HTC Desire V dual SIM an Android Smartphone released in India for Rs.21.990.00. The phone is equipped with ICS. This phone comes in some models which run on Android. Samsung has ruled both mid range and high range Android phone market. Now we need to wait and watch what HTC offers. HTC Desire V is a dual sim phone. This is nothing new, but one that that phone gives you is more interface and higher app compatibility. After comparison both the operating system you will like ICS more. ICS is bit resource intensive. It has many bug fixes and runs higher applications. It does not look that Desire V is having something new.

It has 1GHz CPU with beast audio support. Because of Android Smartphone market keeps on flourishing. The need of smart operating system is full-filled. Now what more companies need to do is provide featured phone. As we know that the demands of user keep on rising on the basis of gaming, app usage, internet surfing, etc. Some of the mid range phone does not meet the requirement. The price ratio of 21,000 to 25,000 implies that the phone is rich in feature and output.

One more important factor that buyers see is re-sale value. What if in future you want to change you phone by selling the old one. The older phone will only be valued properly if it belongs to a reputed brand like Nokia. Nokia does not lie in the league of Android Smartphone’s. They are planning to do something different. But I hope soon Nokia might give high feature phone at low range cost. Compared to other HTC do provide some of the best phones in market. Why I prefer to go for HTC is valued product.

You do not need to worry about the performance and output. The touch quality is superb. 1 GHz process according to me is good for ICS. It allows you to play heaver games, and run more resource intensive apps. If you are planning to get an ICS phone below 800 MHz then simply quit your decision. There is no chance to upgrade CPU on phone. It is important that your phone must provide you a good battery life, easy performance, and compatibility with other devices.

The design looks very attractive. 4" screen on the front side with glossy white body on the back and red circled camera distinguished separately. Compared to other phone HTC is rich in design. Good grip and look makes the phone richer. Dual Sim lies on stand mode and offer you dual calling support. So in short you’re both Sims stays active on the backside. Along with this for a good multimedia features offer you some new technology by HTC called as Beast Sound. This allows you a rich sound quality. As per HTC this feature will give you clear and rich sound on headphones. HTC has promoted Beast Audio as a primary feature. This provides you a high and clear sound output. The technology tries to keep the sound quality as it without changing the output which mostly happens in other phone. I am here not talking about the speakers, but on headphones. There are rare phones which gives you rich sound quality.

For example phones with Yamaha amplifier are far much better than regular one. Beast Audio safeguards the exact quality of sound. It helps you to give you appropriate sound even when there is lots of disturbance around you. There is a separate profile called as Beast Audio in the phone. The profile stays also active on wifi. HTC wants it is users to have rich multimedia experience also. As mostly we use our phone for that purpose. Along with sound quality, a better song management features is added. It keeps a track of recent albums, your favorite playlist on your phone home screen. Other features are common like search by album, genre, artist, etc. Along with this as a free add-on you get online radio app. This allows you to access worldwide radio for free.
