HTC Windows Phone 8X hands-on review

2012-10-29
well hi I'm glad with the verge in this is the windows phone 8x by HTC as the name will tell you this new 4.4 in smartphone runs Microsoft's latest mobile operating system Windows Phone 8 and it does so proudly squared of corners echoed the regular shape of Microsoft's live tiles with the 8x HTC is finally giving Nokia some competition for the price of best-looking Windows Phone device the tapered soft touch back flow seamlessly into a curved gorilla glass screen which is optically laminated making images appear to float on the a Texas surface almost every external surface on the 8x is curved or rounded in some way HC claims this is the most comfortable phone you ever hold however the design is not without its faults the 8x is unusually tall for 4.3 inch phone and make it a major pain to reach its top mounted power button the 8x gets the benefit of two major upgrades of its predecessors comes with a dual-core Snapdragon s4 chip which makes it more powerful and more power efficient but more importantly as a 720p HD display windows phone has been crying out for a resolution upgrade and seeing its newly updated home screen on high pixel density display it's truly a joy to behold the edx can't quite render a perfect black color which is a bitter disappointment considering the black terminated windows phone interface and experience some issues with its automatic brightness but those are mere quibbles this handset has a great display with excellent color accuracy and viewing angles you also enjoy the advantage of the high resolution when browsing the web reviewing pictures you've taken or watching HD video on the device the 8 megapixel camera also takes good pictures but isn't quite in the same category as the iPhone 5 or the Galaxy S free HTS seen fit to include ass Beats Audio branding and enhancements on the 8x so I advise keeping and switched off on the plus side you get a really loud loud speaker and higher voltage through the audio jack to help you drive more power-hungry headphones the 8x feels like the first device of its kind that can truly stand up against Android in the specs race it is LTE an HD display a modern geo core processor and a truly cutting-edge design price at $99 with AT&T in the United States the windows phone 8x is a flagship phone mid-range price point make it an easy recommendation for anyone looking to give Windows Phone 8 a try
