The first dual-SIM Android smartphone from Taiwanese manufacturer HTC did not take long to reach India. HTC Desire V that was first announced two weeks ago, is now available for purchase on online retail store Flipkart for Rs. 21, 990.

The device is powered by Android 4.0, 1GHz Qualcomm processor and boasts a 4-inch WVGA display. It also offers dual-SIM with dual standby. However, the smartphone restricts the use of 3G to only one SIM card and the second SIM only offers GPRS support. The phone is also loaded with Beats Audio support and Sense 4.0.

Though, there is no dearth of dual-SIM Android phones in sub-Rs. 10,000 price bracket, it is definitely the sole high-end Android dual-SIM smartphone in India. While, it might seem a bit overpriced with respect to the hardware, the fact that it is the only dual-SIM Android device in this range, might be a strong factor for driving its sales.
