.
This is the Legend inspired smartphone. This is the HTC One V.
