'At just over £80, locked to Virgin Mobile, the ZTE Blade V is clearly pitched towards the very budget conscious, ideal for those that want a cheap smartphone to take to school.'

'Neat-looking metallic rear. '

'It is big, bright, beautiful, and perfectly suitable for every task. '

'Thin and wide the overall impression is of ultimate portability, a robust handset with a nice if plasticky finish. '

'Image and video quality is very similar to the Samsung Galaxy S3 and Galaxy Note II, which is to say good but not as stunningly detailed as the S4. - Lastly, the phone has physical front buttons rather than capacitive.'

'Phone quality wise, the device is strong, with calls coming through crisp. '

'decent overall spec'

'The HTC Desire is one of the best looking smartphones available right now.'

'It looks and feels like a great little phone, but it’s impossible to view it in isolation and on the current market there are choices which present better value for money at (and in fact below) this price point. '

'The Desire 500 tackles the essentials well, doesn't cost the Earth and has a more interesting design than most budget smart phones. '

'The HTC Desire 601 is a phone that gets close to the sort of specs you’d get in a top-end One-series phone, but at a slightly lower price.'

'The viewing angles of this IPS LCD screen are also quite decent.'

'capable dual-core processor'

'classy look'
