HTC's slim, stylish, yet affordable One VX (pictures)

With its smoothly rounded curves, silver trim, and white backing, the One VX is unmistakably an HTC handset.

At just 0.36 of an inch thick, the HTC One VX sports a very svelte profile for a budget phone.

The bottom edge of the HTC One VX holds a lone Micro-USB port.

On the top edge of the HTC One VX sits a long, easy-to-reach power key. Also here is a standard 3.5mm headphone jack.

The HTC One VX's back is crafted from clean white plastic with silver trim. Placed here is the phone's 5-megapixel camera.

The HTC One VX offers Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, modern to be sure, but not the most recent flavor -- Android Jelly Bean.

Onboard the HTC One VX is HTC's Watch video store for rentals and purchases.

Despite a low-res 5-megapixel sensor, the HTC One VX's camera boasts plenty of advanced features, including several shooting modes and special filters.
