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.
