Design and Build
The HTC Desire V features a compact and ergonomic design typical of early 2010s smartphones. Its dimensions, measuring at 118.5 x 62.3 x 9.3 mm, make it easy to hold and operate with one hand, something that larger modern phones sometimes lack. Weighing just 114 grams, the device feels lightweight but not flimsy. The build quality is decent, with a plastic back and a smooth finish available in black or white colors, providing a basic yet elegant appearance. A standout feature during its release was the dual SIM functionality, allowing users to switch between two networks effortlessly—an appealing feature for frequent travelers or those managing different contact numbers.
