HTC One V Confirmed to Arrive in the US “This Summer” - MobilEgypt

The cheapest HTC One device, the One V has just been confirmed to land in the US sometime this summer. Although the Taiwanese handset maker did not reveal which carriers would offer the smartphone, it did mention HTC One V as being expected to be available “through a variety of U.S. partners.” This means that we should expect the HTC One V to be carried by multiple operators in the country, including MetroPCS, U.S. Cellular and Virgin Mobile. Two months ago an HTC spokesperson revealed that the One V would be released through these three carriers mentioned above, though other operators might offer the device. Furthermore, HTC One V will be showcased for the first time in the States at the International CTIA Wireless 2012, which is set to kick off tomorrow, May 8. No word on the pricing options yet, but this is the cheapest HTC One family device, so we should expect the One V to go on sale for under $300 USD (230 EUR) outright. HTC One V will be shipped with Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich operating system with HTC Sense 4 on board. In addition, the smartphone comes packed with HTC’s ImageSense camera technology. With HTC ImageSense , the smartphone is able to offer users an improved camera experience that delivers fast image capture, along with better image quality under adverse conditions. Hardware-wise, the One V is equipped with a 1 GHz single-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S3 processor and packs 4GB of internal memory, 512MB of RAM and microSD card slot for memory expansion (up to 32GB). Furthermore, HTC One V users will get 25GB of free cloud storage via Dropbox for two years. Beats Audio is also integrated within HTC One V for an authentic sound. Last but not least, the phone is powered by a 1500 mAh Li-Ion battery, which has yet to be rated by the manufacturer.
