hi guys this is bryan bennett at ctia wireless 2012 in New Orleans and right now we're taking a look at the international HTC One V smartphone as you can see it is running Android for dot 0 which is ice cream sandwich a tasty version of the OS which is brand new also on top of ice cream sandwich is HTC's new version of sense version 4 it's supposed to be a little lighter and not as demanding but even so the phone has a decent volcom s3 1 gigahertz single core processor that seems to be handling the operations relatively well as you can see we've got apps right here with the basic apps that come with HTC devices one big feature is that it is part of the new image sense technology which has a dedicated processor to process an image images faster you also have a wide range of scene modes and special effects you've got HDR to handle difficult lighting panorama portrait all that kind of stuff and unfortunately the camera on the One V is a 5 megapixel camera but you do get a LED flash on the back so one of the coolest things about this camera is that it has the burst mode capability which HTC calls continuous shooting mode and you can just hold down the shutter button and take multiple shots here you can see it saving them and you have a whole range of shots you can choose you know depending on what the action in the scene is so that's a really cool feature another interesting thing to notice is that the back has you know the whole back body the phone is made from a unibody aluminum construction you also have Beats Audio on board for music processing and specialized profiles for headphones by beats you also have you know basically this this chin here that rises up reminiscent of the HTC legend and even the old school HTC hero device the screen is a 3.7 inch Super LCD with a qHD resolution so it's not bad it's a good compromise I'm Brian Bennett for cnet.com and we have just taken a first look at the HTC One V this international version which the first time we've actually seen it with this software that's running and operational hopefully we'll be coming to US cellular soon still no word yet but definitely stay tuned for a full review at cnet com
