Even though the HTC One SV price and release details for the UK haven’t been officially revealed by the Taiwanese manufacturer, it is up for pre-order via Clove. With an introduction as such, buyers will be endowed with yet another smartphone from the tech giant’s One series.
Unlike the Jelly Bean-driven Butterfly, which happens to be the Droid DNA’s global version, this phone settles for a scoop of Ice Cream Sandwich that’s layered with HTC Sense 4. A 4.3-inch touchscreen display takes shelter under the protection of Corning Gorilla Glass 2. The super LCD 2 screen puts forth pictures in a 480 x 800 pixel resolution.
Apparently, there is more to the One SV than what meets the eye. A 1.2GHz dual core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 processor when clubbed with 1GB of RAM, delivers the speed required for multitasking. Besides the system memory, 8GB of onboard storage is provided to hoard content. Over and above this, the 122 gram handset carries a microSD card slot to allow expansion of up to 32GB.
From professional photographers to enthusiasts, all can take advantage of the rear-facing 5MP camera that is plunked with features like auto focus, a BSI sensor and an LED flash. A 1.6MP webcam sneaks onto the front permitting users to not only make video calls, but also record 720p videos.
Of course, the 4G LTE device includes connectivity features. For starters, there is NFC along with Bluetooth 4.0 to let users transfer content wirelessly, Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n for accessing the Internet as well as GPS for turn-by-turn navigation. A 1,800mAh Li-ion battery powers the handset and keeps all components running.
A post on the official Clove blog mentions that the HTC One SV is up for pre-order in the UK at a price of £349.99, inclusive of all taxes. It is said to ship in the early weeks of January and can be picked up in hues of blue and white.
