Off late, HTC has been quite aggressive in getting its One and Desire
line-up in India. The latest smartphone to join the league is HTC Desire
VC. This is the first dual-SIM smartphone from HTC that runs on Android
4.0 and supports both GSM and CDMA functionality. In terms of specs,
this device is very similar to the HTC One V but whether or not it
performs at par or better than the One V is something we shall find out
in our review.
Hardware/ Looks
The HTC Desire VC is a
good-looking smartphone. At 9.5mm, it is pretty slim and sleek and
lighter too weighing just 119 grams. The outer body seems to be made of
plastic, however it does not look cheap and feels rather sturdy. There
is a rubberised texture on the back panel, which allows for a
comfortable grip.
