The HTC One V has crashed the budget party in premium fancy dress; its sturdy aluminium build gives it a reassuring feel in the hand, while its 3.7in, 800x480 display offers detailed, vibrant colours. Throw in camera tricks from its big brother the One X and HTC's Sense 4.0 skin and you have a handset as confident as its cocky 'chin' suggests.

Despite 'only' having a 1 GHz single-core Snapdragon S2 chip, the One V doesn't lag far behind its multi-core brethren in terms of performance. Browsing over 3G can trip it up and you'll notice the occasional hiccup in use, but for the money this is still a powerful phone.
