HTC Desire V - specifications. Android-smartphone review with support for two SIM cards HTC Desire V HTC Desire V

Several years ago it seemed that "two-channel" if the mobile phone market will not change dramatically, then at least they will affect it more significant than it turned out in the end. As a result, the niche is filled mainly by either completely budget decisions (by the way, why did not the manufacturers seriously believe that the main reason for the purchase of a two-person is not convenience, but saving money on the second phone?) Or Chinese crafts. Only several well-known manufacturers produce smart smartphones that support two SIM cards. However, judging by the fact that this company just recently joined such a company as HTC, to put the cross before early.

Specifications

As we mentioned in the microvale HTC Desire V, the smartphone filling corresponds to a good medium-budget solution, although in terms of value it goes beyond the framework of this price category. What to do, surcharge for two-time. And a bit for the brand.

Appearance and Ergonomics

Of course, it is not necessary to take into account the budget value, but unlike most two-minute smartphones, HTC Desire V looks just fine. Covered with black Soft Touch plastic, it is optimal in width and height, besides, quite thin: 9 millimeters allow it to overtake it with a reference for the modern generation iPhone 4 / 4S. Around the screen is unobistant at first glance, but clearly adding the strength of the frame, metal edging.

Externally, the device is a true child of his parents. If you cover the logo, any persistent on Smartphones Gick devotee Reader GG.a little bit of smartphones interested in smartphones will find out in it HTC. Most of all, he resembles Desire S, although the newcomer is thinner and weighs not 130, and for as many as 15 grams less (and 25 grams less iPhone 4S, with which I sincerely congratulate the militant apple haters!).

The device is perfectly placed in a standard pocket of a male summer shirt, well lies well in the man's hand of any sex with an adequate hand size, it has enough big screen. So the dimensions should be recognized by optimal, ergonomically thoughtful. Appearance and tactile sensations give the impression of a quality and expensive device. The cover, as in many HTC devices, resembles a boat and with removal (to remove it, you need to hook a special protrusion of a novel) bargaining the battery, the camera whose peephole is attached on the corrugated plastic and the phone with several buttons. The assembly is generally good, although when you press the case, it creates slightly.

Ports and buttons

On the right edge there is a loudness adjustment swing, on the left - the micro-USB connector. The top face serves as a pier for the power button (it is unexpectedly located in the center) and a 3.5-millimeter headphone jack.

Under the screen - three traditional android buttons In no less traditional, in the spirit of time, sensory execution.

The musical speaker and the lens of the five-megapixel camera are in the rear, but frontal chamber It was not found above the screen. But here there is a voice speaker, sensors of approximation and illumination, as well as an indicator that signals a low battery charge color and new events (SMS or missed calls).

SIM slots and micro SD connector are hidden under the lid. The cards are removed and inserted easily, the battery remains in place.

Screen

A thin frame of the HTC Desire V - four-dimensional screen, with a resolution of 480x800 points, which is more than the overwhelming majority of two-channel. He quickly responds to touch and recognizes up to four fingers at the same time. For most smart problems, you do not need more. The contrast from the display is good, the color is bright, close to natural, but slightly more saturated, slightly "eastern". Under the right rays of the sun, the screen fades, but something can be considered something at the maximum brightness. Automatic brightness adjustment works, as it seemed correctly.

Two-mercy

So, in the device two SIM cards, but only one radio module. Is it scary? In principle, not too, if you are certainly not accustomed to chat for hours. In this case, the truth may be problems, because when talking from one card, those who try to reach you on the second will hear that you are out of the network. On the other hand, one radio module is much more economical in terms of battery consumption, which is very important for insatiable android smartphones. One of the typical models of using a two-minute smartphone is the Internet card plus card for calls. So, in this case, it should be borne in mind that only one slot (SIM1) supports 3G. The setup menu, named "Network Manager", allows you to select the default network and set a name of 4 letters for each of the cards. And even on SIM cards you can put different melodies to immediately hear which numbers come from. In the number dialing window, there are SIM-card selection buttons, opposite each call in the list, the name of the slot is indicated on which (or from which) was performed. I personally liked how work with two cards is organized: everything is intuitive and convenient, it is not necessary to make extra televitations.

System and productivity

In the smartphone installed fresh android version 4.0.3 and with HTC SENSE brand shell 4. More information about this tandem can be read in the HTC One V review. Smoothness in the work of the interface characteristic of senior models, there is no, sometimes twitching. In this serious problem I do not see; Perhaps rare twitching with interest are compensated by a comfortable intuitive shell in combination with good screen. The performance of the smartphone is enough for most tasks, including the user can play some popular toys, for example, the same angry birds. But miracles does not happen: Qaulcomm MSM 7227A with a frequency of 1 GHz and Adreno 200 graphics will not allow modern games on the smartphone with complex graphics. More precisely, run something is not a problem, but you can get pleasure from such games you can hardly succeed.

Smartphone, measured in all sorts of "parrots", can be contemplated in screenshots. The stars from the heavens of HTC Desire V lacks, but most users of such performance are enough for the eyes. Mobile Internet With MTS card, it worked well when the smartphone entered the Wi-Fi zone, he immediately passed the brazers of the board of this type of communication. Everything worked without any problems.

Sound

Near the sound speaker on the back of HTC Desire V red-white letters, two words are clearly derived: Beats Audio. These two words mean that the sound system of the same name is used inside the smartphone, or rather, a set of sound improvers. Just work these improvements for headphones, not for the dynamics.

Integrated Sense 4.0

With AKG IP2 headphones connected to the device without the use of Beats effects Audio Sound It turned out to be quite clear, although he was clearly lacked. With the use of filters, the sound changed, a strange unnatural volume, extra bass, in a word, all signs of "Bitovsky" sound appeared. As usual, these effects are very decorated with energetic electronic music and hip-hop. Other genres B. good headphones You can listen, but better without the use of Beats Audio. In general, the mid-level player will replace, although not everyone. But it seemed to me that the sound in the senior models of this year, recently visited us on testing, was more expressive.

Autonomy

Lithium-ion battery with a capacity of 1650 ma-h allows the smartphone to work for about one day with active use. Under active, I understand the time of conversations on both SIM cards, 2 hours of playing music, 40 minutes of games, periodic sending SMS and email, Skype (text), Facebook, viewing sites (hour) and shooting photos and videos. In a more gentle mode (typical of the average user of smartphones: the same, but less than two times) Desire V handed to 1.5 days. In economical mode, respectively, it is enough for a couple of days (but this is if it is strongly limited). That is, autonomy is quite typical, that, taking into account the large screen, it is quite good.

Camera

Examples of snapshots made by HTC Desire V. Day shot was sunny, without fog and precipitation.

You can see photos in the original resolution in the gallery on the "Torba". Although the smartphone got a 5 megapixel sensor with a flash, photoshighs will be extremely difficult for them, the optics here is quite weak. Camera settings allow you to change the ISO value, white balance, exposure, contrast, sharpness, and saturation of the pictures. Videos in the resolution of 800x480 points are also not better quality. However, the camera is capable of quickly capturing something accidentally seen. And more from the telephone chamber and is not required, in fact.

Example video

In the dry residue

Those who need a decent looking, well assembled modern smartphoneBut at the same time there is a need for the simultaneous use of two SIM cards, Desire V is perfect. Of course, only if they are ready to pay for this pleasure in combination with not the strongest (and frankly, rather than the average) the iron is equivalent to four hundred American money. He has bright and quality screenFrom the point of view of ergonomics, the smartphone is good. In addition, it looks expensive, which may be for someone an important factor. Only here modern toys he will not pull without extra tuning. HTC Desire v competitors are a bit at least among the "vintage" (then you mean, with not Chinese names) of smartphones. SAMSUNG GALAXY Y DUOS is remembered, but it is still much easier in all respects.

The new line of smartphones from the company HTC under the general name One, on the one hand, the intriguing looked during his announcement and inspired optimism about the future company, on the other - in reality, it was not so good in reality, as I would like the company and even her fans, I, eg. From the mid-2011, the company's shares in the markets fell in the price of almost ten times: if in May 2011 the stock price was ~ 2,500 Taiwanese dollars (83 US dollars), then in July 2012 - only 280 Taiwanese dollars ($ 9).

It is obvious that in the current situation of the company, you need to change something, revise your views on the model range and its size, to express other priorities on smartphones in different price categories. And in HTC really try to do something, perhaps the Desire V smartphone - just such a pen test in a new segment, because this is not only the first Dual-SIM device of the company, but also one few smartphones with support for two SIM cards in the middle-sized segment Class, and not budget, where all the Dualsima are represented now.

Design, case materials

Design HTC Desire V recognizE, the smartphone can immediately be calculated model row HTC due to a slight curved bottom area of \u200b\u200bthe case, due to smooth bends and some other parts that are found in models from HTC. I liked the device outdoor: it looks strictly and in business, but at the same time is not boring, I can not call his design with gray either.

In Russia, only the black model is now available on sale, in the future, it may also appear the white apparatus. The black smartphone is made of plastic with a soft-touch coating, it is convenient to hold it in hand, it does not slip and pleasant to the touch. The frame around the display is made of metal painted in black, and the chamber's eyes are concluded in the rim with a small platform from corrugated plastic. The housing is relatively non-primary, although traces and scuffs on the surface still remain and under some angles, especially if you look, noticeable.

Build quality

I do not know if I was lucky with a specific instance, which is completely final and in the box, or this feature of the design of the smartphone. In my sample HTC Desire V, the battery cover that occupies the entire back area of \u200b\u200bthe smartphone, in some places it has not sufficiently felt enough to the body. On the eye, this distance is less than a millimeter between the lid and the housing, but if you press it on it, hurts were heard. I can not say that this is a serious drawback, but, firstly, in my copy, it manifested itself literally after the first removal of the lid, and, secondly, it is not known what will happen to the design in six months - a year of using the device if the lid is already in the new The smartphone has such a "feature."

There are no other complaints about the quality of assembly and construction of the hull.

Gabarits.

In size, the smartphone reminds other HTC models of the middle class, it is conveniently lies in hand during conversation and working with the device, not heavy, it is placed in almost any pocket of clothing.

HTC Desire V. - 118.5 x 62.3 x 9.3 mm, 114 g
HTC Desire C. - 107.2 x 60.6 x 12.3 mm, 100 g
HTC Wildfire S. - 101 x 59 x 12 mm, 108 g
Apple iPhone. 4S. - 115.2 x 58.6 x 9.3 mm, 140 g

Control elements

The smartphone is working on Android 4.0, the control in it is processed in accordance with the requirements that are presented by the Quartet. As in other HTC devices on the basis of this version of the OS, there are three keys under the screen instead of four (as it was before): "Back", "House" and the "Recent Apps" call key.

The touch keys are separated by each other, their markup is simple and understandable, there is a white key backlight, which turns on if you work with a smartphone in the dark.

Each time you press the button, the device barely vibrates, in the HTC smartphones last year, the vibration was stronger, here it became weaker, not the most pleasant tendency. In some Android 4.0 programs, the software button is used to call the menu, there are no it in the other, in which case the menu call you can simply hold the "Recent Apps" button for a couple of seconds.

On the right edge of the smartphone there is a key to adjust the volume, moderately convenient, it is easy to press blindly. On the left edge - the microUSB connector, and the power key in the center and 3.5 mm mini jack for headphones. When holding the power key, the menu appears with the possibility of shutting down the smartphone, transfer it to the "airplane" mode and reboot.

On the front side, at the top, there is a conversational speaker, near it - the light sensor and the sensor of the approximation, and on the right - the light indicator that burns red when charging and connecting to the PC, flashes red with a low charge level, and blinks green if New events (mail, sms, missed calls). On the back of the top - the eyes of the 5-megapixel chamber, and at the bottom - a neatly decorated ticking dynamics and the Beats Audio logo.

The slot under the memory card and the connectors under the SIM card are located under the lid of the battery. To the left of the site with the camera module (below it) is a slot for the main SIM card, on the right - you can see it signed - slot for an additional SIM card, and above - a microSD memory card connector.

Screen

The HTC Desire V is installed SUPER-LCD touch-type capacitive screen with a diagonal 4 "and a resolution of 800x480 points (WVGA). According to the characteristics of the one-in-one screen as in HTC Incredible S, for example, the maximum viewing angles, natural color rendition (in my opinion). The display displays up to 16 million colors and supports up to four simultaneous presses. Protective display of the display - Gorilla Glass glass, it does not scratch if you take scissors, for example, and with a slight force to spend on the surface of the display, but in the course of operation, small scratches and scratching begin to appear on it. Working with the screen using the finger is convenient, sliding on the surface is excellent.

In the sun, the screen remains more or less readable, blind only under the right sunny rays. In general, the screen for the middle class smartphone in HTC Desire V surprisingly high-quality and good, of course, this is the past generation of displays, which was used in the flagships two years ago, but on the quality of the picture as a whole, the screen is pleasant.

Camera

The smartphone has a 5 megapixel camera with autofocus and flash. The interface here is exactly the same as in smartphones HTC One. X and ONE S, so the screenshots of the camera for One S. will be shown below.

Maximum resolution Snapshot - 2592x1552 (in widescreen shooting mode), if you wish, you can choose the resolution with the aspect ratio of 4: 3. There are white balance settings, ISO values, as well as exposure, contrast, sharpness and saturation of photography. For photo there are effects.

Maximum video resolution - 800x480 points, for video you can also select the effects, specify the white balance and adjust the exposure, contrast, saturation, and sharpness. In the process of video recording, you can scale the picture and manually change the focus point, there is no tracking autofocus, it is impossible to do in the video video processing process.

Quality Photo and video You can rate according to the examples below, in my opinion, the camera in HTC Desire V is not bad, but not more.

Autonomous work

The device has a removable Li-ion battery with a capacity of 1650 mAh. My smartphone worked an average of one day, under the following operating conditions: 2-3 hours of music per day, 10-20 text messages, a configured Gmail account in Push-mail mode, as well as 10-20 snapshots camera and from time to time Facebook and twitter. Talking about an hour, in the smartphone two SIM cards, both active.

However, I managed to discharge HTC Desire V for half a day without much effort, for this, it is enough to listen to 4-5 hours to music on it, and all the time to sit on the Internet, to post all sorts of nastyness in Instagram and Twitter and still respond to letters. In a word, if half of the time from these "half days" tele the smartphone, without ceasing, then removed from charging at 9 am the device is discharged to a level of 10% to 16-17 hours.

But in general, for a Dual-SIM smartphone, even one whole day of work in more or less active use, in my opinion, is a good indicator, especially if you consider that this is a device with a good large screen and a beautiful interface. True, not fast ...

Performance

The smartphone is built on the Qualcomm MSM7227A platform and has a frequency of 1 GHz processor. In the device 512 MB random access memory and 4 GB of memory for storing user data, besides this, there is a slot for a microSD card.

Before proceeding to the description of the speed of the smartphone, I suggest you look at the results of several benchmarks:

Basemark ES 2.0 Taiji

If short, then the smartphone is not very fast. When performing the most ordinary tasks, such as opening a menu, start mail or opening contacts, the device sometimes slows down or lifestically thinks. In general, it is often about a second delay between pressing and response to this press. If many programs are running, the picture becomes a completely deplorable and smartphone you have to restart so that it will work fine, when removing applications from memory using Task Manager, the situation does not change.

From all sides of the apparatus, it is his low speed of work personally disappointed me most. I am ready to put up with non-trust performance of work time, almost like flagships, with weak vibration-poster keys, with high priceIn the end, because if you need a handsome Dual-SIM smartphone, there is no choice. But buying the device, you expect the opportunity to comfortably use all its functions, and when the smartphone heats up and works simply leisurely, in general, the impressions are spoiled.

I also want to note that if you go to HTC Desire V with some completely budget DUAL-SIM devices, let them also have been on Android, most likely not notice slowness, but if you used the flagship, let the previous and previous generations, or some iPhone or Windows Phone - Interface brackets for you will be apparent.

Interfaces

The smartphone works in GSM networks (850/900/1800/1900) and UMTS (900/2100). Both high-speed data transmission standards are supported - EDGE and HSDPA. The inclusion and shutdown of different communication modules can be performed in the settings menu, through one of the system panel tabs caused from above or using widgets. There is a widget with a strip of icons to switch interfaces, there are separate button widgets, as well as the standard Android widget.

The HSDPA data transfer standard only supports the main SIM card installed in the first slot, with the second to enter the Internet, you can maximize EDGE.

For synchronization with PC and data transfer, a complete MicroUSB cable is used. USB interface 2.0. When you connect to a computer, a menu appears in which you can select one of five types of connection: only charging, drive (memory is visible maps of MicroSd.), HTC Sync, Internet modem (using the machine as a modem) and connecting to a PC to access the network via the computer.

Built-in module Bluetooth 3.0 (A2DP, EDR). Most common profiles are supported.

Wi-Fi (802.11b / g / n). The work of the Wi-Fi module did not cause complaints. In the smartphone, you can configure the Wi-Fi transition rules for sleep mode, using a static IP address when connected and add security certificates. Also in HTC Desire V there is a setting " Maximum performance Wi-Fi. For wi-Fi work The device practically does not heat up.

Wi-Fi Router . In the smartphone implemented the "Sharing" function 2G / 3G Internet connection via Wi-Fi. It works as follows. In settings wireless interfaces The option "Wi-Fi router" is included and the settings are opened, where the user is invited to select the network name, password, as well as the connection type (WEP, WPA, WPA2). In addition, you can install maximum amount Connections to the smartphone or separately prohibit or allow each new connection.

Work with two SIM cards

Than I immediately liked the device, it is a beautiful and elegant implementation of working with two SIM cards. I can not say that I have a great experience with such smartphones, but from what I used (I mean Dual-SIM devices) Supports two SIM cards at the user interface level in HTC Desire V is most cool and convenient.

In the settings, you can set the basic and additional SIM cards, for each of them there is an arbitrary name, a maximum of four characters. A little, of course, but in different menus these names will be guaranteed to display completely, without abbreviations.

In the history of calls, each is marked by the SIM card number, which is also convenient. In the messages you see, on which SMS came to each SMS separately. In the Sending Text Message window, instead of one button "Send" - two, with the names of SIM-cards, respectively, a message is sent, as usual, by touching one button to choose from.

In the call settings, you can set the call melodies for each of the SIM cards or set the overall melody for both SIMs, but choose individual sounds to each SIM card for notifications it is impossible.

The main minus of the device as a phone with the support of two SIM cards is one radio module. This means that when you start a call on one of the "SIM" or take a call, the second automatically turns off at this time and no one can reach it. From a smartphone for such money, two full-fledged radio modulus could be expected ...

Navigation

The smartphone uses the GPSone chip on the Qualcomm platform. The search for satellites takes 10-15 seconds. To navigate the device, there are basic applications from Google - Google Maps and Google Navigation, as well as the HTC Locations program based on ROUTE66. For google help Maps You can lay the routes, search for addresses by street names or places. From Google Navigation you can enjoy navigating on the route and voice prompts.

The launch of the HTC Navigation application occurs using the Locations program. This is a full-fledged navigation software with the support of interest points (POI), the route log and the possibility of laying routes. The apparatus provides a review map of Russia and a demonstration 30-day map of Russian cities. For the program you can buy any of the available cards, the purchase is performed directly through the program interface, using bank card (Visa, Master Card, American Express, Diners Club). You can also buy cards on the Internet on the developer's website, and in the device then just enter special code Voucher and download already purchased card. It's nice that you can choose one of several license options when buying, for 30 days, for a year or indefinite. Price procedures You can appreciate yourself on the example of the cost of cards of Russia (5.99 USD for 30 days, 24.98 USD per year, 37.99 permanent license).

Software

The smartphone is running android 4.0.3, HTC Sense 4.0 is used as an interface. Externally, the interface looks like in the senior apparatus, however, it is functionally cut off. So, there are no most widgets (why, for example, HTC decided to delete almost all widgets of the clock from this assembly?) You can not call the matrix of all desktops to quickly transition to each of them, Weather applications without branded animation .

There are more annoying limitations that are introduced artificially with an unclear goal. For example, in senior models with Sense, a user can go to music from the lock window, simply dragging the window with the album cover to the blocking ring or, on the contrary, the blocking ring to the windows with music.

In Sense at HTC Desire V can not be done. At first I thought it was connected with a complex animation, the desire of the developer to reduce the load on the interface or something like that. However, in the same Desire V, you can go to the missed call or unread post by dragging the notification center the lock screen to the ring. Animation and in general the mechanics of the operation of these three operations - a quick transition from the blocking window to messages, to calls and music is the same.

But I will not be about sad. The interface itself, as usual, is beautiful and pleasant in the work, except for the brackets. The "Recent Apps" button calls mini-pictures with fragments of screens recent applicationsBut not their screenshots, that is, the switching system here reminds the one that was in the tablet version of the version of Android 3.0.

Set of standard programs for HTC, there is an application for reading news, Adobe Reader., Facebook, Trial version of the Polaris Office program as well free version Soundhound. And a little more about the sound.

Sound

The smartphone has a signboard Beats Audio, and complete with it are beautiful, but simple headphones with a flat cable.

I compared with HTC One X, which was at hand. The sound quality was checked with Chinese ES900i Chinese headphones purchased for 150-200 rubles in Hong Kong and ensuring surprisingly good sound (according to knowledgeable people).

With a disconnected effect of Beats Audio in HTC Desire V sound clean, but flat and inexpressive, whereas on HTC One x also with disabled "enhaders" I liked the sound much more, the sound volumetric and deep. If you enable Beats Audio, then the sound becomes just a little different, I can not say what is better. As a result, I want to say that - despite the presence of the BEATS AUDIO logo on the smartphone body, it sounds not as cool as HTC One X.

Conclusion

The device is well catches the network, but in two weeks of use I had several similar situations where one SIM card was lost on an empty spot the network where the second showed all divisions, and this when using one operator and SIM cards of about one year. The quality of speech transmission in the smartphone is not bad, the volume of the spoken speaker is slightly above the average, but there is no stock. The call speaker is loud, I almost always used the HTC Desire V, putting a volume of 60-70 percent, it was enough for me. Vibrating alert medium strength.

The smartphone has already enrolled on sale, its value in large retail chains is 15,990 rubles, gray devices are not yet sold, because sales of new items have just begun. On the one hand, the HTC Desire V appears a month before, it would be safe to say that he has no qualitative alternative. Most other models with the support of two SIM cards on Android are easier or screen (less diagonal, permission), or design and quality of manufacture, or even everyone at once. Of course, such devices are two times less.

However, recently on the Russian market began selling another Android smartphone with support for two SIM cards - ZTE V880E Dual. The device is easier and more infryable than HTC Desire V according to design, and the materials used in it are not such interesting (ordinary factory plastic). However, in the device, too, 4 "screen with a resolution of 800x480 points, let and significantly lower in quality (color reproduction, viewing angles) than in the smartphone about HTC. It has no HTC Sense and installed Android 2.3, these are also minuses. The rest of the model is similar: 1 GHz processor, 512 MB of RAM and the presence of a slot under MicroSD, a 5-megapixel camera and there, and there. The difference in price is that the main thing. Smartphone ZTE V880E DUAL costs 8,000 rubles, that is, exactly two times less than HTC Desire V with similar basic characteristics.

Of course, if you need a really beautiful, high-quality software, an expensive outdoor smartphone on Android with support for two SIM cards, then HTC Desire V is out of competition, but you need to remember that the overpayment for the external (design) and internal (software) beauty device It will be very serious, almost twice as compared with technically similar solutions from other manufacturers.

HTC Desire V Smartphone Review: Sit down, two

In Taiwan is considered normal if a person carries two mobile phone: According to one, there are service conversations, the other is highlighted exclusively for relatives and families. Of course, there are on sale and "two-minute" devices, as well as three-, four- and even five-one - with them you can afford to make individual rooms for the chief, friends, wives, mistresses, and one more specially for spammer SMS.

It is not difficult to choose a smartphone for almost any needs: you can find pretty productive solutions for small money, beyond productive for big money, good camera phones, tractor smartphones and much more. The perfect solution will not find, in fact, three categories of people: who needs everything in one device, who needs a huge autonomy (there is no such decisions, there is simply no) and who needs not cut into everything in a two-minute smartphone. But the latter today got a pretty good model!

HTC Desire V is the first two-minute smartphone htc.But far from the first on the market. However, all that the buyer could afford it was no better. Recently, Sony announced the Tipo Dual model, but even it has not the best iron and too simple screen. And 100% of other cases, if I'm not mistaken, Android 4.0 ICS is not close. So desire v can be safely considered the first normal smartphone with two slots for SIM cards. After all, there are exactly people who had or infringe upon themselves in performance and functionality, or carry two phones with them, because of the lack of a normal Dual SIM.

Appearance

To begin with, Desire V is only in the 2sim-version, this is a detached model in the Desire line, which has its own characteristics, including a unique design.

Taking a smartphone in hand for the first time, I was sure that it was in a slightly modified hull and with two SIM card slots, but it turned out not so. The design is changed quite strongly, the smartphone did not cease to be attractive. The body is plastic, Soft Touch, the assembly is good, but not perfect, with squeezing there are minor hoarseness. The case design is similar to that in HTC Sensation or Gratia - all insides with the display are placed in the back cover, which is already not rear. This is practical - if the case is scratched - just change the lid of the battery compartment.

Smartphone is quite thin - 9.3 mm. Let it be not a record at all, but it looks like a smartphone with such a thickness perfectly, and it is comfortable in hand.

Generally, appearance I liked it, the impressions of the Desire V folded positive from the first minutes of dating and dating in their hands. I love the feeling when the thing likes. From the disadvantages, I will note the very software of the touch - here it is very dirty, especially in the summer, when the fingers leave the fingerprints with a special zeal.

Location of elements

Like the screen of the novelties. Again, I compare it not with all other smartphones, but with those from which I would be happy to refuse, if I need two SIM cards in one device. DESIRE V set 4 "LCD display with a resolution of 800x480 points. All other 480x320 and it seems to me the most important "Win" Desire V. The same screen is installed in and all satisfied. The minimum brightness is comfortable for work in complete darkness, unlike samoled, but the maximum is clearly not enough for direct sunlight - the picture is significantly faded. Very pleased with the absence of an air layer under the glass, the picture lies right on the surface, as in the smartphones of the new HTC One line.

There is no front camera, only the speaker is visible above the display, the company's logo and two sensors: approximation and illumination. Under the display only three touch control keys that immediately make it clear which Android version is installed directly from the box.

On the right is the volume control keys, on the left - the connector for connecting the microUSB cable. The latter seemed to me not most comfortable. Firstly, the fact that it is not from below - is no longer convenient, but I rarely managed to stick to him the cord from the first time. Probably a matter of habit.

From above, we see another not the most common solution - the key to turn on and lock the device in the center. In addition, it does not particularly feel good, again, it is necessary to get used to it. Lefter from it is a standard entrance for the headset.

Rear, under a large decorative lining, located 5 megapixel camera with flash. It seems that, such a designer solution looks cool, but the camera itself does not deserve many praise. Photos are obtained very medium quality according to today's standards, good photo It fails to get even with perfect daylight. Video and worse, no even permission is 720p. Maximum video shooting resolution - 800x480 points.

Immediately see the BEATS AUDIO logo and speaker.

Under the back cover is all the most interesting. There are just two slots for SIM cards: the first under the decorative lining of the camera, the second to the right of it. Above these slots see the place for the card microSd memory, and below the battery, with a capacity of 1650 mAh.

Contrary to my expectations, in Desire V not two, but one radio module. It is a bit strange, even in a more accessible LG Optimus Link two radio modulus and for some it will become a decisive factor when choosing. The fact is that with one radio module, during a call from one SIM card, the second becomes inaccessible. On the other hand, during the waiting, you will be able to call any card, also you can call anyone. So minus it is very small, and given a much greater energy consumption of two radio models, a lot of solution in Desire V will seem optimal.

HTC Sense added functionality to work with two cards. The settings have a "Network Manager" item in which you can give the name of each SIM card (up to four characters) and select the preferred network. During the call, as well as the SMS set, you can choose one touch, from which number to perform an action.

It matters which card to insert in which slot. So, only the first slot supports high-speed data transmission 3G, even EDGE will be able to work only with the card in the first slot. The second is intended for a maximum for GPRS connection and GSM communication.

Specifications

The Qualcomm MSM7227A processor is installed in the smartphone. For the first time, we ran into, but here the frequency is dispersed to 1 GHz. Then we thought, which means "a" in the processor marking and, it turned out, one letter distinguishes ARM V6 (normal MSM7227) from ARM V7. Yes, there may be Flash, and the game three-dimensional can be launched, but, in real life, the performance of the processor is quite small and expect both serious results in tests and adequate work of heavy games is not worth it. Even the HTC Sense interface does not work superplays.

In a pair, the Adreno 200 graphics accelerator, 512 MB, built-in 4 GB, is working with the processor.

This is another strong side of the device, in Desire V installed Android 4.0.3, on top of which is not less than fresh Sense 4.0. Here are present as charms standard Android 4, such as creating a folder, dragging icons on the icon, multitasking, etc., and the convenience of Sense, for example fast access To four IM screen applications, an improved camera, etc. Unfortunately, there is no serial shooting, as in the One lineup, there is no photographs during shooting video too. Face Unlock. No, since there is no front camera.

The interface works smoothly, but as I said above, the processor power is not enough to provide the same smoothness when performing the second, not even the most resource-intensive task.
