HTC One V Video Transcript

Hey, everyone. It's Jessica Dolcourt from CNET here at Mobile World Congress 2012 in Barcelona. This is the HTC 1B here in the room with 20 light (aces?). This will run Android 4.0 i-print (from the West?) with Sun's 4.0. That's the HTC interface. It's about a 3.7-inch screen and it also has this design with a little chip that it does have at the bottom, very similar to the HTC legend that came before. Now, we'll have a 5 Megapixel camera that we utilize HTC's new imaging chip that will be for processing images and videos. It's supposed to be great with low lighting. So we'll get that to the test for sure. And also, we're gonna have this audio integrated in it and the whole thing runs off of a 1 Gigahertz (fulcrum?) processor. It will come to the US in a lot of part of Q2. No pricing yet but do expect it on some of the retailing carriers in the US. I'm Jessica Dolcourt. This is your first almost look at the HTC 1B and you can find out all about the other phones at Mobile World Congress on cnet.com

HTC One V Review

The good: The HTC One V's bent chin is a refreshing take on an old design, and its aluminum chassis feels great. The 5-megapixel camera delivers good value for the price.

The bad: The One V's nonremovable battery lasts for about a day, and the single-core 1GHz processor is sluggish.

The bottom line: As the lower-cost cousin to HTC's higher-end One X and One S, the One V won't win the processor speed race, but it comes loaded with a few surprises of its own.
