The HTC one V is an impressive package for its price. For AU$30 a month on Optus, you can choose between the One V, the Motorola Defy Mini or the Motorola Razr V for an extra AU$5 a month. If it were up to us, we'd choose the One V.

Fantastic Super LCD screen; Solid battery life; HTC Sense UI; That great HTC "chin" design

Could use more processing grunt; Camera has great features; but final photos could be better

The HTC One V may be the company's latest budget Android phone, but it certainly doesn't look or feel cheap. Boasting an attractive, aluminium unibody design that was made famous by the , the HTC One V features most of the same software enhancements used across the entire One range.

Excellent build quality; Android and Sense 4.0; Good value for money

Sharp edges around screen; Non-removable battery; No front-facing camera

Over recent months we've seen the high end members of HTC's One family of smartphones, and now it is the turn of the budget One V. Designed as a cheap entry into the family, the One V is noticeably smaller than the other One models, and uses both a 3.7in 480 x 800 screen and single core Qualcomm...

Note: Because this phone is considered to be a mid to entry-level smart phone, I am not comparing it

Very good value as an entry or mid-level smart phone

No front-facing camera

Device works well sometimes, make sure your international gsm service providers actually support this device- don't just buy it cause it says unlocked.

Guess I can start with the positives, it is quite good looking, with a pretty neat design and strong build quality it makes for a pleasant thing to hold and use. I actually think the positives stop there, however you can't really blame HTC too much, as the phone performs as the specs say, a single...

Good entry level phone for light usage with Premium feel. But this is not gonna be your phone for the long run. You'd feel it's lacking in the inside. Hardware is on the low end, which translates to slower performance.

Premium-feel build quality; Good SLCD Display PPI

Low Processor & RAM; Below Average Call Quality; Below Average Audio Output

I love this phone. It does everything. Also it came with lots of extras that make it a great price. Runs multiple apps without slowing down. Lots of storage without an sd card which it did not come with it.

Got this mobile phone yesterday on time i.e. 22nd Spet which I ordered on 18th Sept in a good condition. As of now haven't explored the phone much and as its my first android device it will take time to getting used to it.

It is a very good entry level phone. If you think you want a phone that is worth boasting, sure, get the HTC one s or One X. The 1GHZ processor performs very well and I am very impressed.
