While HTC’s One X and One S jostle over which has the more potent processor, and customers weigh high-definition screens against high-science coatings, the One V has held back. Quite rightly, as this phone has no delusions of flagship grandeur. Negri Electronics has lent us an off-gray HTC One V to try out, although it will also be available in a black finish. With a nod to HTC’s design past, a now relatively modest 3.7-inch screen and a ho-hum single-core 1GHz processor, the phone’s looking to capture first-time smartphone buyers, along with anyone looking for a reasonably priced upgrade. For the money – around $346 (£229) – they’ll get the latest version of Android topped by a slightly tweaked version of HTC’s Sense 4 skin. Is this the new benchmark for entry-level smart phones? Can a such a weedy processor handle Android 4.0? And what’s with that chin? We’ll answer all those questions and more after the break.
