HTC One V specifications, description, reviews, price. HTC Desire V: specifications and reviews

Within this small material, two models of smartphones will be considered at once: HTC DESIRE V and HTC ONE V. Specifications, technical parameters and other important information will be given in this review. Both the first device, and the second appeared on sale 2 years ago. But even now they can still be bought. However, their parameters over the past 2 years have become both morally and physically obsolete.

Equipment

They have identical equipment. In its composition, except for the device itself, are:

1. Battery (for ONE Its capacity is 1500 mA / h, and for DESIRE - 1650 mA / h).
2. A standard stereo headset.
3. Charger.
4. Cord "MicroUSB / USB".
5. Operating instructions for the device.
6. Warranty card.

All the rest (for example, a cover or protective film) will have to be bought separately for an additional fee.

Body and work comfort

The case of the ONE smartphone is made of metal (back cover and side ribs, as well as the bottom projection under the screen) and tempered glass (front panel above the display). Everything is done qualitatively, there are no gaps and no backlashes. An unusual feature of this device is the lower ledge. You need to get used to it, but there are also tangible advantages from its appearance.

The first of them - the phone is more convenient to hold in hands, and the second - the microphone is closer to the lips, and the quality of the sound during the conversation becomes an order of magnitude better. A slightly different situation with the case for HTC DESIRE V BLACK. Its characteristics indicate that the body is made of plastic (back and sides), and the front panel is made of the same tempered glass. Build quality in this case is worse. There are certain backlashes. And the body can not be called monolithic language.

Another nuance, which this smartphone differs from the previous one, is the absence of a lower bend. Display diagonal for ONE And DESIRE is almost the same. In the first case, it is 3.7 inches, and in the second - 4. Manage any of these devices with only one hand will not be difficult. In addition, the buttons and keys are identical to them. The power button is on the top side of the gadget, and the volume swing is on the right side of the gadget. Three standard touch keys are located above the bottom edge of the device.

CPU

An interesting situation for these devices turned out with a central processor. As in the first, and in the second case it is a question of chips of the company "Kualcom". Only here in ONE is installed a more productive CPU, and its cost is much lower (the price for it now is $ 150, and for DESIRE - $ 160), and it is positioned in the segment of the initial devices. The only thing that needs to be done is the amount of supported SIM cards. In ONE there is only one slot for their installation, and in DESIRE - 2. So, ONE has a single-core processor MCM8255 based on the Scorpion architecture. Its maximum frequency in the peak load mode is 1 GHz.

In turn, the MCM7227 CPU is installed in HTC DESIRE V. Technical characteristics are more modest. Yes, the frequency is the same - 1 GHz, but the architecture of the A5 is ten times weaker than the Scorpion. Therefore, from the perspective of performance, it is preferable to choose ONE, but to date, this difference is not so significant. The computing power of microcircuits is enough for solving such problems: watching movies, listening to audio files, surfing the Internet resources, reading books and running unpretentious games.

Graphics and Display

As in the case of processors, a more efficient graphics card is installed in ONE. We are talking about the accelerator Adreno 205, which from the position of computing power will be better than Adreno 200, which is used in HTC DESIRE V. The characteristics of it will be slightly worse. But, again, over the past two years, both of these adapters have become obsolete and are not suitable for solving the most complex problems. A little more screen at DESIRE - its diagonal is 4 inches. Slightly smaller diagonal in ONE - 3.7 inches. But the resolution is identical - 480 to 800. And the number of colors displayed is the same - more than 16 million. Touchscreen is designed for 2 touches at the same time.

Cameras

It should be noted right away that there is no front camera in both the first and second devices. At the time of these gadgets, this attribute could be found only in very expensive devices. Hence the problem, which is that there is no possibility to make full video calls. You can either see the interlocutor, but he will not see you, or vice versa. In both cases, the basis of the cameras is an identical 5 Mp matrix. Also there is an autofocus system and an LED flash. But the video recording is better for HTC ONE V. The characteristics of the camera indicate the support of 720 resolution at 1280, that is full-fledged "AcH", than the second smartphone can not boast (only 480 by 800 pixels can write DESIRE). And here the problem is not with the camera, but with the processor, which in ONE V More productive.

Memory

The impressive organization of the memory subsystem can not boast of HTC DESIRE V. The characteristics in this regard are as follows:

1. 0.5 GB of RAM.
2. 4 GB has a built-in storage.
3. The maximum size of external memory cards in this device can be 32 GB.

Similar characteristics have ONE V. That is, you get a full parity between these smartphones on the memory subsystem.

Accumulator battery

An interesting situation from the standpoint of autonomy develops in these devices. At DESIRE the battery capacity is more - 1650 mA / h vs. 1500 mA / h for ONE V. But the diagonal of the screen is bigger, and the number of slots for SIM cards is 2 against 1. Hence the battery life will be less for the first one . Therefore, from the standpoint of continuous operation from one battery charge it is better to buy a HTC ONE V. The manufacturer's characteristic in this parameter guarantees 3 days of battery life.

System software

One of the first smartphones that were running Android with the serial number 4.0 was HTC ONE V. The characteristics at that time were really good. The same situation is with DESIRE V. It operates on the basis of exactly the same operating system. Even the superstructure over the OS is identical - SENSE 4.0 from HTC. With its help, you can completely change the interface of the gadget for your needs. Whatever one may say, but from the position of system software, the equality between these models is obtained.

Application software

The identical set of applications is installed both on DESIRE V and HTC ONE V. The characteristics of the memory subsystem, previously considered, do not allow installing many applications on them. But still the standard utilities (calculator, SMS messenger and calendar) are installed. Also, developers have not forgotten about the Google programs, which are installed on them in full. There are social international services: "Facebook", "Instagram", "Google +" and "Tweeter". The rest will have to be taken from the Play-Market.

Interface Support

The same set of communications for HTC ONE V and HTC T328W DESIRE V. Specifications In this respect they have the following:

1. The module "Wai Fay" allows you to receive information on the Internet at speeds up to 150 Mb / s. Great for files of any size.
2. Full support for the most common networks. This is "ZhSM", and "3J". In the first case, the maximum data transfer rate is 0.5 Mbit / s (you can browse unpretentious sites and communicate in social networks), and in the second - 15 Mbit / s (in this case there are practically no restrictions on the amount of downloaded information).
3. The module "Bluetooth" allows you to almost instantly transfer files of small volume to similar devices.
4. The navigation module "ZhPS" allows you to easily and easily find the shortest route around the city or terrain.
5. Wired interfaces only 2: "MicroUSB" and 3.5 mm audio port. The first one allows you to charge the battery and, if necessary, connect to a personal computer. The second one makes it possible to output a sound signal to an external speaker system.

Reviews of the owners of these gadgets

Both the first and second model of the smartphone has long been sold, and very successfully. Therefore, you can find reviews about them without problems. They indicate the following pluses for ONE V:

1. Body and design.
2. "Android" with the current version still 4.0. This is one of the first gadgets running such an OS.
3. The "Sens 4.0" add-in allows to optimize the interface of the device.
4. Flawless operation of the navigation system.

Cons: he has such:

1. Unsuccessful antenna location (in the lower bend). Under certain circumstances, a signal may be lost due to this.
2. Unstable operation of the firmware. Often the smartphone reboots for no apparent reason.

Now about DESIRE V. It has the same advantages as ONE V, but it adds the following:

1. Support for 2 SIM cards.

Cons, other than those previously given for ONE V, are as follows:

1. Unsuccessful design of the back cover. The openings in it collect dirt, and getting it from there is quite problematic.
2. Poor build quality of the plastic case.
3. Low speaker volume.

Summary

Within the framework of this short review, 2 smartphones were considered in detail: HTC DESIRE V and HTC ONE V. The characteristics, price and other important information about these two gadgets was included in it. It is more preferable to buy at the moment ONE V. He and the CPU are more productive, and the autonomy is better, and the metal casing is made. The only exception is the situation when you need a smartphone with two SIM cards. In this case, there is no alternative to DESIRE V.
