HTC Desire V Review
Share:
What's really cool about the 5MP camera on the HTC Desire V is that it has the same versatile, easy-to-use interface that is present on any HTC One handset. What's far less exciting, however, is that although the camera is mostly free of shutter lag, it takes well over a second before it is ready to capture the next frame. But most importantly, the photos look quite uninspiring – slightly blueish at times, with poor dynamics range, lack of fine detail, and traces of digital noise here and there. These imperfections are noticeable both when shooting outdoors, under broad daylight, and with the incandescent lighting of an indoor setting. Videos are captured at a maximum resolution of 800 by 480 pixels and look mediocre.

The music player included with HTC Sense 4.0 has all the features you might need, including a few extras like SoundHound integration and access to the 7digital online music store. Of course, a home screen widget comes standard, and you get playback controls on the lock screen.
With the stock video player you can watch videos in MP4 or DivX formats, but only of resolution up to 800 by 480 pixels. None of our 720p video samples could be played back, so don't even bother trying. The smartphone's 4-inch display is big enough for watching videos comfortably.

the phone is nice... very nice.. just like usual HTCs. But there is one thing that spoil it- its the camera. the orange ring around the camera seemed out of place, and it just... feels.. weird :)

Leave that, why do they put such bad cameras on their phones?! Even on the One X :P

The One X is actually pretty good. Of course, it does lose out to the Xperia S and definitely is a long shot away from the Xperia TX/GX, but I don't think that anyone was expecting miracles.

The One X camera is actually nice in the One X body..
while the camera in the Desire V gives me the ''what the hell are you doing there?'' feeling.

Internal memory is said as 4GB to customers but OS itself takes 3GB and only 93MB is available for the users.
Display issue - Red line appears at all sides of screen while opening any message or menu in settings.
below touch screen , the exit menu and main menu keys often dont work. need to press long time or keepon tapping it.
Hangs often.
Options not very user friendly as Samsung or Nokia.
I purchased this before just 1 month and this is all my own exp..
