It ships with Android 4.0.3 (Ice Cream Sandwich), not upgradable to 4.1 (Jelly Bean), Sense UI 4. For Free Fire, the HTC One V does not run — With the Qualcomm MSM8255 Snapdragon S2 chipset and memory configuration, Free Fire falls below the recommended minimum.

How the gaming Score is calculated
The score is a weighted average of the device's compatibility with each of the 8 games evaluated. Each game gets a verdict (0 to 100) and a weight, and the final score is the average of those points.
- Won't run — 0 points
- Runs on low — 25 points
- Runs on medium — 55 points
- Runs on high — 80 points
- Runs competitive — 100 points
Heavy games (Genshin Impact, PUBG Mobile, CoD Mobile) carry more weight than light games (Subway Surfers, Brawl Stars), because running the heavy one already implies handling the light one. Each game's verdict combines chipset (tier or real AnTuTu), minimum RAM, screen refresh rate and operating system.
